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."]

- 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.

- Cute Girl on F Train Sitting Next to Me, I Got Off at Jay St. - m4w - 27: I was wearing a camel hair coat and a striped cap and reading the Economist (sort of) and looking at your sneakers-- too shy to look up. You got on in Lower Manhattan and I got off at Jay St- we looked at each other when I went to the C.
Want to get pizza?
- Vinnie's Pizzaria - We Smiled and Said Goodbye Saturday - w4m - 29: I was the girl with the bangs and a guy friend eating vegan pizza rolls. You were an adorable Jonathan Silverman-type with brown hair, brown eyes reading a science or electronics (?) magazine at the table across from me. We kept looking back and forth at each other, smiled and we both said goodbye when you walked out the door. I'd love to take you out around town!
- Smiley Pizza - m4w - 40: Sunday afternoon, you with your kids. You sneezed and I said "Bless You" and borrowed your oregano. I couldn't keep my eyes off you. Would love to meet for coffee.

- cute guy with glasses in bedford ave pizza shop - w4m: I saw you Tuesday night, in the pizza place on Bedford. You were really cute and we walked out together, at the same time, but walked in different directions. I thought (?) that maybe we were making eye contact, and I should've just sat down with you! Maybe there will be a next time?
- Hottie at Pizza Place on East Ave - m4m - 36: Hey there you were riding your bike you stoped in the pizza place on east Avenue and then came out I was in my car you are hot. tell me tell me what place you stopped in at so i know its you and what you were wearing if interested

- Yankee Fan at CPK (by bloomies) on Friday Night around 8:15-8:30pm - w4m - 24 (Midtown East): Was at California Pizza Kitchen on friday night sitting at the bar with my mom eatting. You were waiting for your take-out order and said hi to me when my mom went to the bathroom. I know my missed my opportunity to give you my number then but i didnt realize how cute you were. I think you were wearing a red shirt (maybe) and you were watching the yankee game on tv...it was maybe around 8:30ish (it was in the 10th or 11th inning by then). We were taking to you about the flies on tv surrounding the players....Don't know if your single (looked for ring but didnt see one). I know that is is a long shot...but if you are this brunette white guy or know who it could be forward this to him....
- JUSTIN - cute hispanic guy with a birthmark in his right eye - m4m - 23 (Chelsea): You were at the pizza place on the corner of 9th and 30th with some of your friends. I'm that dude from Chicago you briefly talked to. Wasn't sure if you were extra friendly due to all the booze you drank that night, or maybe cuz you were interested...Anyhow....I think you're super cute. Very very sexy man!!!! Drop me a line if interested ;)
- Naomi - m4w: I wish I could say goodbye to you again and again. But I would settle for buying you a slice of pizza.

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!

New York City
- Dean & Vanderbilt 10pm-ish: Woman in red t-shirt with pizza - m4w - 28: When you entered my field of vision I stopped in my tracks.
The way you came around the corner with that pizza balanced so perfectly on your right hand while you didn't simply walk, but traveled with speed, grace, and style was a breathtaking sight. Simultaneously, a sway and strut pushed and pulled on eachother to create liquid strides of ease and determination.
I had spent all day in Manhattan, witness to more beauty, style, and sensuality than can be expected from any average day on the island, and yet 100 yards from my front door was the most beautifully stylized display of sensuality I had felt all day.
I would feel guilty about my blatant glare, but your facial features did not contort to the often ugly shapes that convey fear, disgust, or complaceny. Instead, your eyes glowed. Your lips curled slighty up. Your nostrils flared the slightest bit.
For me, that may be the only moment you play a part in. Without doubt that pizza was shared with the person that had made you feel so light on your feet that you could glide so effortlessly along the Brooklyn sidewalk. That quick moment still had power and dripped with humanity and will stick with me.
- I had a pink rose and was writing a song on a note pad you=curly hair - m4m - 23: me: i had a pink rose. i was writing on my note pad... i bumped into you. you said sorry...
I looked up and said it was fine and looked down. It took me a while to realize how beautiful you were. you went into driggs pizza i was going to follow you but i was kinda high. i can't believe i am posting this. this is fun. hope life is swell.

