This was a good laugh. Sci-fi with some dark humour at the end, can't really find any faults so well done. Cool title as well.

This is fun. Well written, with the balance of description and dialogue just right.

You could consider carrying this forward one extra step.

Perhaps they are confused at first.  Is the "bubbling, steaming pile of goo" actually the pizza, or...something else?

You can make this darker still if you've got the stomach for it.

You've got quite the imagination, Gary. Very creative. I really like this.

You're writing is much better here than the last script of yours that I read. Still some grammar and punctuation issues, but nothing major. A missing period on page 3 stood out to me.

Short, sweet, and surprisingly dark. My kind of script. Good stuff, Dude.

Hi, Gary, this was an entertaining little short and I think it could actually be made on a pretty small budget.

It does need another edit but what you've got works well.
