"Sarvesh Jadhav runs a cafe called Rika in Pune, where he has created the world’s smallest pizza, measuring just one inch in size. Since 2017, his button pizzas have received overwhelming appreciation. To date, he has produced over 8 lakh of these tiny delights," the News 18 reports.

"Speaking to Local18, Sarvesh shared, “While walking home, I saw two underprivileged children eating food at Goodluck Chowk. They had a burger and half a slice of pizza. I asked them when they would eat pizza again, and they replied, ‘If someone gives it to us, we will eat it’. Their words deeply moved me. I thought to myself, if these children want to eat pizza again, I must make it affordable."

“Everyone can afford to spend Re 1. That’s when I came up with the idea of button pizza and set its price at just Re 1," he further added.

“This initiative has not only satisfied the hunger of underprivileged children but has also allowed them to eat with dignity and self-respect," he says.

"While most chefs aiming for world records focus on the largest or longest pizzas, Chef Jadhav decided to make smaller pizzas count," the Pune Pulse reports.


"The initiative was inspired by an emotional moment when he witnessed underprivileged children consuming leftover pizza. Moved by this, he created the “Button Pizza,” priced at just ₹1, to make the joy of eating pizza accessible to those who otherwise might not afford it.


"Supported by a team of 20-25 chefs, the pizzas were distributed to children from a local orphanage in Pune, ensuring the record-breaking effort also made a difference in the community."
