Just in time for the cooler Fall season and right on schedule for cloudy monsoon evenings, Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink is officially opening its rooftop dining area and bar on Friday, September 1.
After a successful soft opening experience earlier this week, the rooftop will open at 6 p.m. on Friday and is on track to be one of downtown’s favorite destinations. The best part: you can order Reilly’s full food and beverage menu from up there.
The rooftop spot isn’t on top of the main dining room and is nestled behind the restaurant right above the indoor beer garden area. Just like the staircase that takes you underground to the basement bar Tough Luck Club, the rooftop dining area has a brand-new staircase leading you up a story above.
The rooftop has several dining tables and chairs, a few larger benches for great conversations, and a couple of bartops to sit at to enjoy the sunset creeping behind downtown Tucson’s skyline. Order your food and drinks up there and it’ll all be sent up from the kitchen down in the main restaurant.
As mentioned earlier, the official grand opening is Friday, September 1.
For the time being, the hours of operation will be 6 – 9 p.m. on Tuesday – Wednesday, 6 – 10 p.m. on Friday – Saturday, 6 – 9 p.m. on Sunday, and closed on Monday.
In addition to Reilly, executive chef Tyler Fenton also oversees the menu at the nearby BATA and Fentonelli’s Pizzeria & Bar on the north side of town.
Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink is located at 101 E. Pennington St. For more information, visit reillypizza.com and follow Reilly Craft Pizza on Instagram.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
