NWA’s Newest Pizza Spot Just Opened and Downtown Rogers Is Already Buzzing
NWA’s food scene keeps growing, and Ria Pizzeria is the latest spot giving you a reason to head to Downtown Rogers. The new pizzeria just wrapped its soft opening weekend with lines out the door by 5:00 PM.
A Slice of Something New
Ria specializes in Neapolitan pizza, the kind built on simplicity and quality ingredients. Each pie starts with 72-hour cold-proofed dough, Italian 00 flour, and authentic San Marzano tomatoes. The menu focuses on doing a few things well rather than trying to be everything to everyone.
The space seats 88, with local art on the walls and a drink list that covers signature cocktails alongside local and international taps. You’ll find it at 200 N 1st Street in Downtown Rogers, right off the bike path and steps from Butterfield Stage and Railyard Playground.
Hours and Soft Opening
Ria is currently in soft opening mode. This week, hours run Wednesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with Sunday dinner service from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Follow @riapizzas on Instagram for updates as they settle into regular operations.
Make a Night of It
After dinner, you’re already in one of the most walkable stretches of Downtown Rogers. Grab a scoop at Gelatissimo, stop into Onyx Coffee Lab, or take a spin along the bike path. The location puts you close to enough spots to fill an evening without getting back in your car.
Ria Pizzeria is open and ready for you. Stop by this week while they’re still settling in, or bookmark it for your next pizza craving.