- Hottie eating pizza - m4w: Yes you! Eating pizza in Wagon Wheels saturday afternoon. You stood at the table next to me and yes I was checking you out big time. I wanted to laugh out loud as your boyfriend was using a knife and fork to eat his pizza. You're going to marry this guy? You can do a lot better than that! Get in touch with me because I can't get you out of my head! [I second that. Life's too short to waste with a man who eats pizza with knife and fork! —The Mgmt.]
- Sat. Night 1:00 am Ocean Beach Ferry - m4w - 30: You were a gorgeous blonde with the cutest pout on your face, wearing a white shirt and jeans. You were holding two slices of pizza that you never ate. [And she's still holdin' 'em, buddy, while she peruses Missed Connections for your ad. —The Mgmt.]
- Mike #7bus in morning to NR from Mt Vern. - w4m: Mike, I met you on the bus this morning on your way to work to renovate a pizza place in Larchmont, we talked about our kids, you also said you were not living with your other half currently. If I may ask, what does that mean exactly? I'd be interested in chatting with you more, and getting to know you better if your open to it. I was wearing an old navy blue t-shirt and denim shorts, i wasn't looking all that great but we seemed to have a nice chat. I hope you see this and would be willing to chat. Where did i tell you i was going on the bus,and what stop did i get off at?
- E 23rd St./ Park Ave. South Pizza. - m4w: This is for the young American/Asian woman sitting at Papou’s Pizza on 7/18/07 1:30pm with her? (Mom). You had the most intriguing eyes. We made eye contact several times. I wanted to say something, but I think I maybe almost twice your age. If you just want to talk and hang out that’s fine. Drop me a line and include what you had for lunch so I know it’s you… [Hi, it's me ;) I had pizza for lunch, silly. Hehe. Let's get 2gether! Email me at pizzagirl@tocatchapredator.com —The One with the Most Intriguing Eyes ;) ]
- My CL Dating Summer - w4m: No, I wasn't saying they're all jerks - just the ones who said the would call, asked her for her # and then dropped out of sight. Women can take rejection, but not when men aren't straight-forward.
As for did I kiss the guy - I wouldn't go out with him after his comment. I have money for a nice meal and wine, and assumed if we went out we would split the check. Instead, it became clear that he thought he could buy some women a nice meal and get over on them. Now, if I like a guy, I can buy him a slice of pizza and still bang him on the first date. He doesn't have to be a laugh riot to get over on me. But he has to be sweet and seem really interested in me.
I do believe there is someone out there for everyone. But with seven million people in NYC alone, they're probably hiding from the crowds. [Yowza! —The Mgmt.]

Ana Maria's Pizza Shop on Bedford - Monday the 2nd - m4w - 26: You came into the pizza shop b/c you were looking all over the neighborhood for ravioli. We chatted for a second at the counter and that was it. If by some crazy chance you're reading this... email me =)
DBA pizza? karaoki? writing? photography? the moon - m4w (East Village): you went for pizza, i paid my tab, i lost you! find me again... were both irish! One of us had Red Hair.
Jen from Hawaii via Hartford looking for a light - m4w: I spoke to you about Shakespeare a few minutes outside a Williamsburg Pizza parlor Thursday night. I was starting to get interested, but you were with that guy. I thought it might not be proper to take an interest in you while you were there with him. I'd like to talk to you more. I hope you come to city some more. Drop me a line if you read this.
LIVE FOREVER - m4w - 29: So, as I drove home a whole 3 blocks, alot of thoughts we're going through my head. Should I turn around and just tell her? How could I just leave? What if she checks it too soon or the wrong section? and, F this later shit, I'd like to hang with her right now. Did I use my hellish headache as another excuse to not pursue something I want to? I should have offered her the drink when I'd thought of it while getting my second slice like I'd wanted too. It would have been slick. I knew it. (no drink with pepperoni?) But she said she promised and I'll trust in that. . Maybe it's because whether we really do or really don't, we could _ _ . Lets
Michael, Ted, and Hal at the Pines on FIRE ISLAND - m4m:
i was carrying out two boxes of pizzas from the pines bistro and pizza place back to my house. you three came by and started asking if i had gotten crushed red peppers for my friend. somehow you mentioned that Ted was the most hung, then Michael, and then Hal. i was volunteered to verify later :), but never found you again at the Sip & Twirl later that night. will somebody please tell these boys that i am ready to check things out. thanks!

