We tried one of Liverpool's toughest food challenges and this is how we got on

Italian restaurant Amalia offers one of the biggest and cheesiest food challenges in the city centre.

The award winning restaurant offers a calzone challenge that's not for the faint hearted - a huge folded pizza weighing 5lbs that includes 2kg of filling.

To win, participants must eat the carb-heavy dish in under one hour.

Winners get the pizza for free, have their photo put up on the Wall of Fame and also go home with an Amalia t-shirt that highlights the win.

Located on Campbell Square, the restaurant has had its fair share of food enthusiasts try to complete the feast in the alloted time - even including professional competitive eaters and celebrities.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, we decided to give it a try to see how we measured up.

It's fair to see we didn't actually measure up at all, but gave it a good go.
