MAN vs PIZZA at PING! Earls Court

I wrote about Ping! Earls Court back when they opened last year and since then have returned frequently to munch my way through their incredible pizza menu, and try my hand and at ping pong (still terrible…).

It brings out the worst in my competitive streak…. However, if like me, you want to compete, but are better at pizzas than ping pong, they have just the event for you: Man V Pizza!!

The rules are simple: entry is free, eat as many pizzas as you can in 5 minutes and you have the opportunity to win free pizza at Ping… wait for it…for EVER!!!! Surely that’s worth stuffing your face for!?

I headed down to the first one with some friends and my big bro a couple of weeks ago. Now, I have to say I did not take part in this particular competition and chose to savour my pizza and watch from the sidelines, but kudos to the ones who went for it (except for the rubbish girl who was obviously doing it for a free meal as oppose to the spirit of competition and put no effort in whatsoever – NOT what this is about people).

It was a tense competition and the two finalists were very close indeed finishing nearly two whole pizzas each (!). After much cheering from the crowd, the scraps were weighed and a winner declared. Celebratory beer pong all round!

If you reckon you can do better, get in touch with Ping to enter and head down this Thursday 18th to try your luck (or just to eat one of their delicious pizzas and spectate).

If you can’t make it this week, it’s going to be a regular occurrence, so keep an eye on their facebook (https://www.facebook.com/welovePING) and twitter (https://twitter.com/wearePING) for future Man V Pizza opportunities.

On your marks, get set, EAT!
