A lighthearted 1980s sex comedy about a pizza delivery boy who stumbles into a side gig as an escort, navigating romantic and marital complications with irreverent humor.

Randy Bodek works as a pizza delivery boy at Señor Pizza to make a few extra bucks. Some customers are special, though: When the order is for a pizza with extra anchovies, it means the female customers are looking for some loving. But, as Randy soon learns, life as a professional gigolo can get pretty complicated.
