Don Carmelo's makes classic pizzas without all the flair that many establishments seem to lose themselves in. Well cooked, awesome price, reasonable wait time and still tasty after a quick drive home (we ordered takeout). I would have loved a touch of flavor/seasoning on the crust, but otherwise a perfect classic pizza. Will definitely be ordering here again! read more

Don Carmelo's Pizzeria - Pepperoni Pizza Each Additional Topping - Pizza Near Me - Elkhorn, Nebraska

One of the most disappointing experiences at a local pizza shop. We waited over an hour for 3 pizzas. As can be seen in my picture, it was not particularly busy. Pizza finally came and was not worth the wait. Was a very basic pizza. Crust had a store bought like quality and just really disappointed. Unfortunately the toppings did nothing to help. Always willing to give a place another shot but it's not going to be a place I feel as though I have to hurry back to. read more

Only taken Togo from here, but we love it! Good sized personal pizzas and the crust is best part!

The service was perfect and the staff was super sweet and friendly which already started the experience off amazing! The pizza was great, we didn't love the bread sticks but the pizza was so good it didn't matter! Overall loved! read more

Didn't stop in tonight but had it delivered. Pizza does not disappoint. Was quoted 40 minutes and arrived early which was fine with us. Reasonable price for the quality compared to others in the area. read more

Ordered cream cheese pepperoni pizza. Got a burnt cardboard with no cream cheese. Family couldn't eat it. Expensive. Never again.

The pizza here is very delicious! We ordered a XL size pizza (NY Finest & All Meats combination). I would like to give a five star review but this pizzas is a little pricey. We tip $5 and our total bill for one XL pizza was $40. I loved the crust and the ingredients on the pizza! In addition, they have very friendly staff and the restaurant was clean. FYI, I ask the staff if they offer any coupons or promotion and they don't. read more

This is my first time visiting the establishment. The staff were friendly, and the facility was clean. The prices were reasonable and the food was very tasty. I would recommend this place for hosting meetings or parties, as they have a massive party room off to the right. read more

Love that this is a family run business and the Popeye and Olive Oyl pizza was excellent! read more

Excellent New York Style pizza. Easily some of the best in Omaha. Steady and consistent. Pretty good bang for your buck, too. The XL zza is massive. There have been a couple times when the pie could have stayed in the oven a bit longer, but that's pretty rare. The Strombolis are damn good. Order at the counter, but the staff and service is very friendly. Great place to pick up a pizza. read more

First for me @ Don Carmelo's pizza. I was not disappointed!! We were celebrating our son's birthday and since we couldn't eat out due to COVID-19, we brought it in. Love the thin crust. Tons of droppings. A large pizza is HUGE!! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Don Carmelo's Pizzeria - Happy Birthday, Kyle! - Pizza Near Me - Elkhorn, Nebraska

Hands down the best pizza in Omaha. I'm not really supposed to eat dairy but I'll step out and risk my health for a slice of this pizza. This is the pizza place to go if your parents are in town. The pizzas are all prepared freshly and on the spot for you and come in a variety of sizes from a 8" mini to an 18" x-large. If you don't want to financially commit to a pie but want to try it out, they do have lunch specials where you can order a slice. read more

If you want a laid back, family friendly pizza joint with great ingredients this is the place. The veggie calzone has large chopped fresh vegetables and wonderful crust. read more

The pizza was amazing and the timing was exact. I asked for the pizza to be done at a certain time, and I arrived a bit early and it was just getting put in the over because the pizza was supposed to come out exactly at a certain time to be ready for pickup. I like not having cold food. read more

Probably some of the best pizza I have had yet in Omaha. You can't really compare it to any other place around here. It has its own flavor. The sauce is really tasty and the crust is one of my favorites. I got a meat lovers and it was a little greasy, but thats expected. It tasted amazing so thats all that matters. Its also pretty pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for. This pizza is good and idk how its not more highly recommended on Yelp when you search Pizza in the area. This is definitely one of my favorite places to go now! 5 stars without a doubt! read more

