A new Seinfeld-inspired pizza bar will open its doors on Hindley St in the city this weekend.

Cosmo’s Pizza, named after beloved TV character Cosmo Kramer, will serve up traditional New York-style slices, alongside big salads, marble ryes and snickers cheesecakes, among a range of Seinfeld-themed food offerings.

Located in Hindley Street Music Hall, the eatery’s expansive drinks menu includes cocktails such as the Del Boca Vista, a Jackie Chiles gin sour and a caffe latte espresso martini, plus a Summer of George session ale and Larry David Lager.

Owner Josh Bartolo said he and collaborator Josh O’Shaughnessy (Taco Cartel) grew up loving the iconic 90s TV show, and wanted to bring that “NY vibe” to Adelaide.

“A lot of people including myself were raised watching Seinfeld. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit New York a few times and for me, the show and the city go hand-in-hand,” said Mr Bartolo, former venue manager at sports bar Wing It.

“So I thought why not open a Seinfeld-inspired pizza bar in Adelaide?”

The stylish decor includes a Seinfeld poster wall, black and white framed photos from the show and a Kramer mural with the venue’s motto, Here’s To Feeling Good All the Time.

There’s even a frogger machine, giving patrons the opportunity to match George Costanza’s high score.

Launched with the help of Renew Adelaide, Cosmo’s will be open tonight and Sunday to coincide with gigs at Hindley Street Music Hall. It will then open full-time later this month.

“If you come in to see a gig and you don’t care about Seinfeld, we don’t want to feel like it’s in your face,” Mr Bartolo said.

“We hope it’s appealing to Seinfeld fans but that it’s also a great place to have a slice and a cocktail.”

Renew Adelaide chief executive Gianna Murphy said they hope Cosmo’s will show people that there’s more to Hindley St than its night-life.

“It can be an exciting and viable destination for foodies and small businesses alike,” she said.
