FOOD : we got a few orders - but i personally ordered the gluten free pizza with cheese, basil, and banana peppers. It wasn't too greasy which i liked and it had just the right amount of flavor in all the places it needed it. I love that it was straight out of the brick oven and cooked to perfection. I got the gluten free crust because it only had olive oil, whereas the other normal gluten pizzas have a mixture of olive oil oil and soy bean oil. The pizza was light because the crust was thin, but I still prefer the double zero Italian flour over the American flour overall it was a good pizza and I enjoyed it, however, still probably not in my top favorites for omaha! The table at large really enjoyed their pizzas, I think if you just want a quick basic pizza that's good and better than going to a fast food spot, this is a good choice, but if you're looking for high quality ingredients with local sourcing, this isn't it. Alas, it was still really good and we enjoyed our food! SERVICE : it definitely gave a mom and pop feel, we had exceptionally kind Service and really enjoyed the people that we met. They were extremely helpful and made it feel homey! ATMOSPHERE : Very much so a hole in the wall - I'm not going to lie, I was a bit turned off by the ceilings and the cleanliness of the place. I get a little bit freaked out when it comes to atmosphere / food so this was a bit of a downfall for me!

Great pizza and great vibes! Grabbed a mid week lunch here with a friend and it did not disappoint…read more Service is so friendly too! We split the Caesar salad, Bianco pizza, and the Tre Carne pizza. The Tre Carne pizza was definitely my favorite. SO good. I added hot honey on top because it sounded good. I feel like you could add their hot honey on any of their pizzas and it'd be amazing! The Bianco pizza wasn't my personal taste but worth a try! I suggest the Caesar salad if you visit. It's so well done and very refreshing! I hope to be back to try more!!

I've had both takeout and dine-in, would recommend takeout as there isn't a lot of seating. If you're looking to go a weekend with a group larger than 4, I would highly recommend reserving. Otherwise the bar almost always has open seating. They have craft cocktails and switch it up depending on the season! Service here is usually good too. They may take a while (~15 minutes) for the pizza but 100% is because it's fresh to order. Order an app, have a drink, and enjoy the dim and earthy environment. It's usually not loud in there either so is a great place to converse.

Got there a little early and was greeted by staff and told it would just be a couple more minutes. No worries got some pictures and watched the staff cook and get orders made. We got 2 pizzas and a calzone. We got a sausage and peppers and the Ducci and my wife did a build your own calzone. The pizza is great good amount of toppings but not too much, flavorful sauce, crust has a nice crisp but still has that chew you want. The calzone was fantastic, definitely 2-3 meals worth of food, filled with cheese and toppings my wife loved it and so did I the next day. The inside had multiple tables and a bar inside. Kinda unique with writings on the wall. A little lot by the ovens but love the open concept. One of my favorite pizza spots in Omaha. We will definitely be back.

Ordered carry-out from Piezon's this evening…read more You know how pizzarias sometimes give you a bogus 40-minute wait time and then when you show up, your pizza has been in the warming oven forever? Not the case at Piezon's. I arrived five minutes early, waited five minutes, and there it was. That said, my portobello fries were being boxed up when I arrived, so, I feared for the worst. Not a problem. When I got in the car, the starving occupants immediately dove in. The "fries" were hot, they were crunchy, they were delicious! I could eat these all day, but hold that ranch dressing and give me a salt packet or two. I loved these! That well-timed pizza, well, it cooled significantly in a four-mile drive home, and when we opened the box, the pizza was just a little less than inviting. This was a black olive/mushroom pizza. Lots of olives, so thumbs up to that. Razor-thin mushrooms though didn't add much to the experience. And cheese, well, I like a little pull to the bite, and that wasn't happening here. Not enough cheese? Wrong cheese? Not a lot of flavor. Crust? Also not a lot of flavor. Not a lot of crunch or chew, and the sauce is spread pretty thin. I "think" the sauce had good flavor, but if I tried this place again, I might diner in, get extra sauce, extra cheese and extra mushrooms ... that's a lot of extra just to make it basic. I did hear though, that if you dine in, they have a fantastic margarita! (The drink, not the pizza.)

