Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

I am a huge fan of Frank's pizza. I fact so huge that I could go there right now and get some even though I just ate. I love their pizza. Its probably the best New York style pizza joint in this town. The place doesn't look like much. Its in a strip mall with a furniture palce, a mexican joint, and some offices; next to a hy-vee. The interior features some wood laminate tables and booths. And its one of those order at the counter and sit down kinda places. But none of this matters. The pizza is so good. Its the perfect ratios of crust, cheese, sauce, and toppings. Its just greasy enough to ensure you know you have a great pizza but not so much that it drips all over the place and makes the crust all soggy. A large will feed 3 or 2 if you are super hungry or just love pizza. You can also get beer (peroni or blue moon) on tap or wine. We usually order 1 garlic cheese bread, a large with assorted toppings (basil, garlic, sausage, etc) and a beer or two each. Tab runs about 30-40 bucks.

I went here with a group of coworkers on a Monday afternoon. Pizza by the slice is always easy and affordable. 2 slices of pizza and a soda for 6.07 comes with no salad if you choose this option. I'm not a pop drinker so i choose the lemonade, but it was on it own dispenser next to the pop machine connected to the water. WARM, not connected to anything but the bag in the box. I don't like ice either so this made it worse. Drinking warm lemonade yummy (not). The pizza by slice came out and the slices weren't the same size... Maybe that's just how they do it? Nothing to special about the sauce. I know it comes out of a can because i saw the pizza cook sprinkle spice on top of the sauce before he added the cheese. If it was homemade, there's no need to add more spice if its done from scratch. The toppings weren't that filling either, No wow factor here. The hamburger is seasoned and this made it OK. The dough had no taste to it. New York style pizza dough made without any salt in the formula? Highly doubt this is what pizza taste like in New York. Cross contamination with the pizza cook as he makes a pizza and then handles register duties and then back to making pizzas. Hand washing needs to be remembered here when everyone can see what your doing be hide the counter. Bathrooms weren't that clean either. Did you know that most people that dine out rate bathrooms first? If the bathrooms are dirty i wonder what the kitchen looks like? Just some advice.

Finally, NY Pizza in Omaha! Zio's doesn't even come close. After living in Brooklyn, NY for around 50 years it was so wonderful to find a true NY pizza in Omaha. Just the right amount of oil and oregano, mixed with special flavors and NY attitude give me my fix as needed. Thanks Joe!

The Yahoo! Sales Team is all in when it comes to Franks Pizza. Thank you for a wonderful team lunch! What a great change up from the typical Jimmy John's lunch. We still love Jimmy's but Franks will be our pizza and wing spot from now on. If you're looking for a good slice of pie New York style look no further it can be found in Omaha. Thank you Frank's Pizza!
(5)Ross P.
The pizza is hands down the best I've had in Omaha. I downgraded my rating to four stars because the owner can make you feel very uncomfortable. If he is in a good mood, he'll talk your ear off. If he is in a bad mood, he'll stare at you without talking, and pretend he doesn't know you. Also, keep your girlfriends close. He'll flirt with them all day.
(4)Stewart W.
Tried Frank's again as several friends are big fans. Basically same experience as before -- slices taste good but don't have enough integrity to stand on their own, which is where a nice plate and silverware would come in handy instead of flimsy paper plates and plasticware. But this time added cannoli for dessert and it is the best cannoli I have had in quite some time. Don't know if they make it themselves or if it is supplied, but can see stopping by just for cannoli takeout.

Had dinner here tonight. I'll give three stars because my daughter loved the kids spaghetti and tomato sauce. My fiancé and I got a pizza with beef, green peppers, black olives, onions and mushrooms. I read a lot of great reviews but it looks like I made the mistake of ordering too many veggies on my pizza. The onions were undercooked and the green peppers were watery and overcooked. The mushrooms were sort of clumped on there with the rest of it, and with all of that, none of it was that flavorful. I would have liked to have been able to have a lot more flavor from the sauce and cheese. If I ever came here again, I would do just a cheese pizza.

