"While browsing Menuism, I noticed there weren't many reviews for Arkansas, so I decided to give it a shot. I can't really explain why I ended up in Arkansas, but I had the chance to explore some interesting people, places, and restaurants. One of the places I visited was Gusano's, which is a standard sports bar/pizza joint. The restaurant is situated in a small strip shopping center with a beautiful view, especially if you haven't been to Bella Vista before. I recommend grabbing a table or sitting at the bar and trying out their limited menu of specialty pizzas, appetizers, and build-your-own options. You can choose between thin or Chicago-style deep-dish crust. We opted for a 3-topping Chicago-style pizza with peppers, mushrooms, and green olives, as well as "bread sticks" which turned out to be thin crusts with garlic and cheese served with ranch and marinara. They were still tasty, but not what I expected when I hear "bread sticks." The 14-inch pizza was enough for the three of us to share, but the crust was a bit too firm and challenging to cut or chew. Despite this, the pizza was decent overall. If I ever find myself in Bella Vista again, I might consider returning to Gusano's, but I believe there are more authentic southern joints worth trying first."
