Nice draft beer selection. Several local breweries as well... Ordered starter onion rings which were half price and very good. Menu allows you to convert any pizza, sub or flat bread into any format ( ex. Pizza into a sub or flatbread into a sub ingredients). I ordered the chicken, bacon, chipotle sandwich toppings into a flatbread and it was AWESOME!!

The interior of Dudley's is pretty straight forward. Sports bar feel in the bar area with tons of big screen tvs and pool tables; quieter in the dining room area. Nice selection at the bar and a patio for you to enjoy your pizza while people watching Aksarben Village goers. I've been here a few times for both lunch and HH. You can find a better beer selection elsewhere and not all the appetizers are winners but the pizza is delicious. Worth the trip for a personal pan.

I've had their food twice. The first time was great. The second time was a to go order. The breadsticks were not as good this time. A companion found their pizza seriously overhyped. The burgers are ginormous. The onion rings are ok. The fries are ONLY good when hot. Otherwise they are kinda icky.

I've been here three times. The first time was soon after they opened. We had a great experience, service was wonderful and the food was great. Within the last six weeks, I've been to Dudley's twice. I am completely underwhelmed. I will admit I have just had appetizers. Service was lacking. Both times, we were seated outside. We had to wait over five minutes both times for our server to acknowledge us. Also, both times it was Happy Hour but we were not given the Happy Hour menu. Tonight, when I asked for it, it took another five minutes before they brought the menu. This evening, my friend ordered pizza and fried pickles. She had no complaints about the pizza. This is the description of the friend pickles: "Huge slices of Kosher dills" The pickles were very very thin slices with very thick batter. They tasted like grease. Old grease. The taste made me think they had not changed their fry oil in a long time. We commented to our waiter but he didn't really acknowledge our comment. I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Loaded Sticks. I just wanted a bite, not an entire meal. I asked the waiter if they were good. Oh yes he said. They weren't. They were supposed to be stuffed with bacon and cheese blend and topped with green onions and Wisconsin cheddar. They were topped with a few very thick onions but no additional cheese. They again tasted very greasy. I wish I had a better experience. I think the service makes a big difference too. Both time, our servers just didn't seem too interested in us. And the food runner, he brought the food, said "can I get you anything else?" and when I asked for crushed red pepper he asked for my servers name? Really? I think they have went downhill. I will say my 9 and 13 yo like it a lot. They love the freshly baked cookies.

Dudley Did Right and hit the spot for me. The pizza is only 2.5 stars for me (see my Pizza lists for strong competition) as it was just average crust, but the toppings were unique enough, and definitely better than chain pizzas. They earned the extra stars for good quality menu, great soup, fast/friendly service, and good bar offerings. I was staying at the hotels just up the street from here, and it was either the Sports Bar or this place, and I am glad I choice Dudley's as they still showed sports, and the food was much better quality. I had to try their pizza as it is in their name, but the menu has other nice sounding options including burgers, sandwiches, and such. I started with the tortilla soup and it was fantastic... a little kick to it, but super tasty. I went for a build my own pie. I didn't like all the sauces on the namesake "Dudley pie", but I went for the flank steak, bacon, red bells, and fried pickles on my pie, and it was quite good and unique. A little too thick of a crust for my liking, but it filled me up nicely. The beer selection is quite good, and be sure to ask them about their rotational/seasonal offerings that didn't make the printed menu. I was there on a Tuesday night, and there was Trivia going on in the bar which made it a little noisy, but looked fun. They have several TVs along the bar wall which made for easy watching of both NBA and NHL playoff games. I definitely would come back to this place.

With a happy hour that runs from 3-6 that includes select half price appetizers, discounted beverages and $5 one topping small pizzas, a nice option for folks looking to grab an affordable snack prior to a movie. We ordered the onion rings at the HH rate (pretty good), the french fries at the HH rate (really good), the peanut butter and jelly wings and jamaican jerk wings (not so much a fan of the PBJ, because I can't get past the PBJ-chicken mix) and a small sausage pizza ($5). I was also interested in trying some of their other pizza combinations (especially the Dudley which features fried pickles and bleu cheese), but by then, we were pretty full up on clearance food and beverages. A delightful patio that can get a bit breezy, if not downright windy. Service was good but slowed down significantly once the patio got busy with adult couples, ladies out with friends and families with small children. We'll definitely be back during these warm weather months when in search of a locale mid-townish with a patio, a snack, and a nice place to relax.

Dudley's is a good place to take the family for an early dinner. It's loud, so the kids can be loud. The booths are comfortable enough to settle in for a bit. And the beer is good enough .

Everyone knows bar pizza is a hit or miss. Dudley's hits a straight Bulls-eye with their American Steak pizza. It all just melts in your mouth - we ordered the beer that they recommended pairing with it & were blown away! If that wasn't enough, how about the fact that the inside of the place is very well kept up, the price isn't too bad for Omaha, the service is top-notch & QUICK, & that playing pool there is free! Guess where we're going to eat next time we are in Omaha? Keep it up, Dudley's! Way to go. You are a very integral part of Aksarben village.

If you are trying to go here with a group, forget about it. We tried to contact them via email and phone 7 times. We NEVER heard back from them. Worst customer service ever. We have 20 people wanting to have dinner in the Aksarben area. This was our first choice and now will be our last. Of I could give negative stars I would.

I have been hearing great things abut this place so I finally tried it out for lunch today. The owner was just on a radio show and was given some Feta Cheese to play around with and he decided to try out a Greek Pizza. I had them change the red sauce to a pesto based sauce and it was excellent. Crust was done just right, not too chewy, not too doughy, but substantial enough to hold its contents. They recently had a New Holland Tap Takeover so I had a flight of New Holland with the pizza. They recently had a Boulevard Tap Takeover, so keep your eyes on their nice tap room.

This place is delicious!! Honestly, I can't get away from the signature pizza, "the Dudley" which will blow your mind. From time to time I find myself lusting after it. The rest of the menu looks amazing as well. The pizza alone is delicious, but the crust is basically a bread stick itself. It doesn't take long for the food to get out and you can usually choose to sit on the patio, bar, or restaurant side. The bar has some massive TV screens and can be a little louder, but this place is definitely worth a stop.

Holy god...where have I been? Well I did a lot of exploring and moving around whilst riding D'Brickashaw, the Food Loving T-Rex, so I have lush backlog and almost no time! So...let's start with the most recent. I spend ample time with my niece, because I'm awesome, and this outing took us to Dudley's after many of people said, "Eat here."in a few more words. So why not? I love pizza and cats. Bring it! We went in sometime in the early afternoon and were seated immediately and tended to in quick time. Gold banana stickers were issued. I ordered a spicy virgin bloody mary because it's Sunday and I don't touch alcohol and meat. Oh yea, FYI...I quit meat so I had to say goodbye to hotwings. The sorrow but I have my reasons. Anyways, 2 bloody marys were pounded and they were good and spicy. Nana sticker! They did have a bloody mary bar goin on but I told them to have the bartender to hit me with her best shot. She did...I approved. Beverages were enjoyed as we awaited out starter: The truffle salted romano pub fries. Once they arrived...those lil guys never stood a chance. They had a good crispness to them and the seasoning was on point along with the dip we got for them. They were torn up on till our pizza arrived. Being as we both don't eat meat, we got the Margherita pizza and also because, in general, that's a damn fine pizza! First thing I noticed was the crust...that huge ring of crust that dwarfed this pizza. Now it was a very good crust but I only saw it as off putting because that was most of the pizza! While the core part tasted awesome, the pizza itself was incredibly thin compared to the outer ring! It looked like Saturn, minus the planet!! Was it a good pizza? Yes! But did it look like it had a pan pizza crust with a thin crust body...yes. But at least that crust was good. Knowing what I know now, future visits will come with a dip for my breadsticks aka pizza crust. In closing I can say the pizza was great but it seemed unbalanced. That's not a game ender and some people may like it that way. But it was a lil off putting but the fries, bloody mary and quality service still give this a high recommendation from me!!! Now go forth!! Eat up, Minions!!

I just haven't been able to make myself go to Dudley's due to some mixed reviews. The opportunity finally came up when there was some perfect spring weather and was looking for a place to dine outside with a friend. I love their outside area, and apparently many others had the same idea on a Tuesday evening because the outside patio was packed. Not sure they expected the crowd, as the service was quite lacking. Aside from that we decided to get some appetizers. We ordered a small sausage pizza and an assortment of wings. I'm really not a big wing eater, but have to say these were pretty tasty. The pizza is what really surprised me. Was expecting it to be just okay, but it really was good. I will definitely be back on a nice day to enjoy the patio and pizza. Hopefully they will gear up the servers in anticipation of such perfect weather days!

DO NOT ORDER THE CHEESECAKE OR APPLE PIE! Oh Dudley's, how I wanted to love you so. I went to Dudley's this past weekend to celebrate my friends' birthday and it was a disaster from the get go. My wife and I were the first to arrive out of a 10 person party. I put our name in and we waited, and waited, and waited. We waited an hour for a table to free up. It's not necessarily the restaurant's fault, but get bigger tables or move some around to make a 10 top. The manager told us a few times that they were clearing off a table for us at that moment, but we still had to wait 20 more minutes for a table. He was very apologetic but at that point, I didn't care how nice he was. My wife is pregnant and hungry. After waiting an hour, we just wanted to order and eat. We were sat at out table. We gave them our drink orders and our food orders and waited about 15 minutes for our food to arrive. It was an okay speed considering it was a busy, Friday night. When we actually received our food, half of the orders were wrong. I ordered 10 wings, half peanut butter and pepper jelly, and half Jamaican jerk. I got five peanut butter and pepper jelly, and five garlic Parmesan. I told her and she gave me my five Jamaican Jerk wings about 10 minutes later. The wings were small and meatless. The peanut butter and pepper jelly was unique but not enough to bring me back there. The Jamaican Jerk and the garlic Parmesan were just okay. Another person's order was wrong, so they gave her a new sandwich. And a third order was wrong too, but I don't remember what was wrong with it. The waitress, (I believe her name was Jessica), seemed very frazzled the entire time. I'm not sure if she was just overwhelmed or what the deal was. At the end of the night, my wife ordered a piece of apple pie for dessert and one of our friends ordered a piece of cheesecake for dessert, to go. Both were such a joke for $6 a piece. The piece of cheesecake, I kid you not, was about the size of a normal door key; same with the apple pie. (Forgot to take a pic since I was so pissed about the size.) I took the cheesecake up to the manager and asked if it was supposed to be that small, and he said no, went to the back for about 5-10 minutes and brought it back out. All he did was squish another piece, of the same size, into the original piece to make it look bigger. I then asked the manager if the Apple pie was normally that small and he said yes. He probably just wanted us out of there since I was complaining all night about our issues. I was just fed up. We paid and left, never to return.

Cleanliness 4 Service 4 Food 4 Likelihood 4 1-5 (5 Best!) 4.0 I like this pizza a lot. We had dinner with friends, and we all like cheese pizza. So we each brought pizza from two different restaurants each. Dudley's was thee most expensive pizza. The cost would prevent us from having it more often AND we would certainly choose it over "chain" pizza. Good job!

We were sad to see Mojo's go, but Dudley's seems to be doing great! It always seems busy when we go, but never so busy that you have to wait for a table. The pizza is good, although I wish there was less crust and more toppings. The crust takes over most of the pizza, especially on the 8 inch. The green garden veggie pizza is my favorite, and I'm usually an extra-extra-pepperoni kind of girl. Lately my go-to order is the pesto burger, with grilled chicken instead of beef. The chicken has an amazing smoky flavor. The other burgers have a little too much going on, but the pesto burger is perfect and simple, although last time there was way too much wilting shredded lettuce. The side salad is surprisingly good! Fresh diced tomatoes and green onions, and no iceberg lettuce in sight. They have a small list of cocktails, though I wish they would add more (Mojo's had a huge selection!) The LOL Smileyface drink is pretty yummy (and hilarious to order). But the best thing is their fried pickles. I am Southern, so I'm a little particular about them. These are amazing--sliced longways like a sandwich pickle instead of the small slices. The batter is perfect and crispy; Reminds me of what you'd find on fried fish for some reason. Overall, Dudley's is one of our new favorite places to grab a quick meal!

