Bigoli's Ultimate Pizza and Pasta Challenge

Bigoli’s Ultimate Pizza and Pasta Challenge can put havoc in any long endured diet. No matter how strict one’s will power is, one is doomed to succumb to the irresistible chewy cheese overloaded pizza, its crust baked to perfection to satisfy the most discriminating palate. The house staple Spaghetti Marinara, with Italian tomato sauce made of tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, is also to die for with its rich flavor and aroma that makes me salivate even at first whiff.

Yesterday, my group mates and I affirmed to the calling of Bigoli’s Pizza and Pasta Challenge and headed to SM North EDSA after our classes. As we entered the restaurant, we noticed a board that featured the “Hall of Famers” of the said challenge with their photo, number of servings, and duration. For just 249 pesos, one can already qualify for the contest and enjoy unlimited pasta and your choice of cheese overload or pepperoni pizza slices.

At first we were all aiming to be part of the Week’s Hall of Fame, we even starved ourselves and waited for the promo to start at 2:00pm. 

Meanwhile, one member from our group asked us to make a strategy by giving the physiology of the hypothalamus as the satiety center of our brain, that we should gobble up everything we can within 20 minutes before the hypothalamus receives signals from our stomach telling us that we are already full. And so we followed the plan but after less than an hour of pigging out, we started to wish that we could just barf everything and insert a tube to aspirate all the contents in our tummies. With that form, we abandoned all our hopes of surpassing the top placer (who managed to gulp down nine plates of pizza and pasta) and just resigned to our 4 servings, whose portions seemed to increase as we moved to the next.

**The Ultimate Pizza Challenge is available from Monday to Friday from 2:00pm-6:00pm.
