An Italian restaurant in Australia made a giant Margherita pizza to help raise money for firefighters. They are putting out the wildfires across the country.

The owners of Pellegrini’s Italian restaurant in Sydney wanted to do something big to help those fighting the fires. They made this pizza in a conveyor oven on Sunday. The pizza was 16-inches wide and 338-feet long. That’s longer than a US football field. They hoped to set a new record for Australia's longest pizza as part of a charity event. They sliced it up into 4,000 slices to feed the people. They showed up to donate money for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service. About three thousand people attended the event, but it’s unclear how much money was raised.

At least 28 people died in the fire season in Australia. The fire started in late July. More than 3,000 families lost their homes in the state of New South Wales alone.