Mootz isn't just the best pizza place in Omaha, it's in the running for the best Omaha restaurant…read morePERIOD! I was blown away by every aspect of Mootz. Get ready for a novel of a review! I warned you... The exterior of Mootz is basically the same as all of Countryside Village (which is probably a requirement), but the inside is a different story! The interior is all white and bright, and super clean. They really let the food and service do the talking without needing to dress the place up (which I appreciate!) The star of the show is their Acunto brick oven. It's gigantic, with white tile, and their Mootz name at the top. They had it made in Naples and it was definitely worth doing that for this amazing centerpiece of the space. And the oven is not just for looks, it puts out some of the best pizza I have ever had. I am not usually a fan of pizza crust, and only eat the main "body" of each slice, but at Mootz, even the dough and crust is flavorful and tasty! It has a salty and (super) semi-sweet flavor. It makes each slice all the better. That's just an example of how much they obviously care about the product they are producing. We got to chat with many of the staff, including Mootz himself, his dad, and others, who were all extremely welcoming, kind, and helpful. My husband and I are doing the ABCs of Omaha restaurants we haven't been to yet, and Mootz was our M pick. We didn't plan to tell them that's what we were doing, but when two people are ordering two whole pizzas, there's a little bit of explanation needed - LOL! Once they knew that was what we were doing, they made sure to help us pick the slices to try that they loved best, and based on what we were craving. What's great about Mootz is that you can order just a single slice of a certain flavor, or get a full pie of different flavored slices. Because of this, we were able to try 8 different flavors of pizza! We ordered slices of the Buffalo Chicken, Cheeseburger, Chicken Alfredo, and Jalapeño Oaxaca for one pizza, and then the second pie we did a lot of the normal pizza flavors, so slices of the Cheese, Pepperoni, Supreme, and Margherita. They were ALL fantastic (and I am not exaggerating), but our favorites were the Cheeseburger, Buffalo Chicken, Margherita, and Jalapeño Oaxaca. I'm a cheeseburger girlie and I achingly missed the Cheeseburger Pizza that Pizza Shoppe (RIP) used to have. But no more missing that flavor - the Mootz version is so great, it has satiated that craving! The Buffalo Chicken was BOMB! Not too spicy of a buffalo at all, and the chicken is juicy and flavorful. They make their own Ranch too, and the Buffalo Chicken dipped in that was perfection. (And in mentioning the house made ranch, we also had a side salad that we shared, with that ranch, and it was awesome - very well dressed and with lots of veggies!) The Jalapeño Oaxaca was a fave because I appreciated the heat that the jalapeño gave, and the crema on top giving it a creaminess that counterbalanced the spiciness. The surprise of the day was the Margherita! I normally don't order Margherita pizza just because it's not too full of toppings or flavor usually - but that's not the case at Mootz. The dough being so flavorful works wonderfully with their delicious pizza sauce, basil, and SO much cheese (parm, Romano, mozzarella). It's a lighter slice if you aren't wanting anything too heavy, but that doesn't mean it's not big on flavor! And to round out the meal, they have some awesome desserts too. We tried the tiramisu and the chocolate chip cookies. Tiramisu is my favorite dessert, but my husband on the other hand does not super enjoy it (since he's not a coffee lover). But we BOTH loved the tiramisu at Mootz! It comes in a little cup and it's almost "crumbled" (vs layered, like a normal tiramisu slice), which gives each bite a little bit of each layered flavor. Yum! The chocolate chip cookies were on point too; chewy, sweet, soft, and definitely homemade. We made a great decision to try Mootz for our M restaurant, because it was so dang amazing. I definitely recommend you go here for your next night out, immediately, right now! Do it!

Dolomiti's is my favorite pizza in the downtown, Omaha area. If you're here for the college World…read moreSeries, it's worth a visit and a walk away. Great Neapolitan style pizza, with classic and unique flavors. It's a smaller pizzeria, so if you're going on a weekend, get there early or maybe set a reservation. They do have bar seating and do online orders for takeout. I've had both and a great experience. Service is always great and friendly, with overall a welcoming feel. There is some outdoor seating considering it's in the millwork commons, so a great idea for a warm day too. The meatballs were a wonderful and classic appetizer but if you're an olive fan, I couldn't recommend the fried olives more! They were surprisingly flavorful from the fry and paired with the calamari, I was a huge fan!

I decided to try this place again after being unimpressed a couple years ago…read more Still unimpressed. It's fine. It's cute. Staff is nice. The flavors are just not here, though. Pizza crust somehow still has zero flavor, and the toppings can't make up for it. We got the prosciutto pizza because it has arugula. So we had the arugula flavor. There was a nice balsamic vinegar reduction applied extremely sparingly. I got the Brussels sprouts again, I wasn't as impressed with them today as I had been last time, but the pizza was a bit better so that evened things out. I did not order a dessert so I don't know if they are still suggesting the affogato when asked about a sharable dessert. I was hoping that this visit would show me that my previous experience was a fluke. Everyone seems to like the place. I am just not finding any flavor here. Super boring.

One thing I really appreciate is that reservations can be done quickly online, parking is conveniently right in front, and the service is always fast and attentive without feeling rushed.

I came for the Detroit-style pizza, easily the most underrated pizza style there is. If you know, you know. I ordered The Cadillac: cream cheese, cherry peppers, hot honey. On paper, it's chaos. In practice? A beautifully thought-out balance of sweet and spicy. Rich without being heavy, heat without going overboard. Someone in that kitchen gets it. And for a moment, it's flirting with greatness. Almost a perfectly executed Detroit pie... until the crust. That signature Detroit crisp--the caramelized, fried-edge crunch--is just a little undercooked. Not bad, but quickly soggy. Just missing that final snap that makes this style elite. Still, credit where it's due. This is a valiant effort, and not an easy style to pull off outside its home turf. I see you, Omaha. You're closer than you think!
