Hi - I'm not sure you first slug is correct - it should be a location, not the colour we see on the screen??
I'm also not entirely convinced by you use of CAPS:
# A ladle of sauce is deftly SPREAD CIRCULARLY on the dough.
-- Far as I know CAPS are generally used for sound, and sometimes for impact.
Your 'conductors baton' simile misses the mark for me - but then I guess this depends on how you're visualising it.
A quick one on your character descriptions - Roy is described by his clothes - it leaves his face a little blank in my head - it may be better to go for something that will sum Roy up in our heads.
# Wished we had more time to talked things out. -- should be 'talk'.
Dialogue seems to be okay - quite snappy in places.
I haven't read too far into this - but I'm not sure why we have started in a pizza place - also, the way Roy leaves all seems a little bit odd. I half thought you'd start at the airport, or maybe give an early hint of the g\f problems etc. The actual meeting of the two guys is very 'boof!' - it just happens - there's no leading element and no 'drama' to the scene - it's just 'oh hi Kev' job done.
Does have potential I guess - but needs jazzing-up a little.
