Literally. </p><p>Earlier this spring, the team debuted their first-ever six-foot pizza — made with dough fermented over two days and cooked using a custom-built pizza peel. While he was a little nervous about executing the massive rectangular pie (and keeping it in one piece), he couldn't be more pleased with the result. </p><p>"It was like it was meant to be," Sarkis said.
