MUST CARE ABOUT FOOD

When Anthony Valinoti visited Hot Springs from Brooklyn, he knew he needed to live there and make Arkansas brick oven pizza using hand-made dough and fresh local ingredients.

After starting on Park Avenue with six tables, Deluca’s recently moved to a larger downtown Hot Springs space, and has now partnered with the Keets of Petit & Keet and Cypress Social, James Beard Award Winning Chef, John Currence, and Mike Waldo of Waldo's Chicken and Beer, to open a second location at the newly revitalized Breckenridge Village in Little Rock.
