flancers pizza contest winnerThe grand prize winner of this year’s Flancer’s Incredible Sandwiches and Pizzeria’s 14th annual Pizza-Eating Contest, and retaining his title from last year, was Gus Beisel, of Tempe, who scarfed down two extra-large pizzas in just 12 minutes.

Gus received his trophy, as well as a $500 prize, from Miss Arizona 2013 Jennifer Smestad, of Gilbert, and owner Jeff Flancer. Coming in a very close second place was Mirza Selmic, with only some crusts left. Eleven contestants participated in the charity fund-raising event, with the youngest being 11-year-old Renee Sadler.

“With this past season’s charity events, and the help of our sponsors and customers, Flancer’s has raised $30,000 for our local charities, Warfighter Sports, Sunshine Acres Children’s Home, and Jewish Family and Children’s Services,” said Jeff.

This is the 14th straight year Flancer’s Incredible Sandwiches and Pizzeria restaurants have hosted their Pizza-Eating Contest and other Raising-the-Fun Fund-raisers.

“I want to thank the public, our great customers, my staff and all my sponsors, especially Ben Franklin Plumbing, Shamrock Foods and Dignity Health,” Jeff stated, “for helping us support these very worthwhile charities.”

Flancer’s is located at 1902 N. Higley Road, in Mesa, (480) 396-0077; and at 610 N. Gilbert Road, in Gilbert, (480) 926-9077. For more information, visit www.flancers.com.
