Sioux Falls, South Dakota (March 28, 2024) - Sunny's Pizzeria's kitchen in the EightyOne Arcade Bar will be closing this weekend, marking a transition as Salas Salsas prepares to establish its full-time presence in the space.

While Sunny's kitchen in the EightyOne Arcade Bar will no longer be operational, the establishment's original restaurant at 1801 S. Walts Ave. will remain open, and its pre-made pizzas will continue to be available at several downtown locations, including WoodGrain Brewing Co., Glacial Lakes Distillery & Brewhouse, and The Orion Pub. EightyOne Arcade Bar will revert to offering prepackaged snacks.
