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

Finally got a chance to try out their much talked about pizza....and we didn't get disappointed. We tried both the Thai and Lobster Pizza and loved both. Though we favored the Thai better. House Sangrias were OK, we think that the Red is more flavorful vs the White. Would definitely go back again.

Merry, joyful, happy hour! I loved the atmosphere at Pitch. It's the perfect combination of trendy, casual and light romance. Sounds like date night to me! The staff were on par: courteous, knowledgable and efficient. We were sat immediately on a Friday evening during happy hour (3-6pm). About half the tables were still empty. Our waitress greeted us right away and she knew her ish when it came to the menu and the specials and answered our random questions without batting an eye. The service was fantastic and everything from the water to the libations continued to flow seamlessly...there was never an empty wanting glass on our table. The hubs and I ate and drank for a steal off the happy hour menu. The cocktails are amazing and the beer list is decently diverse. We shared the Doc pizza. That sucker is fully loaded with all kinds of veg and spicy sausage. And by spicy, I mean it was much spicier than I expected in a good way. And it was very filling too.

Let me just start off by saying I have had good food (pizza mainly) at Pitch in the past. This review is based on my recent lunch at the restaurant. Although I have loved their pizza the several times I have been to Pitch, I decided I was more in the mood for a sandwich. There were several options that sounded delicious, including the sandwich of the day that the waitress described to us in a way that made my mouth water. However, I went with my gut and went for the buffalo chicken sandwich, that comes with tomato, mozzarella, red onion, arugula, and corgonzola cream. I was also given the option of fries, truffle fries (menu lists a $1 charge although our waitress did not mention this), or the mixed greens. The sandwich was good--not great and nothing special. It had a good taste, but I also felt that everything on the sandwich somewhat overwhelmed it. The bun is much too big for the sandwich and definitely takes away from the chicken flavor when you have a mouthful and the majority of it is the bun. Although I received a good portion of fries, they were horrible. They lacked any flavor or taste--so much so that I only ate a few (and if you know me, you know how much I like anything fried--so for me not to eat them is saying something!). I wished there was salt on the table to add a little something to the limp, weak-tasting fries, but alas there was only ketchup. A $12 sandwich at lunch time is a tad bit expensive in my book. There are plenty of other restaurants around town that have better lunch specials. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She was great about keeping my water glass filled. Overall, I was disappointed in my last visit to Pitch. But maybe it's my fault: Lesson learned not to go to a place that has 'pizza' in the name and order a sandwich!

I'm always torn when people suggest going to Pitch. I love their food. Sandwiches, appetizers, pizza, desserts - all are flavorful and well prepared. The servers are also attentive and polite without being overbearing. They've also got a solid bar, wine list and offerings for local craft brews. The one reason I always hesitate is the noise. It's INSANELY loud to the point where it's nearly impossible to carry on a conversation during peak dining hours. When we go, we intentionally try to hit off hours for a late lunch or early dinner. I'm not averse to speaking up when a place is busy, but the noise during their busy times makes talking across the table almost impossible. Unless you're willing to shout or carry on smaller conversations with only the people sitting to either side you may want to find a different place during busy times.

My fiancé and I finally went and tried Pitch for the first time after hearing so many great things about it. We decided to make a reservation solely based on the popularity of the place ( I would highly recommend a reservation). We were seated just a few minutes after our reservation time, which is to be expected of a busy place. Our waiter and his trainee were prompt with water and menus right after we were seated. The waiter was super knowledgable of the products and dishes they had. However, it took for what seemed like an eternity for them to come back to take our drink order. By the time they came back we had decided against the appetizer we were going to order and opted to just order drinks and our entrees. I had a burger which was incredible. You can add whatever you like to customize the burger to your liking. With the burger came fries that were luke-warm at best. For dessert I had the mascarpone cheesecake which was divine. The highlight of the entire meal was my red sangria. I think the alcohol made it less obvious that the service kept getting worse and worse as the night went on. Pitch's food and drink are the sole reason for the four star review, and I would absolutely go back for it. The service, unfortunately, needs to be addressed in the attentiveness department.

HOLY YUM! I'd say this place is Pitch Perfect! The food was absolutely delicious and such a treat to enjoy in Omaha. I ordered the rigatoni bolognese. Normally, this dish sounds pretty plain. Pasta with meat sauce? But at Pitch, they spiced up the dish filling it with delicious Italian sausage and meat. The flavors were so rich! To top it off, there was a ball of ricotta cheese on that top splashed with truffle oil! I was obsessed. My friend got the MIA pizza which also looked delicious if you're a meat lover! I definitely suggest coming to Pitch. It was a cute restaurant with bold and tasty flavors. They took standard menu items and made them their own with delicious flavors! So good!!
(5)Eric W.
Finally got to try Pitch pitch. Glad we had made reservations, I would highly recommend it. Our server was very knowledgeable, made some great recommendations. I had the Scampi Rigatoni; excellent portion sizes and best of all..big plump shrimp, none of the baby shrimp which I greatly appreciated! The food is 5 star, I would say our service was a 3 at best. As mentioned our server was knowledgable and pleasant but the attentiveness was lacking greatly. The wait times for everything got longer and longer, I can't even say when we last spent 2 hours out at dinner. Glass of water sat empty twice for probably at least 10 minutes at a time. Will definitely return; for the food, service leaves much to wish for. We literally probably spent more time sitting and waiting around more than anything else: 2:1 ratio at least. Lastly; they don't tell you but the homemade noodles is a $5 up charge. It was highly recommended, no mention of additional charge by staff or menu. Typically every place that I've gone to that offers homemade pasta it is always just an option or perk.

I guess I haven't updated my review for PITCH since 2011, so I'm overdue for an update. Pitch has stayed consistent in terms of food, service, atmosphere, and ambiance over the years. It has increased in popularity significantly, so while you could once come in during a rush hour and snag a table or a short wait, now the wait time will be much longer if you dont have reservations. Fri. Sat, Sun, you HAVE to have reservations or come on an off hour if you want to be seated immediately. Even the bar area fills up to standing room only during their busy nights. I recommend take out, which is something I have been doing a lot of recently. I find the food is not quite as good (fries a little soggy and not as hot, or pizza just not quite as perfect due to sweating in the box) BUT it will still fulfill that craving and you can eat it in the comfort of your own home. In sweatpants! I really like that the food is very very consistent here. I can count on almost every menu item to be prepared exactly how I remember it- and I have tried almost the whole menu at this point. My favorite chopped salad is now on the permanent menu and not just served at lunch which is a huge plus (and gripe in my previous review). I still love the truffle frites and the 2 peps pizza. Added to my favorites are the meatballs [the come in a few dishes, the sub, spaghetti, and as an appetizer] and the lobster mac and cheese. They often have specials for the day that are also innovative and yummy.

Who knew there was such a wonderful pizza place in Omaha? Rivals Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles, for a fraction of the price. Enjoyed homemade charcuterie, pizza with spicy fennel sausage and other with arugula, prosciutto and figs. Dean and Robert treated us like royalty and couldn't have been more gracious. Made perfect wine pairings of wines by Michael David from Napa--rapture Cab and Lust Zin. Then when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, Dean insisted we try a homemade pasta. He recommended a pappardelle with shrimp and sweet peppers in a lemon cream sauce. I don't even like cream sauces and this was phenomenal.

I had a friend from out of town and we wanted to meet up with some friends we hadn't seen in a while. One of them suggested Pitch in Dundee. Three of the four of us had never been, and we were all really impressed! We had heard you need to make reservations and did for 11am on a Saturday morning. When I pulled up there was a long line in front, and I thought to myself, wow...glad we made reservations! We got in the line and just minutes before 11am, the line started funneling into Scout Goods, the Vintage Store next door. I had no idea what the draw was, but thought it was funny that I waited in line for it. A couple minutes later the staff at Pitch opened their doors and it did start filling quickly. Our waitress was great and gave us plenty of time to figure out what we were going to have and made recommendations for popular dishes. At our table we had an order of meatballs, a pizza, one of the daily specials which was a potato and shrimp dish and a large salad. Everything was really fresh and delish. The atmosphere was a really nice setting for a group lunch. At the end we asked a hostess to take our picture, since it's the first time in years we'd all been together, and she went full on photo shoot with us, took all our phones, brought us outside for better light, and posed us under the Pitch sign, which resulted in some great pictures. I was super impressed by the entire experience and will be back! GET THE MEATBALLS!

