What's the best place in LR for pizza/burgers/mexican

Be heading to LR before too long and I'm wondering where to find some decent food in or around LR.
Recommendations are welcome and appreciated.
Looking for the best... (in no particular order)

1) Pizza (we're talkin' thin crust here)
2) Burgers (Real burgers only, please. Burger King doesn't count)
3) Mexican (Don't even think of mentioning Taco Bell)

1, US Pizza http://www.uspizzaco.net/

2. Buffalo Grill http://buffalogrilllr.com/

3. Senor Tequila- 1101 South Bowman Road # A1, Little Rock, AR 72211-3767 (501) 954-7780 ‎

Enjoy your stay in Ar Renaissance Man

1. I'm with SNL on US Pizza for thin crust. If you're for deep dish, it's Old Chicago on the Northside

2. For burger's its Alley Ooops on Kanis

3. Mexican - Canon Grill in Hillcrest - a bit more new Mexican and good frozen margaritas; if you go north to Jacksonville, it's Cancun - authentic Mexican and a great pitcher of margaritas.

4. If you have an Italian itch, try Brunos on Bowman Road

5. For Sushi - try Sushi Cafe on Kavanaugh in the Heights

6. Riverfront Steakhouse for a good piece of prime beef

Enjoy Central AR, Renaissance.

Sonny Williams for the best steak, downtown Little Rock off President Clinton. Their creme brûlée is pretty good, too.

Shotgun Dan's pizza is definitely my favorite.

No , Kanpai Japanese Steak House on McCain in NLR is the best for sushi!!!!!

Hell No To Sushi or Chinese!!

Both U.S. Pizza Co. and Shotgun Dan's are excellent pizza places.

Bonefish Grill for a Great Fillet Steak.

CHEEBURGER CHEEBURGER FOR BURGERS...

LARRY'S PIZZA....THE MOST INCREDIBLE COMBINATIONS

Well- as long as we are putting up suggestions:

I would go with Zaza for thin crust/ brick oven pizza. I know that American tastes run more to pepperoni and a ton of cheese, but I think that they do a much better job with the crust and a more creative approach to toppings.

I have not found Mexican food here that I would call great. I thought La Palapa on Cantrell did a pretty good job until they were bought out. Most of the independents do a passable job, but I usually just wait till I get to Dallas or Austin. Cappi's in WLR has gone Mexican- and they seem to be getting the hang of it- but if what you want is the huge Gringo combination plate that takes two hands to bring to the table- you will be disappointed. Also interesting in that same category is Cantina Laredo- although their mixed grill pretty easily feeds 2.

AY Magazine just did a piece on the best burgers in the state. I am going to be very interested to see what Scott M. does with Orange, which should be open soon. My guess is that his version of burgers/ fires and shakes will blow away what anyone is doing here now. Cheeburger uses ground chuck- so you get good flavor and they understand putting enough topping on- but the place gives me a headache.

For Italian, I head for NLR to Capeo. Not true Italian but they do a nice job.

Arthurs in WLR for steak. Yaya- also west for breadth of menu and the Capital Grill for wine list.

Also BB Shotgun Dans is a good one too!
Ginger I will check out your sushi place too. I'm just SPOILED with Kanpai

Forgot about Shotgun Dans, but I don't eat pizza that often.

Seikisui is good and I do like Kanpai. But for quality and service, I'm sticking with Sushi Cafe.

In the chain burger category, don't forget 5 Guys. But if you're a quart low on the grease factor and don't mind a dive, The Box used to be the place to go - only open at lunch. God help us all if they ever turn the lights on in that place!

I'm not a local.... But we have enjoyed Juanita's for Mexican

And Bruno's for Italian

Taking notes for Burgers & Pizza!

I agree on U.S. Pizza for thin crust pizza.

On burgers, 5 Guys gets my vote, and Buffalo Grill gets an honorable mention.

On Mexican, I'd go Cantina Laredo (great guac and pretty good margaritas), Cozymel, and La Hacienda (in that order).

On good, non-chain type stuff, I like Loca Luna (eclectic American), Brave New Restaurant (eclectic American), Bruno's (Italian, GREAT red sauce), and Union Bistro (tapas). Sonny Williams is one of the few places with steaks that I'll admit are better than my own. Bar Louie is a pretty good place for a drink with above average bar food. For dive barbecue, Sims is good, and HB's is an interesting find that is definitely utr (basically a house in a SWLR neighborhood).

I almost forgot to mention, if you're on an expense account and money is no object, Ashley's at the Capital Hotel in downtown is a nice find. A billionaire (in the building next door that bears his last name) brought in a favorite chef who has won all kinds of awards.
