PizzaRhias
A world-class fine dining institution built on legacy, family, and quiet power.
PizzaRhias is a boutique pizzeria brand founded in 2025 by DJ Rhias, a national radio host and creative icon. With just two rare locations, one in Lakeview City and the other in Liora Vale, Harland, PizzaRhias isn’t trying to be everywhere. It’s trying to mean something where it is.
This isn’t your typical pizza spot. PizzaRhias is thoughtfully designed to feel like a refuge: modern but never cold, cozy without being cluttered, and quietly photogenic without trying too hard. Every detail, from the ambient lighting to the playlist curated by Rhias herself, is built to make the space feel intimate, emotional, and shareable.
Whether you're an influencer taking a candid shot for your feed or a student journaling in the corner booth, you’ll find a vibe that meets you where you are.
The atmosphere strikes a rare balance: it’s affordable, yet elevated. You can bring the kids and still feel like you’re part of something special. And with only two stores in all of Signi, PizzaRhias has the charm of something hard to find, making it as much a destination as a dinner plan.
Managed by Rhias’s parents in Harland and a trained hospitality team in Lakeview, both locations reflect the same core values: comfort, care, and creativity. It’s more than just food, it’s a mood, a memory, and a marker of good timing. PizzaRhias officially opens on the first day of summer, 2025.

Founding & Opening Date
PizzaRhias was founded by DJ Rhias in 2025, following a season of reflection on what modern comfort truly looks like. After years curating music for people’s late nights, early mornings, and in-between moments, Rhias realized there was no place that matched the emotional tone she had spent her career crafting warm, relaxed, intimate. PizzaRhias was her answer to that gap. Not a franchise dream, a personal space with soul.
The idea took shape during a break from her usual broadcasting schedule. Rhias had always been drawn to cozy, ambient spaces, quiet booths, flickering light, a touch of vinyl hum in the background. But those spaces rarely served great pizza. And great pizza shops rarely offered spaces where you could decompress, journal, or feel safe showing up alone. She decided she wanted both. And not just for herself, but for her listeners, her community, her city.
Funding the project took more than vision. Rhias used a mix of personal savings and two carefully chosen loans. One came from Bank of Signi, known for supporting high-profile ventures with cross-state potential. The other came from Ellis Bank, a family-oriented lender whose terms helped Rhias involve her parents, Lauren and Jack Roseman, in the business. The Harland location, operated by her parents, was never meant to be second tier. It was the heartbeat of the concept.
From the beginning, exclusivity was intentional. PizzaRhias would not become a chain or a mall-ready brand. With just two locations, one in Riversend, Lakeview City, and one in Liora Vale, Harland, the brand signaled its refusal to dilute quality for scale. Each store was designed for its specific neighborhood, with the same care Rhias gives her radio broadcasts: tuning the space, not just filling it. Opening both locations on the first day of summer, 2025, felt symbolic. A warm welcome to something lasting.
Today, the brand reflects not just a culinary effort, but a lifestyle. It isn’t fast food, it’s a slow experience in a fast world. And because there are only two PizzaRhias locations in all of Signi, visiting one is a small, personal event. Whether you’re there to eat, think, write, or reconnect, the founding ethos still holds presence matters more than reach. And good food tastes better when it’s made from meaning.
Locations
As of 2025, PizzaRhias operates only two locations, each chosen with care and tied deeply to DJ Rhias’s personal journey. The first is located in Lakeview City, Signi’s most populous metropolis, while the second sits in Orlane, a beloved city in Harland. Both were intentionally selected not just for foot traffic or market demand, but for emotional resonance.
The Lakeview City location is situated in Liora Vale, one of the five boroughs and home to the Signi FM studio where DJ Rhias broadcasts. It serves as the flagship location, designed with urban creatives in mind... musicians, students, night shift workers, and solo diners looking for a warm corner in a noisy city. The aesthetic here leans modern and ambient, with curated playlists, soft-glow lighting, and layout elements that invite guests to slow down without needing to dress up.