Don Carmelo's Pizzeria - Large Meat Lovers - Pizza Near Me - Elkhorn, Nebraska

Fantastic New York Style pizza! I had not realize that they close on Saturday at 8pm, order 15 minutes before they closed. It took me 10 minutes to get there and my pizza was waiting. Hot and delicious! I'll be back. read more

Don Carmelos has a great menu of options to serve everyone in our home- including 2 little boys. I actually bypass the pizza (even though it's hot and delicious) for the anti- pasta deli salad. Heaven with fresh meat, olives, pickles and Italian dressing. My son loves the cheese bread and my husband any type of pizza. read more

Heading to Elkhorn, Nebraska and had less than an hour before my sons baseball game. We looked around and there was a DQ, Subway, Burger King, Arby's and then we saw Don Carmelo's. We hadn't had their pizza for years so we thought we would give it a go. Our waitress was both friendly and attentive. We ordered our meal which was their largest pizza and a side salad. The pizza came out hot and in my opinion was fantastic. I enjoyed their New York style pizza with fresh toppings. So glad we stopped and plan to go there again when in Elkhorn. The ambience in the restaurant is very plain but both the food and service were excellent. Love their pizza and the salad was good as well. We were able to order eat and make it to the ball fields within an hour! Great job everyone at Don Carmelo's. We will be back! read more

Not a bad pizza place. The XL pizzas are freaking massive and could easily feed two people if you are very hungry. The server was super nice and we had a great time here. We ate the pesto chicken and the everything pizza (kinda like a supreme). The pesto was definitely better. Pretty generic pizza in terms of quality but definitely delivers on quantity. read more

Poor service. Over priced. Basically paid $10 for a dab of iceberg lettuce & a cut up chicken strip that they called a "Chicken Salad". Mostaciolli tasted like red sauce out of a can. Used to eat pizza here & it was fabulous. Not so much anymore. Won't be back. read more

Authentic food from a legacy of honor. Don Carmelo's Pizzeria is a community jewel. Far from the mass-produced, their menu is the product of generations of hard work and sincerity. read more

LOVED IT! The sauce was seasoned perfectly! Cheese was yummy and stretchy like I like it. Crust was a nice texture and very tasty. Just a delicious New York Style Pizza!! Best of all- It wasn't overly greasy! read more

we had our son's rehearsal dinner here and we could not have chosen a better place in every respect. The party room is a work of art. The food was absolutely delicious. Tony and Amy are a 10+team. You won't find a better place. I would give them 5+ if possible. read more

This has to be one of the top 3 pizza places in Omaha. My family has been eating at Don Carmelo's for as long as I can remember. I have had pizza in New York and this is very close to the NY style. I'm glad I live near this location now so I can get their pizza whenever I have the craving. Check it out! read more

Good pizza but very pricey and they don't have thicker crust, but I'm giving it three stars because the pizza is still pretty good

Their pizza is excellent, it tastes homemade and it not full of grease. It's not a place where we dine in very often because the lounge is not very inviting, but trust me if you are after great pizza in Elkhorn this place is great! read more

honestly subpar food but only open four hours a day when clearly states on the internet and on here that they're open all day not just for four hours super disappointing really wanna give this place my business for lunch but they don't really care read more

Don Carmelo's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Elkhorn, Nebraska

Good: New York style pizza and great that you can order by the slice with a lot of different toppings. Not good: their salad is just iceberg lettuce with nothing else. Seriously, the salad is a joke. The completely crappy: their iced tea is out of the fountain. Oh, they try to fake you out with the container that looks like it is brewed, but trust me it isn't. After falling for that trick 4 times, I'm hoping I have it figured out. I really don't think it should be legal to call that stuff out of the fountain tea. It blows. Other notes: it's about as nice as a subway inside. I'd take a group of kids here for pizza after a ball game, but I wouldn't suggest it for a "go out" dinner. Perfect for a quick weekday lunch though. read more

