00:00For so much of this movie, there's such a great plot line with pizza.

00:03Pizza culture on the East Coast is very intense.

00:07How much were you all debating pizza choices or craving pizza on set?

00:12Well, it was catastrophic for me because I'm gluten-free and I'm dairy-free,

00:21Yeah, so unfortunately, it was very hard for me to get in on the pizza craze.

00:27We'd sometimes have pizza trucks come through and you smell the pizza.

00:32It smells so inviting, but if I ate a single piece of it, my workday would be over.

00:37Rough.

00:38I mean, I remember we were talking about what that pizza should be.

00:43Should it be cheese?

00:44Should it be some veggie pizza?
