The dish, however, has left netizens with mixed views. While some were all in and extended their support for the chefs, others labelled the dish as ‘gross’.

“This pizza has 1,001 different types of cheese. Created by French pizza chefs Benoît Bruel and Fabien Montellanico, with help from cheesemaker Sophie Hatat Richart-Luna and YouTuber Florian OnAir, it surpasses the previous record of 834,” GWR wrote.

“Benoît revealed that many farmers and cheesemakers offered him their cheese for free, as they liked the idea of being part of a world record! 940 of the cheeses are French, while the other 61 are from various countries around the world!” they added.
