Champion Pizza In New York Makes A Monstrous 40-Pound Pizza Burger. But Wait, There's More

Texas may get the catchphrase, but here in New York, we’re no strangers to all things… extra.

Call us superlative, but if having the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, the largest metro population, the highest annual snowfall, the most Godzilla movies, etc. isn’t proof enough, then our food definitely is. After all, we can sling a pretty stellar slice here in NY, but the real rite of passage is folding an outrageously huge, cheesy triangle of piping hot Italian goodness before taking that first bite, yes? (Side note: folding pizza is an Italian tradition. We’re being authentic!)

But for all of our claims to fame when it comes to food, we also know that our state is overflowing with incredible restaurants serving up every cuisine imaginable, at every hour, and for every craving. And sometimes, that makes it hard to choose. Burgers? Pizza? An epic buffet of massive proportions?

We say, don’t choose. Put on that trademark New York pride and confidence (and maybe some stretchy pants) and have it your way. Get all the things. Go big or go home. Fortunately, you can get your pizza and burger fix all in one motherload of hefty, gooey, all-you-can-eat awesomeness at Champion Pizza in NYC, home of the whopping 40-pound pizza burger. The only question is: are you ready?

Despite its tiny location, Champion Pizza has become a New York City icon.

What started as one humble pizzeria in the Lower East Side has quickly grown into several locations around the city, each offering the perfect mix of urban appeal, awesome food, and friendly service.

But what Champion Pizza lacks in square footage, they more than make up for with bold pizza pizzazz.

And then there's this: a monstrous, 40-pound pizza burger.

This gargantuan meal was originally created to help raise money for hurricane relief, and comes with a hefty price tag.

Aside from sheer girth, the first layer of Champion's table-breaking pizza burger seems like a traditional pie.

It takes multiple people to heft the final product into the pizza oven.

Hot and fresh out of the over, the final result is nothing short of intense.

But if monstrous helpings of beefy pizza goodness aren't what you're craving, don't worry. Champion Pizza doesn't stop there. Sometimes you'll find a gargantuan 12-layer mac and cheese pizza instead!

Of course, you'll also find traditional pies here as well, like the fresh Margherita, Tuscany Chicken, and American Pepperoni. Calzones, garlic knots, and more are also on the menu!

Whether going all-out with the pizza burger, or sticking with the classics, whatever you choose you'll be sure to get some rad 'za! Complete with our trademark giant, foldable slices, of course.

There’s a lot to love about NYC, and it just got supersized! While SoHo is the place to find many of Champion’s behemoth, philanthropic feats of pizza perfection, the growing pizza shop also has multiple locations to choose from, stretching from SoHo to 5th Avenue and beyond. Now, who’s up for a challenge?
