And speaking of pizza, to mark its first anniversary in Arkansas, Tulsa-based Hideaway Pizza is introducing its new “Sweet Southern Heat” specialty pie at its North Little Rock location, 5103 Warden Road. (It will also be at the chain’s second Arkansas location when it opens at 11 a.m. Nov. 13 at 1170 S. Amity Road, Conway.) The creation of collaborator Donnie Ferneau Jr., it features Hideaway BBQ sauce with red pepper flakes, cheddar, mozzarella, bacon, fried chicken, jalapeno, red onion and red bell pepper with a honey-Sriracha drizzle. The name comes from a combination of submissions by North Little Rock’s Anita Singleton and Debra Roberts in a competition on the company’s Facebook page, beating out more than 200 others; they’ll each receive a $600 “Hideaway Pizza for a Year” gift card. Hours are 11 a.m.9:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday. The phone number is (501) 270-7777.
