Allston pizzeria could be taking over Roslindale pizza place closed since its owner's arrest

The "Stash's" on the awnings of Stash's Pizza on Belgrade Avenue today are covered with the logo of Rock City Pizza, an Allston pizzeria and sub shop that also has an outlet in Randolph.
Stash's closed March 16 after owner Stavros Papantoniadis was arrested on a federal "forced labor" charge for the way he allegedly abused - sometimes physically - employees there and at other pizza places he's owned.
Stash's opened on Belgrade Avenue in 2014, taking over the space M.J.'s and Larry's Ice Cream moved into after their location further down Belgrade Avenue caught fire.

Bit of nostalgia
But, oh man, did M.J.'s have the best steak tips. Looks like Rock City servers theirs with fries which is already a minus one in my book.
Any idea what will happen to the Dorchester location?
It’s been a week
Assuming another business will take it over.
Magoo sez
Magoo is finding that Magoo can no longer eat pizza or as Magoo sometimes calls it, the Zaa, for alas, the Zaa, causes Magoo to have the tummy troubles or as Magoo sometimes calls it the double T’s. Magoo.
Who is upvoting this scat obsessed weirdo?
You’re part of the problem.
Like I always say
Anyone who calls pizza "za" deserves to be kicked in the nis.
Blue Hill Ave. store
The Blue Hill Ave store was still open last week.
Black owned local business
I lived on Gordon St around the corner from Rock City Pizza when they opened in Allston and for a few years thereafter. I recall the owner and his family working the counter and kitchen, and they were always super friendly and accommodating. Glad to see them having success. Sounds like the polar opposite of Stash's previous ownership.
