Six Fort Wayne pizza places where you’re 70% likely to see your ex in sweatpants

Nothing says “small city romance” like running into your ex at a pizza joint, wearing their “I Gave Up” sweatpants and an expression that says both “I’ve moved on” and “please pass the ranch.”

Here are six Fort Wayne pizza spots where that exact encounter is practically guaranteed.

1. Papa Geppetto’s Brick Oven
Their motto: “We wood-fire your crust and your emotional baggage.” You’ll see your ex here, sitting in the corner booth, eating breadsticks with their “friend from work” who laughs a little too hard.

2. Tony’s Slice Palace
Has a “Buy One, Cry One Free” special on Tuesdays. Last time I went, I spotted my ex at the salad bar, dumping bacon bits into their purse.

3. The Cheese Lagoon
Known for deep-dish pizza so greasy, it reflects your past mistakes. My ex was here wearing Crocs with socks, which is basically emotional assault.

4. Pizza Boat
A nautical-themed pizzeria where all the tables sway slightly. I saw my ex here last year on a first date. The date got seasick. I pretended not to notice.

5. Mama Luigi’s To-Go Counter
Only seats four, but somehow your ex is always in one of them. Once they “accidentally” ordered the exact same pizza as me. We both agreed to act like it never happened.

6. Slice ‘n’ Sigh
Every slice comes with a side of existential dread. I spotted my ex here during the “All-You-Can-Eat Regret” buffet. We didn’t talk, but we did nod in mutual acknowledgement of life’s cruelty.
