  • David Flores is the owner/operator of longtime Fayetteville staple Geraldi’s, and a newer spot in Farmington, Pizza Navona. He’s not from here, but he’s been here long enough that he’s an Arkansan now. He started working for Mr. Geraldi a long time ago when he had a Giraldi’s in Oregon, and he started at the bottom. Mr. Giraldi opened several more spots in several more places around the country, and David ended up at the Geraldi’s in Eureka Springs. He’ll tell you about what got him there. He eventually moved to the Fayetteville location and would later take it over. As for Pizza Navona, David will tell you why he chose Farmington over Benton County for its location. Also, we’ll talk menu and future plans and that’s next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast!
