IS this Perth’s first $100 pizza?
Some locals who normally wouldn’t even spend $20 on a pizza to feed a family of four might baulk at the cost.
However, the $100 pizza at Gee’s Pizza, in Forrestfield, is indeed something extra special. The precious-as-gold pizza fillings include lobster, smoked salmon, caviar and buffalo mozzarella.
Business owner Gee Whitcombe says the $100 pizza is an attempt to take the humble pizza to a whole new level.
The pizza is the equivalent of a sit-down restaurant meal, he says.
“I wanted to raise the stakes and stir things up a bit,” Mr Whitcombe said.
“If people go out for a lobster meal, they would spend the same amount.”
Mr Whitcombe said while he sells only “a couple” of $100 pizzas each month, there were regular customers who continued to come in to his Hale Road shop to order it.
“Mostly, people order it once just to give it a try,” he said.
Mr Whitcombe also sells a more popular $50 pizza, which features wagyu beef, shaved ham, bacon strips and gourmet sausage.
“We sell four to five of them each week,” he said.