Ya know when your craving a wet, juicy burger and an ice cold beer? Well---this may be your happy place (que Zen music). Disclaimer: Place can get loud and busy---so be aware. Tip: If you want a little quiet, ask for room away from bar--problem solved. Now to the beer. Tons of tap beer choices--and two sizes to choose from. Yummy. I got the burger---built my own (which they will do). Best burger I have had in a long time. My dear wife got the salad with chicken. The salad is huge---so much so I got her leftovers (score). Salad was fresh and the strips of chicken were nicely cooked. Pizza. We got the white pizza with artichoke and pesto---OMG---a perfect appetizer to share at $10.50. Last but not least the staff: In a word---awesome. So nice to see management that is kind and also cares. We ran into Rachel R. who I believe was the FOH manager. She introduced us not only to her restaurant but had tidbits on local places to visit. Our server was sweet and kind, attentive and guided me through the plethora of beer selections-----You're awesome Maddie!!!! Bottom line---it's not fancy but the food and service are 6 stars (Oh wait, Yelp only gives 5). Seriously----just sit back, enjoy the cold beer, stellar service and awesome food and leave with a smile (and full belly). Cheers

My daughters and I stopped here for lunch on a Friday. The decor is nice, the staff friendly and the food and prices so-so. We ordered fried pickles, an 8" pizza with white sauce and cheese and a bacon chicken wrap of some sort. I may have the name backwards on the wrap but you get the point. First off, and this is just my humble opinion, but fried pickles should be chips not cut length-wise. Why you ask, because they're easier to eat, you take a bite of a long pickle and the whole pickle comes out and your left holding the breading. Okay, that sounds a little odd. Chips are easily eaten in one handy dandy bite. As usual when I get ranch dressing at a restaurant it was runny and just dripped off the pickles. Plus for the price, they were like a buck a piece. Give me a wing instead. The pizza was the highlight, great crust, the sauce was spot on and it was loaded with cheese. I'm trying to find something to complain about but I honestly can't, guess this is why Pizza is in their name and not Pickle. The wrap was just okay. For what it cost it was rather small. The flavor was good but it lacked something. It seemed that the tortilla to stuffing ratio was weighed towards the tortilla, which unless I'm mistaken, is backwards. It did come with fries, which were all stuck together in one large fry ball. Not sure what happened but it was a little odd. My biggest gripe about Dudley's is their lack of a lunch menu, when I order an appetizer and two entrees and drinks, I think $34 is a little over the top for lunch. Especially with portion sizes, the wrap was small, the pickles were infrequent and the pizza was 8". Yes, I know in this day and age it's probably about right. But in Omaha, I have had way better lunches for a lot less money. And those are the places I will be seeking out on my next father-daughter lunch date.

Delish! Not only are the owners pizza moguls but they are COMEDIANS!! The menu was tastefully comical while still explaining what menu item consisted of. I had the Dudley Pizza and Blue BBQ Wings and Jamaican Jerk Chicken wings. Also tasted the peanut butter and Jelly wings!... yum. The pizza was amazing. I am really not a huge pizza fan but this pizza looked too good to not try ... it was delish with a great creamy sauce drizzled over the pizza. The cheese stretchy... the crust was perfect. Amazing pizza. Pizza comes out in a pizza stand... nice touch. Now the wings were THE BEST in town!!!!!!!! Different flavor than other wings that I've had! Super delish. The bleu cheese n bbq wings were excellent and seasoning perfectly. The Jamaican Jerk chicken wings were great. Not too spicy... and sprinklings of green onions on top of the wings. I was not brave enough to order the Peanut Butter and Jelly wings... so I asked to taste the sauce which was very good and I will have it the next time. The waitress said that it was their best seller. They also have a choc chip cookie pizza where the kids can add dif toppings to... Will be doing that next time as well.... with or without kids ;) The service was excellent. Very attentive and extremely NICE!! Can't wait to go back here!! And try other pizzas on the menu... all to which sound amazing.... Also, you can get any pizza on a sub... In addition to the pizza, I want to try the salads and a couple other appetizers.

This is my favorite pizza place in town. The owners are very nice and accommodating, and the food is fantastic. I love how they let you experiment in building your own pizza, as well as transform the pizza into a sub. The bread (and the pizza crust) is so good - you can't go wrong either way. I recently had the Thanksgiving special as a sub, and it was really good. This is also a fun place to play trivia. And don't forget the brunch pizza on Sundays!

Came here with a couple girlfriends this week on one of the few nice nights we actually had and enjoyed dinner and drinks on their patio. The service was good, we were asked if we needed another round of drinks promptly and my water stayed refilled (this is important for me, I drink a lot of water). For dinner, we ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza to share and it was delicious! Just enough heat from the buffalo sauce which was balanced with the bleu cheese on the pizza. The crust was excellent and we all dipped it in the honey that was provided on the table which was a nice treat. Overall, I would definitely recommend Dudley's if you're looking for a good pizza place in town with good service and decent prices. For 2 drinks and my share of the pizza my total was $20 with tip.

We met up with some friends at Dudley's on a Friday night. We should have made a reservation because they were pretty busy. We arrived at 6:45 with a "25 minute" wait. 25 minutes turned into 55 minutes. My husband went and asked the manager and hostess several times how much longer it was and every time it was "10 more minutes." We weren't offered anything but a small sample of beer. Drinks and/or water would have been nice. We were in a party of ten and our waitress was awesome! She was attentive and fast, even thought she may have been overwhelmed. The menu had a wide variety of meal choices including pizza, wings, burgers, typical pub food. They even had interesting combinations and flavors such as peanut butter and jelly wings. There pizza of the month was Thanksgiving pizza, which I thought was very inventive. I ordered the chicken avocado ranch sandwich with fries and everyone else put in there order including the Thanksgiving pizza on a sub (any pizza can be turned into a sub sandwich). Our food came out one by one. The server said it was because the food would have died in the window. Working in the restaurant industry, I know that different items get cooked at different times to get all the food out at once. once the food started coming out, there were several items missing and wrong. Half of the party had to send theres back in order to get it correct. Once everyone had their meals, several were almost done or finished. To top it off, a friend and I ordered desserts to go. The cheesecake was literally one inch in width. It was the saddest silver of cheesecake I've seen in my life for $6. Many of the restaurants I've worked in had dessert come pre sliced so they were consistent every time. My husband (after we'd already complained about quite a bit) approached the manager and asked if that was the actual size. The manager said no and went and added another slice of the exact same size. I couldn't believe they were trying to sell that small of a piece for $6, when the picture showed a mammoth piece of cheesecake. Overlal, I was super disappointed with the oveall experience of Dudley's. The only thing was was substantial was the server and my food. I'm not sure if I'll return.

They have booze now and make a fine drink. I bet not too many people leave the crust on the plates here. This pizza is like two separate meals. You get the topping part (quality fresh toppings) and sauce (very tasty sauce) on the thin crust part of the pizza and then get to eat this doughy, flakey, thick hand braided crust at the end of your slice. That crust is amazing-you can taste barley and hops in it and pairing with beers should be a requirement (they have suggestions on the menu). My server was good. Got just the right amount of service quick. She had other tables including one with 16 people and I did not feel neglected at all. Similarly laid out like the previous tenant, Mojo's...but less sports bar and more nice eatery feel to it. They still have lots of big screens in the bar area though. I look forward to making this a regular stop and bringing friends with next time so I can split some of these wings everyone is talking about.

So.. had an amazing piece at a fair this summer. Mother in law in town and we decide to splurge and get 2 mediums for carry out. Splurge is key word. 36.00 for 2 small mediums. $2.00 a piece of pizza! No where close to park for carry out or handicap. They told us 25 minutes. I was there in 27 minutes. Pizza was already cold... and the dough was uncooked. I'm calling now. No one was impressed.. at least not for $2.00 a piece. I'll update on how they handle it. Update*** The manager actually read this. I had called by it was very busy. He sent message and took care of the issue in a very professional way. I am sure that had the pizza been hot... it would have been as delicious as it was when I had it previously.

Went back again yesterday, this place is Great! Service, food, atmosphere, its all great! We started with the fried pickles again. They are one of the best fried pickles in town. The did change the presentation, and I think they look even better! For my meal, I had the Peanut Butter Bob burger. Had peanut butter and a fried egg on it as well as a bunch of other stuff. It was great, very messy, but it tasted really good. I had a side of the Truffle fires, and they were good as well and came with a great dipping sauce. My wife had this interesting Manager's Special. It was a peanut butter and Jelly pizza with chicken. It sounds funny, but was Awesome! Great Local restaurant that I would highly recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had the 12" pesto pizza and split it between two people and had one slice left over for lunch the next day. I am fairly picky about pizza and I was impressed with the pizza we had ordered. I went during Monday night football and they gave us an option of sitting in the louder bar side or not. Our food came pretty fast too and service was excellent.

I was here for a retirement party. The drink selections was good! I had a Kansas City Fizz, which was interesting (gin, lemon, beer, lavender) and tasty. The evening was catered. Everything looked delicious, but I didn't have any. Their menu has a lot of choices so I'm guessing I could find something I'd like if I came in for a meal. It was an unusual circumstance for a restaurant. As a result, I don't have a lot of detail. Parking is a bear, to say the least!!! Although I do believe there is a garage somewhere. I'm not all that familiar with Aksarben village. Dudley's is certainly A-OK in my book.

As you'll see from my reviews I am not by any means a very critical person so this review is honestly hard for me to write but I feel like other people need to be aware of what to expect. As you'll see in my last review I had an amazing experience at Dudley's my first time there. It quickly became my new favorite in Omaha. I raved to my friends and family about how awesome Dudley's is. For my birthday we got a group together to go to Dudley's and it was the worst dining experience I've experienced in years. When we got there we told them we had a party of 8 expecting a wait due to our group size. We were told 15 to 20 minutes. At 55 minutes they told us a table was being prepared and then it took over 20 more minutes to be seated only after asking the manager several times. Totally unacceptable Our waitress was decent but seemed flustered and was inattentive most of the time. Of the 8 orders we had 4 were not even the right food we ordered. The waitress was kind and replaced items with the correct things but after waiting over an hour the last thing we wanted to do was wait an extra 30 minutes for food which we did. The list of negative things could go on and on and I wish I could say it was just the waitress or cook or something specific but the fact is it was a complete and total breakdown of the restaurant and customer service process that a consumer should expect. This saddens me as This experience has taken Dudley's from a personal favorite and a restaurant I have highly suggested to tons of people and made it a restaurant that I will caution everyone I know to avoid at all costs.

Steak pizza? Yep. Delicious. Buffalo chicken pizza with a schmear of blue cheese on the crust. Yep. Awesome. There are other pizza here, too. Normal ones, so to speak. I really enjoyed the specialty ones and will be back for more. That steak pizza is dangerous... I could eat a large one myself!!

If you want to go to a pizza place with a good beer selection this is the place. They have quite a few beers to choose from including locally brewed beers. The staff were adequate but not spectacular, didn't know the beers as well as he should have and they were selling a hefeweizen as a pilsner and it was obvious it wasn't a pilsner. The pizza was okay but, nothing to write home about. The bar is noisy but that is okay and the dining room was quiet except for the kids. The patio is mostly for the people who smoke. I would go back to have a beer maybe not to eat.

Pros: Decent busy sports bar atmosphere if that is what you like. Very chainy - like if Applebee's ran a sports bar. A very good selection of craft beers - if all you are after is good beer than this is a good place. Okay pizza, but overpriced. (I've actually had better Margherita pizza at an airport fast food joint.) Food and beer came quickly. Check came quickly and was picked up quickly, with quick change. They're definitely trying to churn and burn tables. Cons: Rather breathless and "chasing your own tail" service. Years ago I was a waiter and I recognize what it looks like when a waitstaff is in chaos. This was chaos. My waitress did not know what was in the restaurant's most basic pizza (a Margherita). Or I should say I asked her what sauce it used and she gave me an incorrect answer. The food came out fast but with no silverware. First waitstaff I asked for silverware promptly disappeared (probably because I wasn't her table, and that's how waitstaff acts when in chaos - ignore distractions from tables that aren't yours). My actual waitress got it about 5 minutes later when she swung by to ask how things were going. Overall, for the price I would not return. There are better places for pizza.

I have been waiting to write this review until I had a fair sampling of their offerings. I have visited three times now and I think I have it figured out. The staff here is great and the pizza is good but I personally would not stray far from it. I have enjoyed both pizzas that I have ordered but other items such as fried pickles, steak nachos and a salad were mediocre at best. The fried pickles are too heavily battered and greasy, the steak on the nachos has that "fake" precooked taste and the apple vinaigrette salad was lackluster and didn't even include all the ingredients listed. This place is WAY better than the restaurant it replaced but there is still work to be done.

What a great place to eat!! Not only was the food fantastic, the staff was amazing. We ordered a 14 inch pizza but were mistakenly given a 12 inch. Rather than taking the pizza away and making us wait for a new one, the owners ( yes, the actual owners...both of them) told us to go ahead and eat the 12 inch...then proceeded to bring us a free cookie plate and our original 14 inch order. As if this wasn't enough, the owners also brought us a sampler plate of the PB&J wings. And, I have to say, the PB&J wings were a home run...so delicious. Seriously, go try them right now; your mouth will thank you.

