Former teammates John Starks and Anthony Mason from a then revered New York Knicks team of the 90s, are opening an eatery together. The restaurant comes as an addition to the Washington, D.C. chain, Custom Fuel Pizza, and will be the first in New York with opening set for January 2014.
Custom Fuel Pizza uses a build-your-own approach that allows customers to create their own pies by choosing the crust and sauce as well as any toppings. And since most New Yorkers like to have things their way, this new venture should be a hit in The Big Apple. Its location on Frederick Douglass Boulevard and West 123rd Street will be a nice add-on to Harlem’s already extensive variety of dining options. In addition to Starks and Mason, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo and Syracuse University men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim are also investors in the restaurant.
