That's Amore: Love, Lust, and Pizza on Craigslist

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 4, 2007 at 1:15 PM

In which Slice wades waist-deep into the plaintive muck of Craigslist's Missed Connections in search of pizza-related longing. So come with me, my love, to the swamp of love that spawns That's Amore. —The Mgmt.

You sitting there with a brown paper bag ... perhaps containing a slice of pizza? ... I reached within my gig bag for a piece of paper upon which I wanted to sketch song lyrics about who I thought you might be. —G train beauty - m4w - 47

• Melissa A - m4w - 31: Hey I've been thinking about you since you came into my job with your mom.I haven't seen you in years lets catch up. Your favorite pizza guy, Dennis


• Off the train to Ray's Pizza - m4m - 36 (Lower East Side): we eyed each other on the platform then you followed me out but didn't hang around. Me--Grey suit you in blue pullover and jeans. You went upstairs and to Rays pizza where I hung around but you just booked on. Wanna hook up sometime. Hit me back.


• guy at pizza place on 112th and amsterdam - m4m - 21 (Upper West Side): Really wanted to say hi but was way too shy... Think u were a Columbia student. U were wearing a white/grey shirt with like a messenger bag. Tell me what color shirt I was wearin.


• * Robin * - m4w - 26 (Union Square): We met at the bar on 21st, you are the beautiful sicilian social worker from Indiana. You joined my friends and I for some pizza and then we split apart. I looked for you at the bar on 105 eldridge but i dont think you made it. I enjoyed the short time we spent together. Hoping to see you again and continue our conversation...perhaps over a glass of red wine


• We talked at Ben's pizza Friday night - m4w - 27 (Greenwich Village): You were very polite while I bitched about work. It was fun talking to you but I had to run. Let's hang out sometime and I promise I won't bring up work again...


• WHY CAN'T CELL PHONES WORK IN THE SUBWAY!?!?!? (Harlem / Morningside): ...and to think that right now I could have been with you, eating pizza and watching a movie, sipping ravens' wood while playing backgammon, embracing you, lying naked on your bed, kissing you, caressing your soft skin, and giving you all my affection and love. Instead, I find myself in my apartment in brooklyn, so far away from you, no dinner and a movie, no wine or games, no hugs, no snuggling, no kisses, no you. To think that if only cell phones worked in the subway, I wouldn't be alone in my boxers typing this shit on my computer at 3 o'clock in the morning... Maybe I should be posting this under the "rants and raves" section? God, how I long to be with you, my sweet sugar muff!
