Josh vs. Giordano’s: A Love-Hate Pizza Saga
Josh set out to do what some Chicagoans would consider sacred: eat an entire deep-dish pizza from Giordano’s. What started as a cheesy, indulgent experiment quickly turned into a full-blown spiral of emotions, calories, and regret.
The Cheese Pull of Dreams (and the Beginning of the End)
The video kicks off with the legendary cheese pull—an ooey-gooey slice that stretched for days. Josh dove right in, celebrating the rich, savory flavor of Giordano’s deep dish. If you like tomato sauce and mounds of cheese, this was heaven on a plate.
But deep dish isn’t for the faint of heart. Within minutes, the messiness hit, the calories piled up, and so did the second thoughts.
Deep Dish Devotion & Crust Controversy
Josh declared Giordano’s the best deep-dish in Chicago. The cheese was top-tier (shoutout to Wisconsin), the tomato flavor was on point, but the crust? That was the flaw. Still, he powered through. Kind of.
Then the Spiral Hit — Hard
As Josh kept eating, the food high wore off and the food spiral kicked in. He opened up about his struggles with binge eating and how easy it is to fall off track—especially when filming food content. What was supposed to be a cheat meal turned into another chapter in the food vs. feelings saga.
“Food feels like a drug to me. You crave it, you eat it, and then the regret kicks in.”
Josh shared personal stories about past weight struggles, moments of success, and how even now, with everything he knows, the temptation is still real.
Diet Soda Obsession & The Science Excuse
Midway through the cheese marathon, Josh cracked open a zero sugar soda, claiming it made him feel “fuller” and helped during past weight loss journeys. But as he said himself, *”This is for science… not self-sabotage.”
Spoiler: it was probably self-sabotage.
A Moment of Raw Honesty
This video wasn’t supposed to happen. Josh admitted he made the decision to film just to justify the binge. It became a candid look at how easy it is to slip into old habits—even while healing.
Final Thoughts: No More Food Challenges (For Now)
By the end, Josh couldn’t finish the whole pizza. And that’s okay. He ended with a declaration: he’s done doing food challenges for a while. He wants to focus on eating healthier, moving more, and not letting the algorithm dictate his diet.
