Italy has safely secured its place as pizza capital of the world.

As part of Milan's Expo 2015, a horde of 60 pizza makers gathered to make one colossal pie on Saturday.

They used 1.7 tons of flour, 1.5 tons of mozzarella and 2 tons of tomato sauce to make a pizza that measured 1.59545 kilometers long — just short of one mile. It was cooked using five ovens.

The impressive pie, which took 18 hours to make, broke a world record. Guinness World Records confirmed that the title of "World's Longest Pizza" is now held by the chefs in Milan.

Periscope had me watching the making of the world's longest pizza. And now I'm really hungry for a slice... — Ampursand (@Ampursand) June 20, 2015