This was grossly disappointing. Caesar salad was drenched in dressing. Pizza was literally all crust and really tasteless. Big disappointment. Oh yeah and expressive

They have some of best hot wings in Omaha! We tried the Dudley pizza and were not disappointed; it tasted even better than it looked. What a delicious blend of ingredients, especially the creamy garlic sauce drizzled on top. The braided crust and unique sauces illustrates the extras that make this gourmet pizza a serious step above other places. Yum!!! Even the menu was cute, clever and fun to read. I have to also say our waitress was wonderful, prompt, attentive and friendly. They know what they are doing all around, no need to go anywhere else for pizza after eating here.

My husband, daughter and I went and hung out here for the first NFL game of the season. To start the fried pickles were amazing - best I've ever had. We then had build our own pizzas and honestly the crust was to die for. Super thin for the toppings but soft and thick for the crust. The service overall was fantastic. The only reason I'm putting 4 stars is because the dessert fell a little flat, especially after all the great food before it. We ordered the brownie sundae - the ice cream was way too soft and the brownie tasted very store bought. That said the staff member helping us have us a small discount on the dessert because it was our second choice (they didn't have our first). So overall - we'd be back in a heartbeat!

This place was a surprise, I really liked it! The pizzas are great and the wings have just the right crispiness (I love the Jamaican BBQ wings). It was mega crowded when I came but after a short wait we had a table. They show Creighton games here and they have a decent bar. My order was slightly wrong but they quickly rectified it and I left very happy.

First trip to Dudley's was worth the drive from Smallville. This is not your typical pub and pizza place. The pizza's are unique in flavors, combinations and presentation. For appetizer, Peanut Butter and Jelly wings. Don't bother with anything else! It's creative, playfull and fun food. A full list of beers to choose from, the large is very large. All in all, a fine experience with fun food and wait staff.

I have gone to Dudley's now a few times, and it is nice to see them grow over time. I was initially skeptical about the place because of the location (the last two restaurants in the same place were always a ghost town and closed down shortly after) but when I finished watching a movie at the Aksarben Cinema next door, the alluring smell of pizza drew me in. They have a nice variety of pizzas, and some of the items even have notes suggesting which beer to pair it with, which I though was nice. I tried their 'Dudley's' pizza the second time I went there and it was certainly interesting; it had fried pickles on it. They also had more traditional styled pizzas as well which were delightful

This pizza is amazing! I admit that I am not usually a "crust eater" but I gobbled up every last bit! Went for a late lunch, service was spot on; no issues. Menu has lots of choices- pizza, apps, salads, and wraps. Probably some of the best restaurant ranch dressing I have put in my mouth. Decent prices on drinks. Bloody Mary bar, Mimosa's, and special brunch pizzas were on special on the day we went, but we ended up ordering the Chicken-Bacon-Spinach pizza and it was a full on party on the taste buds! I hope this place sticks around for the next time I travel to Omaha. YUM! I am a total fan. Great Pizza!

A decent spot to catch a game on TV, or grab a burger, beer, or slice after a movie.

First of all, their menu is so awesome - as someone who pays attention to design and aesthetics, their menu definitely won me over. I also love they list beer pairings for all - literally, all - of their dishes, even down to the Chocolate Chip Cookies, which appear on their menu two separate times. Speaking of said Chocolate Chip Cookies, you should get them. They're freshly baked with a sprinkle of sea salt, and you get four giant ones in an order, and they're perfect. I was impressed that they were even warm out of the oven for us when we placed a to-go order. The Truffle Salted Romano Pub Fries were very good, but the best part about these fries was the sauce that they came with - a creamy roasted garlic sauce that we used on the fries, our pizza, and then basically licked clean. Liquid gold. For pizza, we ordered the Green Garden sans mushrooms. You just never know with veggie pizzas, but thankfully Dudley's didn't skimp on theirs. What really shines is their crust, as others have mentioned. The malted barley syrup used in the crust adds a certain sweetness that makes their crust uniquely delicious. I was on the fence about a 5th star, because the prices on pizzas seem a little high to me. We ordered the largest size, which was $21 and smaller than expected. But overall, great addition to Aksarben Village and looking forward to trying more of their pies.

I ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad to-go for lunch and it left quite a bit to be imagined. I thought with it being the highlighted salad on their menu that it would be quite a bit better. The chicken was grilled and tasty. The dressing was pretty good. But that's where it ended for me. The ratio of toppings to lettuce was bad. There needed to be a lot more tortilla strips, a lot more salsa and it just felt like something was missing. My advice would be to spice it up a bit. Make it something to be desired. I felt like I could have gone to Runza and gotten the same salad, even better for a lot less money. Add some cheese! Put a spicy salsa on the side. Maybe add some black olives and guacamole. Definitely won't be ordering that salad again. Might have to try the pizza and do an updated review.

Beer samples, what more could you say. I had a tough time deciding on which of their many draught beers to have so the waitress brought me samples of all 3 I was considering. For dinner I ordered the house namesake, the Dudley ... simply amazing. Apps were parm truffle fries and pb&j wings. Fries were worth the trip alone, wings were good but the pepper jelly dipping sauce was good with the wings or the fries. Dudley's deserves all the high marks it has gotten.

Great place with awesome pizza. However, we went last Friday and they were understaffed. We assumed a few people called in. There was one girl waiting an entire section. She was doing her best in spite of her circumstances, so we made sure to tip her well and not complain. The hostess didn't give us our utensils, so we assumed the waitress thought that had been done when she brought our food. We couldn't get her attention, so we went and got them ourselves. She got a huge party of about 15 and no one helped her. We will definitely still eat there, but if they are understaffed, I think those that are there should chip in a little more. I like to think we are fair people, so we weren't going to get upset, but I can see some moron throwing a fit. Again, we felt bad for her and she was doing her best with the circumstances she was given.

We had a great night at Dudley's celebrating with a friend! We had appetizers and every one of them was delicious -- crispy fries, yummy wings, and the best cheesy bread sticks in town! Our server Ryan did an excellent job of helping us mark the occasion and we will definitely be back again!

I have been to Dudley's about 3 times now, and I have to say, this is my new favorite late-night hangout. The first time I dined here, the b/f and I tried 10 boneless parmesan wings and 2 8-inch pizzas, the Dudley and a pesto chicken one. The sauce that covers the parmesan wings is amazing, but I have a special place in my heart for great parmesan sauce, so this one was an easy winner. The wings themselves were not all uniform in size the times we have ordered them, though. Not a big deal in my book, but if you are sharing, may be something to think about. On another trip, we tried the peanut butter and pepper jelly wings. Too sweet for my tastes, but they were definitely novel and worth a go once. I imagine the peanut butter sauce best served slathered between two pieces of white bread and a glass of milk. The pizza here is definitely a real gem. The Dudley was about $11.50 for an 8-inch and the pesto chicken was similar in price. Acceptable for the bold flavors and enjoyment we received from eating them. So what's on The Dudley? It has steak, fried pickles!, and more of that delicious parmesan garlic sauce. YUM. The crust of the pizza is pretty much a soft, warm breadstick. Perhaps not the highlight of the pizza, but a pleasant surprise nevertheless. The pesto chicken pizza was delicious, but it was easily forgotten next to the bold flavor of The Dudley. Beer selection is decent. About 10-12ish beers on draft and many, many bottles from which to pick. The menu also pairs a beer selection with each item listed. Awesome! The only hiccup we experienced out of the times we were here was service. I don't think you can be a high maintenance diner here, be sure to order everything in one go. I'm sure their service will improve as the restaurant progresses. Dudley's has a normal and late-night Happy Hour, so be sure to check out the website for details. I'll definitely be back many, many times.

Excellent pizza crust. No liquor license yet, but apparently they will have one before the end of the year. We had to ask for silverware and napkins, and for my kids apple juice a few times. Other than that, servers were attentive, and let us know that the kitchen got backed up, so they brought out some chips and salsa to fill the void until the pizzas came out. Did the Hawaiian style and Cheeseburger pizza, both were top notch! I think the crust is where it's at, thicker but airy, crispy and buttery. I also think the sauce ratio was perfect. Over sauced pizza can really ruin a pie in my opinion. This was one of the few places open on Christmas, but I will be back in the future. We really enjoyed the pie!! Give it a try....

Dudley's has amazing fried pickles, and the loaded breadsticks are to die for. Pizza , sandwiches, wings, etc are all very good. Atmosphere is good, outside patio is comfortable and always a good time. Highly recommend, especially if you like pizza.

Wonderful experience again! I has the steak nachos which I couldn't make it through half. My wife had the BBQ pizza...amazing! The cheese breadsticks had almost as much cheese as a large pizza. This place never fails to impress! Good job to everyone there!!

Try the Peanut Butter Bob. Sounds weird but its amazing. My husband and I and our two young children had driven from Boulder, Colorado that morning and got into Omaha, Nebraska and just wanted some good food in a low stress atmosphere. We lucked out with Dudley's. Very low key, the waitress was great, and knew the menu well. She admitted to never having the Peanut butter Bob but said many people liked it. So I took a chance and was so glad I did. Big juicy burger cooked perfectly. Crisp bacon, a warm gooey egg oozed amazingly over the whole thing. I appreciated that it was wrapped in paper since it is a very messy meal. Kids enjoyed their meals, as dud my husband. I would definitely go to Dudley's again and would recommend it to my friends.

Dudley's is my new go-to spot in Aksarben. The pizza was really good. Not the best but definitely in the upper echelon of pizza joints in town. It's similar to Villagio but better executed. I can't wait to go back.

We had originally planned to go to Jones Bros, but they were out of gluten-free bread for my best friend. The lady behind the counter suggested Dudley's for the gluten-free pizza crust option. I am SO glad she did! The restaurant was really nice, atmosphere-wise - there was a short wait which we didn't mind at all. There was even a little space heater built into the wall in the area we were waiting - super thoughtful. We had an excellent server, great food at great prices - and the menu was a riot to read. One of the brothers who owns the place came by personally to check on us, and he was a fun person. His personality definitely shines through in his business, and he gives impressive high fives. I was surprised how on top of things everyone was for it being such a new establishment. Kudos! All in all, a great experience, and we'll definitely return.

Wow, what a perfect place to relax with some pizza, a cold drink, and good friends! Stopped in for dinner and was very impressed: Friendly and prompt staff, super clean, comfy seats, great music that didn't drown out our conversation, and some really delicious food! Got the PB&J chicken wings based on yelp reviews, and was surprised by how tasty they were: it really is a peanut butter/grape jelly sauce, with a Chipotle raspberry(?) glaze dip. Dinner was the 14" Stockyard, which easily fed three people without being expensive, and if you like thick crust this is some of the best you could ask for. The owners even stopped by to chat for a bit, and you can see that they work hard to create a great experience for their customers. Very much looking forward to the next time I'm in Omaha so I can visit Dudley's again!

Pizza here is great. The cheese is quality stuff, and the crust is perfect, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. The cheesy bread sticks were delicious, with the cheese baked on the inside, not the outside. The pizza came out really fast and one of the owners actually came to our table to check on how things were. Will definitely be coming back.

Evelyn W.
I stopped in here for a pizza and wings a week ago. I have been here before and think they have great PB and J wings and a great Freight-liner burger, but their pizza is the worst I've ever had. I have tried the pizza now 3 times thinking, they can't possibly mess it up again, and I'm wrong every time. The crust is always half of the pizza, it's hard as a rock, chewy and cold plus their is barely any cheese or toppings on the pizzas and they are way overpriced for what you get. I would rather eat a gross $1 totinos pizza from the grocery store then ever eat Dudley's pizza again.

Megan G.
I've been to Dudley's a few times now and it has either been packed or empty. Either way the place is average. I've had slow service mostly. The staff don't seem to know much about the menu, maybe because it is a newer place. The pizza is okay, I've had much better and worse. The crust is good, but thick and if prefer more cheese on the pizza. Not a bad place to eat, but nothing special.

Abi W.
The steak pizza...my mouth waters just thinking about it. Absolute perfection. The truffle Romano fries are amazing as well. Everytime we've been, the service has been fast, nice and quiet. Love this place. That garlic crust should be on every pizza ever made.

