I've been known to dismiss a lot of stuff here on Voat PG... the Voodoo Donut connection (up until George Webb mentioned this as a code phrase for whistle-blowers), loose connections to the FBI symbols, hints found in spray paint around DC, etc... however, this email thread is very difficult to explain away in the context of actual pizza. I'd consider it hardly debunked. "We only have one slice and need to know how thin to slice it." That's the key phrase IMHO. Like a previous comment stated, there is no surrounding context that points to this being humorous in any way.
That seems like it could be a bit of a reach... too dismissive given the pizza connotation IMO. I could certainly be wrong and the whole thing could be a joke. But that seems like quite an elaborate joke involving some very important people. Pizza, Black & White mention, asking if this pizza "offer" is still "on the table" for those who can't make the meeting...
Sure, there are elements of humor within - I misspoke earlier. But, they could be discussing something serious and simply making fun of it (and not just pizza). Or it could be nothing. In any event, ignoring it entirely based on the assumption that it is 100% a joke would seem silly. There are enough dots in here to at least consider it as an example.

This is insane. Ever single email in that thread is an obvious joke. Do you really think the email will combust in 30 seconds?

Yeah, that's true. That was obviously a joke within the thread.

Every bit of the thread is a joke. There's not one straight bit
