licorice pizza
slang A vinyl phonograph record, the black, shiny appearance of which resembles that of black licorice candy. I used to love working in the record store, flipping through all the licorice pizza and chatting to people about different bands they like. I sold my licorice pizza collection in college to help make ends meet, but not a day goes by that I don't regret doing it.
