Pitch Pizzeria (Omaha)
Ripshaw and I hit up Pitch Pizzeria for a regular-old, not-happy-hour dinner, and everything was excellent. Pitch has the best pizza I’ve had in Nebraska.
No coal smoke here.
We started with some Calabrese meatballs which are delicious and light and come with their excellent marinara sauce and two small pieces of focaccia bread. Do yourself a favor and order these every visit. Next came the artichokes, and I’m not sure how they get so much of the heart out and intact with the stem. I’ve never been able to get even just the hearts out without destroying them, or maybe I’ve just never had the patience for that kind of thing. The artichokes were wonderful by themselves, and there’s certainly no need for them to come with the “garlic lemon dipping sauce.” And our last appetizer was the roasted brussel sprouts, not my favorite food in the world, but well-prepared and worth it.
But I can hear everyone reading this now: what about the atmosphere? And didn’t you have some pizza?
The atmosphere is just fine. It’s clean. Our service was excellent. And we had a pizza.
The Mia (Willy's Favorite). Or maybe just "The Willy"?
The Mia comes with the house-made sausage and pepperoni and is the best pizza I’ve had in Nebraska so far. The pepperoni are a little salty, even for a super-taster, but the crust is perfect and the leftovers were still pretty amazing the next day, simply warmed up in the oven.
If you haven’t been, get yourself there.
