Slice: The Starstruck Edition

Oren Ishii and Mary Jane Watson both like pizza.

Speaking of famous folks and pizza, we decided to do a quick search for celebrity sightings involving pizza. Where better to turn than Gawker, where readers spot stars in settings that are often more familiar than fantastic.

Unfortunately, there were only two real A-listers peeped with pies: Kirsten Dunst (of Spiderman fame) and Lucy Liu (of late in Kill Bill Vol. 1).

Dunst was seen May 9, 2003, eating pizza at Cafe Gigi.

Liu was seen a little more recently, on May 4 of this year, and, perhaps because she's a Queens native, chose a pizzeria more in tune with her New York roots: Arturo's, which boasts a coal oven.

The rest of the swells whose names were linked with the search term "pizza" ran the gamut from Lizzie Grubman (ordering two slices of deep-dish pepperoni from Ray Bari—we knew we didn't like her for a reason) to David Cross (Two Boots at Third Street and Avenue A). Yawn.

Loyal readers: If any of you spot a celeb at a pizzeria, woulda consider tipping us in addition to Gawker?
