Our story

Let your freak flag fly.

We're your friendly neighborhood pizza shop. Let your freak flag fly while eating delicious, from-scratch cooking: we use high-quality ingredients and local produce.

With over 20 years of experience in restaurants, we've become trusted tastemakers who always deliver quality. Pizza should be fun, and pizza is for everybody.

Problem Child is owner Adam Sweet's pizza bar and grill on Keightley Drive in Little Rock: New York-style pies, a rock-and-roll attitude and a kitchen that keeps finding new things to do with whatever's in season.

When the banana pepper plant goes wild, we char and pickle the peppers for a pizza. When tomatoes are popping, there's caprese with peach and stracciatella. The bar keeps up with signature cocktails, zero-proof drinks and happy hour every day. See the dishes in our photo gallery.

Why Problem Child

Good food with an attitude.

  1. From scratch, every day

    Everything is cooked from scratch with high-quality ingredients and local produce, down to the banana peppers we char and pickle ourselves.

  2. A menu that moves

    Peaches and stracciatella in summer, pomegranate-glazed carrots in fall. When something new is good, it goes on the menu.

  3. Happy hour, every day

    2 to 5 PM daily: $3 canned beers, $5 well classics, $5 wine by the glass and $7 frozen drinks.
