Let me start by saying I am 6 foot, 180 pounds.......not an overeater.

But when it comes to pizza I'm an f'in pig. I just choked down 5 slices with ease (pepperoni and onion). My wife had 2.

Am I in the minority here? I have graduated from 3 slices to 4 on a consistant basis.......5 tonite.....dammit

How many slice do you go through in a sitting?

it depends.....thin crust, I can do five easily.

thicker doughy crust, much less.

^rookies.

I can eat almost a whole large pizza, when I'm hungry.

5' 10", 198.

I'm 6' and 155 lbs and if I'm hungry enough I can eat a whole pizza... so no, you're not alone.

5???? That's it????

What brand of pizza are you eating???

If it's somethin like Giardano's..... Chicago Deep Dish.... then DAYUM!!!!

But if it's like Red Baron, paper thin crust.... Meh.

Sometimes when we go to Pizza Inn (which is a buffet... not sure if it's a nationwide chain) it's not unheard of for me to choke down 12-15 slices, plus a salad. But their crust is kinda thin.

I'm 6'3", 230 lbs.

NY style I would say..... I live in Jersey, so its thinner crust but not a deep dish or anything like that. I consider it regular pizza

I can eat a large Papa John's by myself in one sitting..... that stuff is kinda doughy.

^".... that stuff is kinda doughy."

At that rate, so you will be too!

:P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

... just at 6ft, 220lbs, no fat (34-35" waist), and I can easily knock off an entire pizza ...

... I've also been known to have eaten three (yes 3) footlong grinders from Subway in about 20 minutes ... while having a few beers ...

... when I was really into working out, I would easily take in 6,000-7,000 calories per day ... and about 500 grams of protein (about half was powdered and half was chicken/fish/beef/pork)...

... so 5 slices of pizza?? LOL ... no problem ...

All depends on how thin the crust is and how much (weight) of toppings I put on the pizza.

This one was a thin crust w/ light toppings - I ate most of it in one sitting:

This one which was about the same diameter (eg: the size of my peel), but was a thick (herbed) crust with just under 3/4 of a pound worth of feta, olives (like 6 or 7 different types), garlic, semi-dried tomatoes and pickled peppers similar to a habenero (something out of South Africa, I don't know the name of the pepper offhand), plus probably 1/4 of mozzerella cheese, I could only eat about 1/2 of it.

Puh-leeze. I've been on the road since 4:30 a.m., then in court, satellite office, and now it's 13 hours later, and I pulled into my main office just because I sensed someone somewhere talking about pizza. It's like a disturbance in the force for me.

You get between me and the pizza, they gonna call yo daddy to ID the pieces of what is left of you, and yo mamma will never stop cryin'.

BTW, 6'3", three bills plus a penny or three. My body is a temple...I'm just adding on a wing.

Speaking of wings, that makes me hungrier....

TG....

Were those peppers a little sweet? They look like Piquillo peppers, which originally came from Spain. You can find them at most grocery stores, and they usually come in whole form, minus seeds and stems. The way you got 'em sliced on that pizza makes me think that's what it is.

They're damn good, at any rate. Love to eat 'em right out the can with some goat cheese. Mmmmmmmm...... I think I got a can in the cabinets somewhere!!!

... now I'm getting cravings for pizza ... and we have absolutely NO take-out food delivery here in town ... yep, small town, no such thing as delivery ...

... it sux to live here at times like this ... hell, I'll even say it just plain sux here ... can't wait to move ... still debating 'where'

^

Yes, they were slightly sweet, but that could have also been the way they were cured. I just looked at a picture of the piquillo pepper:

http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/equivalents_substitutions.asp?index=P&tid=1756 

That's about what they looked like - about the size of a habenero, topped, cored, seeded and pickled.

Basically, I went to the olive bar at safeway and just loaded up a container with whatever sounded interesing, got home, sliced it and dumped it on the pizza. There really wasn't any name attached to the peppers - just "sweet pickled peppers" and a origin: South Africa for the sign.

14 was for 12

BTW, tb,

The long red strips are semi-dried tomatoes. The red rings are the peppers.

#13 I hear ya. I was over on the mainland for a herf six days ago...stopped at a Pizza Hut and ordered three large just so I could have a couple slices in the freezer for later.

I used to live within 9 miles of 9 different pizza places, and all 9 of them delivered. Also the best donut store for about 40 miles around.

Mrs. Pacman tore me away from all of that. That's why she mows the 1/4 acre of lawn we now have.

That's not enough punishment.

Buy an additional 1/4 acre.

and make her use a manual (rotary wheel) push mower...

4 slices of Papa-Johns . . .

My favorite pizza comes from Bella Luna Trattoria in Murrysville, PA.......I can eat a large there if I want to.
