The big question is “Is there really a person who want to pay £169,452 for a pan of pizza?”. Well, the answer is if the pizza is made and served and priced, surely there is someone who wants to pay for it, someone with a lot of money obviously. Since it is Dubai by the way, people there probably don’t really know how to spend their money which is too much for their already fat accounts. Life is sometimes so unfair, isn’t it?
