Garcia cooks pizza on a metal platter that can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius. Once he keeps everything ready on the platter he wears protective clothing from head to toe and places the platter on the lava. It takes only about 10 minutes to cook the pizza.
Pacaya Volcano has been erupting since February 2021 and local communities and authorities were on alert since then. But this didn’t deter David Garcia, a thirty-four-year-old accountant, from cooking pizza on the molten lava. He started cooking pizza on the mountainside in small caverns he found among the rocks way back in 2013. He started ‘Pacaya Pizza’ in 2019 and now it is quite famous with locals as well as tourists. According to media reports Garcia’s pizzas became so popular that people started coming to the area just to try out the unique pizza.