Excellent place in a very cool section of Omaha! We were in town for work and some local friends in Omaha treated us to dinner and Pitch. They have a lot of different and delicious sounding italian dishes on the menu, but how can you come to a place with a coal-fired oven and NOT try the pizza?!? My wife and I had the Bianco Verde pizza and holy cow was it yummy! The creamy ricotta, combined with the sweet caramelized onions, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and arugula was so tasty. The crust was nice and crispy and had an awesome flavor. Our friends had the Shrooms pizza and although we didn't try it, it looks great! All in all, this is a great place, and I know we'll be back next time we're in town! Next time we'll spend some time after dinner checking out the rest of the Dundee area.
(5)Megan H.
Pitch makes my favorite kind of pizza...the amazing, crispy-yet-chewy crust true Italian-style pizza cooked perfectly over a hot coal fire. It is, without a doubt, the best pizza I've had in Omaha and some of the best pizza of this style that I've had in the United States (and even better than some of the pizza I've had in Italy). I like the pizza so much that it's the only thing I've had (besides the bruschetta...also good)...but let's talk about the pizza: Margherita is the perfect expression of pizza and theirs is good. There is usually a special pizza on the menu and they have some unique pizzas I want to try (like the pizza with figs, pears, goat cheese, and truffle oil...and the thai pizza). The weekly pizza keeps things exciting. Tips: make reservations (even on a weeknight), it's always been so crowded when I've been there and go during happy hour! The pizza and a bottle deal is great!

An outstanding restaurant with good service and tasty food. If you are going for dinner, best to book a reservation through Open Table just to be safe. Parking in Dundee is somewhat limited. If you cannot find a spot on the street, Pitch also has parking across the street in the lot associated with Grandpa C's Mart. Received a Pitch gift card for Christmas and wanted to check out the restaurant. The restaurant is decent sized and holds up to just over 120 patrons. Atmosphere is trendy with nice wood and metal accents with dark finish. Very nice. Service was friendly, attentive and helpful. Several specials today to include salmon, pizza with spicy garlic shrimp, and lobster mac and cheese. We opted to start with a couple appetizers. Got the Roasted Brussels Sprouts with garlic, house cured pancetta and grana cheese as well as the Crispy Eggplant with mozzarella, tomato sauce and arugula. Both apps were extremely tasty. I especially loved the flavor of the roasted Brussels sprouts. The pancetta, cheese and oil with the char of the sprouts renders a very complimentary flavor. If you don't like sprouts, try these and see if they don't change your mind. Main courses were Comte Mac and Cheese with house cured pancetta, spinach and truffle oil. Wife really liked the dish. Her only slight complaint was that it could have used a bit more truffle oil. I got the special of the day which was the spicy garlic shrimp pizza. Pizza was great. Crust was soft and chewy, shrimp were cooked well and the garlic oil with cayenne peppers along with cheese and basil were great flavors. Brought the heat....in a very good way. We were well pleased with our meals. The only thing that I would consider a slight drawback is the expense. Went for a lunch and dropped $68.00 dollars, not counting tip. The Shrimp Pizza though extremely tasty with numerous shrimp was pretty steep for a 12 inch at $25.00. Soft drinks are another thing, no fountain there, so everything is in cans. $2.00 a pop and we both got refills so that worked out to $8.00 just for soda. The other menu items; mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts and eggplant were reasonably priced. Just glad we had the gift card. A definite place we would hit again.

I finally got the chance to try Pitch last week and let me say I was not disappointed! I've heard that his place is hopping every night of the week and boy they weren't kidding. I went with a group of 5 on a Tuesday and we would have had to wait a while if we hadn't made reservations. The food is probably what keeps Pitch in business, but the decor and the service take everything to the next level. The style is trendy urban meets rustic and truly elevates the dining experience. Wood and exposed brick mingle nicely with modern shelving and creatively styled wine bottles. The pizza is the best I've had since visiting Rome. Coal fired crust and the meltiest, stringiest cheese make the perfect canvas for some unique topping combinations. We ordered several pizzas in our group, and among the favorites were the pesto chicken with balsamic reduction and the Marsala (who knew figs belonged on a pizza?!). On occasion I drink beer and wine, but I'm a craft cocktail girl at heart. I was so pleased to find out that Pitch had a nice selection (about 10 or so) of creative cocktails to choose from. I loved the one with gin, cucumber, and basil...though I must say $9 is a bit pricey for the big O. It hindered me from trying another :(

I have been here so many times and never a bad experience...in fact each time is always better than the last. The only pit-fall was our first time here when I brought my parents, poor mom and dad could hear a word anyone at the table was saying. It is noisy in the front of the restaurant...so if you are trying to have an intimate conversation, request a table near the back! Our servers have always been over-the-top helpful and very knowledgeable with outstanding recommendations. My least favorite thing I have had here is the Mac'n'Cheese...just too rich for my taste, but I have friends who order it every time. Recommendations for appetizers are the Crispy Eggplant (what makes eggplant better than frying it, loading it with marinara and throwing in some fried mozzarella?), Brussels Spouts (I have never been a fan, until Pitch came into my life and tossed them with pancetta!), the charcuterie board (can you ever go wrong with cheese and meats?) and the Buffalo Chicken Soup when they offer it! For entrees, my boyfriend swears by their burger, says it is the best in Omaha! Make sure you get the truffle fries and add a fried egg! The shrimp scampi is the standout pasta dish for me. And for pizzas, you just can't go wrong with any of them--love the classic Margherita, the Shrooms and the Bianco Verde the most. I have learned recently to just get the special though, it is always phenomenal! If my use of exclamation points is any sort of scale, I would have to say this is in my top 3 favorite spots in Omaha.

I found the place old, yet still modern and is quite nice in appearance.The service was good and the food came quickly.Once we got the pizza it was delicious.
(5)Paul C.
Our favorite pizza in town so far. Service wasn't the best but the food made up for it and overall this was a great Yelp recommendation. Don't get back quickly to most places but definitely need to find a way to make this one happen again. Quality toppings, good size pizza and fair value for the quality.
(4)Justin T.
Pitch is an ideal place for family and friends. Customer service was a make to my personality. It was like a group of salesman with the perfect pitch to get you hooked. My wife and I tried the eggplant and it was fried to the T. Creamy texture and fresh cheese. The wings were bake with wonderful sauses. Don't get me started on the pizza. 1000 flavors hitting you mouth all at once on a thin crust layered pizza.
(5)Bigg T.
Absolutely fantastic pizza, wine and meatballs! Don't forget the meatballs! This is a great place to take a date or a business associate - but remember, it's open seating and you may end up sharing a table with a few other people. Personally, I think that's pretty cool. Super fantastic wine selection. Did I mention the meatballs? Fantastic! You can also order some pretty spectacular grilled artichokes.
(5)Koshya W.
I love Pitch! Great restaurant in Dundee, Omaha. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I love the decor and the lighting, very indie vibe. The food and service is what makes Pitch a 5-star review. We went on a Friday night, my party of three only had a 15 minute wait, which is awesome. Side note, you can't make reservations with a party under 4, so coming in as a walk-in is inevitable. Anyway, the three of us ordered a variety of food. My boyfriend built his own pizza (which is rather convenient), my friend ordered the Bianco Verde, and I got the coal-fired burger. Both the pizzas were delicious, and not being much of a cheese person, the mozzarella was really fresh and tasty. Though most people will rave about the pizza, I have to rant about how delicious my burger was. It was cooked medium, just how I wanted it, and was very juicy and tender and also came with a house aioli sauce. My side was the truffle fries, which is literally to die for. To top it all off, I got the red velvet cake for dessert and it was so good! It was spongey, moist, and doused in chocolate syrup. YUM. Overall great experience. Our waitress was very attentive, they have a huge wine and beer selection, and the food is always excellent. Highly recommend if you are in Dundee!

