A Connecticut man named Kenny Wildes loves pizza more than anything else in the world and has been eating at least a slice a day for the last six years. This pizza-loving guy has no plans to slow down and has even made a career change related to his passion for pizza. It all started with a dare from a colleague while working for a company that looks after heating and cooling systems. His colleague challenged him to eat pizza every day for a week, which he easily accomplished. The challenge was extended to a month, and Kenny felt he could go even longer.
Kenny, whose father once owned a pizzeria in Connecticut, has not skipped a day since the challenge started. Even during the holidays when local pizzerias are closed, he will drive to the casinos near his home to get his daily slice. Despite his daily pizza intake, he manages to stay in great shape. Kenny set up an Instagram account to document his pizza-eating journey, which helped him connect with a pizza box company that offered him a job as a salesman. This job allows him to travel and try pizzas from all over the country, including his favorite pizza style from New Haven.
Throughout his pizza journey, Kenny has tried unique pizza flavors like peanut butter and bacon, beefaroni, and caviar pies. However, his Connecticut roots show as he believes pineapple does not belong on pizza. His daily go-to pizzas include deep-pan pepperoni or a plain margherita pie. While his wife is very supportive of his pizza habit, Kenny tries to have his daily pizza fix during lunch hours so he can still enjoy a normal dinner with his family. However, he admits he always has room for leftover slices after dinner.
Kenny’s former colleague who issued the initial challenge is impressed that he has kept up his pizza-eating streak all these years. Despite some people finding it hard to understand why he eats pizza every day, Kenny’s love for pizza is simple yet unwavering. As long as he remains excited about pizza, Kenny plans to continue his streak and enjoy his delicious pizza journey, one bite at a time. His passion for pizza has not only led to an interesting career change but has also allowed him to travel and experience various pizza styles from around the country.
