The restaurant, set along East River, tops its 24-karat gold pizza with truffles and Fois Gras from France, imported white Stilton cheese, dollops of Ossetra caviar from the Caspian Sea – but the most precious ingredient is the gold flakes sprinkled on top.

Cut into eight slices, the pizza costs a whopping $2,000 with each slice costing an approximate $250. A bite out of this golden entry will cost you about $50.



The man behind this intriguing idea, chief chef Braulio Bunay said he was inspired to create the exquisite dish by the city’s financial district – terming it "the epitome of decadence".

"The pizza is extremely rich - if you're in the mood for a lavish meal, this is the pizza for you," he said.