I was told about this place two years ago when I moved here from Brooklyn..I honestly don't know why it took me this long to come here! Walking in was like walking into a traditional Brooklyn pizzeria-the tables and benches, the red pepper and parmasean shakers, the photos on the wall...the only thing missing was the different displays of all the pizza to choose from, that's ok, I like my plain cheese slices....so apparently they sell by the slice at lunchtime, and so I asked for two slices! And I got two cheese slices that tasted like I was transported to my neighborhood in Brooklyn! Turns out the owners son went to high school in my neighborhood! Anyway, the pizza is legit! Too much oregano in the sauce I think but the crust is great, the cheese has traditional pull! All you could want in a cheese slice! Now, it doesn't beat my nabes pizza place, but it is th closest thing Omaha will get to NYC style pizza! Also, they sell the cutest mini pies that cater to Omaha small pizza pie taste...the slices In those come out great as well!

My family has spent time in New York and I've missed the pizza ever since we left. Thankfully, we have Frank's in town, which is the closest You can get to NY style pizza in Omaha. It does not look like much, but this little pizzeria is pretty close to my fold-in-half, juicy, thin crust pizza straight out of New York. Not too much crust that you can eat more than one piece and not too crunchy that you can fold it in half easily. The restaurant has little benches and tables to sit at, just like my favorite pizza shops in Brooklyn, and a TV to watch any sport you desire. Most people order Frank's to go, but I like to eat the pizza right when it comes out of the oven. The pizza is a tad greasy, but hey, that's NY style pizza for you!

I was at the Costco and was starving when I was done shopping. I had mildy contemplated the Costco pizza (it was ready to go) but thought I should find out what else Omaha has to offer (I'm from out of town). I drove there and placed an order. I had the meat lovers pizza on a new york style crust. My god. The pizza was amazing. I felt like I was on Canal street in Manhattan. Staff were friendly and the pizza was ready in about 10 minutes. I couldnt wait till i got home to eat and snuck some pizza in while driving.
(4)Beth W.
The cheese pizza was good as expected but we thought we would try the veggie pizza as well. Big mistake. It was piled with Overly cooked green peppers that looked like canned jalapeños but tasted gross. It was super watery and also full of undercooked onions to balance the overlooked peppers. It was the ugliest pizza I have ever seen. It looked like my two year old made it. Very disappointed. Though the cheese pizza was good, the fact that frank would try to pass the veggie off like that means we will not be back.
(2)Todd G.
In the early 90's I had some pizza in New York City. My first bite of Frank's pizza gave me a flashback to that slice I had in Manhattan. And no, there were no mushrooms on the pizza. I found Frank's light, crispy crust to be as authentic as it gets. Other diners at our table found their crust to be a little undercooked but otherwise delicious. Our kids complained that the pepperoni was too greasy. Too greasy? That's what real pepperonis do... they sweat a little bit. If you think the pizza is too greasy, take off your sock and mop it up. It's kinda like complaining that you got wet when you went swimming. I'm not downgrading my ratings based on other people's experience. I believe that is hearsay and not admissible in a Yelp review. The decor is kind of cool with a lot of NY shout outs mixed in with local stuff and a bunch of autographed photos of people I don't know. What Frank's lacks in fanciness it makes up with beer posters taped to the walls. It's a little hard to find but well worth it if you need some authentic NY style pizza.

If you're looking for NY style pizza in Omaha, Frank's is the place to go. Friendly, down to earth staff. Good prices and killer pizza. Pop in for their lunch specials sometime!

