Half a loaf may be better than none, but kitschy expressions aside, Florien and Florian would much rather have the whole metaphorical loaf. (In this case, the Pizza.) Thus, they buy a space heater. Because the universe is, on most scales, basically entirely empty space, the universe rapidly heats up more and more, converting everything into ever hotter and brighter plasma, which in turn becomes a quark-gluon plasma. Everything, that is, aside from the Pizza and the mysteriously indestructible space heater. (And the Florie/ans who are busy exploiting the invulnerability granted to the capturer.) As a result of this situation, the universe becomes much like the early universe, except it's not expanding rapidly at remotely the rate it did during cosmic inflation. The space heater breaks at about this time because it was a terrible cheap sort which breaks after about twenty minutes of use, and the Florie/ans use the newly uninhabited universe as an opportunity to take the Pizza (both halves re-fused together under the intense heat) without competition.
Florien and Florian take the time to wait about a billion years for the universe to become livable again, and hide out on a rocky planet with an appropriately oxygenated atmosphere before any form of life has a chance to evolve or come into being through other means to be able to take the Pizza. Surely it is inaccessible to all others now?
