Marvin Kinney Reno restaurant serving Detroit-style square pizza, grinders and house-made sides.
The edges matter at R Town Pizza. Its Detroit-style pies use a thick, airy crust with crisp, caramelized sides, while sauce sits above the cheese and toppings. Owner Marvin Kinney's Reno restaurant makes that square-pizza tradition the center of a menu that also includes grinders, salads and substantial starters.
More than a round pizza in a different pan
R Town's own account emphasizes dough, ingredients and in-house preparation wherever possible. The style's combination of a soft interior and browned edges is part of the intended experience, not simply a change in shape. Local reporting identifies Kinney with the business and has followed his continuing work in Reno's pizza scene.
The restaurant is on West Peckham Lane, in Suite 1100. Its website provides dine-in information and online ordering, so customers can use the same menu to plan a table meal or an order to take away.
Before or beside the pizza
Cast-iron meatballs arrive in red sauce with garlic bread. Another starter combines shrimp, bacon, garlic butter and Calabrian chili. House focaccia becomes garlic cheese bread, while Jojo potatoes are offered with several different topping combinations.
The grinder selection extends the kitchen's bread work into sandwiches. Choices include cured meats with mozzarella and vegetables, a bacon-and-tomato combination on focaccia, and meatball sandwiches. Salads range from a house Caesar to a Greek-style preparation with cucumber, olives and feta.
That breadth makes the restaurant useful for a group whose orders do not all need to be pizza. The published menu includes detailed ingredient descriptions, and the staff can discuss current substitutions or dietary requirements directly. For someone specifically seeking Detroit-style pizza in Reno, however, the square pie and its caramelized perimeter remain the clearest reason to start here.
