Where we come from, pizza is supposed to be cheap. That’s one of the best things about it. You have your dollar slices and then your fancy brick oven pies, but you’d never expect to pay more than $30 for a pizza. But, since we live in a world infatuated with extravagant eats, it’s fitting that chefs would come up with a way to turn even the most casual food into a classy work of art.
And apparently, adding edible gold to anything ups the ante… even though it adds no extra taste or texture whatsoever. It’s purely visual, yet people (cough millennials cough) are willing to spend absurd amounts of dough to eat it up. These pizzas are covered with edible gold, and even though they’re gorgeous, they’re just way to extra for us.
