A new pizza shaped like a star and topped with diced steak, bacon, pepperoni, cucumber, tomato, red onion, lettuce, cheese, and fries has become a viral sensation.

Now diners are rushing to Nya Gul & Blå pizzeria in Piteå, in northern Sweden to order the 120 kronor (£9.30), Vulcan pizza which is designed with cheese-filled pockets that can be stuffed with a variety of fillings.

The brainchild of chef Halmat Givra and employee Kifa Algaf, the pizza, which was two months in the making can be customised to individual tastes and has already been hailed by one website as, 'the most beautiful thing to happen to humanity.'

Halmat and Kifa came up with the idea as the family-run business pizzeria was often inundated with requests from customers for various toppings.

Vean Algaf, daughter of the owner, told FEMAIL: 'We wanted to make something new for the restaurant and started testing with various shapes around two months ago.

'We finally shared the final version with customers yesterday.'

'There are many [customers] who want to have different ingredients,' Kifa to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

'I thought that I must put an end to the stress. So one day I sat down, drew a star, and thought of different flavours that might be,' she continued.

The pie has been designed with 'pockets' to hold various toppings.

The first two pockets are filled with ham and cheese, two others have more cheese and beef tenderloin and the last two are stuffed with bacon and salami.

The star-shaped centrepiece can be filled with fries, salads and condiments and customers can choose whatever toppings they like for the pockets.

The pizzeria uploaded images of the giant meaty feast on their Facebook page, where it has received more than 13,000 likes and 3,000 shares.

'People are very interested in the pizza. We've had a lot of phone calls and we've sold a few as well.' Vean continued.

'We're even getting mail from people to know where we are and how much one cost,' she said.

Facebook user Björn Vahlberg commented: 'Thought I'd try one tomorrow if there's dough left.'

But it's not just the Swedes who are impressed.

Norwegian user Alexander Heyerdahl wrote: 'You send to Norway or...?'

Swedish media has been raving about the pizza with website Nyheter 24 described the pie as 'the most beautiful thing to happen to humanity.'

The country's pizza scene is famous for it's downright bizarre creations, with everything from chocolate and bananas to kebab, honey and even curry used as toppings.

'Swedish pizza is its own thing, based on convoluted notions of exotica and on the base cravings that can attach themselves to base commerce,' Johan Kugelberg wrote on Huffington Post.

'The Swedish pizza is recognizable, but yet the myriad combinations of tomato sauce, cheese, banana, capers, chicken, ham, guacamole, onions, etc... very much ad nauseum provides a pleasant process of selection, choices, exoticism and naming,' he continued.
