Are you an amateur eater looking for your claim to fame? Do you think you can handle a 28″ pepperoni pizza by yourself in less than an hour? And finally, are you in the Southern California area? Well seriously, what are you waiting for, head on down to LW Pizza right now and try your luck at the LW Pizza Eating Challenge. 5 amateurs have attempted the challenge and all 5 have failed miserably. Big Ben Monson apparently came by and finished the challenge in 20 minutes 15 seconds without even breaking a sweat, but that’s not who this challenge is for, this is for amateurs only. Be prepared to show ID and have your name “googled” before attempting the challenge to keep it fair for the true amateurs.

When is this event? I live in norcal but would love to enter!
Louis: It is not an event, you can just go in and attempt the challenge, but I would call ahead as usually with these large pizzas it takes some time to make and the restaurant needs a little heads up.

how old do you have to be to take part in this challenge?
I was totally pumped to do this challenge and called ’em up to find out the price and if it’s still around. The guy that answered told me the challenge doesn’t exist anymore due to people coming coming in at random times and it affected their business. BUT, come July, they’ll have a new challenge set for Saturdays at 2PM. They’re also changing the prize. Just thought I’d give you a heads-up.
