Princess Cruises Sets Guinness World Record for Largest Pizza Party
Princess Cruises recently made waves in the culinary world by setting a Guinness World Record for hosting the largest pizza party ever across 16 ships spanning three continents and eight time zones. This record-breaking event, in partnership with renowned pizza-maker Chef Tony Gemignani, delighted passengers with over 60,000 slices of pizza.
Celebrating their new collaboration, Princess Cruises introduced two exclusive pizzas by Chef Tony Gemignani, each featuring a unique blend of flavors. From Soppressata sausage and hot honey to agave pesto and fresh goat cheese, these pizzas showcase Chef Gemignani’s culinary expertise and creativity. Additionally, three of his award-winning pizza recipes were shared for passengers to enjoy onboard.
Guinness World Records adjudicator Callie Smith commented on the excitement generated during the event, affirming Princess Cruises’ achievement in setting a new world record for the largest pizza party.
Chef Tony Gemignani personally trained Princess Cruises’ chefs at his renowned Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco and onboard the ships. The pizzas initially debuted at Alfredo’s aboard the new Sun Princess, with plans to roll out across the entire fleet by summer’s end.
John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises, expressed enthusiasm about elevating the onboard dining experience with Chef Gemignani’s expertise. “Princess is dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences, and pizza is a cornerstone of that commitment,” Padgett remarked. “Collaborating with the legendary Tony Gemignani not only enhances our culinary offerings but also secured a Guinness World Records title—a testament to our dedication to innovation and guest satisfaction.”
For those unable to cruise but craving a taste of the best pizza, Princess Cruises ensures that Chef Tony Gemignani’s creations will continue to be available, promising a slice of culinary excellence wherever you are.