So, I absolutely love it when I go to Pitch... Usually. My husband and I had a very rare date night. We were at Pitch after the dinner rush - around 8pm. We put our names on the wait list. Since there weren't too many people standing around, we thought, "Okay. Shouldn't be too long..." Right? Wrong. After about 45 minutes of waiting and watching a 2-top go unused, I asked my husband to ask the hostess how much longer the wait would be. When he came back, he said, "She said there are 6 other parties in front of us." SIX! No one was seated from the time we arrived through the time we left... After having waited for nearly an hour, it seemed absolutely ridiculous to wait for six more parties to go through before we could even think of sitting... So, for this trip to Pitch, the rating and review is based, solely, on the lack of communication on the hostess' part. Had she communicated the wait time and situation, we would have thanked her and moved on to a different establishment. Note to Pitch: if you have 2-tops available, seat your smaller parties... We usually get done faster than larger parties, and your turn-around is better thereby engendering more loyalty in customers...

I was really disappointed after coming here for lunch. Pitch came highly recommended for its pizza in particular. My group got the chicken basil pie and a bunch of appetizers since those were discounted during the 3-6pm time window. The pizza was alright but the truffle fries, meatballs, and flatbread all were underwhelming. I'm not sure what the the big deal about all of them were, because they were pricey if it were not for that happy hour discount. Worst of all, he server was extremely slow and the plates were all dirty. The only redeeming part about pitch Is the atmosphere, which was quite comfortable and had a great soundtrack. I won't be coming for the food again though.
(2)Rusty S.
Delicious pizza and appetizers, excellent service, and good value if you get the "pizza & bottle" weekday special-- just don't expect to be in and out quickly, and consider bringing hearing protection if the place is busy. We arrived on a Tuesday evening, and the place was PACKED. Even with a reservation, we had to wait a bit for our table to be ready. Once seated, however, the table service here was exemplary. Drinks were brought out in short order and appetizers not long after, but there was a long wait for the pizza to arrive-- not really surprising considering how crowded the place was. I'm sure that the primary reason the place was so hectic on a Tuesday night was the "pizza & bottle" special they run on Monday and Tuesday evenings: choice of any of their specialty pizzas plus a bottle of house red or white wine or carafe of Sangria for $30 (optional upgrade to fancier wine for $10 or $20 more). An excellent deal considering that the cheapest bottle alone is $30 on the regular menu! We went with the Quattro pie (mozzarella, goat cheese, smoked cheddar, grana) and Sangria-- both were quite tasty. The pizza was small-ish (they only come in one size, apparently), but enough for sharing between two--especially since we also ordered appetizers. The roasted brussels sprouts were amazing; in fact I thought they were probably the most memorable part of the meal. Our party also ordered and shared a large salad, olive plate, and bruschetta-- all good stuff! One complaint I had about dining here was the noise level: it was almost painfully loud in the dining room; at times I even found it difficult to hear the person next to me. Oh well, that's what we get for going for the "special" along with everyone else in town!

I have been wanting to go to Pitch for a very long time and this past weekend, I was finally able to. The ambiance is very smooth with dim lighting and nice chairs and tables. Some of the tables are very long tables and they kind of force you to eat with strangers if you happen to get sat at one, which I'm not a huge fan of. The menu is very simple, which is great. They have daily/weekly specials as well, and they all sounded yummy. My group of four ordered and in about 5-10 minutes, we were eating our food. One of the fastest ticket times for a restaurant that I have ever seen. I loved the pizza my sister and brother-in-law got, Shrooms, a lot more than the one I got, Bianca Verde. There was supposed to be caramelized onions on my pizza, but they weren't caramelized at all, just cut and thrown on it seemed. Also, my crust was pretty limp on the bottom, which I'm not a huge fan of. My wife got the Smoked Mac N' Cheese and it was amazing. Some of the best Mac N' Cheese that I've ever had. I also got the Creme Brulee and that was pretty good, even though I felt that it was a tad overcooked. (I still think the Creme Brulee I make is better.) Of course the prices are a tad higher than normal restaurants due to the upscale ingredients and notoriety of the restaurant, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, the experience was great and I can't wait to go back and try something else!

I love Pitch. I can't believe I haven't written a review. I remember my first time and I was so surprised by the atmosphere. It seemed like a place that would be somewhere else, not in Omaha. I love the community tables but prefer the short ones. They have tall tables with nice hooks for your purse but my clogs often fall off when I sit there. Pitch has a great happy hour which runs ALL day on Sunday. The best part in my opinion is the 1/2 price bottles of wine. The staff usually can make excellent wine recommendations and I have enjoyed some lovely wines there--at half price. Happy hour also includes $5 appetizers including the meatballs which both of my children love!! Appetizers usually are 2 for $12 and my favorites are the brussel sprouts and the truffle fries. I have converted many a brussel hater with these sprouts. Their salads are another favorite. Wonderful wedge salad, Their arugula salad is amazing with walnuts, pears, gorgonzola all wrapped up in procuitto! YUM!! I've also had the artichoke salad, the beet salad and the spinach mushroom salad and can say they were all amazing. I've tried many of the pies but my favorite is the Shrooms. At this point, I don't even bother getting anything else, because in my mind, nothing lives up to the taste of the shrooms. They have entrees and burgers too but I stick to pizza, salad and appetizers. Good selection of beers and some nice cocktails as well!

I have never had a bad experience here, the staff is always great explaining the special menu items, I was here one time and they had fresh Alaskan Halibut on a special menu, absolutely amazing.
(5)Eileen C.
Food is only okay, environment is not bad but service was terrible. Appetizers: flatbread, truffle fries, meatballs, and Brussel sprouts. Flatbread was overwhelmed with arugula.. Where was the flat bread??? Truffle fries were average.. Not bad but not great. Needed more of the truffle flavor. Brussel sprouts and meatballs were average. Didn't feel like either had enough flavor. Entrees: basil pesto chicken pizza. This actually was good in my opinion. Not the best pizza I ever had but in Omaha, I'm assuming this is not too bad of a pizza option. Would've rated a 3 but the service was just not good. Our server seemed like he didn't really care about his job, the customers, and was super slow. We came at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. It is not busy (maybe just 2 other tables but there was more than one server around). And he also forgot one of our entrees but didn't apologize and made me feel like it was my fault that he didn't write down our orders.. Not cool Pitch. Took forever to get anything (orders taken, check, water).
(2)Aubree E.
The interior is such a beautiful atmosphere and I loved the decor. However it's not a very intimate environment and it's pretty loud. They don't offer a lot of vegetarian options but what I had was delicious! Too bad they forgot our apatizer. And they ID!
(4)Matt K.
As a Omaha-born Brooklyn native, I feel confident saying that this is the best NY style pizza you'll find in the Good Life state. While their crust cannot match that of New York, the mozzarella and tomato sauce are easily on par with those in my Brooklyn neighborhood. Delicious salads and apps as well. We love the calamari, meatballs, olives in particular.
(5)Melody C.
First things first: Make reservations. I am so glad I did because it was one of those first few days of really nice warm spring weather. And it was a Friday night. I was seated near the hostess podium and they had to turn people away! Now about that food. Oooooh so good. I'm drooooling thinking about that food right now. I have three slices of leftover pizza in the fridge and they're calling my name. But I have to finish this review first. From all the tips about the Mia Pie ($18), I had to get it. The mozzarella was gooey, fresh, and stringy. Large pepperoni slices. Generous serving of house made fennel sauasage. (This was delicious btw. and surprising to me because I usually hate anyhting fennel. Just ask any of my friends. Me and fennel don't get along, but they made it work!) I thought for the price it was a little pricey for my broke student budget, so next time I'll go during happy hour for $5 off any pizza. One of my friends ordered the traditional burger with truffle fries ($11) and ohhhhh emmmm geeeeez, I snuck one of her truffle fries (and a couple more later, because you know.) deelicioussss. I'm going to have to order that next time I go because it was amazing. They seem have a lot of great food options here, from salads to pastas-- not just pizza. And I found myself with wandering eyes looking at what other people ordered and everything looked so dang good! Definitely one of the best places to dine in Omaha. 5/5 stars
(5)Anthony R.
Mediocre food and skull-rattlingly loud. We ordered pizza-to-go and I am glad we got our pizza and went. The twenty minutes we waited (after calling ahead 30 minutes before arrival) were wasted in noisy silence. I could not hear my wife sitting next to me. Interactions with the staff devolved into shouting, grimacing, and arm-waving. Why all the noise? Good live music, you might ask? NO. Just blaring low-royalty music pumped up to rattle the bottles behind the bar. Ambiance? Hipster has gone mainstream here, too. I suggest a false beard and some hair pomade if you're male, and a false beard and some hair pomade if you're female. Wear skinny jeans and GET SOMETHING PIERCED. You want to BE mainstream, not LOOK mainstream. Insert comment here about how I just don't get it, aren't with it, am out of touch, etc. Or just accept the fake that one can take a trend too far. Nevertheless, the pizza crust was good. What is it about burning the metamorphosed and lithified remains of ancient life forms that makes a pizza crust so tasty? Sadly, that is where it ended. The marinara was omitted from the pie. We noted this to the server and asked for a side after checking the pizza, and were charged $4.00 for what was supposed to be there in the first place. Uggh, I said. Ooorframaoffooleppal said the staff member (I think). He was very friendly, but could not understand the International Sign Language expression for "this pizza is dry". Why was the pie mediocre? The mushrooms..they were not sliced, but just thrown on there. Upon arriving they had formed a union in the corner of the box and were demanding justice or something. Don't get me started on the caramelized onions, either. They weren't caramelized, just greasy. I suppose I will put this experience down to a bad day. I can't really pass judgment on a restaurant in one visit. Everyone has those kinds of days. But they do need to turn the music down or issue ear protection to the guests. Also they need to pay attention to their craft. The pie crust was soooo good I would try the place again, but I would never dine in unless the noise level were reduced.

