Good food, including vegan cheese, at a decent price. Fun decorations in an old music store (squeezebox = accordion = owner plays one!)

New York style pizza! Tony makes what many consider the best pizza they ever ate! I can't disagree. You will need to call ahead and reserve a pie (crust) as he only makes so many each day. Voted "Best pizza in Arkansas."
