Big Pizza - That's Amore by Dean Martin with Lyrics!!!!


The ultimate big pizza is the moon that dean martin sings about. I guess only an italian new yorker would be able to put together such incredible word play involving classic food like big pizza, as a significant part of the description of love. I am not sure how most women respond to the specific line of the moon being like a big pizza. Do they think that is a romantic comparison? I have had some romantic dates while eating a big pizza, but most of the time if I am planning a truly special event I would pick seafood or something really classy.
However if we are talking about love and a big pizza, maybe what he meant is the love a man feels for a big pizza. Really isn't it true that when you walk into a pizzeria, you feel something akin to love. The smell of sauce wafting through the air filled with the aroma of basil, thyme, and rosemary, the smell of fresh mozzerella melting all of its gooey goodness over the face of that moon like piece of heaven. The sight of the bubbling hot big pizza being pulled out of the oven on that wooden paddle inspires anticipation much like that of waiting for your sweetheart to get off the airplane after a long trip. I feel the anxiousness building as they cut the slices and you see all the goodness giving away to the knife surrendering to the ineviability of surrendering to my taste buds. My mouth begins to salivate as if anticipating the first kiss all over again, thinking about the deliciousness of the sausage onion and peppers combining with all the other ingredients of the big pizza to formulate the perfect bite of love over and over again until every last morsel is consumed.
Unfortunately like love not every big pizza is a good experience in fact some of them are truly horrendous. I remember Domino's old style of pizza tasting like a cardboard box smeared with ketchup and drowned in grease. It was truly a disgusting horrendous culinary disappointment.
Like love I have experienced big pizza at times and in ways I little expected. The first time I had a barbeque chicken big pizza, I was sure it was going to be a huge let down, instead it became one of my all time favorites. I remember the first time I had a taco style big pizza. That too was a pleasant surprise, although I wouldn't order it very often, infrequently I have a hankering for taco pizza.
Maybe there are women out there who have a similar response to all the sensory stimiluants of a delicious big pizza and Dean Martin singing about pizza and love causes the same delectable response.