Adorable Parsons student I met at Trader Joe's just now - 25 (Union Square): you - tired but beautiful Korean-Vietnamese from Maryland. I loved talking to you and would like to do that again! Let's go out to that pizza place on Spring, have a desert at Rice-to-Riches and see how it goes! What do you say?
Amber, you ate my pizza and walked away! - m4w - 26 (Lower East Side): It was nice you stopped to speak (and share a late nite snack)! Such beautiful eyes you had! Wish we could have had a halfway decent conversation. I had a few drinks and it was late! Maybe we can get together. I feel we had chemistry. I'm sure we will see each other again!

It's been awhile since Slice has waded into the plaintive muck of Craigslist's Missed Connections section. So come with me, my loves, into the swamp of love that spawns "That's Amore." --The Management
Tues night - you gave the pizza guy change for me - m4w: You: cute girl in cute girly jeans. You spared your spare change to save me a pocketful of pennies. Me: tall fella in black jacket. Thanked you but didn't say more. Where: Rigoletto's on Columbus and 70th
Rt 95 South Rest Stop Exit 21 - m4w - 40: Friday, 12/15 around 9:30am...you were getting ready to open the Boston Pizza shop and I could not keep my eyes off of you. We shared a quick glance and smile as you carried the cash drawers. You disappeared before I could catch my breath and say hello. Get in touch if interested in getting to know each other!
You gave me a slice of pizza and.... - w4m - 28 (Midtown): Wish I would have given you my phone number. Met you in the hotel bar you gave me a slice of pizza. If you want to meet again please reply.
CLOWN PARADE????? - m4w - 32:
I was that guy sticking a sword down my throat and I happened to look over and there you were: you were throwing fireballs into the pizza place across from the stop. You had a big red nose (a la "RUDOLPH" -- hahaha LOL) and we caught eyes. If you are reading this, maybe should meet up for a nice hot drink and maybe a laugh or two (HAHAHAHAHA)
Pink Polka-Dot Belt at "Inland" - m4w - 21 (West Village): You went to see "Inland Empire" alone last night, and you asked me what theater it was in. You were wearing high-heels and a trenchcoat, which I found classy. I liked your accent, and it got my heart going. After the movie, my roommate told me to go up and ask you out to dinner but I was too nervous. You walked to the opposite platform (we were on the dowtown D side) holding what looked like pizza. Just seeing you made me all dreamy. But, anyway. I hope I can the second chance on this. Can I take you to dinner?
A month or two ago, leaving W 4 and getting off at Columbus Circle - m4m - 20: I can't believe I'm actually doing this...but my best friend just introduced me to this whole "missed connections" thing. I know it's a long shot, but I'll see what happens anyway. I met you on the train (not sure which one), and it was late at night. You started a conversation with me and you were saying that your friend had just been arrested because he broke a mirror off a cab. You said you were from Maine, and we got on a New England discussion. You work for BMW selling cars I think? Anyway, I thought you were cute, and I just wanted to see if you were out there somewhere. You: sandy brown hair, cute smile, glasses, rosy cheeks. Me: brown hair, brown eyes, thin, eating a slice of pizza.

Looking for Jimmy from Tudor City/Manhasset originally - w4m - 35 (Upper East Side)
I know this is a longshot...but....I met you last night (11/5) at a pizza place on 3rd Avenue near 35th Street. I asked if you had run the marathon, you said no, you were just tired :) I was there w/my sis and my friend, we were going out after our pizza....tell me what I was doing during the marathon, and I'll know it's you. You also said you were originally from Manhasset I believe (or the Port Washington area). Just thought you were so cute and so nice...wish I gave you my number.