Why did I rate this place so poorly before?? I am certain my previous visit was during an off day. This last visit was truly AMAZING! I had the Bolognese Pasta, my husband had the Thai pizza and my mother in law had a cheese burger with Swiss. Everything was cook to perfection. I devoured my pasta. I chose to get it with homemade noodles, of which, I advise everyone of doing. My husband's pizza had a lot of chicken and carrots on it. A different kinda of pizza, so you need to be open minded. Now, my mother in law had probably the best burger I have ever eaten. It was cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful! You must get the special burger sauce that comes with the burgers. Lastly, our waiter. The last time we went to the Pitch I could not say enough of how poor the service was. This time was the complete OPPOSITE. Our waiter's name was Dan(I think). He helped all of us boost our meals. He recommended the burger sauce and the homemade noodles for our meals. He had excellent knowledge of the entire menu. He also recommended delicious beverages. He was consistent and made sure we were comfortable without being annoying. Overall, this experience outweighed our previous visit tremendously. I cannot wait to go back!

Cleanliness 4 Service 3 Food Quality 4 Likelihood 3 1-5 (5 Best!) 3.5 Our visit to Pitch. We walked up from our home near Leavenworth Street. Birthday dinner for 4 people. Our reservation was for 7:15, we arrived a bit early. We were warmly greeted when we arrived, thank you. I noticed immediately how "loud" the entry-way was, the dining room was fairly loud. If you are looking for quiet or low-noise this is NOT a good fit. The food was fresh. Mostly tasty and brought to table quickly. The glasses for iced tea and water are very small, probably 14-16 oz glasses. I advised the server that I drink a lot and a carafe would be a good fit. He said that is not an option and he would insure I don't run out. I ran out 3 times. He spent more time on tables that were all female. Restrooms were very clean, good job. Thank you. It was very busy. I thought it was interesting, this night, that most of those who were seated were female, I bet a 5 to one ratio. Food was ok. A bit overpriced, in my opinion. Service was just ok. Ambiance was visually appealing and very loud. If a trendy bar-restaurant, with food that isn't bad is a good fit for you. It isn't for us. I am glad we tried it.

Pitch presents themselves as a pizza place, however, I think their best food is not the pizza. The many other offerings on the menu are my personal favorites. I am not a big fan of meat so it is nice that they have good vegetarian options. Their white bean burger and eggplant parmesan are to die for. I never thought that "excellent" and "eggplant" would go together in the same sentence until I tried theirs. They also offer excellent salad options for the health conscious and I have yet to try a soup that I did not think was flavorful. They have a wide array of craft cocktails and many wines to choose from. The atmosphere is excellent and is multi-functional; from date night to a birthday celebration with family and friends.

I love, love, love Pitch. Probably my favorite pizza in Omaha. On each of my several visits I've always been blown away by their pizza, sides and more. Let's break things down a bit, shall we? Pizza: Sometimes being adventurous here brings the best results. My favorites have been the Bianco Verde (Ricotta cream, prosciutto, carmamelized onions, arugula, mozzarella) and the Shrooms (thyme cream, roasted mushrooms, oven dried tomatoes, grana, truffle oil). Note that the truffle oil on the shrooms pizza is a heavenly food-gazmic combination. Of course I've tried Willy's Favorite as well -- but have not been that impressed. I mean it's just a sausage and pep pizza. It's good and all, but there are better options, for sure. Salads/sides: You have to try the roasted Brussels sprouts -- are are nutty and a bit oily and pure deliciousness. Same goes for the roasted beet salad -- all around amazing with butternut squash, baked goat cheese, pistachios, beets and red wine vinaigrette. Fun facts: They pretty much cure all their meat in-house (what's that fancy word for that? Charcuterie?). Pitch is the latest offering from Godfather's Pizza founder and former owner Willy Theisan. Maybe Pitch is his way of apologizing for those terrible cookie pizzas? Basically, Pitch is one of the best spots in town to wine/dine/nom on some pizza and other delicious bites. And it shows as this place is ALWAYS PACKED!
(5)Cara C.
Best dining experience in Omaha. Our server, Joelle, was amazing and made our first time there awesome. Also, everything we ordered was seriously delicious. We got the brussel sprouts, truffle fries, and the $30 wine + pizza combo with the thai pie. It's perfect as a date night or for a large group. This is definitely going to be a regular spot for us!
(5)Jessica S.
Oh man! This place was good! We made a reservation, which is a good tip because it was busy on a Saturday night. The place had a good atmosphere and was pretty trendy. We were greeted right away and heard about their mouth-watering specials. Blue crab stuffed rainbow trout! YUM! But for $35, it was a little out of the price range. I ordered a cocktail. A blackberry and peach sangria. It was served in a wine glass, but more-or-less just tasted like red wine. I wasn't able to pick out the notes of fruit. Not sure if I am just acclimated to cheap or DIY sangria. The four of us ordered 2 pizzas, and the smoked mac-n-cheese. The mushroom and tomato pizza was good. I am not a huge mushroom pizza, but the tomatos were fresh and tasty. My husband got the Bianca Verde: caramelized onions (which seemed almost raw), fresh arugula (the best!), creamy ricotta sauce, and prosciutto. One of the best pizza combinations I've had. I would totally get this again! I got the smoked mac-n-cheese wich came with mushrooms, asparagus, shrimp, and chicken. This was by far the best mac-n-cheese I've ever consumed. So tasty and flavorful. Adding the shrimp really brought it up a notch! Not too bad for $20. Besides the high prices and the drink that was a let-down, I am excited to go back and try some more of their food.
(4)Jon P.
AMAZING. We had the coal fired herb wings and the buffalo chicken pizza (the weekly special). Let me just say that fresh arugula on a buffalo chicken pizza works. Great. The service was fantastic (Nancy was our server) and the atmosphere just works. Getting set at a community table was an experience not to be passed on. Next time we are in Omaha we will be back.
(5)Steve S.
By far one of my worst experiences in Omaha. The food was not too great, the service was worse than terrible. We got the truffle fries, meatballs, flatbread and a chicken basil pie. The flatbread seemed like it was an abandoned house that was overrun by arugula. Honestly, we had to use a machete to find the cracker it was sitting on to cut through making it able to share. The meatballs may have been the best portion of this meal. They were moist and had a decent flavor, however, they did not have enough sauce. The truffle fries had a good flavor and were interesting, but, obviously it is difficult to make a meal out of truffle fries. The chicken basil pie was interesting to say the least, had a decent flavor, however it was small and overpriced for what it was. The service was possibly the worst I have ever received, our server took forever to take our order, forever, to bring our food, forgot our truffle mac and cheese, then after making eye contact with him multiple times, still failed to come over to the table. This is by far the worst service out of all of our meals in Omaha.

