What makes this particular piece of pizza from Marina’s Pizza Co. in the Fishtown neighborhood so special is caviar, a gold plate and a mother-of-pearl spoon visitors get to keep (the plate stays at the restaurant).<\/p>\n
“Debuting on Friday, May 22, Marina’s new ‘Caviar Pizza’ is a large white slice with a blend of imported Italian cheeses<\/a> that’s served with a one-ounce jar of premium caviar from Caviar XS, on a gold plate, complete with a mother-of-pearl caviar spoon keepsake,” the restaurant announced in a news release.<\/p>\n AMERICA’S BEST-TASTING PIZZA CHAIN IS AN OLD-SCHOOL FAVORITE, SURVEY FINDS<\/a><\/p>\n “Customers can opt to have Marina’s adorn the slice with caviar, or take the jar and serve themselves as they please,” the restaurant also said. “Slices cost $55 and will be available for a limited time only. Availability each day will be limited, and caviar slices are available for dine-in only.”<\/p>\n The post garnered nearly 400 likes in less than 24 hours and generally positive reactions.<\/p>\n The white pizza at Marina’s Pizza Co., shown here, features fresh mozzarella, 48-hour fermented dough \u2014 and caviar.

Add a squirt of fresh lemon for another burst of flavor.”<\/p>\n Marina’s caviar pizza is priced at $55 per slice. (Marina’s Pizza Co.)<\/p>\n Marina’s owner, Mason Lesser, a 25-year-old former professional surfer, told the Inquirer he wanted to celebrate America’s 250th birthday<\/a>, the FIFA World Cup and the Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Game with an “over-the-top” menu item.<\/p>\n “Besides caviar seemingly being a really popular ingredient these days, I also recently met Gary Shusman, who sells the best caviar<\/a> to many of Philly’s top chefs, and it was a great product. It made me think that I could use it at my shop,” Lesser told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER<\/a><\/p>\n “I got a sample, started experimenting \u2014 and was blown away by the results.”<\/p>\n Marina’s website says it serves “New York-style pizza done right<\/a>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Each pie at Marina’s begins with a 60-year-old Italian starter, undergoes a 48-hour fermentation and is baked in a classic Baker’s Pride oven, the news release said.<\/p>\n The owner said he created the new caviar pizza to help celebrate upcoming events \u2014 including the FIFA World Cup and the MLB All-Star Game.
