If you've ever polished off a large one-topping pizza on your own, congrats. That's an accomplishment. But just in case you think you could be a competitive eater, well, this dude ate 26" of pizza. In 30 minutes.

Watching Matt Stonie eat a 36-slice pizza that takes up his whole table is as impressive as it is gross. He gets the whole thing down in just about 30 minutes, despite the crust being kind of hard. Damn overcooked pizza.

The pizza in question is one quarter cheese, one quarter pepperoni, and half combination mushroom and olive, because if the guy's going to eat 26" of pizza, he should at least get some diversity.

And just in case you want to try this out for yourself, the pizza's from The Pizza Box in Milpitas, CA. But, you really shouldn't be eating this much at home, since even the professional Stonie holds his jaw in pain upon finishing his last slice. That doesn't look fun at all.

It didn't seem possible, but this looks like it's officially too much pizza.
