Could you eat a slice of pizza at every one of the 362 pizza joints in Manhattan? Probably not. But for 28-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., resident Colin Hagendorf, it was easy as pie. "I will always eat pizza. There’s nothing better for lunch or dinner," he told The New York Daily News. "I grew up in New York. I eat pizza. That’s what I do."

Hagendorf spent the last two and a half years on the project and writing about it on his Slice Harvester blog. And no, he's still not sick of eating pizza. "I still love eating pizza, but I just got sick of writing about pizza," Hagendorf, a waiter at a Brooklyn diner, told the News. "There is only so much you can say about pizza."

Hagendorf has since received reality show proposals, phone calls from Google and book pitches, according to the News, but he swears this was not his intent. "I have no business acumen," Hagendorf told the paper. "But that’s what is so appealing for most New Yorkers. Nobody is paying me to do this. It is all very guileless and quite clear that I did not start this with the intention of being famous and making money."

Live in New York, or plan to visit? Hagendorf only awarded a perfect score to one pizza place: Pizza Suprema near Penn Station.

I'd like to try every local pizza shop where I live, but I'd definitely have to go out of my way to do so. I am okay with pizza once or perhaps twice a week, but I'd get tired of it every day. It sounds cool to me.

I could do that! Maybe not all in one day, mainly because I have a small stomach, but if you give me two or three days. I could do it.

I like pizza too! And there are so many different ways of preparing it do it's easy to not get bored, and if prepared a certain way it can be very healthy, although I wouldn't call it a vegetable.