NYC pizzeria owners, here's your chance to help out a pizza lover cut off from the New York style—and make some extra scratch:
I am looking for someone, a restaurant owner preferrably that will sell me fresh pizza dough. I would need it shipped to Indianapolis. My Dad, from the Bronx, now living in Florida, is coming to visit and he makes homemade pizza but hasn't had any dough from NYC since we left New Jersey 16 years ago. I would like to surprise him with this as a gift. If anyone could provide this for me I will pay a reasonable price for the dough and shipping. Or, if anyone knows where I could purchase it that would be much appreciated.
This Indianan might want to try one of the New York–based mail-order pizza outfits we posted about last year: Mail-Order Pizza.
Wanted: italian pizza dough [craigslist]

R Train - Tues. - Lower Manhattan - You with NY Post - m4w: you entered at one of the R's first stops in lower manhattan. Me: shaved head, white t-shirt, brown eyes, sitting near window. You: beautiful dark hair, long skirt, brown sandals, green(?) top, red toenail polish, incredible eyes, and the NY Post with silly Mel Gibson on the cover. we glanced at one another a few times, and then a man sat in between us, and began a conversation with you about your heritage. he was eating pizza. i wish i had spoken up first. second chance?
Hot blonde guy getting a late night slice of pizza - m4m - 33: Late Sunday night, or rather at about 2 a.m. Monday morning. You were entering the pizzeria on the West side of Second Avenue between 75th and 76th. as I was leaving. You were a handsome blonde guy with a cool t-shirt and I the dark on with a black hat and a GNR t-shirt. You moved to let me out, I thanked you. Not even sure if there was a connection, but worth placing this ad as a means to find out! Rock on all. [Welcome to the jungle --Ed.]
saw you in nunzio's - m4w: you were eating pizza at the counter in nunzio's on hylan blvd. i kept looking over and you kept looking back and smiled but i just didnt have the nerve to talk to you.you had flowing black hair and very sexy lips..if this was you please get back to me...thank you !
Patsy's south of Union Square - w4m - 24: Saturday 7/30. You sat at the table next to my friend and I. We made eye contact and you smiled. I thought you were cute and your pizza looked better than my pasta, too. It'd be kinda nice to see you again.
Waitress at Francesco Pizzeria - m4w - 21: I stopped in for a slice today around. You're the cute short haired brunnette. All I wanted to say is that you have the most amazing eyes, and as I was walking out brown eyed girl started playing so I decided to post anonymously just to tell you that you have beautiful eyes. That's all I have to say, and the pizza is really tasty.
You $ 2 friends outside the pizza store - m4w - 29: you were sitting outside the pizza store on 33rd street off of 5th avenue. your friend the tall one also sexy as hell but you are breathtaking. we made eye contact as i walked by and wow your soo sexy ... you guys were standing on the corner on 5th for a while i was waiting on the opposite corner enjoying the view :)

From Craigslist:
At work we have this gentleman's agreement. If you show up late for work, you must buy lunch for the entire office. A guy in here showed up late yesterday(and he lives 4 blocks from the office!) and refused to buy lunch. Today, another co-worker showed up late, coming from Westchester, and bought about 12 pizza's. The scumbag who didn't pay yesterday had the f**king nerve to actually eat the pizza today. I hope he gets a stomach virus.
CHEAP PIECE OF GARBAGE WITH NO ETIQUETTE [Craigslist]

