Last summer, 30,000 pizzas were delivered to military personnel serving in Afghanistan, making it the world's largest pizza delivery according to Guinness World Records. The massive delivery was organized by Pizza 4 Patriots, a nonprofit created to assist soldiers located in Kandahar, Bagram and Camp Bastion

Founder and former Air Force master sargeant Mark Evans was delighted by the news, telling ABC News "The world record is secondary to taking care of our soldiers and sending them a slice of home." The organization has been sending pies to troops since 2008, delivering over 122,000 total during that period.