Buffalo. Chicken. Pizza. Say no more. New. York. Style. Sold. Been here twice. Once for a culinary tour and a second time because I couldn't stop thinking about the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Which I would NEVER order. But because we got some as part of the tour, I had to try it. And guys, it's good. The buffalo sauce is tangy and spicy without being overwhelming. The blue cheese is funky and creamy and delicious. You can crack the crust and fold the slice in half and devour it. Dough is light and airy but crisp and firm enough to go at it without cracking the crust. This is good pizza. Plain and simple. And Frank's staff is friendly and helpful. If you're lucky, you'll go in for dinner with a few New York transplants and Frank and his guest will carry on about the Jets or Brooklyn or whatever. It's a great pizza joint. Eat here.

I was here this afternoon just to try their lunch special: Two Pizzas and a soft drink for $5.25 ( I added the Meat Lovers extras for $.75 each slice). My order was announced for pick up within 10 minutes, the two slices making up about a third of a medium sized pizza. Thin crusted, and a little light, you need to fold it in half to really enjoy it properly. Without adding any seasoning they were a very satisfying New York Style. I've had their calzones before, but their pizzas are their specialty. At 1:00 they were still pretty full, my table was cleaned right after I sat down.
(4)K H.
This is my favorite pizza in Omaha and luckily for me it's located about 2 minutes from my house. Jalapeño and pepperoni pizza from here can't be beat! They also have pretty tasty cannolis, which can be somewhat hard to find in Omaha.
(5)Kari S.
I give a 3 overall but for omaha it's probably closer to a 4. My family owns several pizza places in New Jersey at the shore and this summer will have their first food truck. So am I an expert kinda. This is good fresh pizza. Dough has nice flavor. Sauce was a little to light for me and the fresh garlic a little to heavy. Cheese is good. Now the garlic cheese bread the bread tasted like card board which is odd as it should be the same as the pizza but maybe they are using older dough. It was very thin so maybe cooked to long not sure. Maybe both. The owner is from New York they told me. He wasn't there not sure how much he is, but that could be part of the result. Non New Yorkers/ east coaster making the pizzas dough and sauce could be doing it a tad wrong or not the same.
(3)Shelby B.
Really about a 3.5 but have been in the mood to round up lately. This is a true pizza joint. It's a small place located in a strip mall, with about 10-12 tables. Order at the counter, with the guy taking your order covered in flour (that's a good sign!). Nothing fancy inside with fountain drinks, an okay beer selection, and some really basic wine options available by the bottle, which is a little odd (drink up!). We had some calamari as an appetizer, and it was simply okay, nothing to get excited about. The pizza is the star here. Nice thin crust New York style pies. Definitely foldable, greasy, and tasty. I opted for the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It had a good amount of diced chicken, ranch and blue cheese, with a hot sauce base. I felt the dough was a bit undercooked on this pie, but I still thought it was tasty, and polished off the leftovers for lunch the next day. I had a slice of the pepperoni from my groups other pizza, and it was cooked perfectly. Definitely some good NY pie! Plus if Alexander Payne and Clayton Chapman like this place, they must be doing something right...
(4)Robert L.
I'm sure I'll get disagreement, but I think this is hands down the best and most authentic New York pizza in Omaha. Can only speak to the pizza but it's only one of two in Omaha where you can fold the pizza. And if you can't fold it, it 'ain't NY pizza. Small little place, friendly people and cold Peroni on tap.
(4)Michelle G.
I stopped in and got the garlic knots and the Sicilian meat lovers. the server was so nice and even left off the bacon, ( bacon on a meat lovers icks me out. I love bacon. but I don't really want it on my pizza I think it puts off the flavor but that's me) the garlic knots were so delicious I didn't have enough room for the Sicilian in all its glory. one piece knocked me out. that pizza was HUGE. I have serious leftovers. the meats were delicious but the crust is what I loved. its a thick one for sure but the crispy outside and the soft inside paired with that lovely sauce Delicious! next time will be the new York crust for me to try.. YUM!
(4)Chuck P.
It's been a while since I've been to Franks, but as I walk in the door I'm instantly reminded of the deliciousness I'm about to experience!!! Their NY style pizza is the best one can get in the Midwest, and it's great to support a local business owner! From playing cards with friends, to watching playoff hockey with my dad, this place has great memories for me and my family spending time together with amazing pizza!!! Hopefully I'll be out this way again soon. Keep up the good work Frank!!!
(5)Charles G.
Every time I step through the door I feel like I've been teleported to New Jersey, from the decor all the way down to the baked ziti. That being said, it's all about the pizza for me, and though I've been coming here off and on for a few years I've never had a bad pie. Nice thin crust, with just the right amount of give: pick it up, cradle it, and chow down. My two personal favorites are the Pepperoni and the Meatball. (No need to get fancy, folks.) I kick in an extra star because I can't think of a better New York-style pie in Omaha.
(5)Shaynna G.
I was visiting from out of state and tried Franks based on Yelp reviews WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! We had the garlic cheese bread and a sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom pizza. The crust on the pizza was thin, crispy, and so delicious. Our food came out pretty quickly which was great. I would definitely come back here again and recommend it to others.
(5)Emily W.
After reading all the great reviews I was excited to try Frank's for the first time. We ordered cheese bread, a pizza, and the lemoncello cake to go. Everything seemed to be ok until we got to the last two bites of the lemoncello cake... and that is when I noticed... the MOLD. Eek!! Yes, I said mold...totally disgusting. Even worse knowing we had already eaten the rest of it. It ruined the entire meal and had my stomach turning the rest of the night. I gathered myself, remained calm and called the store the next day for two reasons: 1. to tell them to throw out the moldy cake! and 2. to give them a chance to make it right. Had we been dining in a restaurant and come across mold, the manager would have been mortified, apologetic, and most likely would have comped the entire $22 bill, right?!?! That is not what happened at Franks. He took my credit card info and offered to refund me the price of the cake. Yes, a whopping $2.99!! Thank you oh SO much for paying me back for eating your moldy cake! When I said, "that's it?" with an attitude, he said, "well the rest of your food was fine right?" I was LIVID. He could have really turned my experience around and I would have given them another chance (maybe), but to be fed mold, have bad customer service, be stingy, and then give me an attitude on top of it all when I am the customer?! No way. I was shocked. Never have I experienced something like this. Eat up folks but watch your plates closely!!!

