Pizza Land

See Pizzaland for the former UK pizzeria chain.

Pizza Land is an independently owned pizzeria located at 260 Belleville Turnpike in North Arlington, New Jersey, which featured in the opening credits of The Sopranos.[1] Additionally, 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 Frank DiPiazza, who died in 1991. It was owned by pizza maker Al Pawlowicz until his death in 2010, who purchased the restaurant from DiPiazza's son.[3] The store is now owned by Eddie Twdroos.[4]