Been hearing all the hype about Pitch, especially with the Top 100 Hotspot in America distinction, and decided I just had to try it. Not like anyone twisted my arm. Who doesn't like coal-fired pizza? Exactly. First off, this place is busy. Had reservations for 6 pm on a Saturday night and the place (although some seating was open) was essentially packed, and it just got more and more packed throughout the night. Great atmosphere, Edison lightbulbs, community-style seating down the middle (separated seating elsewhere) -- definitely a cool vibe perfect for Dundee. I'd done my research on the menu ahead of time, and knew there was a wide range of items as far as price goes. Dinner entrées all seemed enticing, but for my first trip I knew I had to try a pizza. My wife and I decided to split, and we went with the Shroom pizza....and we picked a winner. Fresh tomatoes, thyme cream, delicious mushrooms. This pizza was worth every penny. And to top it off, it was served piping hot in what seemed like minutes after we ordered. Washed it all down with an ice cold Strongbow -- a great meal. Sampled my brother-in-law's Bianca Verde pizza and although I enjoyed it, I was disappointed that the "caramelized onions" weren't even close to caramelized. They seemed to be put on raw and were cooked just a bit so I had to pick them off the slice I tried. With the onions removed, I did like the pizza. Didn't love it, but I thought it was good. I mean, who doesn't like prosciutto on a pizza? But the Smoked Mac 'n Cheese was, hands down, the star of the show. Tried a bite of my sister-in-law's very generous portion (nicely done, Pitch) and was amazed by the depth of flavor, richness and the quality of the ingredients. So so so good. Sampled the Crème Brulée for dessert and thought it was on par with most of the créme brulées I've had. It got the job done. Service from our waiter, Matt, was top notch. He knew how to describe every item with great detail and enthusiasm, and with a busy, busy night he kept up with service just fine. He definitely did a great job in describing the special -- he had me wanting to try it, but the price ($35) re-oriented me toward pizza. Would love to come back to Pitch and sample more pizzas, but without a doubt want to try some of their entrées -- especially the halibut. Definitely check this place out.

Let me begin by saying they have some of the best wings in town. Really. When they have a capable staff in the kitchen, the wings are outstanding. Other than that, there's really no reason to go there. If you don't have a reservation, expect to be scolded and then kicked out, even when there are plenty of open tables. Mediocre pizza, overpriced specials, lackluster service and food quality that's a roll of the dice -- sometimes food's prepared well, sometime's it's baked/roasted/grilled beyond recognition -- doesn't make for a very pleasant evening. We've given them the benefit of the doubt more than once, thinking maybe it was an off night. But the constant drama of standing around waiting for a table when there's a sea of empty ones, the high prices and so-so food is a constant. The indifference of the management to all this is astonishing. We'll miss the wings but we won't be back. Don't say you weren't warned.
(1)David C.
West location has one of the worst servers I have ever encountered. Do not go there if you service within half hour-food takes a least an hour even though the restaurant was empty and shots took at least constant asking the bar. I love the service at the other restaurants, but don't ever go out west. Got moved between 3 waitresses and only 1 was good. Worst service out west by far
(1)Sarah G.
Apparently I'm waffling here... (Mmm, waffles). Because on the topic of Pitch I've now gone from 4-stars to 3-stars and now back to 4-stars. Try not to get whiplash here... Our most recent visit included pizza (obviously) and some of the lighter side options. Ironically when I polled people on my Facebook page about what to order I got a ton of recommendations for Pitch's vegetable-heavy dishes... also the meatballs. Having enjoyed the Arugula Salad a couple times previously, we branched out a bit and followed the recommendation for Coal Fired (of course) Long Stem Artichokes. And while the menu describes these as coming with 'lemon dipping sauce' it was really so much more. Yes the sauce was amazing, yes the artie's were nicely charred, but they arrived with a bed of lettuce and light dressing with tomatoes. Great dish for sharing. I was still coming off of my summer goat cheese peppadew kick, so those were on order next. These were pretty much exactly as described, but I was disappointed that the salad overshadowed the dainty poppers, which gave the appearance of a sidecar rather than the main event. Still, delicious. Can't really complain too much about that. Pizzas were pretty spot on also. We had the Marsala: figs, goat cheese, pears, arugula, truffle oil, mozzarella and the crowd-pleaser Mia (Willy's Favorite): tomato sauce, fennel sausage, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella. None of my former qualms surfaced... plus it was $30 bottle and pie night, so who's complaining now?! I'm not really a big wine drinker, probably due to lack of education, but I do know that the Pitch Black red blend is really right in my wheelhouse. And with so many more tantalizing items that I still haven't tried, I predict another trip back in the near future. Have things changed or is Pitch just growing on me?

Came into pitch at around 11:45 am, and had a really rough lunch with my wife. I ordered the BLT special with a salad, my wife ordered a burger with fries. The BLT arrived with Bacon that was quite literally black. So much so that I didn't even have to complain to the server I just pulled out a strip of bacon and pointed to it. The server suggested that we apply new bacon to the sandwich (. . . Great) I just asked for a cup of soup instead, as I was in a rush. The burger arrived with a pre moistened bun, which was pretty gross to touch even on the very top. While the service was fine, and the replacement soup was fine.We still paid full price for the lunch which was the worst meal I have been presented in a very long time. For the level of investment in this place, and the prices charged/quality ratio should be much better.
(1)KyeongMin L.
I love their chicken pesto pizza. However, their portion is not that big. I can eat their pizza all by myself. Good food and good place to hang out with friends. service is really good.
(5)Justine R.
Good food and wine. Nice attentive servers. They will work with you for vegetarian and non dairy options. I wish they had not gotten rid of the white bean cake.
(4)Jennifer M.
Pizza is always delicious. Any pie is a good choice but have to say the Mia is my favorite. As far as appetizers you can't go wrong with the meatballs but the best thing is the Rosemary wings! Love! Thanks Willy!
(5)R S.
I've had a hard time finding good pizza in Omaha. Pitch definitely has it. Make sure to also get an arugula salad and a bottle of wine- you're going to want this meal to last as long as possible.
(5)Michael T.
Overrated. Very hard to get a table or even take out when it gets busy and the food has never been better than just ok. Decor is nice and it's usually a hip crowd so you might really like it - most people do. I just don't think anything they serve is worth the hassle of dealing with this place.
(2)Jordan S.
We kept hearing about Pitch so we knew we needed to give it a try. It was no surprise that the place was packed and we had to wait 30 minutes to get a seat. The wait was definitely worth it! The pizza was delicious and the atmosphere made the food even better! I love that you can watch the chef bake the pizza in the coal-fired oven. The service was great and the restaurant owner even brought over some free truffle fries for us to try. They were delicious and we will definitely be ordering them again on our next trip. We ordered the tres peps pizza which was so tasty. I love that the serve the pizza on top of a turned over can. It is a fun but also classy restaurant. Overall a great place and we can't wait to try it out again!
(4)Christopher B.
I'm a pizza snob. There's no other way so say it. When one is born in the Boston area and ends up living for a short period in NYC metro area, one comes to expect certain things in a great pizza. Tasty crust. Adequate sauce to toppings ratio and a variety of delectable toppings. Pitch is one of few places in Omaha that meets these criteria. Their custom pies are great, but they have just enough great protein and veggies toppings that one can make his/her own masterpiece if desired! But pizza isn't the only fantastic thing at Pitch. Other food menu items and signature drinks are quite tasty too. Combined with a low-key welcoming atmosphere, incredibly friendly service team members and a great soundtrack playing in the background, Pitch is a prime place to relax with friends after a long day of hard work!

