Story in the film
How this place supports the narrative arc on screen.
Salvatore "Sal" Fragione is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin' Out, becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.
Relevance in the Show
There's an empty lot where Sal's Famous Pizza stood, as well as the grocery. A new building has been built to block the Bed-Stuy mural, but the red building on the corner still stands and some of the street is still recognizable.
