A growing pizza chain is set to open soon in Jonesboro.
La Torcia Brick Oven Pizza’s Director of Operations, Melissa Hicks, confirmed that the restaurant is coming to a prime location at 604 E Highland Drive.
Hicks told What Now Memphis that the new eatery will be corporate-owned and managed by General Manager Jon Sullivan. Sullivan, who has been with La Torcia for over nine years, recently relocated from the Poplar Bluff, Missouri location to the Paragould/Jonesboro area.
The original La Torcia was founded by Scott Stevens in 2004. Today, the restaurant boasts 16 successful locations across Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas.
The family-friendly chain is known for its freshly prepared pizzas baked in stone hearth ovens and offers a diverse menu including wings, quesadillas, pastas, sandwiches, and salads.
Construction at the Jonesboro site is underway, with the restaurant slated to open in October 2024.
“We can’t wait to become a vital member of the Jonesboro community and begin to find ways to give back,” said Hicks.
