BOSTON (WHDH) - Sal’s Pizza is celebrated 35 years of business with a pizza eating contest Friday night.
To commemorate 35 years, 35 people raced to see who can finish an extra large pizza the fastest.
The extra-large pie is a three pound, 19 inch pizza.
“We haven’t done a pizza eating contest in a while, we decided to bring it back, man vs food style,” said Sal Lupoli Jr., of Sal’s Pizza. “We have 35 contestants, all paid $15 for an entry fee, and what is so beautiful about this event, is every single $15 that was entered is going right to the Matt Light Foundation. So, we are giving back, but also putting on a very fun event tonight.”
The winner received $1,000 and free Sal’s Pizza for a year.
