Enterprising Man Bakes a Variety of Pizzas in the Smoldering Lava of the Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala

David Garcia, an enterprising man in southern Guatemala, decided to make use of the ongoing eruptions from the very active Pacaya Volcano by starting an onsite pizza business. He aptly named it Pizza Pacaya and prepares a wide variety of pies that are all baked in the flowing lava on smoldering rocks. Garcia also offers several pasta dishes that are also baked the same way.

In an improvised kitchen among sharp volcanic rocks, David Garcia spreads the dough and places the ingredients to form a pizza that will be put in a rather unique oven: an extensive river of fiery lava that flows from the furious Pacaya volcano in southern Guatemala.
