Love at First Slice

Overview

Dear Pluto finally arrived in Brisbane in 2018 — and for its first speed-dating event of 2019, it's giving people what they love. Pizza. Oh-so-much pizza. If you can't bond over a slice of flat, cooked dough piled high with toppings, then perhaps there's just no hope.

Love at First Slice combines meeting a bunch of folks you might want to spend more time with (up to 20, in fact)i, munching on pizza and drinking negronis, all on the night before the (supposedly) most romantic day of the year. Mark the occasion by indulging in the cheesiness that comes with forced celebrations of love. And by eating cheese on your pizza, obviously.

The pizza — the main attraction alongside the speed-dating, let's be honest — is included in your $20 ticket price, but you'll need your wallet for a few drinks.

Aimed at straight and straight-ish 20–35-year-olds, the event takes over Barbara from 7–10pm on Wednesday, February 13, and tickets are on sale now.
