“What did the Italian say after he ate an eel pizza?”/“That’s a moray.”

The 1953 song “That’s Amore” has the famous line, “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that’s amore!” The Italian word “amore” means “love.” A “moray” is an eel.

Pizza places should make eel pizza. Advertise as follows: “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s a Moray”
