Reilly Craft Pizza

Posted on February 10, 2026 by The Drive

Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink isn’t just another restaurant; it’s a locally owned Tucson favorite with actual history woven into its walls. Opened back on August 1, 2012, Reilly has been serving downtown for years and has become part of the city’s fabric because it feels genuine, warm, and distinctly Tucson.

The building itself tells a story. It was once a funeral home, and today that history gives the space character you don’t find everywhere, high ceilings, classic architectural details, and an atmosphere that feels both historic and inviting. Instead of tearing the past down, Reilly embraced it, and that respect for place mirrors how they approach their food and hospitality, with care, pride, and a thoughtful touch.

Being locally owned means every dish, every event, every space, from the main dining room to the beer garden, the cozy Tough Luck Club cocktail bar downstairs, and the rooftop views, reflects people who know this city, love this city, and want to create experiences that feel like Tucson through and through.

Reilly’s not just a stop for great pizza or pasta, it’s a place where locals bring friends from out of town, where you bump into neighbors on a Friday night, and where the food, drink, and vibe all feel like they were made to fit right into the heart of downtown Tucson. 101 East Pennington Street
