Delivery to outer space
In 2001, Pizza Hut delivered a pizza to astronaut Yuri Usachov and his team at the International Space Station – the only pizza ever delivered to outer space. It rode aboard a Russian rocket used to resupply the ISS.

The pizza was a 6-inch salami affair and it cost a casual $1 million to deliver.

Emergency Pizza
In 2014, a flight from Washington to Denver was diverted 100 miles off course because of hazardous weather conditions. The story made headlines when the pilot ordered pizzas for the entire plane and had them delivered right to the tarmac.

Award Winning Pizza Delivery
Ellen DeGeneres placed an order for 35 hot pizza’s for some of her friends – at The Oscars.

Early in the broadcast of the 86th Academy Awards, Degeneres, who hosted the night, joked about having pizza delivered to the celebrity crowd. A little while later, she surprised the audience by having several boxes from Los Angeles pizzeria Big Mama’s & Papa’s brought out on stage.

Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Jared Leto, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale and Martin Scorsese all helped themselves to a slice. Leonardo DiCaprio declined (we’re sure his nerves were just racked).

The delivery guy ended up getting a cheeky $1000 tip.

A Slice of Home
In 2012, a group called Pizzas 4 Patriots sent 30,0000 pizzas to the United States Army who were stationed at the Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, this was the largest pizza delivery ever.

Presidential Pizza
Back in 2009, US president Obama got a little craving for his favorite pizza: Sommers’s (from a restaurant in Missouri). The restaurant offered to deliver a few frozen pizzas to the president, but was told they couldn’t send food to the White House due to security restrictions. Instead, Obama’s team arranged to have the pizza chef bring himself, 20 pounds of dough and 10 liters of sauce to the White House to be cooked there.

Deep Sea Delivery
Rob Doyle works for Tower of Pizza in Key Largo, Florida. Each time he gets an order from the local underwater hotel, Jules’ Undersea Lodge, he dons his scuba gear and plops into the ocean to make his delivery. That’s commitment.

Largest pizza of Belgium
In the Belgian town of Namur is a pizzeria named ‘Pizza chez toi’. There you can order a pizza  of  1 meter by 80 centimeters..  This Pizza Familia contains four ingredients of your choice and costs € 60.

The biggest problem is to transport the pizza. The four to six kilo pizza does not fit through the door and should therefore be cut into three pieces.
