We had the Sidetown with pepperoni and it was so good. Thin charred crust with delicious cheese and house made sauce. It’s very difficult to make a super thin pizza yet have toppings that are tasty and not weight down the slices. This place does it. Worth every penny. My only knock is they don’t have ranch to dip the crust in. Other thank that, it’s superb and must stop.

The pizza is pretty good, decent texture to the crust, good toppings. We went on a weekend and even though we reserved dough, the wait to get a table was incredibly long. We ended up eating at the bar, which was fine. The decor is a bit odd and kind of has a college bar atmosphere to it. Maybe I’d try it again when its a little less crowded. I think I understand the fuss about the pizza given the lack of options around central AR, its definitely good but a little overhyped.

Found this place thanks to One Bite pizza review with Dave Portnoy. My wife and I had lunch here today and it was amazing. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with our decision making We had lasagna rolls for appetizer and a pizza for lunch. This will be our go-to stop for all additional trips to Hot Springs.

We love DeLucas’s! We hadn’t been in a long while, and we looked at each other and moaned at the first bite of everything we’d been missing! The restaurant is always busy, but worse during the race meet. We had a dough reserved and waited at the bar for a table. They make a great blood orange Mule, and we each enjoyed one. We moved to our table and ordered our usual: Caesar salad, Tagliatelle Bolognese, and our pizza- The Gooch with meatballs and mushrooms added. Now, as Italian red sauces go, I am not a huge fan, but DeLuca’s Bolognese and the fresh pasta could satiate me for life! It’s really incredible. The Caesar is fresh and crisp and the dressing has just the right amount of tang. Plus, you get a snappy Parm cheese crisp with the salad. The pizza is baked on stone, and the char is part of the charm. The Gooch has soppressata pepperoni, garlic, sweetie drops, and arugula, plus we added mushrooms and meatballs. Now, I’m a huge carnivore, and let me just say that their meatballs are insanely good- you can also get them as an appetizer. Forget any other pizza meatball you’ve eaten- these are the only ones you need to remember. They will box up your left overs for you (if you have any), and write a note of thanks, with a flourish! To order pizza, you must reserve a dough, and they frequently sell out. It’s a fun time, and if you’re local, you will always see someone you know. Buon appetito!

Food was great. The Caesar salad was on of the better ones I have tasted. Dressing is made in house and you could taste that. The cheesy gnocchi were fantastic and the bread to dip in the remaining sauce was a great touch. It should not go to waste. We had the Dave reviewed pizza and added pepperoni. They crust was fantastic. The cheese was and pepperoni were great too. The only thing I would change is maybe a slightly more great tomato sauce and more basil spread out for my personal preference. We will be making the 5 hour drive again though. Thank you, Deluca’s!

Our first time in Hot Springs and this was one of the top restaurants recommended. We were there on a Friday night and the wait was only 30 min!
We ordered a Caesar for two and a half Sarah Meadows and half Jamesy Pie and a Cannoli and everything was DELICIOUS! One of the best pizzas we have ever had.
The only thing I didn’t like was the atmosphere and decor. It was a little too dark, made it difficult to even read your menu, and it was very loud— hard to hear the waitress or the person sitting in front of you. The photos that lined the walls were headshots of random “attractive” women, which is fine, it just didn’t seem to fit the vibe of everything else and felt out of place.
Other than that, no complaints! Food came fast and was great quality. Staff were friendly and quick. A little pricey, but worth it.

We went last night and arrived close to “kitchen” closing. I hate to be that person that orders at the last minute but, the hostess was so nice, our group felt very welcomed and assured it was not a problem. Our server was great, friendly, attentive and had a fantastic attitude! Pizza has amazing. Top 10 for sure! We got the one with the chili flakes and added Jalepenos. That was heat. If there is one criticism, I would have liked to see a bit more pepperoni for the $5 add-on charge but it’s a big perfectly cooked pie. Highly recommend!

Rating 3 stars because the pizza was so burnt that if we had eaten the whole thing, we probably would’ve gotten sick. A human can only consume so much char before they start feeling bad. It’s a shame because we know that the pizza WOULD have tasted soooo good, if only it hadn’t been burnt. That pizza should never have left the kitchen. Earlier in the day my husband and I couldn’t decide if we wanted BBQ or pizza. Today we found both at Deluccas Smoked Pizza Co Aside from that, the appetizer and the service was great. Our waitress was super nice!

Our table is saying this may be the best pizza they have eaten!
From the gluten-free part of the family, very disappointed in the options. Spent $19 for a bag of Lays chips and patty on a plate. Literally, just a plain patty on a plate. No offer for dipping sauce, no questions about it, just here’s your patty.

It’s really really good pizza. If you are in Hot Springs, is definitely worth it to stop by. Why not a 5? As good as it is, I’m not sure the pizza is quite up to the hype. The cook on the pizza was incredible, perfection. The sauce, experienced on both the meatballs and the pizza, was just kinda plain and bland – would have liked a little more flavor, but that’s just me and I’m certainly no expert.