Disclaimer: Only giving it three stars because its still pretty new and have some kinks to work out. The Good: -Ambiance was great, love the remodel. -Love that there is a separate dining area if you want something more quiet, but there is also a bar side if you want to grab a beer with friends and catch a game. - Peanut Butter and Pepper Jelly wings. I was a little skeptical at first, but its the perfect amount of both the PB and Jelly. - The Pesto pizza was GREAT. Perfect amount of pesto and all the other ingredients, I loved it. - Crust was great, it was an added breadstick to my meal. The Bad: - service was a little slow, but they are still working out the kinks and to be fair they were pretty busy (which is great, I love seeing a new business busy) - They ran out of the sauce they normally service with the PB&J wings, so they gave us ranch. In case there was any doubt, peanut butter and ranch do NOT mix. Ranch does mix with the breadstick like crust though, so it all worked out in the end. - Margherita pizza had a lot of garlic on it. A LOT. So, if you like garlic and don't plan on being close to someone anytime soon I would recommend it. It was not my favorite. The Ugly: - They don't serve alcohol(yet). I hope that changes soon because their menu lists the perfect beer to pair with each type of pizza...but you can't actually order that beer yet. No beer with pizza?! Blasphemy. I have high hopes for this place, especially since its right next door to Aksarben Cinema - perfect place to grab a bite before the show!

On vacation and decided to stop in for GF pizza, double pepperoni and sausage sub, and drinks. My husband ordered a side salad and was not impressed; a little pretentious for this joint. The GF pizza was OK. The toppings and sauce were yummy, but the crust was a little over-cooked. He RAVED about the sub sandwich--would go there again and have it. Really liked the atmosphere, but the bartender was not super friendly.

Tom K.
Freight liner burger (which I was told to come here for) was OK, nothing I would scream about. The pizza all around me looked very good and that's what people talk about here so I would give that a whirl next time. Great place to catch a game and for big groups. Service was great other than that the bartender had less of a personality than a piece of cardboard. If I'm around this area I'd come back, but once again, I'd go with the pizza...

Jorge C. Q.
We've been here three times since it opened and there is a reason my friends and I call it 'The Dud'. First off, the food is solid for a pizza joint. The pizza tastes fresh and, like everyone has said, the crust is delicious. The PB&J wings are great (if you can get them to bring you jelly sauce). The service, however, is iffy at best. We've had great service on the restaurant side, but we were terribly neglected on the bar side. We would go 30 mins or more without anyone coming over. The atmosphere is mixed. The restaurant side is family-centric, but the music was too Country for my taste. The bar side is nice. Great seating for sports, two pool tables, but no darts (boo). The lighting needs to be turned down a bit on both sides. I feel like I was being interrogated with those LED lights. I would like to give this place more stars and maybe I will someday. Yes, I understand they've only been open for a month or so, but the lousy service and mixed atmosphere is still a no-go for me.

I have eaten here twice now and picked up to go order once. In case you do not know this...their pizza is AWESOME! I love, love, love their crust. Now, on that note...why isnt that fabulous breaded love incorporated in other items...like the breadsticks and croutons? Their salad was AWFUL...but I might have stomached it if it had breaded croutons :) Went there the other night to watch the Creighton game, sat at the bar, great bartender gal! We decided to split a small pizza and try a salad. we ordered the apple vinegarette. It was basically a bagged salad from Bag N Save, which included brown lettuce, hard croutons and a few sprinkles of parmasean. Awful! The dressing was decent. Please, please, please re-evaluate the salads! Ordered the choclate chip cookies, yum, warm, chocolate! Although after ordering them, we realized we could order 1 with ice cream. I would definitely do that...maybe this week :) Great neighborhood joint, great pizza, good craft beer selections. Just wont be ordering any more salads :( Oh and the PB&J wings...oh wow :) yum yum.

Every time we go here it gets better. But I don't think this place can get any better than it did after our last visit. The beer list is still amazing! We also had a half hamburger half chicken bacon spinach artichoke pizza that was incredibly delicious! Our waitress insisted on bringing us sauces to dip the crust in which put the pizza over the top! Both owners stopped by our table to check in with us and tell us the history of the restaurant and how they developed some of their recipes. One of them, upon learning we had yet to try the peanut butter and jelly wings, brought us out a complimentary plate to try. They were some of the most delicious things we had ever eaten - you absolutely must try them! This was easily one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. We also found out they have breakfast pizzas and a Bloody Mary bar on Sunday mornings. We will definitely be in to try those!

Food is awesome. Beer selection is decent. In the few times I've been there the pizzas are delicious and they have some pretty off the wall styles (PB & j pizza). Their French fries with the garlic sauce are beyond amazing, I could drink the garlic sauce straight if need be. They offer a variety of beer styles and brands in pints as well as pitchers in other than just Bud Light. Very impressed overall so far!

I was excited to eat here after reading the reviews, but sadly felt my meal was just average. My friends expressed the same opinion. We had the PB & J wings, and everyone agreed the coating was too heavy-handed and the overall dish lacked the heat the jalepeno jelly in the description should have. My Chicken Mole Pizza was nondescript and the hamburgers ordered by my friends were not very juicy or flavorful. Based on this experience, we all agreed we would not go out of our way to eat here again.

I genuinely feel sorry for the 2 people in these reviews that cut off their nose to spite their face by trying this place out the first week. "I won't be going back!" blah blah blah. That's ok because those people appear as though they should be spending more time in 5th grade English and less time at a tavern I plan on being at a lot. First off, as a restaurant manager with a family history of restaurant ownership, I know what the first couple weeks are like. To be honest, I don't even check a place out until month 2 because starting a business is far more stressful than most of you yelpers could understand. I wouldn't have dared go there before the booze license! But I did call once and ask if they had it yet, and the female that answered was nothing but friendly and excited that we called. Since they had it, we went. That was our first experience. My husband and I went before a movie - which has to be so annoying for this business, because we needed to eat and go in 45 minutes. Excellent service from a bubbly, cute blond gal. We told her our situation and she made it work out perfectly. She even alerted the kitchen that we had to hurry along. We had the tour of breadsticks - so good, I love dips and the raspberry chipotle is the best - a salad, and my husband turned a pizza into a sub. "Bomb." That's all he said afterwards. Balsamic dressing is incredible and the apple balsamic is also amazing, if you like a sweeter vinaigrette. Second time in, I was with 2 girlfriends and we had the guy with dreadlocks and he's my favorite because that guy is on his game. And because I love dreadlocks. He knows what he's doing. Very attentive, personable, everything was perfect. Yesterday my husband and I went back because they have Tank 7 on tap and that's one of my faves. Yesterday was also some big sports day. I don't know, whatever. It was a day that decided who went to the Super Bowl. *shrugs* Was stoked to see this place jam-packed, but was lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar, right after someone left. Great bartenders. Watched them do laps around the bar. As the bar manager for the company I work for, I know how important laps are. They constantly made sure everything was ok with everyone and rolled so in sync, you'd be surprised this place just opened. A drink did not go empty. People were getting food, closing out, they were making the tickets that printed from the servers and it was a super respectable flow for people who probably just met 2 months ago. I can be pretty judgmental in this field, as I have a ton of experience and happen to be pretty damn good at what I do :) Now let's talk pizza. HOLY SHIT. Can you cuss on yelp? The family restaurant I was talking about earlier was a pizzeria with some of the best pizza in town. THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA IN TOWN. Delicious! I've already texted 4 people to see if they want to go to lunch there today because I'm craving it again. (It's 7:45am) Being in this business for 14+ years, I am always observing. My husband constantly has to remind me that I'm not at work when we go out to eat. I approached one of the owners yesterday while he was bussing a table(!) to compliment him. I've never done that. I've never been so impressed with a new place. Welcome to the neighborhood, Dudley's! We are so glad to have you!

NIffer B.
Yum! Can really only speak to the pizza, but it was great. Loved the crust, so disappointed we don't have this style of pizza where we live. Crust is thin (New Yorkish- not crispy), with a thick end crust, basically a breadstick. Red sauce had a good flavor, but not overwhelming. Toppings were good, seemed fresh. Service was quick, which is key with a little person. Only complaint would be the price, somehow 2 medium pizzas and side salads(small) was about $100, no one even ordered alcohol. But when all is said and done, we'd definitely go back! Great spot for pizza!

This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprise by the atmosphere and food. We started with the fried pickles for an appetizer and WOW, they are the best in town. They are made with sandwich stackers, so they have the perfect combination of pickle and breading. They came with a Southwest sauce that was spicier then my liking, next time I will order with a side of Ranch dressing. We ordered their version of the Hawaiian pizza, called the Alomaha, and it was delicious. We found the crust to be exceptional with a lot of flavor. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the many TVs and the bar tending staff was very fast and attentive. We will definitely be back!

I went there before they got they liquor license and then after, both were amazing.

Ok so let me say that with all the pizza and pubs around this beautiful city of Omaha, I am not at all impressed with this establishment. So we arrived with 8 people 4 adults and 4 kids. One of this kids is a three year old girl and they tried to sit us at a very high top table. Let's put two and two together and say that this table wasn't the best choice to sit us at. If the place would have been even remotely full I might have understood why they tried to sit us there but As it turns out we were the only table in there at the time. So we waited while the hosts pushed a couple of tables together for us which was a huge deal by the way she acted. So we get sat and we order from our server who I might add never introduced herself or told us her name the fried pickles and onion rings as an appetizer. The batter on both was falling off and I was expecting a little more than we received for how much they were. The dipping sauce for both apps was the same and very good. Spicy with a little smokiness to it. My wife asked for a side of ranch as it was too spicy for her to eat and to my surprise they brought out store bought ranch. Come on! If old Chicago can make their own ranch this place should be able to as well. So then we order two 14" pizzas. Which was believed by the description would be very large and feed all of us. Each one being 23 bucks you would think so right. Wrong! Very small and mediocre in flavor and dough. All the while I had to ask for refills. We might have asked for dessert but was never asked if we wanted any and then waited 20 minutes for the check to be presented and then another 5-7 minutes for the server to run the cards and get them back to us. I am a very understanding person when it comes to service. I understand people get busy and can't give the right amount of attention but there were several other employees standing around watching our server struggle through the three tables she had. Including what seemed to be and looked like manager that never came by and said hello or anything. Dudley's pizza will not last. There is no point of eating at this restaurant. By my calculations it will be closed within the next year or so anyway so why bother. I won't be back and if I can make one positive comment, the bus boy did a fantastic job clearing out table, and they have a framed painted print of the most interesting man in the world. That's it. Don't go, it's a waist of money. Should have gone to DJ's Dougout instead.

A really great pizza place! There were a few kinks to work out right when the place started, but now it is amazing. The pizza is delicious, the PB&J wings are amazing, and the service is great. The owners are both local Omaha guys and really down to earth. My husband and I had a great time and will definitely come back again and again!

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.

Nice draft beer selection. Several local breweries as well... Ordered starter onion rings which were half price and very good. Menu allows you to convert any pizza, sub or flat bread into any format ( ex. Pizza into a sub or flatbread into a sub ingredients). I ordered the chicken, bacon, chipotle sandwich toppings into a flatbread and it was AWESOME!!

The interior of Dudley's is pretty straight forward. Sports bar feel in the bar area with tons of big screen tvs and pool tables; quieter in the dining room area. Nice selection at the bar and a patio for you to enjoy your pizza while people watching Aksarben Village goers. I've been here a few times for both lunch and HH. You can find a better beer selection elsewhere and not all the appetizers are winners but the pizza is delicious. Worth the trip for a personal pan.

I've had their food twice. The first time was great. The second time was a to go order. The breadsticks were not as good this time. A companion found their pizza seriously overhyped. The burgers are ginormous. The onion rings are ok. The fries are ONLY good when hot. Otherwise they are kinda icky.

I've been here three times. The first time was soon after they opened. We had a great experience, service was wonderful and the food was great. Within the last six weeks, I've been to Dudley's twice. I am completely underwhelmed. I will admit I have just had appetizers. Service was lacking. Both times, we were seated outside. We had to wait over five minutes both times for our server to acknowledge us. Also, both times it was Happy Hour but we were not given the Happy Hour menu. Tonight, when I asked for it, it took another five minutes before they brought the menu. This evening, my friend ordered pizza and fried pickles. She had no complaints about the pizza. This is the description of the friend pickles: "Huge slices of Kosher dills" The pickles were very very thin slices with very thick batter. They tasted like grease. Old grease. The taste made me think they had not changed their fry oil in a long time. We commented to our waiter but he didn't really acknowledge our comment. I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Loaded Sticks. I just wanted a bite, not an entire meal. I asked the waiter if they were good. Oh yes he said. They weren't. They were supposed to be stuffed with bacon and cheese blend and topped with green onions and Wisconsin cheddar. They were topped with a few very thick onions but no additional cheese. They again tasted very greasy. I wish I had a better experience. I think the service makes a big difference too. Both time, our servers just didn't seem too interested in us. And the food runner, he brought the food, said "can I get you anything else?" and when I asked for crushed red pepper he asked for my servers name? Really? I think they have went downhill. I will say my 9 and 13 yo like it a lot. They love the freshly baked cookies.

