Outside Guatemala City, Pacaya volcano is quietly erupting.

It's sending lava flows of over 2,300 metres onto the farmland that surrounds its base.

However, one enterprising individual has found opportunity where others have only seen a threat.

In a departure from his accountancy work, David Garcia has turned his talents to Italian cuisine, baking volcanic pizzas on Pacaya's lava flows.

It was an idea that just sprang into his head.

This exciting environment is not without its perils.

Pacaya is expelling ash from its crater and in March this, combined with strong winds, forced an ash-coated Guatemala City airport 25 kilometres away to close.

With the volcanic activity falling to more manageable and less hazardous levels, tourist access to the area has now resumed.

And of course Garcia has put on his protective gear and dug out his special pizza pans once more.

Garcia's magmatic cuisine has brought him social media celebrity and there's no shortage of guests waiting to try out his lava-baked pizza.

But if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the volcanic kitchen!
