Pizza Land, spelled Pizzaland on its front sign and in press accounts, and as two words on a separate sign, is an American pizzeria at 260 Belleville Turnpike in North Arlington, New Jersey, which features in the opening credits of The Sopranos. [1] In Law & Order episode 10.6, "Marathon" (1999), a pizza box from the restaurant was used by a suspect to transport and conceal firearms. [2]
The pizzeria was opened in 1965 by Italian immigrant Pietro DiPiazza. It was taken over by Pietro’s younger brother, Fred Di Piazza. [3] Fred passed ownership to his adopted son, Tony Di Piazza.[ citation needed] Around 2005, Al Pawlowicz purchased the restaurant. [3] Following Pawlowicz’s death in 2010, the shop was closed for a year before being purchased by Eddie Twdroos. [4]
