If you look back at the whole exchange it does actually look like they are talking about ordering lunch at the office. When they ordered they estimated one slice per person because some people might eat none while others might eat more than one. They are trying to figure out a rough head count. Although the wording is confusing, it was confusing to the employees as well. Check their replies. That said, the black and white self destructing reply is odd and may be an inside joke about a different sort of pizza. Presumably this may be the kind of pizza that costs $65k and has to be flown in from Chicago via special channels. In this exchange, though, it looks mostly about figuring out the logistics of lunch. Debunked? Probably but with caveats. It's not really worth reading but the rest of the exchange does provide enough context to at least say there's not much there.
Thanks and boo to whoever downvoted probably without even reading. I initially bought the worst case interpretation on this but then somebody posted the full email chain and it doesn't support the claim that the entire office only had one slice of pizza. There is too much confirmation bias on this board and people don't always fully look into things. This particular email has been posted many times month after month. Look into the complete exchange, though, which is all on Wikileaks, and it is fairly incompatible with the claim that Stratfor was having an underage gang bang at the office that day. Maybe another day but not that one, and this is the sort of claim the fake news non-debunkers use to create strawmen that undermine real research.
