Shakespeare's Pizza has been an iconic pizza joint located across the street from the Missouri School of Journalism at Ninth and Elm since 1973.  

Tomorrow it will be gone.  At least for a little while.  

I've enjoyed several pizza's at that location over the years and look forward to it's return.  

In the meantime, here are a few shots to help remember the original building.  The new building is scheduled to open by August 2016.  

"The outside of the building is still kinda up in the air. They're still working on a couple different designs, is my understanding. But our portion of the outside of the building is gonna replicate what our building has been all these years, all along," said Shakespeare's manager Kurt Mirtsching. "I heard that the designer had a Shakespeare's cup sitting on his desk, and he was looking at that picture of the building as he was designing the building that's going in Ninth and Elm."
