Charlotte Pizza Spot Makes Yelp’s 10 Outrageous Oversized Eats List

With the popularity of social media food has certainly gotten more extravagant. Presentation is even more important, and unique foods and dining experiences are everywhere. Many times it's things that you may not order if it weren't for that presentation. Many times this applies to larger-than-life foods. And if that's something you're into you're in luck- a Charlotte restaurant made Yelp's 10 Outrageous Oversized Eats list for 2024. Charlotte Outrageous Oversized Eats So what local spot could possibly fit that description? It's perhaps not what you'd think. Instead of a brand new trendy spot, it's a local NoDa favorite- Benny Pennello's. You probably know Benny Pennello's from their huge slice of pizza. Seriously name a better deal where you get more food for your money. But more specifically the "outrageous oversized eat" that Benny's is home to, according to Yelp, is the massive 28-inch pizza. And like any good restaurant with a larger-than-life menu item, it comes with a challenge.

If you succeed? You'll get $280 (competitive eaters get $100), a T-shirt, a photo on the restaurant’s website, as well as satisfaction and bragging rights. Even if you don't want to take on the challenge the slices are all huge! And delicious. If you've never tried Benny's I'd highly recommend it. What were some other items on the outrageous oversized eats list? A "man vs food burger", "the kitchen sink", and a "monster" six-pound sushi roll are some of the other options.
