Guinness to evaluate Philly pizza memorabilia collection in July

Back in March we told you about Brian "Brain" Dwyer, pizza-culture firebrand behind Fishtown's upcoming Pizza Brain, and his success getting the Guinness Book of World Records interested in evaluating his gigantic cache of pizza-themed memorabilia. Looks like a surveyor from Guinness will be coming to Philadelphia (on Dwyer's dime) on Sunday, July 31 to check out the entire collection, which'll be placed on display at Craft Hustle Art Gallery (2005 Frankford Ave.; formerly Germ Books) from 1 to 4 p.m. Guinness is expected to announce Dwyer's status as an official record holder shortly after the official evaluation, barring some collector in Mogadishu or somewhere swooping in with more 'za stuff than our guy (unlikely). As for Pizza Brain itself, that's still in the works, with no official opening date set just yet.
