What’s more appalling (and impressive) than demolishing a full pizza to yourself in 10 minutes?

19 pizzas.

That’s how many 9-inch cheese-wheels Geoffrey Esper of Oxford, Massachusetts inhaled at Sunday’s Major League Eating-sanctioned event at the Vaughan Pizza Festival just north of Toronto. The official tally of consumption was actually 19.25 full-sized za’s in the allotted 600 seconds — a sensational feat of mental strength and intestinal athleticism, to say the least.

More impressive than taking down nearly two pizzas per minute and ingesting over 16,300 calories of greasy goodness in such a short span is the fact that he beat the GOAT of face-stuffing, Joey Chestnut, who finished second after slamming a measly and pathetic 17 pies.

Esper knows his way around the gluttony game, to be sure, as he currently holds the world record in the 10-inch division when he killed 83 slices in 10 minutes back in April.
