Some people might look at an eight-pound pizza and think "No way." Even the most enthusiastic pizza lover might shy away from such an epic pie. But for those brave souls who see such a thing and think, Challenge accepted, well, allow us to introduce you to Stellian's. This Kentucky pizzeria is known for its massive 'zas and piled-high pies, with the Stellian's Special tipping the scales at an impressive eight pounds. And yes, in case you were wondering, Stellian's has a dining challenge, and it really is a bucket-list feat for any Kentucky pizza aficionado!
There's pizza...
...and there's Stellian's Pizza. Big difference.
Big. Difference. Allow us to explain.
Stellian's arrived in Central City, Kentucky, in 2011, and this humble little establishment took the Bluegrass by storm, forever chasing the state's pizza landscape.
The inside of this restaurant is a classic, old-school pizzeria, complete with worn wood tables, tile floors, and delightfully kitschy decor.
The pizzeria is known for its larger-than-life menu, a theme that can be found in everything from the starters to the massive desserts.
Most notably, the pizzeria is home to the eight-pound Stellian's Special, a Chicago-style, deep dish, stuffed crust pizza that's the stuff of pizza lovers' dreams!
Each behemoth 'za is created with a thick house-made crust stuffed with multiple layers of dough, toppings, sauce, and cheese. So. Much. Cheese. Each slice of this masterpiece clocks in at a solid pound(!).
What goes well with an eight-pound pizza? A foot-tall Freak Shake, of course!
Now, the Stellians's 8 Pound Chowdown Challenge: order and polish off an entire special pizza *and* milkshake in 40 minutes. No sharing, either! For the courageous souls that complete this feat, the meal is free and a t-shirt is awarded.
So far, no one has conquered this Kentucky pizza challenge. But who knows? Maybe it will be you!
Would you be bold enough, hungry enough, to conquer the Stellian's pizza challenge? This is one feat for your foodie bucket list!