This review is for the Yelp Burger Brigade trip to Pitch. Excellent job by Will S. coordinating things and making everyone feel welcome. What a nice, friendly group of people! If you've been on the fence about going to one of these Yelp events, come out and do it. The service for our event was great. Very attentive and on top of things. Groups can be difficult on servers, but ours handled it without breaking a sweat. Great job! The burger itself was pretty good. It was a little hard to eat, I needed a knife and fork, but I still enjoyed it. It was cooked to order and well seasoned. Another Yelper suggested getting it with the white cheddar and that suggestion was spot on. I also had mushrooms on mine and they were very good. A very generous portion of truffle fries were the side. I adore Pitch's truffle fries. They are always hot, crisp and perfect. Pitch is first and foremost an excellent pizza place and I'm sure I'll go back to ordering pizza next time around, but I'm glad I tried the burger. It hit the spot just fine.
(4)Deana W.
This place has it all! Ambiance, service, and delicious food! Apparently the rest of Omaha knows it too, so make reservations. This place gets packed! The decor is modern, with wood, stone, stained concrete and funky drop lights that illuminated the room just enough to be cozy and intimate. The menu is well rounded, with a little something for everyone. There are steaks, pasta, salads, appetizers, and the fire roasted pizza, which is why I made the trek from my hotel downtown. A salad and a pizza was enough food for two hungry people, but just enough! Cuz my dinner companion, all but licked the plate. I highly recommend the Tres Peppas pizza. Thin crispy crust with Pepperoni, Pepperoncinis, and jalapeños. We added onions to produce a pizza of utter perfection. Prices are a little lofty. A 12 inch pizza for $17 and our peppadew and goat cheese salad was $9 But, I am certainly not going to quibble, when the pizza and salad were so delectable. Just be aware that impressing your date won't be as cheap as carry out Lil Caesars. But, hey! You're not that kinda girl anyway!
(4)Jose G.
This was our first visit to this place since moving here. It was recommended by some good friends. The atmosphere was great! The bartender was very friendly and on top of it during our whole time there. We tried the bruschetta and shared one of their pizzas. They have a great happy hour as well. We will definitely be back to visit again.

Its been a while since I last lived in Omaha, 1999 to be exact. And when I lived in Omaha its culinary prowess was not exactly something the city was known for. Now granted Omaha had its few hits and places that were fairly tasty. Most places offered your classic americana dishes, burgers, fish/seafood, pizza, and so on. But in the 15 years that I've been gone some things have changed for the better in Omaha, especially in terms of that culinary prowess. The number of quality restaurants in Omaha has seemed to dramatically increase and for a foodie like myself this is music to my ears...or stomach. Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria represents that culinary explosion that has seemed to come over the city. Upon my visit to Pitch I was surprised to find that it had a very urban and hip feel without any sense of pretentiousness. This is great place for a casual date, hang out with friends, or just enjoy a casual and fun night out with your significant other. Their extensive wine menu offers a bit a class to Pitch and on Sunday nights bottles are 1/2 off! I also love the menu at Pitch. From a variety of starters, to their delicious salads, their chef inspired pasta's, and oh yeah their delicious pizza's. Pitch offers a little bit of something for everyone. I ordered the Heirloom Spinach Mushroom Salad and the Bianco Verde Pizza. I absolutely loved both! The salad was amazing. First of all this salad doesn't need added meat and this is coming from the most carnivorous person I know. The mushroom are so thick and substantial that it adds a meat like heartiness to the salad. Then the feta, the quinoa, and the pistachios create a unique flavor that you will not find in many salads. Then there is the pizza! Oh my goodness. We went with the Bianco Verde and it was everything we dreamed it to be. First of all, the tastiness of this pizza starts with the crust. So perfectly light, airy, and yet filling at the same time. The Bianco Verde is taste so fresh and creamy. The ricotta cream base paired with the freshness of the arugula and the saltiness of the prosciutto makes quite a tasty pizza. Lastly, we order the Bread Pudding to make this one of the most perfect meals ever! The bread pudding is a must if you have room for it. Soo...make room for the bread pudding! Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria is the absolute real deal. Everytime I come back to Omaha I will make a visit to Pitch. But what would really make me excited is if Pitch decided to build a location in Houston, Tx where I live. Their pizza would seriously be some of the best in town and I would be their quite often!
(5)Robbie A.
From CA and new to the area. My landlord recommended I try the place. Needless to say, it was a great recommendation. The food was great (amazing truffle fries). The service was super excellent. The staff was on it and super friendly. 5/5 all the way.

I love this place! Great Pizza, great meatballs, and amzing bread! Don't miss it if you are in the area!

