Everyone loves pizza... even maggots. And if you think you can polish off a pie pretty fast, check out how quickly these larvae devour their pizza.

The time-lapse video, posted by Science Magazine, compresses two hours of maggot munchies into mere seconds:

Maggots and people appear to have at least one thing in common when it comes to pizza: Not everyone loves the crust. 

Science Magazine said the experiment could “help grub farmers using human food waste to produce larvae-based chicken feed.”

Restaurants that Make Bugs Taste Delicious
Sushi Mazi, Portland, Ore.(01 of05)

Most of the time, when you see a creatively named sushi roll, like Red Spider Roll or Green Dragon Roll, it’s pretty clear that they don’t contain real spiders and dragons. But at the popular Sushi Mazi in Portland, their "real grasshopper sushi" contains just that: rice with a grasshopper on top. "You must have before you die!" the menu implores.

This ode to Korean street food is one of the most raucous restaurants in Oakland. It’s most popular for its Korean fried chicken wings, but deep in the menu lurks a slightly more exotic item: chrysalis soup, a spicy broth with about 100 crunchy fried little silkworm pupae. We can’t even begin to imagine what this must taste like. Photo Credit: Yelp/Heather Y

One of Koreatown’s most popular sports bars, this one also serves up a spicy silkworm cocoon soup. Must be a popular drinking food in Korea! Photo Credit: Mok Maru Jong Sul Jup

Chapulines make an appearance as an off-menu item at this popular Los Angeles taqueria, in a taco that actually sounds pretty delicious: a handmade corn tortilla is topped with melted Jack cheese, a minty Oaxacan herb called hoja santa, a butterflied Santa Barbara spot prawn, avocado, and whole chapulines.

Woods Creek touts itself as an "authentic Appalachian grill," and its menu is loaded with offbeat items like alligator, testicles, snake, and plenty of wild game. And while insects aren’t on the menu, if you ask politely you just might end up with a bowl of fried scorpions, crickets, mealworms, or another insect du jour (the scorpions reportedly taste just like peanuts).
