The Cicis Pizza Challenge is designed for a two-person team, and while entry fees range from $50 to $100, depending on the location of the Cicis store, the basic rules of the challenge still apply. Two people must eat a 28-inch Cicis pizza and two 32-ounce sodas within 60 minutes, but the rules forbid bathroom breaks, standing up, or throwing up.

The prizes range from $300 and free pizza once a month for a year to $500, depending on the location. Once per year, the team that completes the challenge in the shortest time is rewarded with the Cicis grand prize of $2,500.

In 2019, 36 teams in eight cities competed in the Cicis Pizza Challenge, but only six teams completed the challenge. The Chicago team, Team Glutton Force Five, ate their pizza in seven minutes, and 25 seconds, helping them walk away with the fastest time, the winning title, and $2,500, according to Cicis.
