No matter how you slice it, this pizza is only for the 1%. A pie topped with 24-karat gold leaves, foie gras, truffles and dollops of caviar is $2,000 at Industry Kitchen in the Financial District. That’s a hefty $250 a slice " and $50 for every bourgie bite. The Industry Kitchen restaurant in New York’s South Street Seaport was inspired by the nearby Financial District, which attracts the wealthy from all over the world, to create the “epitome of decadence” pizza. It’s officially called ‘the fance’za’, but epitome of decadence sounds much more appropriate. The $2,000 pie is made of a black pie made with squid ink, Stilton cheese imported from England, Foie Gras and truffles from France, Ossetra caviar harvested from the Caspian Sea, edible flowers, and lost of edible 24K gold strips and flakes from Ecuador. N.Y. chefs say gold leaf topping is tasteless on $2,000 pizza.
