An Italian restaurant in Australia made a 338ft (103m) margherita pizza to raise money for firefighters battling the extreme bushfires across the country.
Based in New South Wales, the owners of Pellegrini restaurant, Pierre and Rosemary Moio, wanted to help the people in uniform by raising some funds.

The restaurant cooked the pizza by using metre-long pieces of dough and sticking them together. Later, they covered it with tomato sauce and mozzarella before it was baked in a conveyor oven.
The rectangular pizza was then seasoned with basil leaves, oregano and olive oil before being sliced into 4,000 pieces.
Over 50 workers were reportedly involved in making of the giant margherita pizza.
Each of the slices was sold for a gold coin to raise money for New South Wales Rural Fire Service.