Dudley Did Right and hit the spot for me. The pizza is only 2.5 stars for me (see my Pizza lists for strong competition) as it was just average crust, but the toppings were unique enough, and definitely better than chain pizzas. They earned the extra stars for good quality menu, great soup, fast/friendly service, and good bar offerings. I was staying at the hotels just up the street from here, and it was either the Sports Bar or this place, and I am glad I choice Dudley's as they still showed sports, and the food was much better quality. I had to try their pizza as it is in their name, but the menu has other nice sounding options including burgers, sandwiches, and such. I started with the tortilla soup and it was fantastic... a little kick to it, but super tasty. I went for a build my own pie. I didn't like all the sauces on the namesake "Dudley pie", but I went for the flank steak, bacon, red bells, and fried pickles on my pie, and it was quite good and unique. A little too thick of a crust for my liking, but it filled me up nicely. The beer selection is quite good, and be sure to ask them about their rotational/seasonal offerings that didn't make the printed menu. I was there on a Tuesday night, and there was Trivia going on in the bar which made it a little noisy, but looked fun. They have several TVs along the bar wall which made for easy watching of both NBA and NHL playoff games. I definitely would come back to this place.

With a happy hour that runs from 3-6 that includes select half price appetizers, discounted beverages and $5 one topping small pizzas, a nice option for folks looking to grab an affordable snack prior to a movie. We ordered the onion rings at the HH rate (pretty good), the french fries at the HH rate (really good), the peanut butter and jelly wings and jamaican jerk wings (not so much a fan of the PBJ, because I can't get past the PBJ-chicken mix) and a small sausage pizza ($5). I was also interested in trying some of their other pizza combinations (especially the Dudley which features fried pickles and bleu cheese), but by then, we were pretty full up on clearance food and beverages. A delightful patio that can get a bit breezy, if not downright windy. Service was good but slowed down significantly once the patio got busy with adult couples, ladies out with friends and families with small children. We'll definitely be back during these warm weather months when in search of a locale mid-townish with a patio, a snack, and a nice place to relax.

Dudley's is a good place to take the family for an early dinner. It's loud, so the kids can be loud. The booths are comfortable enough to settle in for a bit. And the beer is good enough .
(4)Sam K.
Everyone knows bar pizza is a hit or miss. Dudley's hits a straight Bulls-eye with their American Steak pizza. It all just melts in your mouth - we ordered the beer that they recommended pairing with it & were blown away! If that wasn't enough, how about the fact that the inside of the place is very well kept up, the price isn't too bad for Omaha, the service is top-notch & QUICK, & that playing pool there is free! Guess where we're going to eat next time we are in Omaha? Keep it up, Dudley's! Way to go. You are a very integral part of Aksarben village.
(5)Greg C.
If you are trying to go here with a group, forget about it. We tried to contact them via email and phone 7 times. We NEVER heard back from them. Worst customer service ever. We have 20 people wanting to have dinner in the Aksarben area. This was our first choice and now will be our last. Of I could give negative stars I would.

I have been hearing great things abut this place so I finally tried it out for lunch today. The owner was just on a radio show and was given some Feta Cheese to play around with and he decided to try out a Greek Pizza. I had them change the red sauce to a pesto based sauce and it was excellent. Crust was done just right, not too chewy, not too doughy, but substantial enough to hold its contents. They recently had a New Holland Tap Takeover so I had a flight of New Holland with the pizza. They recently had a Boulevard Tap Takeover, so keep your eyes on their nice tap room.

This place is delicious!! Honestly, I can't get away from the signature pizza, "the Dudley" which will blow your mind. From time to time I find myself lusting after it. The rest of the menu looks amazing as well. The pizza alone is delicious, but the crust is basically a bread stick itself. It doesn't take long for the food to get out and you can usually choose to sit on the patio, bar, or restaurant side. The bar has some massive TV screens and can be a little louder, but this place is definitely worth a stop.

Holy god...where have I been? Well I did a lot of exploring and moving around whilst riding D'Brickashaw, the Food Loving T-Rex, so I have lush backlog and almost no time! So...let's start with the most recent. I spend ample time with my niece, because I'm awesome, and this outing took us to Dudley's after many of people said, "Eat here."in a few more words. So why not? I love pizza and cats. Bring it! We went in sometime in the early afternoon and were seated immediately and tended to in quick time. Gold banana stickers were issued. I ordered a spicy virgin bloody mary because it's Sunday and I don't touch alcohol and meat. Oh yea, FYI...I quit meat so I had to say goodbye to hotwings. The sorrow but I have my reasons. Anyways, 2 bloody marys were pounded and they were good and spicy. Nana sticker! They did have a bloody mary bar goin on but I told them to have the bartender to hit me with her best shot. She did...I approved. Beverages were enjoyed as we awaited out starter: The truffle salted romano pub fries. Once they arrived...those lil guys never stood a chance. They had a good crispness to them and the seasoning was on point along with the dip we got for them. They were torn up on till our pizza arrived. Being as we both don't eat meat, we got the Margherita pizza and also because, in general, that's a damn fine pizza! First thing I noticed was the crust...that huge ring of crust that dwarfed this pizza. Now it was a very good crust but I only saw it as off putting because that was most of the pizza! While the core part tasted awesome, the pizza itself was incredibly thin compared to the outer ring! It looked like Saturn, minus the planet!! Was it a good pizza? Yes! But did it look like it had a pan pizza crust with a thin crust body...yes. But at least that crust was good. Knowing what I know now, future visits will come with a dip for my breadsticks aka pizza crust. In closing I can say the pizza was great but it seemed unbalanced. That's not a game ender and some people may like it that way. But it was a lil off putting but the fries, bloody mary and quality service still give this a high recommendation from me!!! Now go forth!! Eat up, Minions!!
(4)Karen S.
Totally underwhelmed..... I heard this was a good place.. Had the fried pickles... Came out at room temperature... Pizza was good but not outstanding as I had been lead to believe.... Doubt we will go back.

I just came and ask for peanut butter bob and the taste was awesome!!! Very friendly staff.

I just haven't been able to make myself go to Dudley's due to some mixed reviews. The opportunity finally came up when there was some perfect spring weather and was looking for a place to dine outside with a friend. I love their outside area, and apparently many others had the same idea on a Tuesday evening because the outside patio was packed. Not sure they expected the crowd, as the service was quite lacking. Aside from that we decided to get some appetizers. We ordered a small sausage pizza and an assortment of wings. I'm really not a big wing eater, but have to say these were pretty tasty. The pizza is what really surprised me. Was expecting it to be just okay, but it really was good. I will definitely be back on a nice day to enjoy the patio and pizza. Hopefully they will gear up the servers in anticipation of such perfect weather days!

DO NOT ORDER THE CHEESECAKE OR APPLE PIE! Oh Dudley's, how I wanted to love you so. I went to Dudley's this past weekend to celebrate my friends' birthday and it was a disaster from the get go. My wife and I were the first to arrive out of a 10 person party. I put our name in and we waited, and waited, and waited. We waited an hour for a table to free up. It's not necessarily the restaurant's fault, but get bigger tables or move some around to make a 10 top. The manager told us a few times that they were clearing off a table for us at that moment, but we still had to wait 20 more minutes for a table. He was very apologetic but at that point, I didn't care how nice he was. My wife is pregnant and hungry. After waiting an hour, we just wanted to order and eat. We were sat at out table. We gave them our drink orders and our food orders and waited about 15 minutes for our food to arrive. It was an okay speed considering it was a busy, Friday night. When we actually received our food, half of the orders were wrong. I ordered 10 wings, half peanut butter and pepper jelly, and half Jamaican jerk. I got five peanut butter and pepper jelly, and five garlic Parmesan. I told her and she gave me my five Jamaican Jerk wings about 10 minutes later. The wings were small and meatless. The peanut butter and pepper jelly was unique but not enough to bring me back there. The Jamaican Jerk and the garlic Parmesan were just okay. Another person's order was wrong, so they gave her a new sandwich. And a third order was wrong too, but I don't remember what was wrong with it. The waitress, (I believe her name was Jessica), seemed very frazzled the entire time. I'm not sure if she was just overwhelmed or what the deal was. At the end of the night, my wife ordered a piece of apple pie for dessert and one of our friends ordered a piece of cheesecake for dessert, to go. Both were such a joke for $6 a piece. The piece of cheesecake, I kid you not, was about the size of a normal door key; same with the apple pie. (Forgot to take a pic since I was so pissed about the size.) I took the cheesecake up to the manager and asked if it was supposed to be that small, and he said no, went to the back for about 5-10 minutes and brought it back out. All he did was squish another piece, of the same size, into the original piece to make it look bigger. I then asked the manager if the Apple pie was normally that small and he said yes. He probably just wanted us out of there since I was complaining all night about our issues. I was just fed up. We paid and left, never to return.

Cleanliness 4 Service 4 Food 4 Likelihood 4 1-5 (5 Best!) 4.0 I like this pizza a lot. We had dinner with friends, and we all like cheese pizza. So we each brought pizza from two different restaurants each. Dudley's was thee most expensive pizza. The cost would prevent us from having it more often AND we would certainly choose it over "chain" pizza. Good job!
(4)Mickala M.
Always love coming to this place! They're pizza is awesome and I love they're chocolate chip cookies as an appetizer!
(5)Alana W.
We were sad to see Mojo's go, but Dudley's seems to be doing great! It always seems busy when we go, but never so busy that you have to wait for a table. The pizza is good, although I wish there was less crust and more toppings. The crust takes over most of the pizza, especially on the 8 inch. The green garden veggie pizza is my favorite, and I'm usually an extra-extra-pepperoni kind of girl. Lately my go-to order is the pesto burger, with grilled chicken instead of beef. The chicken has an amazing smoky flavor. The other burgers have a little too much going on, but the pesto burger is perfect and simple, although last time there was way too much wilting shredded lettuce. The side salad is surprisingly good! Fresh diced tomatoes and green onions, and no iceberg lettuce in sight. They have a small list of cocktails, though I wish they would add more (Mojo's had a huge selection!) The LOL Smileyface drink is pretty yummy (and hilarious to order). But the best thing is their fried pickles. I am Southern, so I'm a little particular about them. These are amazing--sliced longways like a sandwich pickle instead of the small slices. The batter is perfect and crispy; Reminds me of what you'd find on fried fish for some reason. Overall, Dudley's is one of our new favorite places to grab a quick meal!
(5)Scott L.
Good place. Came with a group of friends- we were seated quickly-our waitress was very attentive to our needs. Food was very good. Liked the atmosphere and if it was not so hot out we would have sat outside.
(5)Aynsley W.
I have been here a few times now and it has been a great experience every time. They have great fries and fried pickles!! They also have a fantastic vegetarian pizza option!

Ya know when your craving a wet, juicy burger and an ice cold beer? Well---this may be your happy place (que Zen music). Disclaimer: Place can get loud and busy---so be aware. Tip: If you want a little quiet, ask for room away from bar--problem solved. Now to the beer. Tons of tap beer choices--and two sizes to choose from. Yummy. I got the burger---built my own (which they will do). Best burger I have had in a long time. My dear wife got the salad with chicken. The salad is huge---so much so I got her leftovers (score). Salad was fresh and the strips of chicken were nicely cooked. Pizza. We got the white pizza with artichoke and pesto---OMG---a perfect appetizer to share at $10.50. Last but not least the staff: In a word---awesome. So nice to see management that is kind and also cares. We ran into Rachel R. who I believe was the FOH manager. She introduced us not only to her restaurant but had tidbits on local places to visit. Our server was sweet and kind, attentive and guided me through the plethora of beer selections-----You're awesome Maddie!!!! Bottom line---it's not fancy but the food and service are 6 stars (Oh wait, Yelp only gives 5). Seriously----just sit back, enjoy the cold beer, stellar service and awesome food and leave with a smile (and full belly). Cheers

Delicious pizza and cold beer. We had the Alomaha pizza, complete with meat, red peppers and pineapple. It was delicious! Nice outdoor seating, close distance to a park for a walk after. Kid friendly.
(5)Doug S.
My daughters and I stopped here for lunch on a Friday. The decor is nice, the staff friendly and the food and prices so-so. We ordered fried pickles, an 8" pizza with white sauce and cheese and a bacon chicken wrap of some sort. I may have the name backwards on the wrap but you get the point. First off, and this is just my humble opinion, but fried pickles should be chips not cut length-wise. Why you ask, because they're easier to eat, you take a bite of a long pickle and the whole pickle comes out and your left holding the breading. Okay, that sounds a little odd. Chips are easily eaten in one handy dandy bite. As usual when I get ranch dressing at a restaurant it was runny and just dripped off the pickles. Plus for the price, they were like a buck a piece. Give me a wing instead. The pizza was the highlight, great crust, the sauce was spot on and it was loaded with cheese. I'm trying to find something to complain about but I honestly can't, guess this is why Pizza is in their name and not Pickle. The wrap was just okay. For what it cost it was rather small. The flavor was good but it lacked something. It seemed that the tortilla to stuffing ratio was weighed towards the tortilla, which unless I'm mistaken, is backwards. It did come with fries, which were all stuck together in one large fry ball. Not sure what happened but it was a little odd. My biggest gripe about Dudley's is their lack of a lunch menu, when I order an appetizer and two entrees and drinks, I think $34 is a little over the top for lunch. Especially with portion sizes, the wrap was small, the pickles were infrequent and the pizza was 8". Yes, I know in this day and age it's probably about right. But in Omaha, I have had way better lunches for a lot less money. And those are the places I will be seeking out on my next father-daughter lunch date.

