Who doesn't love a good challenge? I'm always up for a good challenge, especially when food is involved. Fortunately, we have access to many incredible restaurants here in Alabama. Some are fine dining establishments, while others are more casual. Some even offer free food. That's right. Free food! Many restaurants located throughout Alabama have food challenges. If you successfully complete the food challenge, your meal is free. Let's take a look at eight of these restaurants below.

1. Pazzo! Big Slice Pizza & Calzone Bakery - Hoover

For $30 (pizza cost), you can take on the Pazzo Big Slice 24″ Solo Pizza Challenge. This food challenge consists of a 24" pizza with half of it containing two toppings, and the other half containing four toppings. If you finish within 24 minutes, you'll win $200 cash. The pizza isn't free and you'll have to pay for it beforehand. However, because you'll win $200 cash, your pizza is technically free. If you finish the challenge within 30 minutes, the pizza is free.
