It's a pizza, it's a dinosaur, no it's a Pointersaurus
By: Erin Wides
A local Pizza restaurant in Richmond Heights holds a contest everyday at 3 pm, for a chance for contestants to win a $500 prize. Pointer’s Pizza has a 28” pizza, called the Pointersaurus. Two people are given an hour to finish a two meat or a four vegetable pizza, beverages included.
Washington University students Antonio and Tom came in one day with their friend Jason to take on the challenge. Jason was there for support, and the ride home, when asked if he thought his friends were crazy he shook his head a laughed.
The oven opened and revealed the 28” pizza; an aroma of warm pizza filled the air.
“We’ve done it before and came close to finishing, we thought, why not try again?” Antonio said
When asked if Tom was nervous or had any strategy, with twiddling thumbs and wondering eyes, he responded, “Not really.”
When the pizza was being placed in front of them, smiles came upon their faces. A strategy was not needed for these two hungry college students. A little bit intimidated, but they were ready to start. The first bite was taken at, 3:05:33 pm. Conversation was being held within the first five minutes.