Simply put, Frank's is the only place I go to when I want pizza. I really mean it. I don't go anywhere else when I want pizza. I'll drive there even if it's snowing or I'm sick as a dog. Now I am admittedly biased, because I am from the east coast (NJ), and Frank's serves the best (and so far only one that I know of) NY style pie in town. I've been living here in town for about 7 years, and thankfully I discovered Frank's not too long after I got into town. I've been a loyal customer since. I usually stop in at least once a month at a minimum The pies are true NY style think crust, and as a few Yelpers have mentioned previously, when you order one with pepperoni (as I usually do) you're going to have a bit of greasy goodness on top. Each bite has just a hint of the right spice combinations, and each slice folds perfectly in your hand. Don't forget about their sandwiches! The Italian hoagie and chicken cutlet parm are my top favorites. Do yourself a favor. Take everything you know about the other supposed NY style pizza here in town, and throw it out the window. The get over to Frank's and get a pepperoni pie. Hands down the best in Omaha.
(5)Bob A.
Went here after paper said it was one of the best pizza places in Omaha. I disagree. Good but great. Omaha has a ton of good pizza places and Frank's is solid... but not the leader. Tried the meat lovers and franks special. Solid but nothing to write home about.
(3)Marty H.
What a great pizza joint. Had lunch there today and loved the pizza! Great tasting pizza and awesome service!
(5)Sean P.
All hail Frank's pizza. Every other pizza shop in Omaha shall bow down before its greatness.
(5)Eric P.
Best NY style pizza in Omaha. Great lunch specials. They remember your name even if you haven't been there in a long time.
(5)Charlie M.
This is the only local pizza place that isn't just a loaf of bread with some cheese on top.
(5)Chester V.
Good, not great. The decor is so typical, we get it NewYorkers and pizza joints love white and red checkered table cloths... Not this guy. Not a place that will have me craving the pizza, just the basic.
(3)Erin W.
I would give the anti-pasto salad 4 stars, but what took this review down was the pizza. My meat lovers pizza was more like a meat mediocre's pizza in that it only had 7, yes 7 pieces of pepperoni on it. There were no meatballs on it like the menu stated, only a few crumbles of sausage, and 5 pieces of Canadian bacon present on that pizza. What the heck?! We also ordered the white pizza and added 2 toppings which were also very sparse. Sauce was extremely minimal, almost missing from both pizzas. Cheese was fairly tasty and amount was fairly adequate. I was expecting so much more though. The party i was eating with was so also disappointed. Price is also high for what you get. I would return for the anti-pasto salad only. As far as pizza, there are so many other better pizza joints i would rather patronize unless frank's makes some improvements with their pizza.
(2)Shawn G.
I love pizza. I love it so much. And I love Frank's pizza. So, if you don't mind, I'm going to enjoy a slice while I write this review. First of all, if you think -- oh God, this pizza is good -- sorry, if you think Chicago style pizza is better than New York style pizza, then just stop reading right now. Chicago is amazing, but their pizza is laughably inferior to New York's. Sorry, Windy City, but that's just science. Before going in, I was very skeptical about Frank's. I'd heard such good things, but for some reason I imagined a sport's bar that just happens to serve large, thin pizzas, along side the lame, stereotypical offerings like jalapeno poppers, double -- ugh, Frank's pizza, you're so delicious. Oh, yeah, you like it when I bite into you like that? I know you do, because you're a naughty, cheesy little slu... -- oh, uh, along side things like jalapeno poppers, double dipped wings and "signature" cheeseburgers. But no, Frank's is just a pizzeria. They do have beer on tap, Blue Moon and Peroni, but make no mistake, this place exists to serve you pizza and that's about it. The restaurant is clean, simple, and looks like a pizzeria. Nothing fancy, nothing unnecessary, just tables and utensils to help you gorge yourself on the best pies in town. When we went, we started with some Peroni and some garlic cheese bread. It's basically a smaller pizza, minus the marinara, without the crust and was delicious. We downed that sucker in about five minutes. Next we had a large pizza with sausage on one half and cheese and garlic on the other. Both halves were effing amazing. The crust was crispy and just a bit chewy at the same time, the cheese was melty and greasy and perfectly cooked, the sauce was just right and the toppings were ample without being overwhelming. We -- unf, look at these big, round pepperonis. God you're so hot I almost can't enjoy you. Let's try a new position, I wanna bend you in half and go to town. Oh, oh I'm almost done, just a little left... fuuuuuu... -- er, we inhaled every slice of pizza in no time at all, leaving no survivors. My recommendation, cancel any dinner plans you have tonight and go to Frank's instead. Order the biggest pizza they have, because anything less won't be enough. Oh, and bring cigarettes, you might need 'em when you're done.