The Orlane branch is run by Rhias’s parents, Lauren and Jack Roseman, longtime residents of Harland. Located in the quieter, community-focused district of Liora Vale, this location is where the emotional heart of the brand beats strongest. Its interior reflects familial warmth: framed photos from Rhias’s childhood, handwritten notes from customers, and a subtle nod to the early days of Signi FM. While the menu and layout remain consistent with Lakeview, the tone here is more intimate, more neighborhood than destination.
Neither location feels like a chain. That’s by design. The spaces are meant to be distinct but aligned, like two verses in the same song. They carry the same philosophy but adapt to the rhythm of their respective cities. There are no expansion plans, no franchising conversations, PizzaRhias was built for permanence, not popularity.
And because only two locations exist in all of Signi, visiting either one comes with an unspoken significance. It’s not just about grabbing a slice. It’s about showing up somewhere rare, thoughtful, and emotionally tuned. A place that knows what it wants to be, and invites you to feel the same.
Design & Atmosphere
PizzaRhias is more than a pizza store, it’s a sensory experience. Every element of its interior design has been chosen with intention. Rejecting loud gimmicks and overused trends in favor of calm textures, natural warmth, and emotional resonance. The space invites guests to stay awhile, not cycle through.
The overall aesthetic is best described as cozy modern. Walls are muted in tone, deep olives, warm neutrals, soft charcoals, with subtle wood paneling and low-profile lighting. There are no neon signs or corporate murals. Instead, each location incorporates tactile elements like stone tabletops, cloth napkins, and matte finishes that photograph beautifully without feeling performative. Influencers, creatives, and everyday guests alike find the space visually welcoming but emotionally grounded.
Music plays a critical role. Each store features curated Fantasy Lofi playlists, often timed to match DJ Rhias’s radio programming. Guests might arrive during a mellow instrumental hour, or a nostalgic evening blend of Fantasy Lofi. The audio is never disruptive, just enough to set the emotional tone. It’s part of why the booths are arranged for conversation, solitude, or reflection, not volume or turnover.
Natural light is prioritized during the day through wide front-facing windows, while the evening atmosphere leans into warm glows and soft shadows. Candles flicker quietly at each table. Small bookshelves line the corners, encouraging guests to journal, read, or sketch. Seating includes both small two-person booths and larger corner setups for groups or families. Every angle is meant to feel personal.
In both locations, the store avoids looking like a “concept restaurant.” It doesn’t shout its design... it whispers it. PizzaRhias is built for presence. When guests walk in, they often lower their voices. Not because they’re told to, but because the space itself invites stillness. It’s not just a restaurant. It’s a feeling.
Menu
The menu at PizzaRhias is intentionally focused designed not to overwhelm, but to invite. With only two boutique locations, the offerings reflect the same care and personality as the space itself. Every item on the menu is handcrafted with quality ingredients, emotional warmth, and an eye toward simplicity done well. It’s not about quantity, it’s about experience. Guests won’t find chaotic combo deals or novelty mashups. Instead, they’ll discover a curated collection of recipes that respect both tradition and modern taste.
The menu rotates slightly each season, but the core dishes remain steady anchoring the brand’s promise of comfort, presence, and just a little surprise.

Brand Culture & Identity
PizzaRhias isn’t built around hype. It’s built around feeling. From the moment guests walk through the door, they’re invited into a space that mirrors DJ Rhias’s personal values, presence over pressure, connection over clout. This is a place where quiet moments matter, where the lo-fi hum of the playlist feels like a soft conversation between the walls and your thoughts. The restaurant doesn’t push a loud brand voice. It simply exists, tastefully and truthfully, in rhythm with the people who show up.
Rooted in creative energy and emotional comfort, PizzaRhias has become a gathering spot for a specific kind of crowd: students with journals in their bags, designers reviewing mockups over dinner, night-shift workers winding down, families reconnecting after a long week. It’s a pizza store that behaves more like a creative studio, casual, cozy, and thoughtful. The branding is subtle, but unmistakable. The logo is familiar without being flashy, and the interiors don’t scream for attention, they invite it.