I'm going to have to stick with 4 stars for this time. I had been to Pitch only once in the past and that was before I got bitten by Yelp. I also had a different eating philosophy. Today was another stop on will S' Burger Brigade. I think I may be up for a promotion in rank. The first thing I saw were the shadow people. It was pretty dark. It was late lunchtime. Reservations for the 'Gade had secured a table near the bus area. Our server came over to us as we arrived a bit early (who wouldn't be on time for foody yums?) and offered recommendations and opinions.I got an Odell's IPA to start. Wifey got a great red blend wine A few others arrived and sat at the table with us. A shout out to Hector, Regina, and Trish! All new to the Brigade and excited to be a part of it. Soon enough,our Burger General shows up and we start to talk about food. Appetizers ordered were Veggie sliders, for me, brussel sprouts, meatball sliders, and an an Olive bowl. I was a little surprised that my sliders were just some steamed veggies and arugala. I don't know what I thought it would be, but I was off guard. The olive bowl was pretty good . 3 kinds of olives and some foccacia spears. I am not a fan of olives and these ones had pits. Still pretty good. Since this is the Burger Brigade it makes sense that we talk burgers. Wifey got a veggie sandwich the kitchen made sure was vegan and that was pretty good. It appeared to be a full size veggie sliders sans white cheddar. I ordered the crispy white bean burger. Since capers make me cringe, the mustard sauce was on the side. the house made pickles were tasty, but really thick. I had to smash my burger sown a few times just to be able to eat it. It didn't hit home. It was a little shy on flavor. Nothing stood out as any sort of OMG moment. It was just a burger. Bummer. I will be back, but will probably just focus on a beer
(4)Happy D.
The service is very good. the food is prompt. Portions are huge and the food is good. The pizza is avg. the restaurant has a good vibe with good music. fun place to hang out. brought the kids with issues.
(4)Teagues C.
Very confused on the reservation procedure here... Called around 5pm and wanted to make a reservation for 3 at 6:30pm and was told you could only make reservations for 4 people. Recruited others and called to make a reservation for 5 at 6:30pm and was told that reservations could only be made more than 3 hours in advance at that a table could only be guaranteed for 9pm and to call around 630pm to inquire about a wait but that I could not be put on a "list." Bizarre that this all couldn't have been relayed on the first call.
(1)Matthew M.
Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria made me and my family the best pizza I've had in a while. The reason I said it is good for kids is because the bar is in a separate room than the regular. My personal favorite is the Mia pizza with sausage, pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. If you live anywhere close to Pitch and have not yet eaten there, I encourage you to visit them. P.S. it was so great that we went back the next day.
(5)Milton T.
Excellent Midtown Mary (Bloody Mary), truffle fries, and spicy shrimp pizza. Service was great....very friendly and attentive staff. Definitely a place to be.
(4)Ali L.
Went here again for dinner on a Friday night. Wow, was this place busy!! Still a tad pricey, but what bothered me was that the waitress added on an automatic 20% "large party" tip, when we only had 5 people eating, and a baby in a highseat drinking from it's bottle. I wasn't impressed by this method one bit. The food was good, except the calamari appetizer was a bit soggy. I'm not sure how that happens, but it wasn't all that good. The Shrooms and Chicken Basil pizza were both good, but my new favorite is the Chop Salad. Might just stick with that next time and call it a day. Also, their meatballs are as large as your fist. The most impressive part was Willy Thiesen was there checking on tables. I love seeing when owners check on their restaurants. For that reason alone, and the salad, we'll be back..
(3)Brooke U.
We found this place by accident when leaving the airport and were very suprised at how wonderful the food was.
(5)Rowena M.
It's hard not to fall in love with the vibe of this place. Be it with a group of friends, a fun date, or even with the family, I can see how this local joint can be a neighborhood favorite. I'm not from Omaha and there must be some explanation to a pizza place not having a more extensive selection of beers on tap, but my friend "Stella" was around, so I was ok. We made 2 pizza choices - a Margherita for the kiddos and the pie of the week which happens to be chicken pancetta. Accompanied with goat cheese, pappadew peppers and parsley, the pizza had a lot of flavor. I might have appreciated a more substantial crust as ours tended to be bullied by the strong toppings. Another gripe was the price tag - $25 for a pizza?! (pizzas only came in one size) C'mon! The ambience was hip but sometimes, the only excuse for really loud music is if it's coming from a live band. Otherwise, the buzz of happy people eating their pizza may not need to compete with blasting music. A solid spot and one I would visit again.
(4)Chris O.
This is a neat little place in a neighborhood called Dundee. Despite my dislike of anything having to do with coal, it's pretty good. Pros: Great ambiance. Great service. Excellent wedge salad. Good selection of beers. Cons? Pizza a little on the salty side. Possibly from the olives. Pizza not quite saucy enough. Had to order a side of sauce for $1.00 to sauce it up. Pricey for what it is. But they were busy so I could be wrong. My tab for 1 13" 2 topping pizza, 1 wedge salad and 2 beers was $38.62.
(4)Rachel S.
One of the best restaurants in all of Omaha. I highly recommend going here and trying as much of the yummy food as you can. Aside from the great food, the beer and wine list is great and the ambiance is to die for. The detailed lighting and décor is just so heartwarming. Go! Scampi, Pizza, Salads-try it all!
(5)Reed N.
This place is about a millimeter from 5 stars. Excellent pizza. Incredible salads. Stellar service. Great location and ambiance. I had the roasted beet salad and just loved it. I was both pretty and flavorful. The pizza of the day when I was there had a white sauce (very little), filet mignon slices, arugula, and a few other toppings. It was excellent, with a nice crust that was properly cooked. You will notice wine bottles used as decor everywhere here, which makes me want to come back after hours and have some to drink (with more food). : )
(4)Stephen F.
I think this is one of the best places to eat in the Omaha metro area. The food is fantastic. Pitch is a great place for pizza or any of the entrees. The meatballs are amazing, the pizza selection is great and there are always a number of enticing specials.
(5)John W.
Pitch! Listen people. The food was amazing! The servers know their menu well and promote their strengths! I highly recommend stopping in and checking it out! Very down to earth establishment that let's the food talk and not their dress code. Lastly I was impressed with the open conversation about other specials the have during peak seasonal time fore other foods. Great job Pitch!
(4)Beth C.
I come here every time I visit Omaha. It's a great date spot. I love the Shrooms pizza with the thyme cream. God yes. I am fortunate to live in NYC aka a foodie's paradise. It makes me so happy to see places like this in Omaha, and I hope the food scene there continues to grow. I've tried most of the pies and salads and they have all been great. Skip the goat cheese peppadews as they are served cold and are underwhelming. Definitely go on Sunday night! If you are a true wine lover, you can get an extremely nice bottle of wine for half price. That is a huge draw. Definitely come at an off time. It can get very very full at peak times and after events, such as Creighton games. I was adamant about introducing a few friends to Pitch one night for dinner. We were quoted a 40 minute wait, and they seated us after 90 minutes with no apology or gesture to recognize it :-/ Instead, as they seated us, they told us the pizza will be worth it. I think they maybe just didn't realize the amount time they had quoted us. (I recommend the FOH to really make use of the Opentable waitlist feature to avoid this) I was a bit embarrassed to keep my guests waiting that long, but at least the food was very good as I knew it would be. All in all I do recommend! Great pizza, great wine list, friendly staff. Thank you!
(4)Moira R.
Pitch is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha and I love taking out-of-town guests here. I have never had a bad meal! Their pizzas are all delicious but my favorite would have to be the Marsala. The combination of figs, arugula, goat cheese, pears, and truffle oil is so unique and so incredibly delicious! I also love their truffle fries and their wings - their wings are some of the best I have had. Their burger is also great and has a lot of high quality options you can add to it. Their mixed green salad is also one of my favorite salads. The sweet onion vinaigrette is amazing!

I'd give it 0 stars if I could. The food is sub-par, the building was freezing, the wine was skunked, and I came away with the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had. Avoid this place at all costs.

This is one of the best restaurants in Omaha! My friends and I almost always get together here at least once per week to eat and have drinks. The ambiance and the trendy/intimate/modern atmosphere is wonderful (my friends and I have discussed on many occasions how we want to design our future homes/kitchens like the interior of Pitch!). This would be a perfect place for a date-night as well. :) The menu is out of this world! I have never had anything here I didn't like! I mean, I don't even like meatballs that much - Pitch made me like them again (but only theirs!). I feel like I've tried almost all of the pizzas at one point, all of which are incredible. The brussels sprouts appetizer, truffle fries, everything. Try it all! For drinks, the wine menu is excellent and they usually have some sort of drink special.. Last time I was there, they had a lychee and pomegranate martini - YUM! I've also heard the tiramisu is incredible - Definitely trying that next time!

First time here and I must say I'm quite impressed!! The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the street. Plenty of seating with great service... Oh, and the pizza is Phenomenal!!! We told our server it was our first time her and she explained everything wonderfully!! Will definitely return!! I highly recommend the chicken pesto pie!!!!

After visiting Boston and being introduced to truffle fries I was excited to visit Pitch to have their burger on the brioche bun (something I came to appreciate during a visit to Hershey PA) and the fries. So right away my senses were assaulted by the noise level (I have 3 young kids at home...the last thing I need during a meal is a decibel level greater than that which I am subjected to on a daily basis there during mealtime)! So on to the appetizers. The calamari was chewy like say....gristle. Onion rings were ok minus the one that was a peeling. Next, the much anticipated burger and truffle fries. About 3 bites into my burger I bit down on something as hard as a bone. Fluke?? Nope my sister also found some foreign nastiness in hers. Both hard stuff like bone and more gristle type yuck. I ordered mine medium well and it was pink in the center. Oh and the bun was burnt! Also, several times (like at least 4) people (all employees of Pitch) ran into the empty chairs at our table which was super loud and annoying. No one even really bothered to say "sorry bout that". We also got a couple pizzas...they were just ok. The chicken on the pesto one was dry and rubbery. Good flavor overall though. As far as the service goes...our waitress was "a bit out to lunch" if u get my drift. She was rather apathetic and seemed off in some way hard to describe. Oh and the fries too were just ok. Not worth going out of my way for and certainly not worth a return visit here. Lastly, parking was kind of a pain.

