Can You Win The Benny Tudino's Pizza Challenge In Hoboken?
You can win a giant pizza, a t-shirt, and lots of respect if you complete the Benny Tudino's Challenge in Hoboken.

HOBOKEN, NJ — Benny Tudino's Pizza in Hoboken is known for its giant pizza slices. The family-owned Italian restaurant, founded in 1968, has walls full of photos of famous visitors (including President Joe Biden) and babies posed next to their huge slices.
But are their pizzas too big to eat in one sitting?
For most people, yes. Still, the restaurant is looking for that one pizza hero to win the "Benny's Challenge."

The restaurant posted a video last week noting that they've offered a challenge for years: "If you can eat a house pie by yourself in 30 minutes," including the crust, you'd get the pie, a t-shirt, and your photo on the wall.
No one has won so far. So now, the restaurant says, they'll give you up to 45 minutes. If you call them ahead on Monday or Tuesday, you can come in and try.
