Imagine having pizza on Africa’s rooftop, and above all, hot pizza! Pizza Hut Africa and Yum! Brands have made history with their recent achievement of the highest altitude pizza delivery on land. The General Manager of Pizza Hut Africa, Randall Blackford, along with a group of employees and experienced guides, hiked to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro where they shared a pepperoni pizza at a height of 5,897 m (19,341 ft). This incredible feat was accomplished with a specially designed pizza box backpack and marked the launch of the first Pizza Hut in Tanzania, the 100th country that the restaurant company has entered.
Pizza Hut’s Special Pizza Box Backpack
To complete the record-breaking delivery, Pizza Hut designed a special pizza box backpack that could hold the pizza securely and keep it warm during the four-day journey from the restaurant to the top of the mountain. The backpack was made from durable and lightweight materials and featured a custom-designed insulation system to keep the pizza fresh and hot.
The Journey to the Top
The pizza had to travel approximately 745 km from where it was made to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was transported by car, plane, and on foot by Mr. Consea Dissa and several members of his climbing team. The journey was not without its challenges, but the team was determined to reach the summit and make history.
Verification by Guinness World Records
To ensure that all the guidelines were followed correctly, the official Guinness World Records adjudicator, Pravin Patel, flew out to Tanzania to verify the record attempt. The delivery was carefully monitored, and all the necessary documentation was provided to the Guinness World Records team.
