Pizza Boy: He Delivers

'A Pizza Parlour where all sorts of sexy shenanigans goes on among staff & customers. Extra sausage anyone?'

Everyone once in awhile I see a scene, a promotional photo or a DVD cover for a classic porn film, that has me wanting to find out more.  For 1985's Pizza Boy: He Delivers, it was glamour shot on the front the cover.  I instantly thought it looked similar to all the iconic shots of Marilyn Monroe that were used  in her famous calendar.  


The nude body, with skin on red satin is very eye catching, especially when that nude boy is that of porn star Steve Henson.   Henson has over half-a-dozen porn credits on his IMDB list with memorable titles including; Who's Dat Boy, Inch by Inch, View to a Thrill and Like A Horse.

I always found it odd that so many porn flicks in the 70's and 80's contrasted the darker, gritty film inside the box, with a bright, colorful glamour shot on the cover.  They do grab your attention, and I guess maybe  made it 'easier' for people to take the boxes to the counter to rent or buy when the covers were so 'purdy' and looked like the cover of a Playboy or Playgirl magazine and not a porn flick.


Pizza Boy: He Delivers was directed by famous gay porn director William Higgins.  Higgins also produced Box Boy Delights, a similar porn film I featured last year. (HERE:)  Higgins directed dozens of gay porn films over the course of his long career, and produced hundreds more.  This flick starts out in the pizza parlour, but soon follows the boys out on their deliveries.  One of my favorite scenes, especially the set up is included in the clip below.  This particular scene isn't at the beginning, but starts out another encounter about half way through the film.