Delish! Not only are the owners pizza moguls but they are COMEDIANS!! The menu was tastefully comical while still explaining what menu item consisted of. I had the Dudley Pizza and Blue BBQ Wings and Jamaican Jerk Chicken wings. Also tasted the peanut butter and Jelly wings!... yum. The pizza was amazing. I am really not a huge pizza fan but this pizza looked too good to not try ... it was delish with a great creamy sauce drizzled over the pizza. The cheese stretchy... the crust was perfect. Amazing pizza. Pizza comes out in a pizza stand... nice touch. Now the wings were THE BEST in town!!!!!!!! Different flavor than other wings that I've had! Super delish. The bleu cheese n bbq wings were excellent and seasoning perfectly. The Jamaican Jerk chicken wings were great. Not too spicy... and sprinklings of green onions on top of the wings. I was not brave enough to order the Peanut Butter and Jelly wings... so I asked to taste the sauce which was very good and I will have it the next time. The waitress said that it was their best seller. They also have a choc chip cookie pizza where the kids can add dif toppings to... Will be doing that next time as well.... with or without kids ;) The service was excellent. Very attentive and extremely NICE!! Can't wait to go back here!! And try other pizzas on the menu... all to which sound amazing.... Also, you can get any pizza on a sub... In addition to the pizza, I want to try the salads and a couple other appetizers.
(5)Matt V.
This is my favorite pizza place in town. The owners are very nice and accommodating, and the food is fantastic. I love how they let you experiment in building your own pizza, as well as transform the pizza into a sub. The bread (and the pizza crust) is so good - you can't go wrong either way. I recently had the Thanksgiving special as a sub, and it was really good. This is also a fun place to play trivia. And don't forget the brunch pizza on Sundays!
(5)Kate T.
Came here with a couple girlfriends this week on one of the few nice nights we actually had and enjoyed dinner and drinks on their patio. The service was good, we were asked if we needed another round of drinks promptly and my water stayed refilled (this is important for me, I drink a lot of water). For dinner, we ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza to share and it was delicious! Just enough heat from the buffalo sauce which was balanced with the bleu cheese on the pizza. The crust was excellent and we all dipped it in the honey that was provided on the table which was a nice treat. Overall, I would definitely recommend Dudley's if you're looking for a good pizza place in town with good service and decent prices. For 2 drinks and my share of the pizza my total was $20 with tip.

We met up with some friends at Dudley's on a Friday night. We should have made a reservation because they were pretty busy. We arrived at 6:45 with a "25 minute" wait. 25 minutes turned into 55 minutes. My husband went and asked the manager and hostess several times how much longer it was and every time it was "10 more minutes." We weren't offered anything but a small sample of beer. Drinks and/or water would have been nice. We were in a party of ten and our waitress was awesome! She was attentive and fast, even thought she may have been overwhelmed. The menu had a wide variety of meal choices including pizza, wings, burgers, typical pub food. They even had interesting combinations and flavors such as peanut butter and jelly wings. There pizza of the month was Thanksgiving pizza, which I thought was very inventive. I ordered the chicken avocado ranch sandwich with fries and everyone else put in there order including the Thanksgiving pizza on a sub (any pizza can be turned into a sub sandwich). Our food came out one by one. The server said it was because the food would have died in the window. Working in the restaurant industry, I know that different items get cooked at different times to get all the food out at once. once the food started coming out, there were several items missing and wrong. Half of the party had to send theres back in order to get it correct. Once everyone had their meals, several were almost done or finished. To top it off, a friend and I ordered desserts to go. The cheesecake was literally one inch in width. It was the saddest silver of cheesecake I've seen in my life for $6. Many of the restaurants I've worked in had dessert come pre sliced so they were consistent every time. My husband (after we'd already complained about quite a bit) approached the manager and asked if that was the actual size. The manager said no and went and added another slice of the exact same size. I couldn't believe they were trying to sell that small of a piece for $6, when the picture showed a mammoth piece of cheesecake. Overlal, I was super disappointed with the oveall experience of Dudley's. The only thing was was substantial was the server and my food. I'm not sure if I'll return.

They have booze now and make a fine drink. I bet not too many people leave the crust on the plates here. This pizza is like two separate meals. You get the topping part (quality fresh toppings) and sauce (very tasty sauce) on the thin crust part of the pizza and then get to eat this doughy, flakey, thick hand braided crust at the end of your slice. That crust is amazing-you can taste barley and hops in it and pairing with beers should be a requirement (they have suggestions on the menu). My server was good. Got just the right amount of service quick. She had other tables including one with 16 people and I did not feel neglected at all. Similarly laid out like the previous tenant, Mojo's...but less sports bar and more nice eatery feel to it. They still have lots of big screens in the bar area though. I look forward to making this a regular stop and bringing friends with next time so I can split some of these wings everyone is talking about.
(5)Alex T.
Stopped in with whole family to meet friends for lunch. I had never been there before. The pizza was absolutely great and service was fantastic. My 3 kids were thoroughly entertained with pool play, including my 1 yr old. I will definitely be back. Kid friendly and great food.

So.. had an amazing piece at a fair this summer. Mother in law in town and we decide to splurge and get 2 mediums for carry out. Splurge is key word. 36.00 for 2 small mediums. $2.00 a piece of pizza! No where close to park for carry out or handicap. They told us 25 minutes. I was there in 27 minutes. Pizza was already cold... and the dough was uncooked. I'm calling now. No one was impressed.. at least not for $2.00 a piece. I'll update on how they handle it. Update*** The manager actually read this. I had called by it was very busy. He sent message and took care of the issue in a very professional way. I am sure that had the pizza been hot... it would have been as delicious as it was when I had it previously.
(2)Brad W.
Went back again yesterday, this place is Great! Service, food, atmosphere, its all great! We started with the fried pickles again. They are one of the best fried pickles in town. The did change the presentation, and I think they look even better! For my meal, I had the Peanut Butter Bob burger. Had peanut butter and a fried egg on it as well as a bunch of other stuff. It was great, very messy, but it tasted really good. I had a side of the Truffle fires, and they were good as well and came with a great dipping sauce. My wife had this interesting Manager's Special. It was a peanut butter and Jelly pizza with chicken. It sounds funny, but was Awesome! Great Local restaurant that I would highly recommend!
(5)Chris M.
I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had the 12" pesto pizza and split it between two people and had one slice left over for lunch the next day. I am fairly picky about pizza and I was impressed with the pizza we had ordered. I went during Monday night football and they gave us an option of sitting in the louder bar side or not. Our food came pretty fast too and service was excellent.
(4)Scott N.
I was here for a retirement party. The drink selections was good! I had a Kansas City Fizz, which was interesting (gin, lemon, beer, lavender) and tasty. The evening was catered. Everything looked delicious, but I didn't have any. Their menu has a lot of choices so I'm guessing I could find something I'd like if I came in for a meal. It was an unusual circumstance for a restaurant. As a result, I don't have a lot of detail. Parking is a bear, to say the least!!! Although I do believe there is a garage somewhere. I'm not all that familiar with Aksarben village. Dudley's is certainly A-OK in my book.
(3)Todd J.
As you'll see from my reviews I am not by any means a very critical person so this review is honestly hard for me to write but I feel like other people need to be aware of what to expect. As you'll see in my last review I had an amazing experience at Dudley's my first time there. It quickly became my new favorite in Omaha. I raved to my friends and family about how awesome Dudley's is. For my birthday we got a group together to go to Dudley's and it was the worst dining experience I've experienced in years. When we got there we told them we had a party of 8 expecting a wait due to our group size. We were told 15 to 20 minutes. At 55 minutes they told us a table was being prepared and then it took over 20 more minutes to be seated only after asking the manager several times. Totally unacceptable Our waitress was decent but seemed flustered and was inattentive most of the time. Of the 8 orders we had 4 were not even the right food we ordered. The waitress was kind and replaced items with the correct things but after waiting over an hour the last thing we wanted to do was wait an extra 30 minutes for food which we did. The list of negative things could go on and on and I wish I could say it was just the waitress or cook or something specific but the fact is it was a complete and total breakdown of the restaurant and customer service process that a consumer should expect. This saddens me as This experience has taken Dudley's from a personal favorite and a restaurant I have highly suggested to tons of people and made it a restaurant that I will caution everyone I know to avoid at all costs.
(1)Reed N.
Steak pizza? Yep. Delicious. Buffalo chicken pizza with a schmear of blue cheese on the crust. Yep. Awesome. There are other pizza here, too. Normal ones, so to speak. I really enjoyed the specialty ones and will be back for more. That steak pizza is dangerous... I could eat a large one myself!!
(4)Susan W.
If you want to go to a pizza place with a good beer selection this is the place. They have quite a few beers to choose from including locally brewed beers. The staff were adequate but not spectacular, didn't know the beers as well as he should have and they were selling a hefeweizen as a pilsner and it was obvious it wasn't a pilsner. The pizza was okay but, nothing to write home about. The bar is noisy but that is okay and the dining room was quiet except for the kids. The patio is mostly for the people who smoke. I would go back to have a beer maybe not to eat.
(4)Ryan M.
Pros: Decent busy sports bar atmosphere if that is what you like. Very chainy - like if Applebee's ran a sports bar. A very good selection of craft beers - if all you are after is good beer than this is a good place. Okay pizza, but overpriced. (I've actually had better Margherita pizza at an airport fast food joint.) Food and beer came quickly. Check came quickly and was picked up quickly, with quick change. They're definitely trying to churn and burn tables. Cons: Rather breathless and "chasing your own tail" service. Years ago I was a waiter and I recognize what it looks like when a waitstaff is in chaos. This was chaos. My waitress did not know what was in the restaurant's most basic pizza (a Margherita). Or I should say I asked her what sauce it used and she gave me an incorrect answer. The food came out fast but with no silverware. First waitstaff I asked for silverware promptly disappeared (probably because I wasn't her table, and that's how waitstaff acts when in chaos - ignore distractions from tables that aren't yours). My actual waitress got it about 5 minutes later when she swung by to ask how things were going. Overall, for the price I would not return. There are better places for pizza.
(2)Matt M.
I have been waiting to write this review until I had a fair sampling of their offerings. I have visited three times now and I think I have it figured out. The staff here is great and the pizza is good but I personally would not stray far from it. I have enjoyed both pizzas that I have ordered but other items such as fried pickles, steak nachos and a salad were mediocre at best. The fried pickles are too heavily battered and greasy, the steak on the nachos has that "fake" precooked taste and the apple vinaigrette salad was lackluster and didn't even include all the ingredients listed. This place is WAY better than the restaurant it replaced but there is still work to be done.

What a great place to eat!! Not only was the food fantastic, the staff was amazing. We ordered a 14 inch pizza but were mistakenly given a 12 inch. Rather than taking the pizza away and making us wait for a new one, the owners ( yes, the actual owners...both of them) told us to go ahead and eat the 12 inch...then proceeded to bring us a free cookie plate and our original 14 inch order. As if this wasn't enough, the owners also brought us a sampler plate of the PB&J wings. And, I have to say, the PB&J wings were a home run...so delicious. Seriously, go try them right now; your mouth will thank you.

This was grossly disappointing. Caesar salad was drenched in dressing. Pizza was literally all crust and really tasteless. Big disappointment. Oh yeah and expressive

They have some of best hot wings in Omaha! We tried the Dudley pizza and were not disappointed; it tasted even better than it looked. What a delicious blend of ingredients, especially the creamy garlic sauce drizzled on top. The braided crust and unique sauces illustrates the extras that make this gourmet pizza a serious step above other places. Yum!!! Even the menu was cute, clever and fun to read. I have to also say our waitress was wonderful, prompt, attentive and friendly. They know what they are doing all around, no need to go anywhere else for pizza after eating here.