girl in the pizza place on 78th - m4w: you were sitting by the door...so sexy. A little stud in your nose, sexy shoes, maybe in your early 20's. I came in and got a slice and couldn't help but have naughty thoughts about you. I figured I'd give this a shot.
More That's Amore [The Slice Archives]
Posted by Adam Kuban, February 9, 2006 at 11:15 AM
It's been a while since Slice has put on the ol' waders and panned through the muck that is Craigslist's Missed Connections. But we're glad we did. We struck gold in this edition of That's Amore. It features legendary pizzerias Di Fara and Lombardi's. XOXO, Ed.
DiFrara Pizza , Friday NIght - m4w - 30 : you were that beautiful lady that order a pie for you and your friend. I was seatting next to you with my sister. wanted to say hi, but did not. wish i did. i guess is too late now. —peace Slice wishes you did, too. Could there be a better meet-cute story than hooking up at Di Fara? Wait, don't answer that.
Lombardi's Pizza Last Night - m4w - 25 :I noticed you at dinner while you were eating next to me and my friend. and then, when you almost knocked over our pizza and flashed a smile in embarrassment, I was too speechless to say a thing...wish i would have gotten your number... No loss here. You're better off without this clutz.
Avoiding Eye Contact - m4w - 24 : You were sitting and eating a slice of pizza and maybe garlic knots. I sat down and ate a slice across from you. Then I got up and got a soda and sat down and drank it. We made eye contact maybe twice. It was hard for me not to stare. I had just gotten up from a nap and so it seemed a little like a dream. I think you wanted to talk to me too. Email to confirm. (this is in or around Famiglia Pizza on 8th St and Broadway) Next! Her breath be all stanky from the garlic knots, yo.
We Spoke in Ben's Pizza Tuesday - m4m : We spoke in Ben's Pizza today Tuesday 2/7/06 around 5PM. You very handsome, wore an orange T-shirt. Me s&p hair, wore a Tan turtle neck shirt. I kept looking at you. When I smiled and you asked if this was Macdougal St. And I said it was. We never got to talk further because your friend came in. I really would like to make a connection with you. Hope you see this and respond. Uh, what is "s&p hair"?
beautiful blonde waitress - Rosa's Pizza- Fresh Pond Rd - m4w - 26 : Tonight I went into Rosa's Pizzeria on Fresh Pond Rd. near Metropolitian Avenue, for the first time in years and I saw the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. The waitress..... She was tall, slim, and had the brightest smile, prittiest eyes, and cutest little voice. If anyone knows her...tell her to chech this out. I'd love to talk to her again. Just a bit shy......I now live in Long Island..a little far for a slice, but she's definately worth the trip!! Maybe you can get her to quote-unquote deliver.
girl at Old Bridge Deli 373 Lexington Ave | At 41st St - 23 : So you only caught your eyes for a second at the cafe but I can't get that glance out of my head. Sure, I'm an attractive guy and catch glances all the time but wow, there was something great about you. I was that dude who was sitting with two friends having pizza. I left with my friends after lunch and walked for about a block before realizing that I really wanted to meet you. I walked back in the deli and I almost walked into you walking down the stairs. But, I didn't quite know what to say or how to say it, so, I continued walking. I went to the restroom and came back having worked up my courage. But by then you had walked out of the store. I looked around and walked all the four blocks looking for a glance of you. Alas, I regret few things but not saying "hi" has got to be one of them. Anyone know this girl? I don't think people ever have second chances but if you know an Asian girl dressed casually in jeans reading the Post who was in midtown and ate at Old Bridge Deli 373 Lexington Ave at 41st St today around 1:10-1:30, let her know that she wowed someone today and to write back. Real specific description there. ... "If you know a white dude in a suit in the Financial District reading the Journal ... "

