$USDC Binnance Pizza: The Man Who Traded Bitcoin for two Pizzas

In the early days of cryptocurrency, before the world understood its potential, there was a man named Laszlo Hanyecz—an unassuming programmer with a big appetite and an even bigger belief in Bitcoin. It was May 22, 2010, and Laszlo was hungry—not just for pizza, but to prove that Bitcoin could be used in the real world.

“I’ll give 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas,” he posted on a crypto forum. At the time, that Bitcoin was worth around $41. A user from the UK took him up on the offer and ordered him two pizzas from Papa John's. Laszlo got his meal, and the world got its first real-world crypto transaction. The day became known as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

But this is where the story gets a modern twist.

Years later, as the crypto world exploded and exchanges like Binance rose to power, a new pizza joint emerged in the blockchain community. They called it “Binnance Pizza”—a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Laszlo’s legendary meal. Unlike any other pizzeria, Binnance Pizza only accepted crypto, and every pizza came with a QR code to tip the chef in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Dogecoin.

The founder of Binnance Pizza was a mystery man known only by his handle: CryptoChef42.

Each May 22nd, Binnance Pizza hosts a global “BTC for a Slice” event. People from all over the world trade tiny fractions of Bitcoin for artisan pizzas .

And Laszlo? He never regretted the trade.

“That pizza was the most expensive meal I ever had,” he once said in an interview, smiling. “But also the most important.”
