Cryptic #2

**Hello! You’ve found one of my cryptics from before I figured out how to make cryptics well! Please enjoy the diamonds in the rough, but expect neither elegance nor fairness. It takes a while to learn how to do it right!**

Hey there, cryptic fans!

It’s some guy’s birthday over here at Square Pursuit, and September’s cryptic offering is a throwback to the parties of my childhood. I hope it’s lots of fun and that the pizza you eat while solving it provides an even better cheese-pull than the one pictured above.

The next, unspecified-aged year of my life should bring many more puzzles to make and solve. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into either stack, and I’m so glad you’re all along for the ride.

Take care, enjoy, and see you on Wednesday with a fun themeless!