Discovered DC a couple of days ago and ordered them back to back. What an awesome family owned business with history. You are our family's go to place for pizza! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Not sure if we missed the lunch rush at 1 PM but it was quiet when we arrived. Order at the counter. Pizza delivered to your table. It's that easy. Pizza was New York style but fell a little short with the crust that just wasn't floppy enough in the center and doughy enough on the crust. But the sauce, toppings (pepperoni and sausage) and cheese were all in the right amounts. If you find yourself in Elkhorn, stop in. It will be worth your time, as it is measured in pizza. read more

This is the best pizza for your buck. I love this place, wish they still had all their locations.

Decided to order in at the Home 2 Suites and found that this pizzeria delivers. Pizza was very good New York style baked to toasty brown (ordered veggie, and it was loaded with them). Antipasto salad was nice blend of meats, and veggies. With tax, delivery and tip a bit pricey, it was worth it to be able to stay in and have the food delivered A service note: We asked that the onions be left off the pizza. Not only did they do this, but CALLED BACK and asked if we wanted them left out of the salad! (we did). Fantastic. Delivery was timely. read more

I went in Don Carmelo's today on Sunday, five minutes after it opened. I was the only customer dining in the restaurant. I saw the TV was on a repeat of the Texas/Oklahoma State football game that was played on Saturday. I asked if the TV could be switched to an NFL game. The waitress said, "No NFL games can be watched in Don Carmello's." I saw the lady who I thought was the owner. "I can't watch an NFL game?" I asked. She said it was her husband's decision. He came out and said I could not watch the NFL because the NFL had disrespected the flag. I decided not to have my sandwich if I could not relax and watch a live football game while I ate. I had one swallow of Diet Pepsi before I made this decision. Don Carmello's charged me $2.86 for my ONE SWALLOW of pop. I have eaten in this restaurant probably 100 times since it opened. I will never ever set foot in the place again. How rude to a devoted customer. I guess the owners think it is patriotic to treat their customers like this. read more

My favorite pizza place!! Great flavor and HUGE slices!! They have cold beer and even carry Peroni which is my fav!!! Very friendly staff!!

Don Caramelo's offers a good NY style pizza. The thin but crunchy crust was tasty. The pizza itself was cheesy with the right amount of toppings. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is reminiscent of a church basement. If they spruced up the interior it would get an extra star from me. read more

LOVE this pizza, especially if the owner makes it. I cannot know why but, it is better when he makes it. He has even taken care of my order because he was there already, even though the store wasn't technically open yet. So, it was just him and me. He's awesome. The restaurant itself is clean but pretty plain so don't expect a lot there. Someday maybe they'll upgrade that part out in Elkhorn. Their dining room in Rockbrook Village is a way more "upscale" looking but quite a bit smaller. They have, by far, the closest thing to NY style pizza that I have been able to find in the Omaha metro area. I've been going here for probably 17 years and it is so delicious. The calzones and strombolis are also great. The brownies are pretty good and the cheese bread is okay- that honestly is not my favorite so I don't get that anymore. The staff is usually quick and helpful. TL;DR- Yummy pizza read more

The atmosphere was pretty much simple and more 1970s decor and style. The food was decent, pizza was New York style, pasta was okay, and stromboli was about average. The service was pretty good and the meals were affordable with ample parking. We would come back but take out would be our recommendation for pizza and appetizers. read more

Sorry to say I did not have the same positive experience on my second visit. Will admit that the food was good, but the service was atrocious. I stopped in with my son for a "quick" dinner. We were fortunate to be there before a private party arrived, so actually received our food in a reasonable time, but then the problems began. I tried on multiple occasions to get the attention of our server, but she repeatedly ignored us. They were clearly under staffed for the private party and their dining room suffered. We waited patiently for more than 30 minutes just to get our check before finally going to the counter and literally having to beg to pay our bill. We will not be back anytime soon. read more
