Can You Finish Maine's 30-Inch Pizza Challenge in 45 Minutes?

Calling all pizza lovers!

If you're looking for a crazy food challenge, the 30-inch "Gridiron" Team Pizza Challenge at End Zone Pizza & Deli in Augusta, is definitely one to check out. The challenge is pretty simple in theory but much harder in practice. You and a teammate, or if you're feeling especially brave, just you, have 45 minutes to finish an massive 30-inch pizza.

This isn't your average large pizza, either. A 30-inch pie is huge and takes some serious teamwork and appetite to conquer. Over the years, the challenge has attracted well-known competitive eaters like Randy Santel and Katina Eats Kilos, who have both taken it on. A handful of local pizza lovers have also managed to beat the clock and earn their place on the restaurant's Wall of Fame.

If you can successfully finish the pizza within the time limit, you'll snag some pretty great prizes. Winners receive $200 in cash, $75 bucks of free pizza for a future visit, custom T-shirts, and, of course, bragging rights for completing one of Maine's biggest pizza challenges.

It all takes place at End Zone Pizza & Deli, located at 315 Eastern Avenue in Augusta. If you're thinking about giving it a shot, it's a good idea to check with the restaurant ahead of time for the latest rules, pricing, and reservation details.

Whether you're a competitive eater or just someone who loves pizza and a good challenge, the Gridiron Team Pizza Challenge sounds like a memorable experience you won't soon forget, and maybe even a delicious way to earn some extra cash.
