The fastest time a person has ever eaten a pizza is 23.62 seconds.

The record belongs to Kelvin Medina from the Philippines.

The achievement was set on April 12, 2015 in Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines, when Calvin managed to cut through a 12-inch (about 30 cm) pizza using a knife and fork.

Until then, the record holder was a Dubai resident named Anup Sama Varma.

He was able to eat an 11-inch (about 28 cm) dish in 64 seconds.

Interestingly, after his success with pizza, Medina tried his hand at something else.

So, the man competed with his fellow countryman Ricardo Francisco for the title of “eater” of the largest number of hamburgers in one minute.

This time, the victory went to Ricardo, who devoured five burgers in 60 seconds.

According to the rules of the Guinness Book of World Records for the burger eating contest, a competitor can only eat one burger at a time, using only one hand. They are allowed to add only one condiment to their burger and hold a glass of water in their other hand, but they are not allowed to dip their burger in water.
