Winner Winner Sinner Dinner – Christian O’Connell takes listeners out for pizza

After the GOLD104.3 The Christian O’Connell Show had a ball at the Australian Open Tennis Christian was made aware that this year’s men’s champion Jannik Sinner always visits a certain pizza establishment when he’s in Melbourne, La Pizzeria in Beaumaris, to savour their famous Margherita.

But it’s unfair just to sample the cheesy tomato goodness alone right? So Christian and Jack Post (after a private tasting and agreeing it was very, very fantastic) loaded up a bus full of listeners to visit the family-run pizzeria for a Winner Winner Sinner Dinner last night. Throughout the week, listeners had called in to share why they deserved a seat at the table, including a 36th wedding anniversary celebration and a couple who consider themselves top-ping experts in the pizza field.

Christian O’Connell said: “We literally took over this pizza restaurant. They opened up for the night in a big, long family feast table.”

“I mean, the atmosphere was brilliant and there were three generations of Sardinians, including a little three year old boy, the grandson Pierro, this beautiful little boy all working there last night. They didn’t stop topping everyone’s drinks up. More and more pizzas…I haven’t had any carbs for like two and a half weeks. I made up for it last night. I had carbs coming out my eyes and ears!”
