    I honestly didn't expect to get seated right away at a packed downtown spot, but we walked right in! The food and service were totally on point. They have an awesome build-your-own salad bar, and the garlic bread starters were so good. We got the Clam Strips and the Lobster Sensation, and I also built my own pasta combo with Spicy Italian, red clam, livers, and mushrooms. I'm not huge on cheese, so I had to sauce and spice it up my own way, lol! Huge shoutout to our server, Tabitha, who was amazing and made sure we were taken care of. Fair warning: it's a massive place and gets pretty loud, but the food makes it absolutely worth it.

    "The salad bar is good" seems to be the overwhelming theme of reviews of Spaghetti Works and I would agree. It feels a bit like a lower end knock off of a Spaghetti Factory without the charm or much flavor in the food. It's serviceable and probably good for families but outside of the salad bar I would probably skip it if I was in town again.

    We came on a Monday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant wasn't super busy and we got seated right away. The service was quick. We loved the salad bar! We also got the refillable pasta bowls and each one came out super fast. I liked the pasta but it was nothing amazing. My favorite sauce was the Cajun Alfredo. The restaurant was huge and has tons of seating. It's a place I'd go back to but not go out of my way to if that makes sense.

    I like coming here from time to time. Have been going there since I was a child. Service is usually really good but they do tend to get crowded. Skipped the pasta today and just had a salad bar for lunch. It was perfect! I love their salad bar although I did find some chunks of lettuce that were definitely spoiled.

    The possibilities are endless! It is a very family friendly restaurant with friendly service. We love the endless pasta bowls with the mix and match pastas and sauces, and of course the salad bar. It is a true bargain and the theme throughout the restaurant is unlike many other spots downtown.

    Spaghetti Works- chicken alfredo

    We walked all around looking for something to eat and ended up at Spaghetti Works. It actually reminded me of Spaghetti Factory with the old timey feel and decor. Service was mediocre at best. Our server seemed annoyed to have to serve us but whatever. Maybe she was having a bad day? Food was just okay as well. I think the best part for me was the salad bar. I opted for the eggplant parmesan and spaghetti with meat sauce. I make a better meat sauce TBH and the parmesan felt like it wasn't heated all the way through. Mr had the chicken parmesan and he said he's definitely had better and the spaghetti with red sauce needed something. The only person happy with her food was our daughter who got the chicken Alfredo. Even the complimentary bread was sad, literally looks like the stuff I buy in the frozen section of the grocery store. I'd say the only thing they did right, the cheese curds. We love us some cheese curds, why do they only have them in the middle of the country?

    We were walking around downtown looking for a place that we wouldn't have to wait for. We were seated right away and took in all the fun decor around us. I liked the variety in the menu options and the high affordability of items. We ordered the beercheese spaghetti and their pick 3 trio entree (clam sauce, meat sauce, and beer cheese), each entree also gives you unlimited access to their salad bar. I liked the salad bar options, there was so much to choose from. Staff were good about maintaining the salad bar which was nice. The staff that waited on us did have much of a sense of urgency even when they were very full of patrons. We waited for 10 minutes before getting our drinks and having our orders taken, which left us a little unhappy, however, food was served up quickly and quality of food was good.

    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!

Every single one was delicious and made perfectly. That was too many pizzas for us but we wanted to try them all. (Kinda like Pokémon) Coupled with the local hazy IPA after a long day out. It was a home run for sure. The prices were reasonable and waitstaff was kind and courteous and helpful. The restaurant was clean and spacious and the bathroom was shared with an ice cream place (more on that later) but it was clean and easy to find. Don't hesitate to try this place. You won't be disappointed!

I can confidently say this is one of the better examples of the style I've had in Omaha. I ordered the Taphouse pizza with grilled chicken, bacon, green onion, and beer cheese sauce. The crust was the highlight. It was thick, airy, and focaccia like on the inside while still getting that crispy, caramelized cheese edge that makes Detroit style pizza special. The toppings worked really well together, and the pizza had a great balance without feeling overly heavy. The one thing that surprised me was just how massive the pizza is. The squares are deceptively filling, and what looks like a reasonable portion quickly turns into a challenge. I could only finish about half of my pizza and happily took the rest home for leftovers. Beyond the pizza, Backlot has a great atmosphere with a nice beer selection and a laid back taproom feel. If you're looking for Detroit style pizza in Omaha, this is definitely a place worth checking out.
