A Passion for Pizza
Since 1996

Pizza inn started as a single neighborhood pizzeria in Murfreesboro, Arkansas — a small kitchen with a big dream. Our founders believed that incredible pizza inn food didn't need to be complicated; it just needed the right ingredients, the right technique, and genuine care for the people eating it.

Over nearly three decades, that philosophy has stayed at the heart of everything we do. From our hand-tossed doughs to our house-made sauces, every item on our menu reflects a commitment to quality that began on day one. We've grown into a beloved local institution, but we've never forgotten our roots — or the neighbors who believed in us first.

Today, Pizza inn continues to bring families and friends together through food that's crafted with intention and served with warmth. When you walk through our doors, you're not just a customer — you're part of our story.

  • 1996 — The Beginning

    Doors Open in Murfreesboro

    Pizza inn opened its first location at 104 E 13th St, Murfreesboro, AR. With just six tables and a wood-fired oven, our founders welcomed the neighborhood with handcrafted pies and a warm smile.

    By popular demand, Pizza inn expanded its menu to include house-made pastas, fresh salads, and a catering service — bringing our food to weddings, corporate events, and family celebrations across Arkansas.

  • 2008 — Community Recognition

    Named Best Local Restaurant

    Pizza inn was awarded "Best Local Restaurant" by the Murfreesboro Community Digest — a recognition driven entirely by customer votes. We framed that award and it still hangs above our counter today.

    Online Ordering Goes Live
