I quit my job here (I'm a receptionist so very visible) and got a job doing the exact same thing at the company across the hall? I'd literally be facing my old co-workers! They look so much happier over there and get pizza all the time.

Do what's best for YOU.
Who cares if someone is offended that you left? It's not like you're a slave, or anything.

You have to do what's best for you and your personal well being. If you think that the other company is a better fit for you then go for it. The close quarters may be uncomfortable for a time but if you put the effort into maintaining the friendships and relationships that you have built in your current place of work, then it should all be OK. If you do get the job across the hall maybe you could consider doing a group lunch thing once a week with your old and new co-workers.

You ultimately need to do what is best for you. Take into account your current relationship with the people you work with now. If it is more money you are seeking, then perhaps you should ask for a raise. But if you think you would be happier across the hall (who doesn't like pizza) and wouldn't burn any bridges by doing so, then by all means go get that other job.

You are likely to face a few cold stares or sense some tension, because the people you're working with now will think, "What, we're not good enough for her?" So the answer is yes, but you have to decide if the possibility of working in a happier environment (which is much healthier for you) outweighs possible negativity from across the hall. Only you can decide if it's worth it. But it makes a huge difference working in a positive environment so it may well be worth it. Good luck!

Do whatever makes you happy. If more money, better benefits, and a better company are the reasons you are leaving then you have a plausible reason to go across the hall.

The grass always LOOKS greener on the other side! Who knows, maybe they get pizza all the time to make up for lousy pay or benefits.
How could you be sure you would get hired anyway?

All that matter is that YOUR happiness. If your miserable in your existing job, take the new job. You can still wave and say hi, even with a slice of pizza in your hand.

I don't think it would be a problem unless you had some problems considering with your old co-workers. They'll probably understand changing jobs was best suited for you.

Do it! And make sure you rip a loud one as you walk out thier door!
Or actually, you could make everyone over there think you are an employee for the free pizza.
Everybody wins!

The pizza settles the matter. Move, and start living!
Good luck!

Obviously there is a reason you quit... Grass is always greener.. If you were so happy there why'd you quit in the first place? There was a reason remember that.. The grass is not greener at your last job, you were there remember
