Are you hungry? How about a pizza? Just be careful if you go to Bella Napoli, an Italian restaurant in the Scottish city of Glasgow. If you order a pizza there, it could cost you more than £2,000 (or 30,000 Yuan).


Chef Domenico Crolla has created what he hopes will be the world's most expensive pizza. The base of the pizza is handmade dough 1 and the toppings include caviar, Scottish smoked salmon 2, lobster 3 marinated in cognac and venison medallions – all apparently 4 very pricey nibbles 5 that James Bond enjoys. The pizza even has thin slices of gold on it as its final touch.


Chef Crolla has dubbed 6 his creation 'The Pizza Royale 007' in honour of the new James Bond film which has just been released in Britain. The Chef said 'If any pizza was made to suit 007, this is it.'


But what made him want to create such an expensive meal? For Domenico, it's all about charity. He's hoping to raise money for a good cause. He's going to be donating all the money for the pizza to The Fred Hollows Foundation, a charity which helps blind people in developing countries.


His pizza will be on eBay (the online auction 7 website) until the 19th of November, giving people around the world the chance to bid for this one-off creation.


If you're the lucky winning bidder 8, you'll have the option of having the pizza prepared for you in one of Domenico's restaurants in Glasgow or having him deliver it to your home.


In an exclusive interview with BBC Learning English he said he would even hand deliver this pizza to China so that he could set another world record for the longest distance ever travelled to deliver a pizza. He visited Hong Kong as part of his 40th birthday celebrations in June 2006 and says he's very keen to visit China again soon.


But if even a slice of this pizza is too expensive for you, you could instead try one of Scotland's other famous dishes – a deep fried Mars bar. That's a cold chocolate bar deep fried in batter 9 which you can buy for the more modest price of just 75 pence (or about 12 Yuan).
