Reviews
The Caesar salad was one of the best I have had. service was awesome! the ambiance is very cool
Wow! I never imagined that I would find pizza this good in Arkansas. This is seriously well made pizza. And the other menu items are fantastic. Make sure you call ahead for reservations. We didn't have reservations (party of 3) but the staff were so accommodating and were able to get my elderly parents and me seated in a few minutes. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. The dining room is fairly spacious yet cozy. Don't sleep on DeLuca's if you're in Hot Springs (and Little Rock where they have a second location).
Visited at the end of our time in hot springs, went in already expecting something great, Dave Portnoy gave a 8.7 after all! We were not disappointed! Easily top 5 pizza slices of my life. Both pizzas had GREAT flavor, we LOVE a crispy wood fire crust. The pizza sizes are generous, I'd imagine their pastas are the same. Our waitress was so attentive and gave great suggestions, you can tell she did eat there and enjoyed the menu. Per the recommendation, we opted for the Sarah meadows plus meatball and peppadews. WHY WAS IT SO DELICIOUS WHAT IS THIS MAGIC . Also got the Benny Briggs. Soo good also, the pepperonis do have a kick! My little one was not happy with his accidental taste, but no worries we will return when he's older and I'm sure he'll feel differently! As a mom I know it's unfair to expect restaurants to cater to little ones. But I would have loved to have separate options for him instead of trying to pick off toppings, but we made it work, and he couldn't get enough of the meatball! It was a quiet night when we stopped in, the restaurant is smaller and really cozy. If it was a weekend I'm sure it's PACKED. You can make reservations, but beware the reservations is only for pizza dough NOT a table. So you'll get to eat no worries, but it might be a wait for your table. Have no fear, great drinks/beers to enjoy while you wait.
Made a pizza dough reservation about 2 hours ahead of time on a Friday, had no problem getting it. Arrived a little early because they said there might be a wait regardless of reservation but we were sat right away. Decor at the angle looking toward the bar was typical, view in the opposite direction looked at 8-10 very large head shot photos of (I assume) previous waitresses?....im sure there's a backstory but it stood out as unique. Service was quick and on point with timing, food didn't take long to arrive after ordering. Everything was delicious and there were plenty of pizza leftovers overs which they boxed for us. Great place!
Absolutely delicious pizza- most definitely in my top 5! Focaccia breadsticks were awesome. Great service as well.
