Horror Pizza House
a man big mistry to order pizza
A Horror Pizza House
On a cold, foggy evening, Sam, a tired traveler, stumbles upon a peculiar, dimly lit pizza shop called "Pippo's Pizza House." The sign outside reads "Pippo's Pizza House," but the signs are chipped and the neon lights flicker intermittently. Sam hesitates for a moment, looking around the desolate street with no other cars or signs of life.
Famished and too tired to care, Sam opens the door, finding the room warm and nostalgic. The decor is old-fashioned, with faded checkered floors, vintage posters of pizza and pasta on the walls, and a large wood-burning oven crackling in the back. Behind the counter, an old man with a hunched back and wrinkled skin greets him with a toothless grin.
Sam is unsure what to say, but hunger overtakes his instincts. He asks for a large pepperoni pizza, which he takes, but the pizza is wrong. The pepperoni is thin and the cheese shimmers in an unnatural, almost glossy way. The faint smell of decay mixed with something metallic, something human, makes his skin crawl.
The lights flicker again, and the door slams shut with a deafening bang. Sam jumps, heart racing, as he looks around, realizing that the room had changed. The windows are now covered with thick, dark curtains, and the once-familiar exit is nowhere to be seen.
Confused, Sam tries to push the pizza box away, but it doesn't budge. His stomach twisted with nausea as he hears faint whispers coming from the very walls of the room. A voice whispers from the shadows, asking why Sam is here. The doppelganger tells Sam that he has always been hungry and wants more. The room seems to pulse with the sound of his own heartbeat, and Sam cannot move.
The pizza is no longer just a meal; it becomes a ritual, a trap. The pepperoni curled and writhed, as if alive, and the cheese melted into shapes that resembled faces, twisted in agony. A low, mournful scream echoed from within the crust.
With every bite, Sam feels himself fading, his humanity slipping away. The last thing he sees before everything goes black is the old man, standing in the doorway, with his eyes glinting with satisfaction.
The door creakers open, and Sam's body is left behind, lifeless and empty. Pippo's Pizza House has claimed another soul, and time seems to bend and stretch in that cursed place.
Amanda and Jake, two young tourists, find themselves wandering down a deserted street after a long day of hiking. They spot the glowing sign of Pippo's Pizza House and decide to dine there. The place seems ancient and stuck in a time long past, with checkered floors, faded pizza posters, and thick fog outside. Despite the eerie atmosphere, they don't immediately sense anything wrong.
An old man stands at the counter, wearing the same tattered apron. He greets them and asks what they can get for them. Amanda agrees to take a large veggie pizza and drinks, but the old man is unfriendly and unfriendly. He returns with a pizza box that radiates an unsettling warmth and tells them to eat it.
The pizza is unnaturally golden and almost too perfect, with the toppings not looking like vegetables at all. The mushrooms are gray and translucent, the bell peppers twisted into shapes that didn't resemble anything natural, and the cheese shimmers as if it were alive. The whole pizza looks as though it has a heartbeat of its own.
Amanda and Jake try to scream, but the sound of the pizza cracking open as if it had a mouth fills the air. The scent of rot fills the air as the thing inside the box begins to move, writhing and twisting like some monstrous creature trying to escape. The old man whispers again that there is no escape.
Jake tries to scream, but the sound of the pizza and the smell of rot fill the air. The old man tells him that there is no escape. He pulls him into the box, and the room seems to tilt, the walls warping and stretching in unnatural ways. The clocks tick louder and faster, as the ground beneath them starts to tremble. The air thickens, and the temperature plummets.
Just as Amanda thought she would be swallowed whole, the old man speaks again: "You're here now. You're part of the house. Just like Sam."
The next morning, a new sign appeared outside Pippo's Pizza House—Under New Management. The clock on the wall struck midnight, and another pizza delivery man arrived in town.
The morning sun breaks through the fog, casting an eerie light over Pippo's Pizza House. The sign has been painted fresh, making it seem as though the place has been reborn. Inside, the air is thick with an unusual stillness but feels new. The clocks are quiet, and the walls no longer seem to stretch. The room has a strange sense of order, with spotless checkered floors and no unsettling chill.
Behind the counter, a young, clean-shaven man is humming softly to himself, placing a fresh pizza into the oven. There are no signs of the old man or horrors that once lingered there. Everything is too normal and calm. A tired delivery man greets the new customer, a tired delivery man, with a cheerful voice.
The delivery man goes into the back to prepare the pizza, and the old wood-burning oven in the corner is visible. The delivery man thinks he saw something flicker in the shadows, but when he blinked, it was gone. The delivery man turns, ready to leave, but the door is locked from the inside. Behind him, there is a faint, unmistakable sound—the soft, guttural growl of something large, something hungry. The unmistakable whispers from the walls rise up in unison: "Eat. You're so hungry. Eat."
The delivery man feels a cold hand on his shoulder, and he sees the young man standing there, his eyes wide and unblinking. He says, "You're part of the house now," and in that moment, the delivery man understands that the house had claimed another soul. Outside, the fog rolled in thicker, deeper, and another traveler would eventually wander past the pizza house, drawn by the smell of something familiar and tantalizing.
