Paying a little over $25 for a single pizza may sound expensive. However, that price tag seems like nothing for the celebrity clients of a TikTok chef who recently received an order to spend $2,000 just to prepare this dish.

TikTok user Chef Bae (@chefbae) posted a video of her shopping and preparing these pricey and yummy pies for her customers, who, she said, wanted the pizza as an appetizer during dinner.

The Los Angeles-based private chef decided to go to Erewhon — an upscale supermarket chain in California — to find all the ingredients she needed to cook.

"I am wearing sunglasses because it is the 'Erewalk of Shame.' I’ve been here three times today," the content creator says in the clip before entering the store.

Once inside Erewhon, the content creator proceeded to select a variety of ingredients she paid a total of $944.48 at the register. Additionally, Chef Bae made online orders for honey from New Zealand and caviar, which she paid an extra $200 for.

After putting all the ingredients together and preparing the pizza, the TikToker finished the dish by topping the pizza with 24k gold flakes.

TikTok users have flooded the comment section of Chef Bae’s video in astonishment and disbelief.