My husband, daughter and I went and hung out here for the first NFL game of the season. To start the fried pickles were amazing - best I've ever had. We then had build our own pizzas and honestly the crust was to die for. Super thin for the toppings but soft and thick for the crust. The service overall was fantastic. The only reason I'm putting 4 stars is because the dessert fell a little flat, especially after all the great food before it. We ordered the brownie sundae - the ice cream was way too soft and the brownie tasted very store bought. That said the staff member helping us have us a small discount on the dessert because it was our second choice (they didn't have our first). So overall - we'd be back in a heartbeat!

This place was a surprise, I really liked it! The pizzas are great and the wings have just the right crispiness (I love the Jamaican BBQ wings). It was mega crowded when I came but after a short wait we had a table. They show Creighton games here and they have a decent bar. My order was slightly wrong but they quickly rectified it and I left very happy.

First trip to Dudley's was worth the drive from Smallville. This is not your typical pub and pizza place. The pizza's are unique in flavors, combinations and presentation. For appetizer, Peanut Butter and Jelly wings. Don't bother with anything else! It's creative, playfull and fun food. A full list of beers to choose from, the large is very large. All in all, a fine experience with fun food and wait staff.
(5)Mary S.
I have gone to Dudley's now a few times, and it is nice to see them grow over time. I was initially skeptical about the place because of the location (the last two restaurants in the same place were always a ghost town and closed down shortly after) but when I finished watching a movie at the Aksarben Cinema next door, the alluring smell of pizza drew me in. They have a nice variety of pizzas, and some of the items even have notes suggesting which beer to pair it with, which I though was nice. I tried their 'Dudley's' pizza the second time I went there and it was certainly interesting; it had fried pickles on it. They also had more traditional styled pizzas as well which were delightful

This pizza is amazing! I admit that I am not usually a "crust eater" but I gobbled up every last bit! Went for a late lunch, service was spot on; no issues. Menu has lots of choices- pizza, apps, salads, and wraps. Probably some of the best restaurant ranch dressing I have put in my mouth. Decent prices on drinks. Bloody Mary bar, Mimosa's, and special brunch pizzas were on special on the day we went, but we ended up ordering the Chicken-Bacon-Spinach pizza and it was a full on party on the taste buds! I hope this place sticks around for the next time I travel to Omaha. YUM! I am a total fan. Great Pizza!
(4)Robert N.
A decent spot to catch a game on TV, or grab a burger, beer, or slice after a movie.

First of all, their menu is so awesome - as someone who pays attention to design and aesthetics, their menu definitely won me over. I also love they list beer pairings for all - literally, all - of their dishes, even down to the Chocolate Chip Cookies, which appear on their menu two separate times. Speaking of said Chocolate Chip Cookies, you should get them. They're freshly baked with a sprinkle of sea salt, and you get four giant ones in an order, and they're perfect. I was impressed that they were even warm out of the oven for us when we placed a to-go order. The Truffle Salted Romano Pub Fries were very good, but the best part about these fries was the sauce that they came with - a creamy roasted garlic sauce that we used on the fries, our pizza, and then basically licked clean. Liquid gold. For pizza, we ordered the Green Garden sans mushrooms. You just never know with veggie pizzas, but thankfully Dudley's didn't skimp on theirs. What really shines is their crust, as others have mentioned. The malted barley syrup used in the crust adds a certain sweetness that makes their crust uniquely delicious. I was on the fence about a 5th star, because the prices on pizzas seem a little high to me. We ordered the largest size, which was $21 and smaller than expected. But overall, great addition to Aksarben Village and looking forward to trying more of their pies.

Fantastic atmosphere and great food. Hard to find a better place to kick back and relax
(5)Jessy L.
I ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad to-go for lunch and it left quite a bit to be imagined. I thought with it being the highlighted salad on their menu that it would be quite a bit better. The chicken was grilled and tasty. The dressing was pretty good. But that's where it ended for me. The ratio of toppings to lettuce was bad. There needed to be a lot more tortilla strips, a lot more salsa and it just felt like something was missing. My advice would be to spice it up a bit. Make it something to be desired. I felt like I could have gone to Runza and gotten the same salad, even better for a lot less money. Add some cheese! Put a spicy salsa on the side. Maybe add some black olives and guacamole. Definitely won't be ordering that salad again. Might have to try the pizza and do an updated review.
(3)Chris F.
Beer samples, what more could you say. I had a tough time deciding on which of their many draught beers to have so the waitress brought me samples of all 3 I was considering. For dinner I ordered the house namesake, the Dudley ... simply amazing. Apps were parm truffle fries and pb&j wings. Fries were worth the trip alone, wings were good but the pepper jelly dipping sauce was good with the wings or the fries. Dudley's deserves all the high marks it has gotten.
(4)Mardi R.
Everything is amazing! They are spot on with the beer pairings. Would definitely have the Peanut Butter Bob again, out of this world! Matthew is the best there, he treats you right!
(5)Ann C.
Great place with awesome pizza. However, we went last Friday and they were understaffed. We assumed a few people called in. There was one girl waiting an entire section. She was doing her best in spite of her circumstances, so we made sure to tip her well and not complain. The hostess didn't give us our utensils, so we assumed the waitress thought that had been done when she brought our food. We couldn't get her attention, so we went and got them ourselves. She got a huge party of about 15 and no one helped her. We will definitely still eat there, but if they are understaffed, I think those that are there should chip in a little more. I like to think we are fair people, so we weren't going to get upset, but I can see some moron throwing a fit. Again, we felt bad for her and she was doing her best with the circumstances she was given.
(4)Rebecca H.
We had a great night at Dudley's celebrating with a friend! We had appetizers and every one of them was delicious -- crispy fries, yummy wings, and the best cheesy bread sticks in town! Our server Ryan did an excellent job of helping us mark the occasion and we will definitely be back again!
(5)Meg M.
Great food and drink selection. The pizza is awesome, you can't go wrong. Good happy hour food and drink prices. Worth checking out.
(5)Katie H.
I have been to Dudley's about 3 times now, and I have to say, this is my new favorite late-night hangout. The first time I dined here, the b/f and I tried 10 boneless parmesan wings and 2 8-inch pizzas, the Dudley and a pesto chicken one. The sauce that covers the parmesan wings is amazing, but I have a special place in my heart for great parmesan sauce, so this one was an easy winner. The wings themselves were not all uniform in size the times we have ordered them, though. Not a big deal in my book, but if you are sharing, may be something to think about. On another trip, we tried the peanut butter and pepper jelly wings. Too sweet for my tastes, but they were definitely novel and worth a go once. I imagine the peanut butter sauce best served slathered between two pieces of white bread and a glass of milk. The pizza here is definitely a real gem. The Dudley was about $11.50 for an 8-inch and the pesto chicken was similar in price. Acceptable for the bold flavors and enjoyment we received from eating them. So what's on The Dudley? It has steak, fried pickles!, and more of that delicious parmesan garlic sauce. YUM. The crust of the pizza is pretty much a soft, warm breadstick. Perhaps not the highlight of the pizza, but a pleasant surprise nevertheless. The pesto chicken pizza was delicious, but it was easily forgotten next to the bold flavor of The Dudley. Beer selection is decent. About 10-12ish beers on draft and many, many bottles from which to pick. The menu also pairs a beer selection with each item listed. Awesome! The only hiccup we experienced out of the times we were here was service. I don't think you can be a high maintenance diner here, be sure to order everything in one go. I'm sure their service will improve as the restaurant progresses. Dudley's has a normal and late-night Happy Hour, so be sure to check out the website for details. I'll definitely be back many, many times.

