The fiery 'roulette' 10-inch features one of the hottest chillies in the world – are you brave enough to try it?

Morrisons has launched a devilish new trick or treat pizza featuring one of the top 10 spiciest chillies in the world.

The supermarket's fiery Halloween special includes ghost peppers, which measure over one million units on the Scoville heat scale – and they're hidden in different slices.

Customers braving the heat in the roulette-style challenge will switch between heavenly bites of cheese and hellish chomps of chilli, some of which will be 200 hundred times hotter than Tabasco sauce.

The 10-inch dish comes with an official warning label and also includes Scotch Bonnets, which are lively peppers that measure between 100,000 to 350,000 on the tongue-blasting scale.

To cool off after the taste of pure fire, other slices are slathered with slightly cooler ingredients, but still with a punchy tang.

Extra toppings range from jalapeño pepperoni to spicy chicken and mild cheese, turning the pizza into one dangerous Halloween game that flips between hot and mild.
