Pointers Pizza
I've got my eye on this if I'm ever in St. Louis. I hardly every eat pizza, but once or twice a year when I do, I can eat the hell out of it. This money would be mine if I found a worthy partner!!

Many St. Louisans may find it hard to believe, but travelers from around the world are detouring to Richmond Heights to visit a tiny pizza restaurant just south of the intersection of Big Bend Boulevard and Clayton Road. They're in search of the Pointersaurus, "the world's largest delivered pizza," a 28-inch-round monster.
For years now, Pointers has offered a $500 prize to any two-member team who can demolish an entire 10-pound, two-meat-topping, 28-inch pizza in an hour without leaving the customer area. Teams must call at least a day in advance and cannot compete during lunch or dinner rushes. A pair of recent winners advise ordering lean toppings such as turkey and chicken, lest nausea become a disqualifying factor. The Pointersaurus Challenge costs $42, but the pizza sells briskly for parties and office lunches at $35 for a cheese pizza and $5 for each topping.
