A Cat forklift was a key ingredient in a giant pizza made on a job site in the United States.

TikTok user Hausplans posted a video of the unusual recipe, which called for a 4 ft. (1.2 m) pan, a leaf blower, 25 lb. (11.3 kg) of dough, a drum roller to flatten the dough, a concrete float to spread the sauce, three full hard hats of mozzarella cheese and peperoni sliced with a hacksaw.

“This pizza was crazy-heavy so we used the Cat to get it into the oven,” Housplans says as the video shows a forklift placing the pizza into an oven made with leftover bricks.

The TikTok video attracted more than 7,800 comments.

“This is probably the coolest things I’ve ever seen in cooking,” says one commenter.

In an older TikTok post, Hausplans shows a Thanksgiving dinner with his construction equipment, with each piece sporting googly eyes.
