Can anyone explain why my pizza receipt would have the word uroboros printed on it?

I assume this is some reductive modern spelling, possibly with a meaning change, like esthetician, which word unreasonably enrages me. Is this an endless snake that refers only to pizzas?

ETA:

I am pleased that my friends immediately decided it was some kind of come-on. It was computer-printed, like the rest of the receipt, so it would have had to be someone at the other end who liked the voice of the caller, which was [livejournal.com profile] inlandsea. Other possible targets of herpetological admiration include [livejournal.com profile] stitchinmyside, who paid for the pizza.

I dunno. An ouroboros seems a little onanistic to me.
