What toppings? Are we talking fresh Moz? White sauce? This is very important.

A pizza oven is about 450 C, so I’ll figure it out based on this graph of the temperature in the Earth by depth.

0 to 500 C = 80 px
6.25 C per pixel
450/6.25 = 72 px

0 to 100 km = 54 px
1.85 km per pixel

Line y coordinate at 72 px x coordinate = 9 px
9*1.85 = ~17 km

The deepest hole we’ve ever actually drilled is the Kola superdeep borehole, which is a bit over 12 km deep. This is a fair bit short of our ideal pizza oven temperature, but it did see temperatures of 180 C, which is certainly enough to cook a pizza.

Keep digging. You can’t rush a good pizza.

In the area I live, this would mean you could be standing right next to the pizza cooking bore, and still be outside of the delivery range.

The geothermal gradient is different at different parts of the earth. You can probably bake a pizza at much shallower depths at the mid ocean ridge, near a volcano, or even at an active orogeny.

Yeah. There is also likely a position in the earth where its possible to cook a human perfectly by getting them to bring a pizza there.

There must be infinitely many such positions if there is one
