Liberty Hall Pizza in Lambertville is commemorating the opening of a
new 540-square-foot private event space by holding a pizza eating
contest on July 11. The expansion will increase the Neapolitan
pizzeria’s capacity from 60 to approximately 90 seats by mid-July.
The pizza contest, or “panarda,” involves up to 32 participants
eating their way through Liberty Hall’s menu until one diner is left
standing. The cost to enter the Pizza Panarda is $40, and all proceeds
from the event will benefit Fisherman’s Mark Food Pantry. It all takes place on Monday, July 11, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Competitors will be served half pizzas until they surrender and can’t
continue eating. Diners will begin with Margherita pizzas, and
literally eat their way through the restaurant’s entire menu, if they
make it through all 13 pizzas. The last person remaining will win a
pizza party in the new private room for up to 30 guests.
Dubbed “The Back Room,” the exclusive nook will have a large screen
TV and state-of-the-art audio visual system for corporate events, family
gatherings, holiday parties, and overflow seating during Liberty Hall’s
busier nights.
“I thought it would be fitting to mark our expansion with a classic
event that will have our participants expanding their stomachs for a
great cause,” said Liberty Co-Owner Chris Bryan. “We’re really happy to
open our new space to benefit Fisherman’s Mark Food Pantry.”
Liberty Hall Pizza is located inside the Canal Studios Complex at 243 N. Union St. in Lambertville. “Pizza Panarda” contestants can register by calling the restaurant or visiting their website.
Fisherman’s Mark has been part of the Lambertville community for nearly four decades,
providing guidance and support to people in crisis as well as
facilitating innovative, responsive programs and services that promote
stability, health and wellness.
