This restaurant is serving 24K gold pizza for $2000 because why not?

If your tastes err towards the expensive, we might just have the pizza for you.

Industry Kitchen, a restaurant “nestled along the East River” in New York City serves tender steak, a variety of seafood dishes and scrumptious desserts.

But in the midst of all the comforting familiarity of high-end, but ordinary grub, there’s something different.

A rare dish.

A gold dish.

Seriously.

Yes, their dish, simply named ‘24K’, sits inconspicuously bellow a $20 (£16) salmon, and above a $19 (£15) lasagna dish.

The pizza contains 24K gold edible flakes, white stilton cheese, Ossetra caviar from the Caspian Sea, and truffles and Fois Gras from France.

And all for the price of $2000 (£1,600).

If you slice the pizza into eight pieces, it's $250 (£203) per slice.

Executive Chef Braulio Bunay told Town&Country:

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

Lavish. That's one way to put it.
