See Episode GuidePizza Pro Playoffs
Four professional pizza makers rise to the occasion in three pizza-themed Grocery Games that determine who gets to take home all the dough. Guy Fieri challenges the chefs to shop for the ingredients in their signature pizza using only a mini pizza box. Then, they must deliver personal pizzas without any of the conventional ingredients -- not even pizza dough! Finally, Guy's Pizza Wheel forces the remaining chefs to make loaded pizza using unconventional cheeses and wacky toppings. The pie professional that comes out on top will get to roll through Flavortown Market on a $20,000 shopping spree.
All Budget Wheel Games
Before each game, Guy Fieri spins a budget wheel that determines how much the chefs get when purchasing groceries for a specific dish. Then he spins a second wheel that further restricts their options, from a crazy ingredient they must use to a color of food they must feature or the number of store aisles they can shop. The chef who best stretches their money and culinary skills gets to shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
Guilty Pleasure Wheels
Guy Fieri invites four chefs to Flavortown Market to compete in two rounds of the guiltiest GGG games ever. Guy kicks things off with three guilty-pleasure wheels that will determine the ooey gooey details of the chefs' first dish. Then, the surviving chefs are sent for another spin as Guy gets even more indulgent with his twisted games and uses five guilty-pleasure wheels to determine the second dish. The winning chef will earn the guilty pleasure of shopping the market for up to $20,000!
Pizza Play-Offs
Four pie-pros compete in two plus-sized rounds of mouth-watering pizzas. First, Guy Fieri challenges the chefs to make not one, but two pizzas using only what they can fit into an empty pizza box. Then, he doubles down again by asking them to make a sweet pizza and a savory one, both featuring a very special ingredient. The chef who has the best slice will go on to shop for a chance at $20,000.
America's Next Chefs
Guy Fieri puts four up-and-coming chefs to the ultimate Flavortown test to crown America's Next Chef. First, Guy has the chefs flip the ingredients from an old-fashioned Waldorf salad into a modern dish. Then, to help these rising chefs reach the pinnacle of success, the towering Food Pyramid determines the details of their best international dinner. In the end, one young gun will get to shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.

Pizza Masters
It's sur-pie-val of the fittest when four dough throwers compete in a pizza playoff. First, the chefs must cook decadent pizzas featuring the high-priced topping and low-priced cheese chosen by Guy Fieri's Pizza Wheel. Next, they must grab all the ingredients to make a guilty pleasure pizza with their bare hands. Then, the final two are forced to make a pie that's "out of the pizza box" because pizza dough is suddenly out of stock! In the end, only one pizza pro gets the dough -- up to $20,000!
Pizza Masters
Guy Fieri invites all-star pizza maestro Chef Christian Petroni to Flavortown to help officiate a throwdown between three pizza-making pros. After making a special delivery of whammy pizza ingredients, Guy and Christian put in an order for the competitors' signature pizzas. Then, Guy brings out the Pizza Wheels of Doom to determine the type of pizza the chefs have to make, and the one with the highest-scoring pies will get the chance to win some serious dough!
Ultimate Chicken Challenge
There's no cluckin' around when four chefs come to Flavortown to compete in three chicken-themed rounds to prove their poultry prowess. First, Guy challenges the chefs with making a fried chicken combo' on a $17 budget. Then Guy gives the chefs a list of ingredients they must feature in their international chicken dish. Finally, the chefs face Guy's triangle of terror that will determine the details of their Winner Winner Chicken Dinner challenge. In the end, only one chef will fly the coop with a shopping spree worth up to $20,000!

Ultimate Beef Battle
Four meat-loving chefs step into Flavortown to compete in three beef-inspired rounds. First, Guy Fieri asks them to shop for, prepare and plate their best beef burger, and then he gives them scratch-off budget cards with the amount they can spend on their next beef dish. Finally, the remaining chefs roll dice to determine their dinner details. In the end, only one chef will put the others out to pasture and earn a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
Big Cheese
Three cheese pros return to Flavortown to test their talents against some of GGG's cheesiest chefs. Guy Fieri puts the competitors through two rounds of deliciously cheesy combat, and the chef left standing will face off against Flavortown's Cheese Champ, Chef Eric Greenspan, for a shot at $20,000.
Grocery Rush
Four chefs are in for a rush when Guy Fieri invites them to compete against the clock ... all night long! First, they're pitted against each other, and their big ideas, when Guy has them shop for their signature seafood dinner ingredients in teeny-tiny baskets. Then, Guy cranks things up with a Flavortown version of musical chairs to land their must-use ingredient for a spicy takeout dish. In the end, one chef will shop the aisles for up to $20,000.
X-Treme ABC Games
Guy Fieri challenges four chefs to his Flavortown favorite ABC game in a way they've never seen. Guy is looking for top-tier cooking under extreme conditions, and these competitors must deliver if they want to cash in that $20,000 shopping spree. With a truly unpredictable ending, this battle of literary wit and culinary creativity is one for the ages.
Kitchen Heroes
Charity is important at Flavortown Market, where most of the unused food is donated to local food shelters after each competition. With that in mind, Guy Fieri decides to showcase chefs who are giving back to their own communities every day -- and enjoy a little competition, too. He challenges the chefs to flip a dessert into a high-end dinner, and then they have to create customer favorites with crazy ingredients. The kitchen hero who wins the final round gets to shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
Guy's Guys
Four chefs from four of Guy Fieri's own restaurants face off in two rounds of culinary combat. Guy kicks things off by challenging his guys to make their best burger without any key ingredients. Then he gives them the freedom to make their own chef's creation, but he forces them to shop for their ingredients using teeny-tiny little bags. When the dust settles, one chef will be deemed Guy's Best Guy and shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
Winners' Whammy Auction
Guy Fieri welcomes four previous winners back to Flavortown Market for a non-stop super battle. He gives them each $100 to make a complete steakhouse feast in 60 minutes, but first, they have to participate in a Flavortown whammy auction. Chefs must spend a minimum of $40 on a whammy ingredient they don't really want to avoid getting stuck with a worse item. Whatever they end up with must be used in both their appetizer and entrée. The chef who serves up the best feast will get to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.
All ABC Games
Guy Fieri's ABC games aren't as easy as 1, 2, 3! The chefs have to prove their skills in three rounds as they make comfort classics and dinners with seafood and fried ingredients. Only one chef will come out on top and win a chance at a $20,000 shopping spree.
GGG Iron Chef Challenge
Guy Fieri brings three GGG winners back to compete against each other for a chance to go up against GGG's most feared competitor and judge, Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli. First, Guy picks a letter at random that each ingredient in their first dish must start with. Then, the chefs are tasked with making an international classic without shopping in some key aisles. The lone chef left standing wins an automatic $10,000 and gets to face Iron Chef Guarnaschelli for another $10,000.
