PORTCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gilded River Custom Framing, a leading custom frame design studio known for preserving history and art, is thrilled to announce its partnership with the legendary New Haven pizza institution, Sally's Apizza. The collaboration involves a significant framing project to curate and install unique historical and local memorabilia for Sally's newest restaurant location in Dorchester, MA in the South Bay Center. Gilded River has previously provided framing for four other Sally's locations, including Fairfield, CT in 2022, Wethersfield, CT in 2023, Woburn, MA in 2024, and Farmington, CT in early 2025.
The project, which was unveiled at the restaurant's grand opening on September 30, 2025, aims to weave the rich 80-year history of Sally's Apizza with social and cultural icons such as Martin Luther King, Jr., the Kennedys, Donna Summer, Culture Club, Boston, and Steve Miller. The project also includes historical shots of many large naval ships built in Dorchester.
"We're very excited to be a part of Sally's latest location in Dorchester," said Anthony Lopez, Owner of Gilded River Custom Framing. "We meticulously crafted custom frames for dozens of photographs, artifacts, and local artwork. Our goal is to create a dynamic 'feature walls' that honor the Consiglio family's legacy while making the new location feel deeply connected to the Dorchester community, just like the original Wooster Street location."
The framed pieces will include a mix of:
- Historical Sally's Apizza memorabilia from the original New Haven location.
- Signed photos and records from Dorchester-born Donna Summer.
- Historical photos from many Dorchester-built naval vessels.
Gilded River Custom Framing is working closely with the Sally's Apizza team, who noted the importance of the restaurant's aesthetic. As cited in a presentation by Onyx Creative, who designs some Sally's locations, one of the three key brand features is the random assortment of wall memorabilia to connect back to the original space.
