If you’re used to eating pizzas under $10, this news may be a little too hard for you to digest. However, in giving the ultimate fast food favorite a spin of sorts is the luxurious Address Beach Resort at Dubai’s Marina Beach.

The ultra-extravagant take on the classic Italian dish includes a generous helping of white Alba truffles. The seasonal ingredient is referred to as the diamond of the culinary world and is undoubtedly pricey and delicious too!
