Unsurprisingly, it features some of the world’s spiciest chillies

Should you accept the Naga chilli challenge you can expect to devour a sizzling combination of sliced and crushed Naga – seeds included – sliced Jalapeños, pulled steak, chicken and a chilli cheese crumb.
The supermarket advises that while the pizza is aimed at chilli lovers, for others it will extremely painful to eat.