It's time once again for That's Amore, our roundup of recent pizza-related Missed Connections on Craigslist.
J's Pizza 16th and 7th- Tall Guy, Black Hat, Walking By - m4w - 39: I was walking by the pizza place on the corner of 16th Street and 7th Avenue. I'm 6'4", white, was wearing an olive suede jacket, grey zip cardigan underneath and a black brimmed hat. You more than caught my eye as I walked by and saw you look back, as I did, when turning the corner.
You appeared tall, even sitting down, not to mention gorgeous. You were seated with an older Asian women, and, as tempted as I was to come say hi, I thought better of interrupting your conversation. I was also en route to my apartment, which is under some mild renovation and did not want to miss the workers.
I called the pizza guy downstairs and asked him to talk to you; not by design, but out of necessity. You told him you were married, and I'm not sure if you actually are, as you did turn around to look back, although this may have been because your good looks engendered an ongoing gaze at first sight.
So, if by chance, you cross paths with this, feel free to email me and I'd like to start again, properly.
Lemme get this straight: You called the pizzaman and had him interrogate this poor woman!? Talk about a special order.
Adriannes Pizza last night - m4w: You dark hair, petie, sitting at the bar, I could not stop looking at your face and OMG that Body- just illegal. Thanks!! I was sitting behind you- you looked a couple of times :) —J
John & Tony's Pizzeria, 60th & 1st- 2:45am Saturday nite (11/12) - m4m - 28 : 11/12/05-John & Tony's Pizzeria. Saturday, 2:45am. Ordered some food and sat down at the table behind you while waiting for my take-out. On your way to sit down, we caught each other's eye. You: blonde hair, wearing a dark brown bomber's jacket, jeans. You were with a guy (a friend? your bf?) and you guys seemed close. upon paying for your food, you guys were fumbling with your money, and he was putting money in your jacket pocket. if that was your bf and/or you're not bi/gay, my bad. However, if that's not the case, get back to me if you're interested in grabbing a cold beer and a slice of pizza sometime.
Brooklyn Brewery Friday 11/11 - 29 : My friends and I were building a pyramid out of cups, but didn't get a picture. There were a lot of people who did, though, so if any of you are out there and can email one to me, it would be appreciated. And if you're the jerk who threw the pizza crust, I hope you get ass cancer.
you 7th st and A sat night walking dog and eating a slice - m4w: We both said Hi. I should have said "Oh my GOD you are beautiful"!!!

It's time once again for That's Amore, our roundup of the pizza-related Missed Connections on Craigslist. This edition features a couple of pleas from my 'hood, Park Slope.
Today's Pizza "Party" - m4w: Was it just me or did your curves speak to me while I was eating my pizza? You should come down to the first floor more often. (This is in or around Park Slope Brooklyn)

No? Short brown hair, purposeful stubble and a tan messenger bag. No? Let's see... We both got off at 7th from the second to last car, walked in the same direction past Smiling Pizza and I passed you once before crossing the street at...8th st?
La Rondine Pizza - m4w - 44: I was enjoying my slice when you came in to use the ATM and you flashed me a dazzling smile.You were wearing a black hooded sweater top and you're a very beautiful woman.Would love to hear from you if you see this.
I want Pizza for breakfast... - 22 : MMmm, yes Pizza, no oatmeal with raisins, no yogurt and granola, just a plain slice of PIZZA to remember that I'm still here, that a routine is a self-made action, and that evnthough I can't change everything I CAN toss my bowl of oatmeal over, scramble in my pocket, pull out a buck fifty and just walk out the door... (This is in or around the Slopey Slope)
SHORT HAIRED woman at Two Boots Pizza last night...! - m4w - 34: Was that guy out of his mind, the one who came in screaming about the gate, lol...
Hot Hostess from California Pizza Kitchen - m4w - 29: I came in for a bowl of tortilla soup and what I got was a big steaming bowl of love. She greeted me with the cutest smile and I've been thinking about her since. I think she had red hair. If you have any info. on this heartthrob please contact me, asap.

