The first and only Black-owned pizza restaurant in Little Rock
Founded in 2020 by Kreg Stewart, Samantha Stewart, and Harlem Wilson, Certified Pies began as a bold ghost kitchen concept that quickly captured the heart of Central Arkansas. Today, we stand proud as the first and only Black-owned pizza restaurant in Little Rock, offering a premium dining experience rooted in authenticity and soul.
Our secret is simple: we don't cut corners. Every pizza starts with our scratch-made dough prepared 24 hours in advance, topped with homemade sauces and locally sourced ingredients that celebrate the flavors of our community. From our signature specialty pizzas named after musical legends—like the lump-crab-loaded "Sweet James Jones" or the soulful "The Al Green"—to our "Best of the Best" nominated loaded fries, every dish is a tribute to the culture that inspires us.
Our commitment to excellence hasn't gone unnoticed. We are honored to be recognized as a 2025 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Best of the Best Finalist and to have our wings named among the Top 20 Wings in the South by Southern Living (2026). Whether you're here for the award-winning food or the family-friendly atmosphere, at Certified Pies, you're getting more than a meal—you're getting a vibe that's officially certified.