(5)Alyson M.
Love love the Pizza. A very good customer for more than 10 years. I crave it always. My only complaint is the owner. He has an attitude problem sometimes, which is unfortunate. Just follow all the rules and you can be fine. ( I guess I'll be like Elaine in the Seinfeld episode where she has to hide in a janitor closet to get her favorite Chinese) It is awesome. Don't complain or question. Best pizza. ( pretty sure I'll need witness protection or a friend, if I want it again)
(5)Jennifer S.
I went there by myself at dinner time, so unfortunately I couldn't try the pizza (well, I could've, but my pants and I would've had an issue with each other if I'd eaten a pizza...not saying that I know that from experience at other restaurants, lol). However! I came here for the eggplant parm sub I saw on their menu. I was very excited to see it, since I generally see that only when I visit my family back east. The sub was delicious! Crispy, thin bread that allowed the parm to shine. Thick cheese, yum! Just enough sauce to bind and give flavor without getting sloppy. And the best part: beautifully cooked eggplant: crisp and flavorful! We will absolutely be back to try their pizza!!
(5)Doug S.
Poor experience. Pizza was burnt with wrong toppings and $19. Three strikes and I'm out for good.
(1)Sarah G.
I was very pleased with Frank's Pizza. Though having read other reviews where people griped about using coupons I thought I'd better call first to see if I could use my soon-to-expire Groupon for take-out... the response was a very promising "no problem!" Ordered a sweet and spicy chicken pizza to go. Picked it up, paid, without a hitch. I had to have a piece immediately in the car. Gloriousness. Also, when I was in the small strip-mall restaurant (I wouldn't bring a big group here) I noticed a gargantuan pizza being shared by two dudes, and made a mental note to keep Frank's on my list for places that offer giant pizzas. Ultimately next time, I think I'll order something more traditional, but the food here is definitely in line with the best NY style pizza places in the city.
(4)Ali L.
After hearing my friend's rave about this place for months, decided to go try it today. All I can say is "WOW". This pizza blew me away. Had the 16" Special, which is essentially a supreme, and added mushrooms in place of anchovies. I took my father for lunch, and even he was impressed, stating this "tasted like his memories of New York from 30 years ago. " We each had a hefty 3 pieces (it was that good!), and still had 2 slices leftover for dinner. Also had the garlic rolls. Mmmmm. I kept some of the sauce and dipped my pizza in it. Highly recommend this trick. As a first-timer, I was delighted. I'll definitely be returning.
(5)Matt O.
I met a friend here for lunch and ordered the special of 2 slices and a drink for $5.25. I think I would have had a better experience if I ordered an entire pizza fresh. For the special, there was a cheese pizza and an employee would just listed to what you wanted and placed the topping on the cheese pizza. They put it into the over to warm and brought it right out. The ingredients didn't mix together and form the pizza I wanted. I liked the crust, but overall it was a very disappointing visit. I may give it a try with a whole pie, but I probably won't be back for a lunch.
(2)Suzanne W.
This is our favorite pizza place in Omaha (I've got the phone number memorized). We love the thin crust and the fresh tomato sauce with lots of basil. Our usual order is the italian sausage and ham. Both meats are tasty (I think they are the Boar's Head meats). Be sure to check out their lunch specials too. They are quick, well-priced and delicious.
(5)Bob G.
Frank's has the best New York style pizza in Omaha. The atmosphere isn't great, just a plain room with tables and a few TVs. If you eat in, you'll be served with paper plates and plastic silverware. But hey, you don't come to Frank's for ambiance, you come for fantastic pizza. My favorite is the meatball pizza.

