They have a nicely laid out and spacious patio with umbrellas! A claw machine and pinball games to play while waiting for your food. I've become a huge fan of the whole pepperoni which comes piping hot out of the oven. Beautifully pullable cheese and great seasoning. I will say the single slices have a bit more of a crunchy crust which I prefer, while the whole is a bit softer. Both amazing in their own way. Also ALWAYS recommend getting their daily slice, it never misses. Although the dessert was.... The small cup of pudding with whipped cream and pretzels sticking out of the top wasn't worth $8 imo. But the pizza is well worth it. Stop in for a slice or 5.

Had such a great experience at Very Important Pizza. It is a great addition to downtown. They have pizza sold by the slice and by the actual pie. Prices are pretty reasonable given how large the pizza slices are. I got the regular pepperoni pizza slices to get a feel for how their basic items are supposed to be and it was pretty good. Cheese was melted nicely, crust on the outside was cooked well. Not too much marinara sauce either which was a plus for me. We also got the sweet treat which was a strawberry pretzel and that was incredible. Definitely think thats a must have if you ever see it on the menu. The staff was very nice and said they will watch over to our table to see when we are about to wrap up on our entrees and they will get the desert ready and they did which was very nice of them.

Such a delightful add to the Omaha downtown food scene! Perfect pizza sold by the slice, which I love so I can try multiple flavors, but they do sell by the whole pie as well! Prices are very fair, the slices are ginormous, we also got the sweet treat of the day, a play on the strawberry pretzel salad we all know & love, and the home run was the garlic knots, we loved the butter they came with and they did also come with marinara! You order at the counter, they call your name and you pick it up from the counter, and clear your own tables, but the staff was always walking by to ask how everything was going during dinner if we needed anything else! What a cute spot, love the old school hanging lamps over the tables! They do have a small parking lot out front, inside & outside seating! We will definitely be back soon!

So happy this place opened right by my apartment! My husband and I lived in nyc for 8 years, so this is definitely a pizza we will get when we are missing a New York slice. Tons of flavor and not too greasy. Very cool vibes inside, clean, and friendly staff!

Slice of pepperoni and the six garlic "bows"

Being downtown during all of the construction and limited parking, we weren't too sure, however, these folks are between all of that at the moment and they have their own parking lot. It's a nicely remodeled place. Order at the counter. 2 sizes but they offer nice sized slices as well. Calzones are also an option. They have limited cocktails but I ordered a coconut limoncello cocktail that was amazing and hubs had a manhattan. We each ordered a meatball calzone. His with onion, mine with roasted garlic. They came out beautiful and tasty! The garlic knots should be called garlic bows They are so cute! They give you a nice dollop of garlic butter to go with as well as marinara. Hubs thought marinara should be warm. I didn't care. They are also sprinkled with Parmesan. 3 guys working the place did an amazing job. I wish them great success and can't wait to go back!

Two Thumbs Down

Consider renaming this place to "The Worst Pizza Place" The ingredients on the pizza were not accurate to the menu of the Geezer. The gluten free dough fell apart in your hands. It was spicy and it should have listed that. There was way too much sauce which lacked flavor. I tried two pieces of the small just to be sure and I can confirm it's terrible. Do better.

Pizza Quest -- Episode 3: Built with Love…read more The campaign continues. Next stop: Piezon's Pizzeria a neighborhood stronghold with a robust menu that offers plenty of choices without feeling overwhelming. For this session, I picked up: One slice of the Oh Mio Dio One slice of the Mahalo with jalapeños The standout of the encounter was the Oh Mio Dio. The combination of fiery chicken and cream cheese landed exactly where I like my pizza builds to be--bringing the perfect balance of heat and coolness in every bite. The Mahalo took a different path. Built with Canadian bacon, pineapple, and cream cheese, it already offers a unique take on a Hawaiian-style pizza. Adding jalapeños gave it just enough kick to complement the sweet and savory flavors without overwhelming them. I can see why it's my wife's favorite. The menu itself deserves credit. There's a lot to choose from, but it never feels complicated. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-time visitor, finding your next slice feels straightforward. What stuck with me most, though, was the atmosphere. The walls are filled with stories and adventures drawn by kids, while pizza trays signed by Husker fans cover the space with messages and memories. Everywhere you look, there's evidence that people care about this place and that this place cares about its community. Heart 18 (+4) From children's drawings to signed pizza trays, the entire restaurant feels built on memories, traditions, and community. Wisdom 16 (+3) A menu with plenty of variety that remains easy to navigate and approachable for any adventuring party. Dexterity 17 (+3) The Oh Mio Dio balances heat and coolness with precision, while the jalapeños on the Mahalo add just the right amount of extra movement to the build. Session 3 Complete. #PizzaQuest #OmahaFood #OmahaEats #FoodJourney #SupportLocal

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!

Had Mootz for the first time. It's a solid 4 stars. Crust is really good. The pizza are a tad small…read morefor the pricing. Felt it could use a tad more sauce and cheese. They cook extremely quickly in the oven so your wait time is short which is nice. Located in Country side village towards the back.

They have a variety of games, like Yahtzee, Jenga, Shut the Box, etc that you can play at your table for free. On the weekend, the kitchen has a more limited late night menu.

First impressions? Huge, bright dining room! Almost distractingly so. But let's be honest--I didn't…read morecome to Backlot Taphouse for the square footage. 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!