Excellent pizza crust. No liquor license yet, but apparently they will have one before the end of the year. We had to ask for silverware and napkins, and for my kids apple juice a few times. Other than that, servers were attentive, and let us know that the kitchen got backed up, so they brought out some chips and salsa to fill the void until the pizzas came out. Did the Hawaiian style and Cheeseburger pizza, both were top notch! I think the crust is where it's at, thicker but airy, crispy and buttery. I also think the sauce ratio was perfect. Over sauced pizza can really ruin a pie in my opinion. This was one of the few places open on Christmas, but I will be back in the future. We really enjoyed the pie!! Give it a try....
(4)Ben W.
Dudley's has amazing fried pickles, and the loaded breadsticks are to die for. Pizza , sandwiches, wings, etc are all very good. Atmosphere is good, outside patio is comfortable and always a good time. Highly recommend, especially if you like pizza.
(5)Jason S.
Wonderful experience again! I has the steak nachos which I couldn't make it through half. My wife had the BBQ pizza...amazing! The cheese breadsticks had almost as much cheese as a large pizza. This place never fails to impress! Good job to everyone there!!
(5)Lisa W.
Try the Peanut Butter Bob. Sounds weird but its amazing. My husband and I and our two young children had driven from Boulder, Colorado that morning and got into Omaha, Nebraska and just wanted some good food in a low stress atmosphere. We lucked out with Dudley's. Very low key, the waitress was great, and knew the menu well. She admitted to never having the Peanut butter Bob but said many people liked it. So I took a chance and was so glad I did. Big juicy burger cooked perfectly. Crisp bacon, a warm gooey egg oozed amazingly over the whole thing. I appreciated that it was wrapped in paper since it is a very messy meal. Kids enjoyed their meals, as dud my husband. I would definitely go to Dudley's again and would recommend it to my friends.
(5)Patrick W.
Dudley's is my new go-to spot in Aksarben. The pizza was really good. Not the best but definitely in the upper echelon of pizza joints in town. It's similar to Villagio but better executed. I can't wait to go back.
(4)Jenalee S.
Great service and the fried pickles were phenomenal! Really loved the buffalo chicken pizza too. Highly recommend it for watching your favorite game or dinner.
(4)Charles M.
I came to Dudley's for a husker game. My bartender Reed was fantastic he knew about every drink I asked for and I have relatively particular tastes. The food was excellent and was moderately priced I will definitely come back here again.
(5)Amanda H.
We had originally planned to go to Jones Bros, but they were out of gluten-free bread for my best friend. The lady behind the counter suggested Dudley's for the gluten-free pizza crust option. I am SO glad she did! The restaurant was really nice, atmosphere-wise - there was a short wait which we didn't mind at all. There was even a little space heater built into the wall in the area we were waiting - super thoughtful. We had an excellent server, great food at great prices - and the menu was a riot to read. One of the brothers who owns the place came by personally to check on us, and he was a fun person. His personality definitely shines through in his business, and he gives impressive high fives. I was surprised how on top of things everyone was for it being such a new establishment. Kudos! All in all, a great experience, and we'll definitely return.
(5)Jonathon I.
Wow, what a perfect place to relax with some pizza, a cold drink, and good friends! Stopped in for dinner and was very impressed: Friendly and prompt staff, super clean, comfy seats, great music that didn't drown out our conversation, and some really delicious food! Got the PB&J chicken wings based on yelp reviews, and was surprised by how tasty they were: it really is a peanut butter/grape jelly sauce, with a Chipotle raspberry(?) glaze dip. Dinner was the 14" Stockyard, which easily fed three people without being expensive, and if you like thick crust this is some of the best you could ask for. The owners even stopped by to chat for a bit, and you can see that they work hard to create a great experience for their customers. Very much looking forward to the next time I'm in Omaha so I can visit Dudley's again!
(5)Paul C.
Pizza here is great. The cheese is quality stuff, and the crust is perfect, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. The cheesy bread sticks were delicious, with the cheese baked on the inside, not the outside. The pizza came out really fast and one of the owners actually came to our table to check on how things were. Will definitely be coming back.
(5)Evelyn W.
I stopped in here for a pizza and wings a week ago. I have been here before and think they have great PB and J wings and a great Freight-liner burger, but their pizza is the worst I've ever had. I have tried the pizza now 3 times thinking, they can't possibly mess it up again, and I'm wrong every time. The crust is always half of the pizza, it's hard as a rock, chewy and cold plus their is barely any cheese or toppings on the pizzas and they are way overpriced for what you get. I would rather eat a gross $1 totinos pizza from the grocery store then ever eat Dudley's pizza again.
(2)Megan G.
I've been to Dudley's a few times now and it has either been packed or empty. Either way the place is average. I've had slow service mostly. The staff don't seem to know much about the menu, maybe because it is a newer place. The pizza is okay, I've had much better and worse. The crust is good, but thick and if prefer more cheese on the pizza. Not a bad place to eat, but nothing special.
(3)Abi W.
The steak pizza...my mouth waters just thinking about it. Absolute perfection. The truffle Romano fries are amazing as well. Everytime we've been, the service has been fast, nice and quiet. Love this place. That garlic crust should be on every pizza ever made.
(5)Kailey D.
Disclaimer: Only giving it three stars because its still pretty new and have some kinks to work out. The Good: -Ambiance was great, love the remodel. -Love that there is a separate dining area if you want something more quiet, but there is also a bar side if you want to grab a beer with friends and catch a game. - Peanut Butter and Pepper Jelly wings. I was a little skeptical at first, but its the perfect amount of both the PB and Jelly. - The Pesto pizza was GREAT. Perfect amount of pesto and all the other ingredients, I loved it. - Crust was great, it was an added breadstick to my meal. The Bad: - service was a little slow, but they are still working out the kinks and to be fair they were pretty busy (which is great, I love seeing a new business busy) - They ran out of the sauce they normally service with the PB&J wings, so they gave us ranch. In case there was any doubt, peanut butter and ranch do NOT mix. Ranch does mix with the breadstick like crust though, so it all worked out in the end. - Margherita pizza had a lot of garlic on it. A LOT. So, if you like garlic and don't plan on being close to someone anytime soon I would recommend it. It was not my favorite. The Ugly: - They don't serve alcohol(yet). I hope that changes soon because their menu lists the perfect beer to pair with each type of pizza...but you can't actually order that beer yet. No beer with pizza?! Blasphemy. I have high hopes for this place, especially since its right next door to Aksarben Cinema - perfect place to grab a bite before the show!
(3)Ashley R.
On vacation and decided to stop in for GF pizza, double pepperoni and sausage sub, and drinks. My husband ordered a side salad and was not impressed; a little pretentious for this joint. The GF pizza was OK. The toppings and sauce were yummy, but the crust was a little over-cooked. He RAVED about the sub sandwich--would go there again and have it. Really liked the atmosphere, but the bartender was not super friendly.
(3)Tom K.
Freight liner burger (which I was told to come here for) was OK, nothing I would scream about. The pizza all around me looked very good and that's what people talk about here so I would give that a whirl next time. Great place to catch a game and for big groups. Service was great other than that the bartender had less of a personality than a piece of cardboard. If I'm around this area I'd come back, but once again, I'd go with the pizza...
(3)Jorge C. Q.
We've been here three times since it opened and there is a reason my friends and I call it 'The Dud'. First off, the food is solid for a pizza joint. The pizza tastes fresh and, like everyone has said, the crust is delicious. The PB&J wings are great (if you can get them to bring you jelly sauce). The service, however, is iffy at best. We've had great service on the restaurant side, but we were terribly neglected on the bar side. We would go 30 mins or more without anyone coming over. The atmosphere is mixed. The restaurant side is family-centric, but the music was too Country for my taste. The bar side is nice. Great seating for sports, two pool tables, but no darts (boo). The lighting needs to be turned down a bit on both sides. I feel like I was being interrogated with those LED lights. I would like to give this place more stars and maybe I will someday. Yes, I understand they've only been open for a month or so, but the lousy service and mixed atmosphere is still a no-go for me.
(2)April R.
I have eaten here twice now and picked up to go order once. In case you do not know this...their pizza is AWESOME! I love, love, love their crust. Now, on that note...why isnt that fabulous breaded love incorporated in other items...like the breadsticks and croutons? Their salad was AWFUL...but I might have stomached it if it had breaded croutons :) Went there the other night to watch the Creighton game, sat at the bar, great bartender gal! We decided to split a small pizza and try a salad. we ordered the apple vinegarette. It was basically a bagged salad from Bag N Save, which included brown lettuce, hard croutons and a few sprinkles of parmasean. Awful! The dressing was decent. Please, please, please re-evaluate the salads! Ordered the choclate chip cookies, yum, warm, chocolate! Although after ordering them, we realized we could order 1 with ice cream. I would definitely do that...maybe this week :) Great neighborhood joint, great pizza, good craft beer selections. Just wont be ordering any more salads :( Oh and the PB&J wings...oh wow :) yum yum.
(4)Moira R.
Every time we go here it gets better. But I don't think this place can get any better than it did after our last visit. The beer list is still amazing! We also had a half hamburger half chicken bacon spinach artichoke pizza that was incredibly delicious! Our waitress insisted on bringing us sauces to dip the crust in which put the pizza over the top! Both owners stopped by our table to check in with us and tell us the history of the restaurant and how they developed some of their recipes. One of them, upon learning we had yet to try the peanut butter and jelly wings, brought us out a complimentary plate to try. They were some of the most delicious things we had ever eaten - you absolutely must try them! This was easily one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. We also found out they have breakfast pizzas and a Bloody Mary bar on Sunday mornings. We will definitely be in to try those!
(5)Luke C.
Food is awesome. Beer selection is decent. In the few times I've been there the pizzas are delicious and they have some pretty off the wall styles (PB & j pizza). Their French fries with the garlic sauce are beyond amazing, I could drink the garlic sauce straight if need be. They offer a variety of beer styles and brands in pints as well as pitchers in other than just Bud Light. Very impressed overall so far!
(5)Jennifer B.
Seriously great pizza... the crust is amazing. I've been here a handful of times and loved the fried pickles, pb&j wings, and the american steak classic pizza. This a great addition to my neighborhood!
(5)Judy R.
I was excited to eat here after reading the reviews, but sadly felt my meal was just average. My friends expressed the same opinion. We had the PB & J wings, and everyone agreed the coating was too heavy-handed and the overall dish lacked the heat the jalepeno jelly in the description should have. My Chicken Mole Pizza was nondescript and the hamburgers ordered by my friends were not very juicy or flavorful. Based on this experience, we all agreed we would not go out of our way to eat here again.
(2)The Prophet C.
Been here twice now; service and people here have been great! They gave my wife a free birthday cookie sundae. Have yet to try the pizza but we will repeat, good vibe here!
(4)Marie D.
I genuinely feel sorry for the 2 people in these reviews that cut off their nose to spite their face by trying this place out the first week. "I won't be going back!" blah blah blah. That's ok because those people appear as though they should be spending more time in 5th grade English and less time at a tavern I plan on being at a lot. First off, as a restaurant manager with a family history of restaurant ownership, I know what the first couple weeks are like. To be honest, I don't even check a place out until month 2 because starting a business is far more stressful than most of you yelpers could understand. I wouldn't have dared go there before the booze license! But I did call once and ask if they had it yet, and the female that answered was nothing but friendly and excited that we called. Since they had it, we went. That was our first experience. My husband and I went before a movie - which has to be so annoying for this business, because we needed to eat and go in 45 minutes. Excellent service from a bubbly, cute blond gal. We told her our situation and she made it work out perfectly. She even alerted the kitchen that we had to hurry along. We had the tour of breadsticks - so good, I love dips and the raspberry chipotle is the best - a salad, and my husband turned a pizza into a sub. "Bomb." That's all he said afterwards. Balsamic dressing is incredible and the apple balsamic is also amazing, if you like a sweeter vinaigrette. Second time in, I was with 2 girlfriends and we had the guy with dreadlocks and he's my favorite because that guy is on his game. And because I love dreadlocks. He knows what he's doing. Very attentive, personable, everything was perfect. Yesterday my husband and I went back because they have Tank 7 on tap and that's one of my faves. Yesterday was also some big sports day. I don't know, whatever. It was a day that decided who went to the Super Bowl. *shrugs* Was stoked to see this place jam-packed, but was lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar, right after someone left. Great bartenders. Watched them do laps around the bar. As the bar manager for the company I work for, I know how important laps are. They constantly made sure everything was ok with everyone and rolled so in sync, you'd be surprised this place just opened. A drink did not go empty. People were getting food, closing out, they were making the tickets that printed from the servers and it was a super respectable flow for people who probably just met 2 months ago. I can be pretty judgmental in this field, as I have a ton of experience and happen to be pretty damn good at what I do :) Now let's talk pizza. HOLY SHIT. Can you cuss on yelp? The family restaurant I was talking about earlier was a pizzeria with some of the best pizza in town. THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA IN TOWN. Delicious! I've already texted 4 people to see if they want to go to lunch there today because I'm craving it again. (It's 7:45am) Being in this business for 14+ years, I am always observing. My husband constantly has to remind me that I'm not at work when we go out to eat. I approached one of the owners yesterday while he was bussing a table(!) to compliment him. I've never done that. I've never been so impressed with a new place. Welcome to the neighborhood, Dudley's! We are so glad to have you!
(5)NIffer B.
Yum! Can really only speak to the pizza, but it was great. Loved the crust, so disappointed we don't have this style of pizza where we live. Crust is thin (New Yorkish- not crispy), with a thick end crust, basically a breadstick. Red sauce had a good flavor, but not overwhelming. Toppings were good, seemed fresh. Service was quick, which is key with a little person. Only complaint would be the price, somehow 2 medium pizzas and side salads(small) was about $100, no one even ordered alcohol. But when all is said and done, we'd definitely go back! Great spot for pizza!
(4)Andrea H.
This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprise by the atmosphere and food. We started with the fried pickles for an appetizer and WOW, they are the best in town. They are made with sandwich stackers, so they have the perfect combination of pickle and breading. They came with a Southwest sauce that was spicier then my liking, next time I will order with a side of Ranch dressing. We ordered their version of the Hawaiian pizza, called the Alomaha, and it was delicious. We found the crust to be exceptional with a lot of flavor. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the many TVs and the bar tending staff was very fast and attentive. We will definitely be back!
(5)Michael W.
Great food and atmosphere! Peanut butter Bob was FANTASTIC! Do were the pb&j wings. Great job, Tim and Robbie!
(5)Dennis W.
I went there before they got they liquor license and then after, both were amazing. They were especially nice and appreciative when we came in before we enjoy a beer and their food amazed us both times with daring creativity. They PBnJ wings and Dudley pizza were new, unique and delicious. Be back there soon!
(5)Teri D.
Dudley's pizza is fantastic. My husband loves the all meat pizza and the chicken bacon artichoke is the best pizza I have ever eaten. Their owners and staff are awesome!
(5)Leah B.
Great pizza and addition to the area. We ordered the breadsticks and weren't too impressed. They seemed to be overdone and dry. The pizza crust however is delicious so hopefully they will switch out the breadsticks and use their pizza crust instead!
(4)Rob Y.
Ok so let me say that with all the pizza and pubs around this beautiful city of Omaha, I am not at all impressed with this establishment. So we arrived with 8 people 4 adults and 4 kids. One of this kids is a three year old girl and they tried to sit us at a very high top table. Let's put two and two together and say that this table wasn't the best choice to sit us at. If the place would have been even remotely full I might have understood why they tried to sit us there but As it turns out we were the only table in there at the time. So we waited while the hosts pushed a couple of tables together for us which was a huge deal by the way she acted. So we get sat and we order from our server who I might add never introduced herself or told us her name the fried pickles and onion rings as an appetizer. The batter on both was falling off and I was expecting a little more than we received for how much they were. The dipping sauce for both apps was the same and very good. Spicy with a little smokiness to it. My wife asked for a side of ranch as it was too spicy for her to eat and to my surprise they brought out store bought ranch. Come on! If old Chicago can make their own ranch this place should be able to as well. So then we order two 14" pizzas. Which was believed by the description would be very large and feed all of us. Each one being 23 bucks you would think so right. Wrong! Very small and mediocre in flavor and dough. All the while I had to ask for refills. We might have asked for dessert but was never asked if we wanted any and then waited 20 minutes for the check to be presented and then another 5-7 minutes for the server to run the cards and get them back to us. I am a very understanding person when it comes to service. I understand people get busy and can't give the right amount of attention but there were several other employees standing around watching our server struggle through the three tables she had. Including what seemed to be and looked like manager that never came by and said hello or anything. Dudley's pizza will not last. There is no point of eating at this restaurant. By my calculations it will be closed within the next year or so anyway so why bother. I won't be back and if I can make one positive comment, the bus boy did a fantastic job clearing out table, and they have a framed painted print of the most interesting man in the world. That's it. Don't go, it's a waist of money. Should have gone to DJ's Dougout instead.

My wife and I didn't want to cook the night of Christmas. This place was one of a few places open. We got carry out. Pizza was awesome. We live about 15 minutes away, but the pizza still tasted great when we got home. We are definitely going to try eating in next time.
(5)Scott F.
Awesome restaurant! Had their Pesto Perfect pizza. It was delicious! Everyone at our table was completely satisfied with their meal. Love the location and atmosphere as well. A visit to Dudley's won't disappoint!
(5)Gita B.
A really great pizza place! There were a few kinks to work out right when the place started, but now it is amazing. The pizza is delicious, the PB&J wings are amazing, and the service is great. The owners are both local Omaha guys and really down to earth. My husband and I had a great time and will definitely come back again and again!
