WATCH: Do you think you could take down this giant pizza-burrito?

Pizza-burrito

It’s the same weight as a healthy baby.

Burritos have taken the nation by storm lately.

You can hardly walk down the street without seeing somewhere to buy one, and every time you login to Instagram or Snapchat you see everyone you know tucking into one.

Which is why we think this pizza-burrito could go down an absolute treat in Ireland.

Granted, we don’t have the same inexplicable love of unbelievably cheesy foods that the Americans do, but you have to admit that this does look a tiny bit delicious.

So, first of all, you make a normal pizza base. Nothing too crazy. Then you add a bit of tomato sauce, some cheese and some chicken. All going well so far. Then some pepperoni. Then a load of pasta for some reason. And it only gets weirder from there…

Next is some more sauce. Then some more cheese. Then a load of mozzarella sticks. Now all you have to do is cook it, then roll it like a burrito, and then boom, you’re ready to never eat again.

Have a look at the monster for yourself.

This cheesy creation is available in Russo’s in New York, and it would probably be worth the flight over to be honest, seeing as you’ll never have to pay for food ever again.

Owner of the restaurant Michael Russo told Food Insider that: “It’s around seven pounds. And it’s definitely not based off your 2,000 calorie-a-day diet.”

What do you reckon? Could you take down the pizzarito?

Russo says: “Everybody that comes in thinks they can finish it. But they cant, because it takes about two or three people to actually finish one.”

Maybe the pizzarito will make its way to Ireland one day… Let us dream.
