Pizza is one of those universally loved foods, and if you’re in Omaha for the College World Series, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself craving a slice or two. And while Omaha may not have the pizza fame of New York or Chicago, it’s home to plenty of great pizza spots worth checking out during your CWS visit!
Omaha Pizza Places Near Charles Schwab Field
Izzy’s Pizza
Detroit-style pizza is having a moment, and if you’re curious why, just dig into a slice at Izzy’s Pizza. With a thick, fluffy dough and an outer lacing of crispy caramelized cheese, Izzy’s enormous pizzas have gained a legendary status in Omaha. You can visit the Downtown Omaha location, or follow them on social media to see where their food truck—a converted school bus—will be parking next.

Via Farina
While Via Farina also has a dedicated pasta program, it’s the pizza that’s made this Omaha institution so popular. The dough requires three days to rest before it goes into the fiery belly of Via Farina’s brilliant orange pizza oven, emerging with a crispy bottom and soft-as-a-pillow outer edge. Via Farina has a Downtown Omaha location, but it also has a location in West Omaha if you’re staying a bit further from the stadium.

Virtuoso Pizzeria
No one in Omaha does New York-style pizza like Virtuoso Pizzeria. You can purchase whole pies or get pizza by the slice through the restaurant’s grab-and-go window. The slices are thin and large enough to get that classic New York fold, giving you a nice crispiness in each bite. Pro tip: get the Hot Honey Pizza, which is loaded with two styles of pepperoni before it’s drizzled with hot honey. It’s one of the best pizzas in Omaha.

Mootz
The pizzas that emerge from the giant wood-fired oven at Mootz might not be authentically Neapolitan, but they’re downright delicious. These neo-Neapolitan pies give you the soft, delicious chew, but without the flop. Their 12-inch pizzas are perfect for enjoying solo or ordering several to share with a large group.

Lyle’s Pizzeria
Lyle’s Pizzeria employs a sourdough crust, which ensures each pizza is light and very digestible. You can eat an entire 12-inch pie here and still have plenty of energy to go to a game or enjoy the festivities around Charles Schwab Field. But before you leave, make sure you get a Mozzarella & Pesto Roll—this mountain of carbs is one of the best appetizers in Omaha.

Backlot Taphouse
Like Izzy’s, Backlot Taphouse is all about Detroit-style pizza. But there’s much more than pizza at this Aksarben hangout, which is one of the best Omaha sports bars. Backlot has 29 taps, many of which highlight local breweries like Site-1 Brewing, Kinkaider Brewing Company, and Infusion Brewing Co. There are imported and national beers as well—plus an entire fridge full of bottles and cans. And with TVs on every wall, you won’t miss any of the College World Series action even if you can’t make it to the stadium.

Noli’s Pizzeria
The highlight at Noli’s Pizzeria is their New York-style pizza—the owner is so obsessed with getting it just right that he even invested in a machine to replicate the pH levels of New York water, which legend says is what makes the pizza there special. But Noli’s also serves fluffy pan-style Grandma pizzas, making it a versatile spot for CWS visitors eager to try all kinds of pizza.

La Casa Pizzaria
An Omaha staple since 1953, La Casa Pizzaria is a local favorite, but CWS visitors rave about it as well. The pizza dough is flaky and buttery—almost like a thin biscuit—and every last inch of the pie is loaded with toppings. La Casa is famous for its Classic Hamburger Pizza, which has so much of their well-seasoned beef that it practically becomes its own layer.

Williamsburg Pizza
Created by legendary pizzaiolo Nino Coniglio, Williamsburg Pizza started in New York and opened its Omaha location in 2023. It’s famous for its Brooklyn Round Crust pizzas, which have a crust that’s crispy and firm but still pliable enough to fold. Williamsburg also offers Grandma Square Crusts—thicker pies with a crispy, buttery bottom. Whichever style you choose, you’re in for an authentic New York pizza experience.