Original review with photos can be found here: omahapizzareview.com/201… Frank's Pizzeria sits in the busy Linden Market anchored by the Hy-Vee at 132nd and Dodge. According to Frank's website, they've been in the area since 2003 serving true New York style pizza, and last Saturday night we popped over there for dinner. Frank's is a decent sized place with around a dozen tables for seating. At Frank's you order right at the front counter, which we did after quickly studying the large menu. We decided on an order of garlic cheese bread, a veggie pizza, a sausage and pepperoni pizza and a couple of sodas. Plastic silverware, napkins, etc. are located next to the soda fountain to your right. Our garlic cheese bread was out in a hurry. Frank's has a little twist on their garlic cheese bread, that is to say it's really not bread. It's a pizza crust with a layer of minced garlic, some cheese and herbs on top. It was certainly different and we thought it was pretty good. The Pizza Wife commented after the first bite, "Oh wow. That's good! But not as good as Bernie's Pizza Parlor." It's served with a side of marinara for dippin' and it's as crunchy and flavorful as you would expect. After we polished off the garlic cheese crust (all of it- GONE), our pizzas arrived. First the veggie pie and then after an abnormally long delay, the sausage and pepperoni followed. As one might expect from a place claiming true New York style pizza, the crust here is hand stretched, thin and cooked in one of two Blodgett deck ovens. As a result, the crust is a bit charred and crispy and slightly chewy. The sauce here is a basic tomato sauce with few, if any, spices and was used sparingly. The veggie pizza had all fresh vegetables: mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives, and as an added surprise, broccoli. However, that "broccoli" consisted of five small stalks. And so many olives! What's the deal with the overload of black olives on veggie pies? Is it because they're so cheap? Yeesh. "More broccoli, please!" says The Pizza Wife. The sausage and pepperoni pizza was exactly as it should be - greasy and loaded with toppings. Frank's uses slices of sausage, which is different than any other place we've visited to date. Unfortunately, they were less than tasty and certainly no where close to the quality of sausage that La Casa or Zio's uses. The pepperoni was good - as expected. All of the toppings were placed on top of a golden layer of melted cheese. Overall, Frank's was just OK with us, Dog. I'm a big New York style pizza kinda a guy, but I didn't enjoy the crust or toppings near as much as I enjoyed Zio's Pizzeria in March. The sausage was the biggest disappointment in my opinion. The good: garlic cheese bread that was unique and tasty, quick service The bad: tasteless slices of sausage, the "broccoli" on the veggie pizza Oven: Blodgett deck oven Crust: thin, crispy, charred and just a bit chewy Sauce: basic and used very sparingly Cheese: under all of the toppings Review by The Omaha Pizza Review Crew OmahaPizzaReview.com Facebook.com/PizzaReview… Twitter.com/PizzaReviewer

