Tommy’s Famous A Pizzeria Is A Little-Known Arkansas Restaurant That’s In The Middle Of Nowhere, But Worth The Drive

When you're in the mood for pizza in Arkansas, you have a lot of options. But a Detroit-style deep dish pizza? Now that's a tall order, and something you'll only find at Tommy's Famous A Pizzeria. This unassuming little gem has been dishing up their unique 'zas since 1991, in the tiny little town of Mountain View, Arkansas. While Mountain View residents know Tommy's on a first-name basis, this humble pizza joint is still quite under the radar. So allow us to give Tommy's Famous A Pizzeria its 15 minutes, because this little-known Arkansas restaurant really merits the spotlight.

Mountain View is a small community located in the Arkansas Ozarks.

While it's the largest town in Stone County, with a population of just over 2,800, Mountain View is still, by most counts, quite small.

But don't drive through this remote Arkansas town without stopping at Tommy's Famous A Pizzeria.

This unassuming little restaurant has been dishing up cheesy, saucy 'zas for 30 years.

It's all good vibes (and great pizza) at this unique little restaurant, which Tom and Terri Miller opened in 1991, along with their sons Sean, Clay, and Kris.

Sadly, Tom passed away in 2014, but Tommy's remains a family-run business. Today, Tommy's is run by Terri, Sean, and Tamara Miller, who have all mastered the art of Tom's totally unique 'za.

The Detroit deep-dish pizza at Tommy's is absolutely pizza perfection.

Sauced side-to-side, decked out with toppings, and covered a massive blanket of cheese, there really are no words for how good the pizza at Tommy's is.

This deliciousness can also be found in the calzones, which are crave-worthy, cheese-filled creations.

Tommy's is the kind of place where you'll find folks gathering on a Friday night -- for the upbeat atmosphere as much as the amazing food.

Visit Tommy's Famous A Pizzeria and you'll see what Mountain View residents have long known to be true: this unassuming local pizza joint really is something special.

Editor's note: As of June 2021, the dining room at Tommy's is closed to the public. According to Tamara Miller, one of the co-owners of Tommy's, there are outdoor tables available if desired, and they are hoping to reopen to the public soon after the completion of some interior remodeling!
