If all goes according to plan, there will be a new wood-fire pizza and taproom opening up in north Fayetteville this summer.

• Wide variety: Smokin’ Oak Wood Fired Pizza & Taproom is known for its homemade dough and sauces, fresh veggies, and baking its pizza in a smokey wood-fired oven. The most unique part - the taproom is self-service and will bring the largest self-pour tap wall to Arkansas with a wide variety of beer, wine, and mixed drinks.
• Community location: Located across the street from Malco Razorback Cinema in northern Fayetteville, Smokin’ Oak Wood Fired Pizza & Taproom will be in the ground floor in the shops of Uptown Apartments.
