Back at virtuoso today. As always the 20" pepperoni pizza was absolutely delicious! So good!!! My boys loved it! The chew of the crust is so good! The charred cups of pepperoni! All of it perfectly cooked! My only complaint is parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top you have to buy. And you get a tiny amount for a $1.20 .. every other joint in town gives that complementary. read more

What is it about Omaha and Benson in particular that attracts great fun restaurants? Virtuoso is a gem. I have literally stood in line over an hour for a slice in NYC that doesn't hold a candle to this place. The pizza is perfection! And the salad while basic in some ways shines with bright flavor-lettuce, Parmesean, red peppers and balsamic come together to perfection. I can't wait to come back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restaurant with great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pizza was doughy and greasy, heavy on the top but also the flavor. I prefer a thinner slice with more structure so this would not be my top choice in Omaha. read more

I've been an online fan of Virtuoso Pizzeria since they opened, but was just finally able to visit last month. It was just as tremendous as I had hoped and even better than the delicious pictures made it out to be. We stopped in for a few slices to share. The 12-year-old was "not hungry" and "didn't want pizza" and then consumed two gigantic slices. Success! read more

Amazing pizza! Grabbed a quick lunch with some friends. Service was good and the workers are super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a smaller space so there are just a few booths and tables inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a slice of the pepperoni with the side salad. The side salad wasn't my favorite because of the sweet taste to it. My friend liked it though. The pizza was VERY good. Slices are big but thin crust so ends up being the perfect size in my opinion. Will be back to try more! read more

Don't bother stopping by on a weekend night for a slice. They will take your order and have you wait 45 minutes. I couldn't tell you how it tasted. I waited 30 minutes to have them tell me it would be another 30 minutes for two slices of pizza. So I left. F' em. read more

Amazing pizza. Perfect crust. Amazing toppings. There is a lot of good contenders in this city. But this is the best pizza in Omaha hands down. read more

Another wonderful pizza! Continues to be , in my mind , one of the best pizzas in Omaha for New York style pizza lovers. Great crust, great sauce, and add some of their homemade sausage and you've got the makings of winner. Greatness takes time so plan on waiting at least 30 minutes for pizza or call ahead. Home made cannolis, etc. and we were offered a special treat today to taste their New England clam chowder - Ended up taking some home - yum!! Always a great stop for a super casual meal with many special to go options read more

Omaha classic for a reason. They do everything amazing. Great crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Stone oven baked. Great for one slice or a whole pie. Don't worry, one slice is huge!! Love the thinness of the slices and how it doesn't get soggy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Relaxed setting with a small amount of seating, but we still found room for a table of 4.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't forget to try the Italian margarita in a bag, strong and good!

Came here with my husband while we were in town based on a recommendation. The pizza was fantastic, and the slices were huge! I got a cheese slice along with a small house salad, and my husband got 2 slices of the pepperoni. The pizza was perfectly cooked, and the ingredients tasted so fresh. The consistency was not too soft, but not too crunchy. Just the way I like it! The salad has a house made balsamic dressing made in house that was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was very clean and cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a Ninja Turtles machine I wish I had the cash to play ! Very great service as well. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Omaha. read more

Pizza by the slice. This is in Benson so parking is an issue. There is a parking lot in the back. We went in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday not busy at all. We had a slice of Midwest beef and a special that I don't recall the name of, but I had a spicy pepperoni, hamburger asiago cheese. Both were absolutely delicious. When we walked in there were full pizzas in the case already made. We ordered the slices and thought it would be really quick but it took about 20 minutes which we weren't sure why. A little pricey, but it is delicious. Without the weight and a tad cheaper would've been five stars. read more

Authentic thin crust pizza with the right balance of sauce and cheese. Coming from New York, pizza must be foldable to eat and this was just that! This pic does not do the slice justice cause it was big! read more

This New York style pizza hits the spot. Giant slices that are light on the cheese but heavy on flavor. They have a few pizzas you can buy by the slice otherwise everything else is in full pies only. They also have a few pastas and a rotating soup. They sell bottles beverages and have a water station. The cheesy bread gives elevated school lunch vibes (in the best way). The bread was similar to a hotdog bun. SO much cheese that got crispy on the edges. Would definitely reco getting a side of Marinara. The Cannoli is 2 little pieces which is perfect for sharing and a great small size after all that pizza. Check out the walk up window for a grab and go slice! They make their Italian sausage in house so give that a try. Parking is a nightmare in Benson so go early. There was a sign that they had parking in the back but I did not check that out. read more

If I could give this place 100/10 I would. The nostalgia from Lo Sole Mio's menu paired with great pizza and great people. Highly recommend for in house service or takeaway. read more

