OK so as I sort of won the McDonalds' challenge here is the next DTP Takeaway Challenge.

Keeping to budget and ubiquity of take away the challenge is:

2 x Dominoes large pizzas within 50 minutes. The pizza must be listed as having at least 215 calories per slice so no cheating by going for basic cheese and tomato.

see http://www.takeafreshlook.co.uk/downloads/Pizzas-N... for details.
Extra points for any side orders / garlic bread consumption.

Not sure I can do it myself but will have a go Tuesday evening.

Tip, they are always BOGOF if you collect.

Hmmm....scratchchintomorrow night maybe.

250 calories per slice ?

Looked at their site and not many of them are over 250,200 would provide more choice ?

Reckon easy do pizza #1 in 25 minutes but another in the same time.....confused

Okay over 215 then, need some way to week out vegetarians.......

see http://www.takeafreshlook.co.uk/downloads/Pizzas-N... for details.

I was looking at out of date info when setting the challenge, the above is linked to from Dominoes web site so should be accurate.

I have got a few slices into the second pizza before and had to stop. I think the strategy is probably to get the first one down in 10 mins or less, then 30 mins rest then the second pizza.

I tried it in the past in a non-challenge situation so no time limit. Reckon faster will get more food down.

Exactly. Last year I did a 72Oz steak in 1 hour challenge and had the steak gone in 20 mins, the 'trimmings' took 30 mins more and were hard going.

Tip for people taking part, get a load of frank's hot sauce dips with your order - the crusts taste (and therefore go down easier) SO much better dipped in it. Can't get enough of the stuff now!

A Domino's large is only 14", a couple of weeks ago I smashed a whole 16" Pizza from a local spot in about 10 mins and felt like I could have gone on.

I've also got the house to myself next Saturday night and i'll be needing some filth after the works Christmas do on Friday night.

Bring it on!!!
