In which Slice wades waist-deep into the plaintive muck of Craigslist's Missed Connections in search of pizza-related longing. Such is the swamp of love that spawns That's Amore. —The Mgmt.

• SATURDAY NIGHT AT 86 TH ST, GOT PIZZA, ASKED U FOR A LIGHTER 4 - m4w - 30: Saturday night. I asked u for a lighter, but I didnt have the guts to tolk to u, I think u r very sophisticated lady, hoped i had the courage to tolk to u. hope u've enjoyed ur pizza. [Please take the time to consider the ridiculousness of a sentence that reads "u r very sophisticated lady."]
• hottie in the pizza place crossbay - w4m - 23: i used to see you all the time on sundays working at the pizza place on crossbay by the carwash, you drive a bmw and have the most amazing eyes, if your reading this im coming in again sunday i hope too see u there and u ask me out
• Bearded man in Enid's - w4m - 24: I saw you standing around with a group of guys at Enid's and was too nervous to say anything. You had at least a couple flannels on AND a hooded sweatshirt. I was dancing with one of my friends and we kept commenting on how much we liked your beard. I'd love to get together sometime. Maybe grab some pizza or a ham and cheese? p.s. I think I could see your tip through your jeans.

• Pretty Brunette going up the J Train at Marcy Avenue - m4w - 24: I saw you going up the J Train at Marcy going further into Brooklyn. You were wearing a dark coat (brown, maybe purple) carrying a beacon's closet bag. I'm the Asian dude, doing double, triple takes at the girl that made eye contact with me. Funny thing is you also turned your head a couple of times going up the subway, which you shouldn't because you might miss your step. I wanted to go up to the platform to talk to you, but my buddy and I got some Sabrina's (great pizza) and we had to meet some friends. So maybe you'll read this and we could go on a date or something. But if not then i'm confidant ill run into you again somehow.
• Cuite Pie Black Girl in Garden City Pizza today 1pm - m4w - 31: Wow, I only had eyes for you, the cue black girl nice long hair, Dark blue Jeans, and Black jacket, eating some salad, and a garlic roll, we looked at each other, and I wanted to talk to you but innapporpriate while you were eating and all, you had it wrapped to go, I've never seen you here before, I'd love to meet, talk, and see you here again. Hope you see this, email me!
• beautiful redhead at mike's 24&2 this afternoon - m4w - 26: hi!! i met u today at mike's pizza. we exchanged a few glances and a few smiles and we even said hello and goodbye to each other. for some strange reason i didnt take it further, i really would love to get to know u a lil better. after u left i even walked outside to see if u were still hanging around. u made a right towards 23rd street. but when i looked outside u were actually coming back my way and passed the pizza place! a perfect chance to perhaps talk more with u, maybe even ask u your name... but no, i just watched u walk by like an idiot... then after i got my food i walked out and i saw u a third time on the other side of 24th street, walking west though. i had so many chances and i blew it... o well, ill never see u again, and u will never read this. thats wat i get for not taking it further, o well. if u do read this and it is u... tell me wat u ordered from there so i know its u, hopefully u get back to me. id love to take u out sometime!!!
• eyes - m4m - 32: ...passed you on 30th ave between 29th&30th streets. in front of a chinese and pizza place. across from socrates park. i dunno. thought it was something. all we did was make eye contact. if you're there, what was i carrying?
• Pizza from a goddess - m4w - 24: I came to pick up a pizza pie, but I lost my breath instead. Black hair, blue eyes, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. All I know is, I'll be eating a lot of pizza in the near future. I know there's a good chance you won't see this, but even the slightest possibility that I would hear back from you, is worth a chance. [Don't eat too much pizza, dude; chicks don't dig fat guys.]
• Pizza Hut "Broadway" 1995 - w4m (Downtown): Ok here goes the I am sure this is a waste of my time, but I will feel better by doing it anyway. I am hoping to find the nice guy who was the manager at the small Pizza Hut downtown Manhattan on broadway...not sure of your nationality, but not american. Me: african american female with a young son at the time. I was new to the area lived on the military base on the small island... you were so kind to me...always greeted me with a smile and nice conversation when the place was not too busy... If by any chance I can talk to you again that would just make my day....
• Italian Village Pizzeria - 80th and 1st - w4m (Upper East Side): It was around 11:30 on Friday night. We were the only people at the counter. You were talking to the guy behind the counter about what life would be like without a woman in it. You asked if it was the same feeling about life without a man. I should have stayed to talk.
