Pizza D’Action, the beloved Stifft Station dive bar and pizza joint, indisputably carries the title for having the most wise-crackin’ marquee sign in Little Rock. Prominently displayed near the busy intersection of Markham Street and Kavanaugh Boulevard, the sign’s playful quips command attention from both tavern regulars and drivers by. One of our favorite Arkansas Times headlines from 2011 is “Pizza D’Action shrugs off crash” after someone slammed a Toyota Camry into the dining room after hours and then backed out and drove off into the December night. With a board nailed in place of the busted window, “The D” was back open for business the next day. Almost always silly, sometimes crass, occasionally political, the bar’s landmark marquee provides the kind of levity that many of us so desperately long for when heading out for a smoky night of revelry. —Rhett Brinkley
