Midtown’s newest pizza joint, Pizzasaurus Rex, will be joining Sacramento’s crust-aceous era when it opens on Saturday, Jan. 16, in the former Sticky Gator BBQ space at K and 24th streets.
“We had been playing around with much more serious pizza names, but I eventually disliked all of them,” says owner David Smith. “Finally, we thought, ‘What if we did something that’s not too serious?’ ” That playful tone is characterized by a munching dino mascot designed by Sacramento artist June Ray and painted by local muralist Jeremy Stanger which appears throughout the shop.
