'During my stuffed-crust summer, I dove for the kitchen phone every time it rang, hoping Jeff was on the other end of the line. 'Wanna order a pizza?' he would ask, which I knew was code for 'Let’s make out.''

It was like a mozzarella stick attached to the edge of the slice. When this innovation was first announced, the New York Times called stuffed-crust pizza a meal “at the razor edge of pizza-dough technology and mozzarella management.” During my stuffed-crust summer, I dove for the kitchen phone every time it rang, hoping Jeff was on the other end of the line. “Wanna order a pizza?” he would ask, which I knew was code for “Let’s make out.”
So much was happening in the silence. In the basement, I would I hold my breath as Jeff inched his hands north of the equator, a strictly forbidden zone. “STOP—” I said, then glanced at the pizza box to make sure we were still matched slice for slice.