Music plays a defining role. Unlike many restaurants that use playlists as background noise, PizzaRhias treats music as part of the experience. Curated Fantasy Lofi mixes, often from Signitunes albums, shift throughout the day, from mellow sunrise tracks in the morning to introspective beats at night. The space becomes an extension of DJ Rhias’s radio aesthetic, blurring the line between physical and sonic atmosphere.
The brand's online presence leans heavily on community. It doesn’t rely on influencer deals or aggressive promotion. Instead, it reposts guest photos, handwritten notes left behind on tables, and moments of stillness captured between slices. PizzaRhias doesn’t market a lifestyle. It honors one that already exists.
Even though there are only two locations, the brand identity is remarkably cohesive. Whether you’re in Lakeview or Harland, the energy remains the same: warm, grounded, and real. This cultural consistency is no accident. DJ Rhias herself approves every detail, from the playlist timings to the style of customer service. To visit PizzaRhias is to step into her emotional world, and for many, that’s exactly why they return.
Staff & Management
PizzaRhias may only operate two locations, but its staffing approach reflects the same intentional care that defines the rest of the brand. DJ Rhias is not just the founder in name, she plays an active role in hiring decisions, training philosophy, and even the emotional energy of the space. Each team member is selected not only for their culinary or service experience but also for their ability to contribute to the welcoming, reflective atmosphere that PizzaRhias is known for.
The Orlane (Liora Vale), Harland location is family-run and managed by Rhias’s parents, Lauren and Jack Roseman. Longtime residents of Harland and deeply involved in their community, they bring both warmth and discipline to the store. Lauren handles guest relations and visual detail, while Jack oversees kitchen operations and inventory. Their presence makes the Harland location feel like an extension of the Roseman household. Kind, consistent, and quietly proud.
The Lakeview City branch, situated in the Riversend borough, is professionally staffed but just as personal. DJ Rhias worked directly with a team of hospitality mentors and interior specialists to train the staff. Emphasis was placed on guest pacing, emotional attentiveness, and maintaining the store’s curated aesthetic even during rush hours. Staff are encouraged to know the regulars, respect the quiet moments, and treat each table like a vignette in someone’s story, not just a transaction.
PizzaRhias maintains a healthy staff-to-table ratio to avoid rushed service. Team members include servers, pizzaiolos, baristas, and floor leads. Roles are clearly defined but coordinated, with daily briefings to align on the day's energy, specials, and guest expectations. The result is smooth service without formality, and attentiveness without intrusion.
Hiring remains selective. Whether it’s a front-of-house host or a backline cook, the goal is to find people who understand that food, like music, is a form of emotional architecture. At PizzaRhias, the staff don’t just serve, they help guests feel seen, cared for, and unrushed.

Cultural Impact & Community Presence
Though PizzaRhias operates only two locations, its presence resonates far beyond its walls. The brand has quickly become a cultural touchpoint in both Lakeview and Harland, known not just for its food, but for the emotional space it creates. It’s where a late-night Fantasy Lofi fan might find themselves journaling after hours, or where a weekend crowd gathers not for loud energy, but for a shared sense of calm.
DJ Rhias’s influence is part of the draw, but the soul of PizzaRhias lives in the small details: handwritten notes left by customers on the community board, spontaneous sketch sessions in the corner booths, and soft claps for staff birthdays that ripple through the room.
Local musicians have even been known to drop off demo tapes in hopes of being featured on the store’s playlists.
PizzaRhias hosts seasonal “Quiet Gatherings” small, music-themed community nights designed to welcome regulars without fanfare. The goal isn’t attention. It’s intention. Even as its popularity rises, the brand has resisted franchising offers in favor of protecting the original spirit: two rare places where food, music, and mood align.
