Guided by the wisdom of Pizza Joe, a troubled young man tries to win the heart of a waitress trapped in an abusive relationship with her lecherous pizza shop manager. Add a sex-starved delivery boy, his brain-dead sidekick, a homicidal hotdog man and a missing pepperoni and you've got a recipe for disaster! A bawdy, tongue-in-cheek tale served with half-baked characters and an extra helping of crackpot pizza philosophy.
