Apparently there's another one, bigger than VV Cephei called, VV Canis Majoris from the Canis Major constellation.
Here's another pic for comparison from Wikipedia.

Its upper size has recently been calculated at more than 2,100 times the size of the Sun. Placed in our Solar System, its surface would extend out past the orbit of Saturn. Light takes more than 8 hours to cross its circumference.[12] Some astronomers disagree, and think that VY Canis Majoris might be smaller: merely 600 times the size of the Sun, extending past the orbit of Mars.