Howdy Omaha! I'm in town for a job and just dominated a delicious pie at Franks. Despite my lack of review credentials I can assure you I have had some great pizza from San Diego to Rochester. With that said, this guy makes a killer pizza. I don't give a sh!t about what a place looks like, how long it takes, if the waiter sucks, or what the vegan pizza tastes like. Its all about creating a consistent delicious representation of NY style pie...and this place does. Get a large pepperoni pie and a Peroni you won't be disappointed.

Finally, a good slice of pizza. Yes, I'm a pizza snob, yes, I grew up in NY (and I detest Chicago style pizza). So I definately think that I'm biased, but Frank's is as close to authenic as I've ever tasted here in Omaha. Well, worth the drive.

I had never heard of this place before the world herald review. Maybe that's because no one is talking about it. I liked the place when we walked in, I liked the the lady behind the counter( possibly the co-owner) and I wanted to like the pizza. It was OK on our first visit and not good on our second. The owner does have a bit of an attitude and that's fine. I like colorful people. The problem is, attitude doesn't make the food any better. The place was practically empty on both of our visits. If we would have gone to Oscars or Zios there would probably have been a wait to get in. Wake up Dude! Its not the patrons, its the pie.

I enjoyed Frank's Pizza. The place has a nice atmosphere. Small joint with a bunch of pictures on the wall. It brings the New York style pizzeria to Omaha. My wife and I ordered the 16" Meat Lovers pizza with a side of anchovies. The food came out in a timely matter and the pizza was good. Loved the crust! I also liked how they have oregano and garlic powder shakers available along with the standard crushed red pepper and Parmesan cheese. I wish more pizza places would do that. Overall a good experience. I would like to go back and see what their pasta, subs, and wings are all about. I could bump this up to 4 stars

I work across the street from this place so I've dropped by several times for lunch. Everyone working behind the counter has been very friendly and helpful. The place fills up quickly during lunch which means that they're doing something right. For me, the pizza is decent. They offer thin crust NY style pizza and a few pasta dishes, salads, and sandwiches. I actually prefer thin crust but for some reason, I don't consider this place to be one of my favorites. I mostly go here because of convenience but its a decent option.

