The Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Pizza Party has been broken. Tulsa-based Andolini's Pizza and the World Pizza Champions, a group of pizzeria owners and operators, set the new record Jan. 21 at the University of Tulsa, according to a press release.

The new world record of 3,357 people simultaneously eating pizza tripled the 2019 record set in Rome. There, 1,046 people contributed to the event. Best Reusable Coffee Cup

Participants had to eat two slices of pizza and drink a bottle of water at the same time.

"This record attempt was a logistical maze and required hundreds of people to successfully pull it off," Mike Bausch, owner of Andolini's Worldwide, said in the press release. "I am so proud of our community in how they came together for a great cause. I never doubted the ability of our team, nor the willingness of Tulsans, to collaboratively step up and raise thousands of dollars for deserving kids and their families facing the unfathomable."

The World Pizza Champions turned the event into a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Oklahoma. The event raised $42,090 and granted eight children's wishes.

"We did the attempt to push what the World Pizza Champions are doing and to show how much can be accomplished for charity when we combine our efforts," Bausch told Pizza Marketplace.
