Two years ago, an Italian man named Giovanni Favalli held the Guinness World Record for most pieces of pizza eaten in one day. On July 28th, 2018, Favalli ate an astonishing 100 slices of pizza in just 24 hours. In order to set the record, the pizza was prepared in accordance with the official Guinness regulations, which included the use of standard, round pizzas made with a basic tomato sauce.
Favalli had long dreamed of setting a Guinness World Record, and he had specifically chosen the pizza eating challenge as his record to break. He began training for the event several months ahead, gradually increasing the amount of pizza he ate in a single sitting until he was confident he could surpass the existing record of 94 slices.
On the day of the record attempt, Favalli was accompanied by his family and friends, as well as members of the Guinness World Records team. They entered a large room in a restaurant that had been specially outfitted for the attempt. It had been divided into sections, with the first section set up for the actual eating, while the others featured a variety of activities to keep Favalli’s mind and body active while he ate.
Favalli began by eating a single slice of pizza every five minutes, and he continued at that pace for 24 hours. He was not allowed to take any breaks or nap breaks during this time, but he was allowed to take small sips of water in between slices. The Guinness team monitored Favalli’s progress closely, and they also supplied him with additional pizza throughout the day.
At the end of 24 hours, Favalli had successfully eaten 100 slices of pizza. He was elated, and his friends and family were proud of his accomplishment. He was officially awarded the Guinness World Record for most slices of pizza eaten in one day, and his accomplishment was featured in the Guinness World Records 2019 Edition.
Favalli has since retired from the world of pizza eating, but his record still stands. He remains an inspiration to aspiring record breakers everywhere. His determination and dedication to achieving his goal is an example of what can be achieved through sheer will and determination.