I'm an east coaster and I've had a hard time finding good thin crust pizza around here. Frank's is the best I've found so far. Crust was not quite as thin as I like it but it came very close. It was perfectly crispy though. I took off 1 star because of the sauce. It seemed a bit watery to me. I will definitely go back for more! They had pepsi products too, yuck.

Love the pizza. A NY pizza in Omaha is hard to come by and they hit it out of the park. Their calzones are amazing. The staff is "ok". Depends on when you go in and who is working behind the counter. Also like that I can have a beer with my pizza. Small place but I must in Omaha.

Very good place! I just tried it the other day and it was some of the best pizza I have had hear in Omaha. It's good to see that Zio's is finally getting some competition. Excellent crust and toppings. The place is very friendly. I actually felt like I wasn't in Omaha It was like I step into a New York pizzeria. Very good place.

I've had better tasting cardboard than this crap... It took me almost a full 1/2 litre of water to choke this dreck down. Gad, how can anyone think this place's garbage is good? ZERO flavor, dry and hard as cardboard, barely any toppings, and the cheapest CANNED sauce you can find! He needs to go back to school and learn what real pizza is. Liz W., if you think THIS crap is close to NY, then you need to change your brand of drugs, because this is crap. No thanks, I'll buy Papa Murphy's or some prepackaged stuff like Red Baron or Tombstone before I waste my money on this crap again... If I want hot pizza, I'll go for Valentino's, or Big Fred's, or Godfather's (heck, DOMINO'S is better than this place!!). Jim

How does Frank's only have one review? Fer chrissakes, it's only the best pizza in Omaha... Don't get me wrong, Zio's is good, but nothing holds a candle to Frank's! The crust is great, the sauce is excellent, and the cheese is perfect. Throw on any topping you care to, and you have a gooey piece of art that you need to shove in your pie hole! Stop reading this and go to Frank's posthaste!

Frank's Pizza is absolutely the best in Omaha. I spent four years in Boston and, living just a few blocks from one of the great little pizzerias in the city, grew to love the pizza made there. I suppose you could call it "New York" style pizza but I'll always call it "Boston" style. Nonetheless, Frank's is the only place that I've been to in a state without a border on the Atlantic Ocean that has pizza that could be compared favorably to that served there. The crust is thin and a bit floppy, but never soggy. The sauce is delicious, but never overwhelming. The toppings are all fresh. There is absolutely nothing to complain about with this pizza. Yep, I've been to Zio's, and they don't stand anywhere near Frank's. I may still prefer the pizza that you can get in Boston or New York, but going to Frank's is certainly quicker and cheaper for this Nebraskan. Give it a try.

I can't believe no one has reviewed this place yet!! The guy I bought my car from told me about this place. He used to be a firefighter in NYC, and said it's the real deal when it comes to New York style pizza. He was right....I love this place! The owner is from Brooklyn, and they do NY pizza right: thin crispy crust, delicious toppings, and that sauce....something about their sauce really adds to the overall deliciousness of their pizzas. The garlic rolls are really good too...dripping in olive oil and garlic. By-the-slice lunch specials daily until 2pm. Located in the HyVee shopping center at 132nd & Dodge.

Frank's is pizza just like you would have at any New York pizzeria, which means it is pretty good, but I just prefer a place like Zio's in Omaha or Yia Yia's in Lincoln. The crust is quality and the ingredients are quality, but I just am not a fan of true New York pizza I guess. I have been to New York a couple of times lately and they all taste the same to me. They are good but nothing too special.

Frank's is the closes to NYC pizza I've had anywhere (besides NYC, of course). My husband and I love this pizza so much we go there about once a week. The crust, sauce and toppings blend perfectly. I also, personally really like the antipasto salad there as well. This is a must see for all pizza lovers in the area.

Love Franks! The best I have had since moving to Omaha. It is the crust that makes the pizza great. It is a very good thin crust with a good tomato sauce.
