Black Rock Pizza Co. is opening in the former Red Star Liquors space at 114 S. Race St., U. Longtime residents may remember it as the home of The Embassy tavern.
Black Rock will sell thin-crust pizzas for lunch, supper and late night.
They also have hot grinder sandwiches & salads.
Chilled cocktail shrimp is displayed on ice. Just displayed.
Black Rock has live music during "happy hour" on Fridays.
The pizza joint will still have the old Embassy's classic back bar.
The place will be brighter lit than in Red Star Liquor days but sadly, in compliance with a new federal law for mediocre restaurants, will have dozens more TVs than customers want.
Tattoos and nose-piercings will not be required as when it was Red Star.
