The wood-fired dining room at Rusty's Pizzeria
Wood-Fired · Family-Owned · Texarkana

Honest Italian,
fired by oak.

Hand-stretched dough, San Marzano–style tomatoes, and a wood oven that has been burning in downtown Texarkana since 1998.

Our Kitchen

A neighborhood table, set since 1998.

What started with a single oven and a family recipe has become a Texarkana institution. We still make our dough by hand every morning and source what we can from Texas farms.

No shortcuts, no freezers — just slow food, made with care and served without pretense. Pull up a chair; you're family here.
