The iconic Denton pizza place and DIY concert den, J&J's Pizza, closed down last summer. A new restaurant has opened in its place and we recently tried it out. Several times.
Graffiti Pasta on the square in Denton has big shoes to fill. For 24 years, the previous tenant, J&J's Pizza, was a reliable place to grab a slice of pizza, and the basement below, Ol' Dirty Basement, was a DIY concert den that became a place of local-music legend. Last summer when they announced they were closing because of a rent hike, there was a bit of a panic in the square.
We stopped by each night during their first week of business and received a hearty greeting and attentive service from Jon Harwell at the bar.A-ha’s “Take on Me” called our attention to two of the large flat-screen TVs above the bar that play through a mix of ‘80s and ‘90s music videos. There's also a colorful nod todisplayed behind the bar. Small jars on the bartop contain silver wear, fancy paper napkins and chopsticks.
