Pizzeria goes for record-size Pizza
比萨也疯狂：世界上最大的"可售"比萨饼又有新纪录

A pizzeria named Mama Lena's Pizza House in Pennsylvania is vying for a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's largest commercially available pizza.

The would-be recordsetter measures about 3 feet by 4 1/2 feet and takes up nearly all the space in the shop's brick oven.

The current record holder is a 4-foot diameter pizza offered by Paul Revere's Pizza in Iowa. Dubbed the Ultimate Party Pizza, it uses more than 10 pounds of dough, 48 ounces of sauce and about five pounds of cheese.

Guinness requires that the pizza's making be videotaped and witnessed by a public official.

这条消息一开头就说到这个单词pizzeria，它的意思是匹萨饼店，意大利肉饼店。So this pizza they’re planning is not a one-off, it’s a regular, commercially available one, in other words people can order it off the menu. Wow, you’d need a big appetite for that. 这个批撒的一大亮点就是，它不但相当大，而且是可以拿出来卖给大家吃，大家可以点餐的那种。

Vie for 这个短语的意思就是竞争取得某个成绩。

diameter就是直径的意思。

Pizzas are cooked in special brick ovens which are much bigger, and the brick ovens can radiate the heat very uniformly and produce quite tasty pizzas. 原来要烤制上等的批撒要使用砖炉来烤制，砖炉的特点就是受热均匀，口味独特，而且还可以烤制巨型批撒。

批撒是由下面的面饼base和上面的配料topping构成。

5 kilograms of dough需要5公斤的面团, several bottles of sauce 若干瓶沙司and about three kgs of cheese还得有3公斤的之士.
