MANHATTAN — You might want to order Burger King's new NY Pizza Burger with a side of defibrillator.

The latest gastronomic monstrosity from the fast food chain, which features four beef patties, will clock in at a stomach busting 2,520 calories, according to the Daily News.

The burgers, which will be topped with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and marinara sauce, will be rolled out at Burger King's Times Square Whopper Bar in early September, the News reported.

The burgers contain 144 grams of fat, more than twice the recommended daily total for an average New York male, and would require one to walk from Battery Park to Inwood and back again to burn it off.

For those looking to indulge somewhat guilt free, the chain points out each nine-inch wide burger is actually meant to be shared and is cut into six single-serving slices, at 420 calories each, according to the paper.

No word yet on if New Yorkers plan to fold each wedge in half before chowing down.