Virtuoso Pizzeria is a little gem right in our Benson neighborhood. The owner, David Losole, is a certified Pizzaiolo, from the famed Lo Sole Mio restaurant family in Omaha - and the generations of love put Into the food definitely shows. Virtuoso opened a few years back, and we ventured there as soon as they were open (and have been back many times). You can't go wrong with anything you order! The ambiance and service is also a 10/10. Classic pizza shop vibes with a front counter display showing the pizzas on order that day. We usually order pizza (obviously), but my husband also likes to get the Chicago Italian Beef sandwich. It's toasty buns, filled with a ton of Italian beef and giardiniera (pickled peppers). You can get it dipped in au jus or with the au jus on the side - we always get it dipped! The pizza slices are never too greasy and soggy, like some places can be, and the slices are GIGANTIC - almost a fourth of a whole pie. You can eat the slices flat, but it's a little messy that way, so I fold mine in half which makes it a little more manageable. Folding pizza slices in half usually makes the dry crust the first thing you taste, but that is fine here because Virtuoso's crust is actually toasted and tasty! Pizza-wise, we usually get the pepperoni, cheese, or meatball. The pepperoni has a little kick to it, which I enjoy. The cheese is just super cheesy and divine. And the meatball is delish and savory, with almost an airy/flowery flavor that I think comes from the Italian spices. SO GOOD! After your pizza or sandwich, they also have some delectable cannolis - I recommend the Chocolate Nutella! They also have a little walk up window if you want to come to the window and just order a quick slice while walking around the Benson neighborhood. If you are in Benson or passing by, I definitely recommend a stop here if you're craving a good pizza or sandwich! read more

I joined my friend and his family for dinner here last month and it was pretty dang good. You walk in and all of the employees seemed really happy to be there and were very welcoming; which made a huge difference on our experience. I got the Jimbo Italian Hot Beef sandwich and it was kind of small, but pretty good. I also got a cup of clam chowder which was good as well, but IMO not worth the $9 for the little cup of soup. My friend and his family split a pizza and the pizza was pretty good as well. We all got a couple orders of their cannoli's and they were just okay. You get two really small cannoli's for $8. When in Rome, but those little guys weren't worth $4 a piece to me. I've heard about this place for a while and the food was really good. I just wish the prices reflected the quantity just a tad bit more. With that said, I would come back and try something else. read more

Highly recommend this spot! read more

I don't know how to appropriately express my feelings for this place. Whatever you think about pizza, you don't know until you've tried it here. With slices the size of a small child, baked to perfection, it's hard to find an equal. The homemade vodka sauce on a slice with pepperoni cups and fresh mozz is heavenly. The salad is layered with fresh thick shaved parm, sweet red pepper, and a balsamic vinaigrette. They have a small variety of drinks, but a nice dry red is perfect with the pizza and salad combo. The staff is all friendly and helpful, you'll have a fantastic pizzeria experience here! read more

I recently tried a plain slice and I think an italian beef slice. I would love to try it again but either get a full pie or dine in when they reopen dinein. Since I got a slice and took it home, I feel like with the delay to try it and the packaging (paper plate + bag), led to some condensation that made the crust softer than I think it nornally would be read more

The pizza is excellent. It was one of the best I've had in this city. My favorite was the peperoni and specialty pizza. The cheese pizza was good but not the best that I've had. If you go during peak dinner hours, expect there to be limited seating. They do have bar tables to use and stand to eat. It's not a sit-down restaurant, its a order at the counter type place. Which helps with the trafficnduring busy hours. The staff is extremely nice and works hard to keep the wait time done. Everyone is extremely nice. read more

Kalamata Olives, Green Queen Stuffed Olives, Black Olives, Minced Garlic & Fresh Ricotta Cheese The Olive Oil pizza is hands down the best pizza I have ever had, ever. Did I say ever? Ever!! Ridiculously good. The staff is always energetic and friendly and seemingly passionate about what they do.

Hot damn. Virtuoso Pizzeria by David Losole is legit fire. The artisan slices David hand crafts are unique & so full of flavor, stone baked & the slight char to finish is what makes it over the top !!!! The spicy giardiniera is out of this world. David told us tonight it's a 14 day process for each batch. The ingredients he uses are fresh & top of the line. There are usually 3 rotating daily special slices in addition to the regular menu offerings. Today I had the Paisan which was Chorizo sausage, pepperoni, minced garlic, peperoncini peppers, ricotta cheese. It was perfection Get to Benson & get a slice. Don't forget a cannoli read more

If you are driving here, call first. They close when they run out. Don' t waste an hour like I did.

Really great pizza! Friendly service. We tried a slice each of pepperoni, meatball and bella mia. They were all so good! They offered to cut our slices in half so we could share which was nice. My favorite of the three was the pepperoni. I really liked the crust - it's fluffy and slightly chewy, and it held up well. There is a decent sized indoor searing area with a few booths and several tables. It was very clean and welcoming. They also have a walk up window which is convenient for grabbing a quick slice. read more

Dispite the order window mishaps, which I think is being underutilized especially late night on the weekends. The pizza is some of the best in Omaha, not many places where you can order just a slice of pizza. I know Omaha tries to do that Pizza bracket every year to vote for the best pizza...but this place is much better than Big Fred's or Mama's pizza. The only close competition to Virtuoso is Frank's or Mangia. read more

The pizza is above average. It didn't knock me on my butt like I expected after hearing about it for years. The slice in my photo costs $7 which seems steep, personally. Just not a fan of warmed up slices I guess, maybe I need to try a whole, fresh one. read more
