Fat Boy's serves up its pizza in either a half slice, a 10 and 16-inch pie, or a "whopping 30-inch pie."

Fat Boy's takes the pizza challenge to the next level with its annual two-foot slice challenge.
New Orleans-based pizza chain Fat Boy's is making its way to the Bay, and the company claims to have the "World’s Biggest Pizza Slices." 

The pizza chain has locations in Louisiana and Mississippi, and now plans to open 10 restaurants across the Tampa Bay region in the next few years, according to a recent press release.

Fat Boy's serves up its pizza in either a half slice, a 10 and 16-inch pie, or a "whopping 30-inch pie." The chain also boast wings, waffle fries, salads, meatballs, daiquiris and a full liquor bar.

It's unclear how a 30-inch pizza equates to the "World’s Biggest Pizza Slices," when Dunedin's Madison Avenue Pizza is currently offering a 32-inch pie. But according to its website, Fat Boy's does offer a two-foot slice challenge, where it appears they custom cut a giant slice from a whole pizza, and guests attempt to consume it in under seven minutes for a chance to win $20 and a shirt.

The ultimate challenge is to defeat competitive eater Joey Chestnut's 39 second record for a cash prize.

As of now the company did not specify where these new locations will end up in Tampa Bay, or when they'll debut. But for now, you can follow Fat Boy's Facebook and Instagram accounts for more updates.