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 6, 2005 at 10:49 AM
It's time once again for our every-so-often That's Amore feature, in which we scan the Missed Connections section of Craigslist looking for mentions of pizza in the land of the loneyhearted. Here they are ...
missed connection with ALLEN ( like the street) - w4m - 22: I saw you. Turned around. We both waved and smiled big. I waited for you outside the pizza store
and grinned at you, beautiful blond Allen. Then I gave you my email. Horrible idea because my handwriting is horrible. Allen, if its you, find me.
why? - w4m - 24: you, my boy, are one of three distractions i have at the moment. but i ask myself why that is everyday. why? i don't know! i mean, i don't know your name, your age or anything except that you're a pizza boy and you're probably italian. i see you about once a week and... i can see something in your eyes but my eyes say i'm unattainable. that's because i'm not sure whether i want to be that (unattainable) or something else for you... i'm certain that if you were to show more daring, more bravado, and actually ask to hang out, i'd agree...
maybe this is more relevant to the rant/rave section but whatever.
i don't even like guidos! i hate staten island! you're so not my type...
but i'm sure you're a nice guy...
but what else? i'll just see you soon...
23rd & 8th Pizza last Saturday Night 9/24 - m4w - 39: Hi, you were with 2 other girls and a guy. I loved your look and tude. Also you had the hottest jeans on in the city. I was gonna take you in my limo but you jumped in a cab. I know this is a long shot, Eddie
Nana where are you?: I met You and You had the best of smiles. I mean I'd seen You before and You were just gorgeous. That day you were dressed down with an oversized Western Beef sweater. But I could see your skinny arms lost inside that sweater somewhere. You were going to Long Island I don't remember the place...but You were gorgeous and funny and sweet and even smart. You are so cute. You had all types of snacks...You left your id on the train and I have it, your initials are LS but you said Your name was nana. I would love to see You again, to give you your id back and maybe even take You out to eat really good pizza. —John (Johny Lingo)
Attractive guy with great shoes - w4m: This is a ridiculous long shot. Unlike myself, you probably actually work at your office, while I carouse CL for entertainment.
I was drinking beers with a girlfriend last night. We made eye contact a few times and I think you may have spoke to me as I was leaving. Sorry, pizza and my bed were calling my name. Get in touch if you're interested in meeting for a drink.
And here's a bonus coulda-shoulda-woulda item from the w4m section. "Coulda-shoulda-woulda" because the post was for last night, but, whoomp, here 'tis nonetheless:
Buy us a Pizza? - 27: Hey we are three super cute girls (ages 26, 30 and 31) getting together tonight to have pizza and watch a good movie. Do you want to join us and pick up a pizza on the way? Send a picture and let us know what type of pizza you're going to bring us! No Pic, No Response!!!
Posted by Adam Kuban, August 30, 2005 at 2:36 PM
Another week, another roundup of pizza-themed Craigslist Missed Connex. Now with new logo! (Because we're all about the logos lately on Slice.)
Girl with short hair eating by herself at Brick 33 Pizza - m4w: My friend and I were sitting next to you. I was wearing the green t-shirt. I was just wondering if there was a mutual attraction.
RE: re: guy smoking on st. mark's - i asked you for a light. - w4m - 20: you handed me your blue lighter. you had dark hair, jeans, blue shirt, about 5'10" i think. i couldn't tell. you were leaning. you were leaning against the wall outside pizza palace. you were leaning and smiling to yourself. i hoped to see you again tonight as i sat on a stoop near ink city.
Blonde walking out of Pizza 2000 on Friday - m4w - 32: You were walking out of Pizza 2000 with another woman and I was walking in (between 1:45 - 2:15). I was wearing a green shirt - you had some amazing curves!!!!! We both did a double take - hope you find this, hope we meet again!
The Mysterious Kei - m4w - 28 (Ronkonkoma): You - a pretty flirtatious girl from CA with a paper hat. ME - an obnoxious boy reading "The Media Made Me Do It," in the bookstore on 2nd Ave and 10th.
We had coffee together and you mentioned something about a cactus out west. You claimed that every guy you date falls in love with you. But I bet it's you that falls in love first.
Wanna get some pizza and watch the movie "Network" at my place next week?
PIZZA PARTY (with STRIPPERS): Need help organizing a giant Pizza Party (Deep Dish, Sicilian, Covered, etc.) that will be catered by strippers. We're trying to go under the health code radar with this one, so word-of-mouth only. Optimal strippers will have food service background, low self-esteem, and relaxed attitude about second-degree burns. We WILL be checking references so don't waste our time!
Looks like we saved the best for last this time.

