Pizza Calling: The Clash Land on Punk Pizza Boxes

Some months ago the guys behind the bars Bowery Electric and Niagara took over the hole-in-the wall Pizza Shop on Avenue A and 7th Street (right by Niagara). They renovated it to give it an old school pizza parlor vibe, started showing kung fu and surf movies in the back, and brought in chef Kevin Cole (Two Boots, Three of Cups) to oversee pie production. Now they’re kicking it up a notch with limited edition, rock ‘n’ roll pizza boxes; the first set of 1,500 features a photo of The Clash given to them by photographer Bob Gruen. Up next: The Ramones, of course.

Sal's reopened just a block away across the street

On A between 6th and 5th St.

The pies are just as good though the price is a bit more

Now we know why The Clash were "so booored with the U. S. A."

Seeing as this Saturday will mark the 15th anniversary of his untimely passing, I hope this establishment will have a G.G. Allin pizza box to mark the occasion.

Will the box be covered in feces?

smh

That place used to be Sal's. It had awesome pizza that was dirt cheap.

What happened to Sal's? Did they sell up and close shop?

What? They spelled it correctly. The name of the bar is Niagra.
No, it isn't.
JMH--are you from OHIO?
No, I'm not, nor am I sure what that has to do with anything.

I thought they were trying to tie the pizza shop in with the Joe Strummer mural on the Niagra Bar's wall. *shrug*

Still, it's cheezy as all hell - no pun intended har har.

That place took over Sal's which had to move down the street to a smaller place bastards
