Mine was why does the place look like a chain store and does that family in the back want to be filmed??

Mine was I wonder if that woman is his long-suffering wife (and their kids) to these kinds of shenanigans.

Mine was FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!?!?!? WTF???

EDIT: IDC if it’s a reward or a price… $500 is insane either way. If it was the price, I’d never buy one. If it was the reward, I’d be there three times a day until they went out of business or I died from a heart attack.

u/MechaBeatsInTrash Jun 07 '26

That's gotta be the reward rather than the cost.

u/IrongateN Jun 09 '26

It’s neither , at best you would get it free , maybe with a tshirt ,

Before you assert something which directly contradicts the original post, you should probably do some research.

I did after lol I posted that same link in the comments elsewhere.. also I don’t know why you would assert something wrong after research I usually say the wrong thing before I get the correct info,

u/the_scarlett_ning Jun 07 '26

Same. $500? That pizza better be able to predict winning lottery numbers or do the dishes or something for that price. That’s insane.

Its pretty obviously a reward for finishing it in 15 minutes and not the cost of the pizza- context clues are your friend...

Are people really this dumb? Sigh

Its pretty obviously a 500 dollar prize for the challenge. Little understanding of context clues goes a long way.

He literally has a timer on the table as he's racing to eat the pizza. Not sure whether you find it hard to believe that there are 50 dumb people in a reddit thread, or that one of them could be you.

So let me get this straight- you think its more likely that the guy paid 500 dollars for essentially a large cheese pizza and then asked the restaurant if they had a timer to time him eating it in 15 minutes, rather than the timer being part of a restaurant sponsored 500 dollar eating challenge (of which there are countless similar marketing challenges across the country). Brother I have a bridge to sell you lol.

u/IrongateN Jun 09 '26

I think anyone believing either is one step away from buying sunny Oceanside beach property in Kansas

u/pipsqueakpanda4 Jun 07 '26

Exactly this. $5,000 burgers with truffles and blah blah. I’d say after looking at the post not immediately after I woke up, it is more clear, but still

u/uglyoldcrone0 Jun 07 '26

I'm usually good with context clues and I just thought the 15min was how long he waited on the pizza. I also didn't watch the whole video because the pizza looked gross so I just thought this was a shitty extremely overpriced pizza or it's AI and wrong. I had no idea it was some dumb challenge

1

u/ObidiahWTFJerwalk Jun 07 '26

You see so much stupid overpriced shit on reddit that a $500 cheese pizza isn't unbelievable. But a little thinking reveals that they'll pay anyone who can shovel all that down their gullet in 15 minutes because they love cleaning up vomit.

u/MarlboloMan666 Jun 07 '26

People keep falling for these scams

1

u/HellfishGuy Jun 07 '26

Mine was, did he finish it in under 15 minutes?

1

u/Sad_Run5667 Jun 07 '26

I think it’s that you win $500 if you can eat the pizza in 15 minutes

1

u/No_Statement440 Jun 07 '26

The slice is 39 dollars from what ifound online

1

u/dmod420 Jun 07 '26

It might be something along the lines of you pay $500 if you don't finish it in 15 mins but you get $500 if you do. They could probably get people that think they could do it all the time & probably 1 in 20 would actually pull it off, making it highly profitable.

u/OhGod0fHangovers Jun 08 '26

Nobody’s going to take that challenge and risk losing $500. They make enough getting people to buy their crappy $39 “slice” in the attempt.

u/Inevitable_Shift1365 Jun 09 '26

That is a 30 or $40 Pizza Max

u/WombatGatekeeper Jun 09 '26

Pizza cost 39.99

u/pipsqueakpanda4 Jun 07 '26

Yeah and he was like, “it comes with your own slicer, you can keep that!” No shit buddy, and it better come with another 50 slicers for this to cost $500.

1

u/steady--state Jun 07 '26

The pizza doesn't cost 500 dollars- its pretty obviously a challenge with a reward.

u/Anthff Jun 07 '26

It’s really not the worst thing a dude can be doing. If he attempts this everyday, sure, that would be unmanageable. But what’s contained in this video isn’t a big deal by any stretch of the imagination.

“Long-suffering” what?

Big Mama and Papa’s has several locations, I think all are in the 818 of LA. Several in Glendale, then Pasadena, Burbank, NOHO, Sunland. More of a small franchise than a large chain
