Pointer's has been slinging serviceable pizzas -- as well as deli sandwiches, wings and Italian staples like spaghetti and lasagna -- for well over a decade. Crusts come in St. Louis-style thin, regular or thick. Toppings run the typical gamut (sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, anchovies) with a few curios (turkey, crab meat, shrimp, subbing out tomato sauce for ranch dressing or Alfredo sauce) thrown in. And then there's the Pointersaurus contest: Two customers get one hour to devour a ten-pound, two-topping, twenty-eight-inch, $45 pie. (Winners get $500; losers get agita.) If you'd rather share such a hefty bounty, keep in mind that Pointer's also proudly makes the "World's Largest Delivered Pizza," an eight-pounder ready to feed up to twenty adults.

(There's a Pointersaurus box mounted on the wall near the entrance; it's about the size of a coffee table.) 3) You can call Pointer's and get a pizza until two in the morning. We're talking good, old-school pizza, with a hand-tossed crust neither too thick nor too thin.... More »
Two people. One hour. A 28-inch pizza that weighs twelve pounds. Two meat toppings or four vegetable toppings. No leaving the room. Welcome to the Pointersaurus Challenge, staged by Pointers Pizza in Richmond Heights. If you and your podna can put away this gargantuan pizza, you win 250 bucks each (plus the $45 you paid for the pizza). In the decade-plus that Pointers has posed the challenge, more than 600 teams have tried. Nine succeeded. If you think you might be the tenth, say goodbye to... More »
