There's a sharp and snappy tone to this irreverent comedy that keeps us laughing even though it's all a bit silly, really.

Even performances, which could have provided spark, are wooden at best, unbelievable at worst.

Pizza will never be the Lou Malnati's deep dish of the independent film world, but its gentle pacing...makes this gem as comforting as mall pizza on a hungry day.
11/01/06
The characters in this movie don't talk like real people; they all talk like overly clever screenwriters.
10/22/06
It's Sparks (television's Complete Savages) and Embry (Can't Hardly Wait) who carry this dual coming-of-age tale with engaging, if often raw, performances.
06/09/06
A bittersweet, persuasively acted comedy whose tone recalls '80s teen films.
02/03/06
Top CriticEmbry and first-time actress Sparks have charming chemistry, but Christopher's slight screenplay wears out its welcome long before the film -- which runs a scant 80 minutes -- is over.
01/20/06
Among slacker comedies, Pizza is never much more than mildly amusing; it isn't as witty as Slacker or as uproarious as Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, but it's a keeper.

At the end of her spontaneous date, she says it's been the best night of her life. It will not be one of yours.
01/20/06
Thin, flavorless and heavily garnished with contrivance, this odd couple comedy serves up little but stale whimsy.
01/19/06
Top CriticForget 30-minute delivery -- this brand of indie quirkiness congealed in the late '90s.
01/17/06
If Pizza were an actual pizza, it would be half-pineapple, half-broccoli. At times, this coming-of-age comedy is quirkily saccharine, at others good-for-you sophistic.
01/12/06
For all its quirky touches, the comedy cleaves to formula in its depiction of how they challenge and change each other.