It's Friday morning, so how 'bout another edition of That's Amore, our every-now-and-then look into the world of the Craigslist lonely hearts board Missed Connections. Maybe you'll recognize yourself, e-mail the poster, and get a date this weekend. (As if.)
Bedford L Pizza place - w4m: Just wanted to tell you how beautiful you are. Both of you. One of you tanned, beautiful shoulders and a white hat with black pattern (you had your foot nails painted khaki) and your dark skinned girlfriend in a dark green skirt. I wanted to have both of you, just couldn`t decide. I set next to you and enjoyed your presence.
Rockefeller Plaza food court - m4w - 29:
It was about two months or so ago i was sitting with a co-worker on the aisle of the food court (i believe near the 50th st side) and you walked by in a grey business suit & heels. I looked up and you were smiling and i was actually very stunned by you. My friend said you looked back still with a smile but by the time i turned around, you were gone.
You - Long dark waivy hair, dark eyes, light complex, so pretty.
Me - dark hair/eyes may have been wearing a black button up that day. Eating two boots pizza.
If your out there and see this, please dont hesistate to reply....
Aegeans Pizza Girl - m4w - 36: Saw you again at the pizza place. Its been a while since I've seen you around. One of these times, one of us has to say hello to the other.
long beach pizza guy - m4m - 29: you work at the pizz place on long beach boardwalk, you're hot bro.
On the uptown 2 train to Harlem (its a jungle out there...) - m4w: You sat next to me on the uptown 2 train and asked for the time, it was ten minutes to ten. I'm the clutz with scatches on his arm. We almost struck up a conversation (I was too shy... I just had pizza and I was afraid about my breath!). You were wearing jeans, a colorful shirt, and you have a flower tattoo on your inner wrist.
Pizza place at 7 & A "we almost had sex" - m4m - 33: you said that, and asked me if my apartment was clean. I said it was a constant battle and you called me a liar. I didn't realize you wanted to hook up (though announcing to everyone in the pizza place that we almost had sex was pretty forward). I was cleaning my apartment that day. Would love to get together with you. Get in touch.
Ray's Pizza- "My parents are Italian"- extra topping??? - w4m: We met Friday Night at Ray's Pizza (I think) after 2 a. We played a little game of guess where I know you from? Ring a bell? If so, drop me a line, I'd like to see if the attraction was mutual or if it was the wine causing the warm sensation?
Hottie with hot dog shirt at 1984 - m4m - 29: Saw you Friday night at 1984, you were a dark haired guy with a few freinds wearing a ball cap most of the evening, and had a t-shirt with a hot dog on it....saw you on the dance floor, then after at the pizza place....would love to say hey some time
vanderbilt - m4m - 24: We were eyeing each other as we walked down Vanderbilt. You were a gl black guy, I was the indian guy with my laundry. You walked into a pizza place for dinner... wish I could've been dessert.
Posted by Adam Kuban, August 18, 2005 at 2:31 PM
It's been awhile since we've rooted around on the Craigslist Missed Connections postings for pizza content. But, here it is, another installment of what we like to call "That's Amore."
smith st pizza. - m4w: You with your parents, me with a friend eating pizza, you gave me a big smile, I never got an answer.
Lower-back tattoo -m4w - 26 (UES): I saw your tattoo while you were getting pizza. I'm not usually a fan of these, but...Very nice.
Famiglia Pizza? About 6:45 Sunday - m4w: I was walking by just before the rain struck I saw you sitting near the door we made eye contact and I said hi. You pointed as I walked by. I was really in a hurry. I wished I would have sat down with you. Perhaps we can someday? Wondering if there is any chance you will read this?
Pizza on North Ave-across from Iona College - w4m - 25: Jordan, YOu looked great. I wish that you were alone and not with another guy. I think it was your boss? You ordered 2 plain slices of pizza. Hope you see this.
Forest Hills - m4w:
I saw you while in front of my store...you were on a break from Mandee's getting some pizza next door...telling your friend about your promotion. (Congrats)
You are a tall curvy godess...me I am the blue eyed guy with the bald head.
All I wanted to do was tell you how beautiful I think you are...but instead I ended up with a slice I did not feel like eating and regrets...wish I knew your name.
I wont be so shy should you ever cross my path again.
outside pizza palace saturday nite 2am ish - w4m - 25: I wanted to say hello, but i was drunk. maybe our paths will cross again.
Oh, you lonely-heart New Yorkers. You may be love-starved, but your bellies are certainly full.
