Roberta’s — the Brooklyn-based pizza restaurant that has garnered national acclaim — has found another Nashville home. Roberta’s specializes in wood-fired pizza, salads and cocktails, but also offers multiple other menu items. It is praised for its food quality and distinctive interior vibe.
Locally, Roberta’s 12-inch pizzas have been available since January at East Nashville-based boutique hotel Urban Cowboy. Brandon Hoy, who is co-owner of Roberta’s along with chef Carlo Mirarchi, says the team is not ready to announce an opening date for the future 12South Roberta’s.
“It’s been exciting working with Urban Cowboy and we fell in love with Nashville doing that, so we wanted a permanent home,” Hoy says. He adds that the Urban Cowboy Roberta’s is likely to remain open after the 12South location is operational.
 The restaurant will operate in a 12South commercial building once used as a residence and located at 2405 12th Ave. S. An entity affiliated with Roberta’s recently paid $2.8 million for the property, the Nashville Post reports. Nashville-based real estate broker Lyon Porter, who owns Urban Cowboy, teamed with Elliott Kyle to represent the buyer in the transaction.
In addition to its main location in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, Roberta’s operates a location in Culver City, Ca. (near Los Angeles), and in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. It also has a presence in the Urbanspace food halls in Chicago and New York.
