That's Amore: 'You Gonna Let Me Order the Sausage Special?!'
Because even grease-stained wretches need love, too, 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.
Big Boobs with a Beautiful Face - ordering food at a pizza place - m4w - 49 (La Verne, CA): ... you were in downtown la verne at warehouse pizza last week standing next to two young girls, they might be your daughters??? you were talking on your cell phone, a red blackberry i think???? very big boobs with a very beautiful face and medium length blond hair half way pulled back with a purple sweater on and jeans.... [Wow. That subject line is almost poetry. Bonus: Someone saw fit to reply. —Ed.]
eye contact at grand central - m4m - 27 (grand central): our eyes locked up tonight while i was going down from the stairs and you are going up the stairs in grand central tonight around 8ish.... I was wearing green winter jacket and brown cap. you were on gray one. you are having pizza (maybe) box with your hands... i am about to smile but got chickened out... i was going to the toilet and when im don and followed you, you were gone... [If he's reading this, I'm sure he's terribly impressed by your post-poop attempt at stalking. He'll be contacting you soon. —Ed.]
Pizza (and sushi, etc, etc...) talk on BART - m4w (BART): Without thinking, I commented on your pizza order, not realizing how dorky I might seem for evesdropping. But then you were really sweet and kept talking to me about all our cravings. It was really refreshing to meet someone so friendly and smiley on BART. ¶ I wish we'd had more time to chat. I think I kinda inadvertantly ushered you off the train by pointing out, at the first transfer station, "This is your stop, right?" I wonder if you'd have stayed on the extra two stops, if I hadn't said anything. :-) ¶ I wanted to tell you two things: I ended up breaking down and having pizza last night, too. And, today, I wore a scarf. :-) ¶ I hope we run into each other again, sometime. Nice people rule! [Sounds like the plot of a twee Michael Cera movie. —Ed.]
pizza place - 34 (confusionville): David, you used to serve my Pizza up REAL nice and hot. Where did you go? I know you got a wife. Why flirt with me then? Do you like dudes too? I'm not very cool with cheating, but if you leave your wife, call me. You know who this is. [A moralizing Missed Connections poster. Love it. —Ed. ]
Made marathon on MTV - m4w - 23 (Warren): To the beautiful girl in her bedroom watching the Made marathon and various other shows due to being sick with mono, I am the guy who's been texting you and calling all evening. If your family ever thinks that you are not contagious, perhaps we can get together and eat some pizza in Berkley, cuddle while watching some tv on dvd (unless you are sick of staring at a screen), and look at christmas lights. ["I am the guy who's been texting and calling you all evening." ... And now I'm the guy who's found a third way of stalking you, courtesy of Craigslist. —Ed.]