Each of the six out-of-town guests I have taken to Pitch left hoping to return. The trendy atmosphere buzzes (not a quiet place for conversation). Service is fast and friendly. From large interesting salads, to brussels sprouts, to wings, to burgers, to perfect crust pizzas the food is unique, wholesome, and delicious. Reservations on popular evenings insure a table.
(5)G F.
Every thing was great we split two apps shared a entree salad and pizza all items were very good our Server was spot on. Cool vibe to the place. I do have some small things that bugged me and this could just be me but the general manager Was helping bus tables ( good job way to support you staff) and clearing the glasses by putting his fingers in the dirty glasses ( just a pet peeve of mine). Music was a little on the loud side (again just a me thing). Best meal I've had visiting Omaha. Keep up the good work!
(5)Bree M.
I don't like coal-fired pizza but the meatballs are really tasty and I've had good luck with some of the salads (though they are too big for one person) and entrees. The food and wine is a little expensive but tolerable. The music is WAY too loud so everyone is yelling and it gets ridiculous. I asked the waitress if everyone complains about the music and she said "all the time". Why don't they lower it then?! Annoying. Some of the waitstaff is overly talkative and obtrusive.
(3)Aaron G.
This place was phenomenal. Friendly staff, great wine, and great food. I was there for a company dinner so got to try a ton of different appetizers. All of them were good, but the only things that really stood out were the meatballs and margarita pizza.
(4)Chris M.
Best pizza in Omaha. They tend to go traditional but blend in a little innovation. You could also make a meal for two with several of the appetizers, especially their fries and wings. Make no mistake though, you come here for the pizza, and it's than thin-crusted crunchy kind with just the right amount of char. Wash it down with a local micro-brew, or wine. About the only flaw to pitch is the lack of draft beer. The midwest is starting to produce some notable breweries, and I would hope Pitch eventually realizes that craft beer and craft pizza go hand in glove. I've been to Omaha half a dozen times and Pitch is always a must.
(5)Kathy R.
Came here on a very busy Saturday night. We were a party of three, arrived at 6:15 waited 75 minutes for a table. We were told when we arrived that the restaurant doesn't give estimations of when a table would be ready and that it was against their policy to do so. Could that be so you don't leave if the wait is extremely long????! We were told by a not-so-nice hostess that there were only a few tables ahead of us so I surely didn't expect to wait as long as we did. Pizza and salads are good and the restaurant is nice, but loud, inside. I understand that you can't even make a reservation for a party less than four which seems quite unfair when it takes the same amount of space as a 4-top. I'm not sure I'll dine here again -- if this restaurant was in a bigger city with more food options, they would surely have changed their reservation policy by now.
(2)Katie C.
I had lunch at Pitch last week with my work team. We were seated quickly and given water immediately, but it took awhile for our server to come and greet is and also tool about 20 minutes to have our order taken. But, once we had our food I was in heaven! We shared a chopped salad which was massive, fresh, and wonderful. We also shared the truffle fries as an appetizer and they arrived hot and crispy and were the perfect artery-clogging companion to the salad. For the main course, we shared a Thai Pizza and the Mia. I loved the crust; chewy, hot, and crispy all at the same time. Thai wash favorite. The chili spice balanced well with the veggies, but I will say I would have preferred the carrots cut a different way. Thick cooked medallions on a pizza made for kind of a strange texture. When it came time to pay, we also had to wait a bit. We didn't have separate checks, so I'm not sure why it took so long. Overall I really loved the food and the space is beautiful. I will definitely be back!
(4)Ruth B.
So far I've eaten here 3 times, but it is quickly becoming a favorite. I usually go for the Margherita Pizza, which is great. I've also tasted a few other pizzas and they were all good. Recently went for a special occasion and had the surf n turf. The steak was wonderful, melt in your mouth. The lobster was tasty, but the serving size was a bit small. The sweet potato fries were good, but I think regular veggies would better compliment the meal. The brussel sprout and warm olive appetizer is a must have. The atmosphere is great, very comfortable and great for meeting friends or a romantic date. Only draw back is that if you order a coke it comes in a can (I enjoy a fountain soda when I eat out). But, the ice tea is great, so that's a good choice. Get on over and give Pitch a try. Great food, good prices, and great atmosphere.
(4)Ashley B.
Went on a Tuesday afternoon and ordered the Mia pizza with a bottle of Pitch Black wine. Enjoyed both together. Also tried the meatball sliders as an appetizer and those were just scrumptious. Love the décor inside and the music they play is just perfect. Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely return to enjoy their half price wine special and try some more apps!!
(4)Meg P.
Stopped here on a trip from Colorado to Ohio and loved it! The pizza was delicious! At first we thought it may not have been enough for two people but it was a perfect portion. If we weren't driving I would have tried some of the local brews. I also have to give a shout-out to whoever created their playlist, super hipster-y but it was as if they had stolen my itunes playlist right out of my ipod! Love it!
(4)M M.
Anna, the server, was fantastic, knowledgable, and accommodating. We enjoyed her. Most of the food (the Marsala pizza, truffle fries, and weekly burger) were wonderful. However, we did not enjoy the Weekly Goat Cheese and Fennel Sausage Pizza or Lobster Mac-and-Cheese. We would have been fine with this but when we mentioned it to our server the owner, Dean, was absolutely unprofessional. He was aggressive in his questioning and made us feel as if we were only complaining to remove the food from the bill. It was embarrassing and unprofessional in our opinion. We hope others have a much better experience than we did. Unfortunately, we will not be back.
(1)Jessica A.
The pizza here is really delicious - crispy smoky crust, nicely chosen pizza types and nice wines. We loved the salad and appetizers but the best part was the friendly staff. Really felt welcome here and on a cold day it really got the spot.
(5)Meghan K.
I went in the afternoon and mentioned to my server how I needed to come back in the evening sometime so I could try the duck. She asked the chef if he would be willing to make it for me for lunch and fortunately he went out of his way and made it for me. It was amazing! I also have to recommend the truffle fries and brussel sprouts. I will warn that the evenings on weekends are VERY busy so don't be upset if there is a long wait without a reservation. If you can, sit in Nancy's section. She was very personable and helpful.
(5)Taylor J.
We had the meatballs as our appetizer, they were large and delicious! Then for pizza we had the basil pesto chicken with tomatoes and it was awesome!! My drink of the night was called the "Sure Thing" and it was great, refreshing with a jalapeño hot twist In the after taste. The service was fast and friendly, only complaint was that it was extremely hot inside the building, we just wished they had opened up the door to get a breeze in.
(5)Josh R.
We've been here a couple times. I've had fries, beer, and pizza. All very good. Really liked the beer selection. To me, the pizza was good, but not great. Even though it's good, it is almost too busy to be worth it on a Friday or Saturday evening.
(4)Claire W.
Came here last night with a group of 4. We were told there'd be an hour wait at 6:10 - not a problem, we were expecting that on a Friday. We hung out in the vestibule and had drinks while we were waiting to be seated.... for two and a half hours. The hostess was really apologetic and said that they had simply over-reserved, but we were obviously disappointed that the wait was so long. Dozens of patrons came in and immediately left after being quoted couple-of-hour wait times, and several groups left after waiting too long. I don't know if they need to adjust how many tables they reserve or what happened there, but even though the service was outstanding and my food was delicious, I don't know if I'd ever try to walk in again.
(4)E. M.
Great place for pizza and pasta! I had the Scampi Rigatoni and I was not disappointed. Love the atmosphere and staff is friendly too.
(5)Maddy G.
So glad a place like this exists in Omaha! Now only if they did gluten-free crust. Had a wonderful time with my whole family here. Liked the Bianca and Mia pies. Had a really great bottle of merlot and plate of cheeses, figs, prosciutto etc. Very fun, social neighborhood place. Great service.
(5)Tara J.
The pizza is phenomenal and I appreciate that they offer gluten free options. The place is super packed usually, which means it can be noisy and take a while to get a table, but you really can't fault a place for being popular. Also, try the brussel sprouts!
(5)Jeff P.
First off, get a reservation. We arrived at 5:30 with no reservation and had to wait. Not a long wait and it was certainly worth it. Interesting food choices on the menu. My kind of place. A chance to eat things I can't make at home. Everything we ate was delicious and Pitch has certainly earned being on the top 100 best restaurants.
(5)Jack H.
Today I stopped by for a quick lunch alone, sitting at the bar. Ordered the meatballs and the chopped salad. Six big beautiful meatballs showed up, with a flavorful red sauce redolent of basil and romano. Very nice. The chopped salad was generous: mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, Italian peppers, artichokes, and goat cheese, in a basil-pesto aioli. Bonus points for the music, Gang of Four, in the bar.
(4)Dave N.
Food quality: Always beyond expectations. Food presentation: Beautiful. I find myself turning my head to see what others ordered. Favorite menu item: Margarita pizza with pepperoni. Service: Always above and beyond. Environment: Beautiful lighting, layout and materials. The community tables are fun. Other comments: Always impressed with every aspect of Pitch. Pitch is a client of my company, but I like them even more knowing how passionate they are about their food quality and service. They're always thinking of how to provide a great experience. I highly recommend them.
(5)Allison S.
Amazing service, great food, fun atmosphere, yummy drinks, a good wine selection... The list of awesome things about this place is a mile long! Best pizza I've EVER had too! It's a must try...
(5)Bob S.
This is a really, really good place. Phone ahead for seats if you can. Chicken pesto pizza, spicy wings and a traditional pepperoni for the kids. There was not a bite left. The house made sangria tasted like Summer. Service was great. We went on a Monday at 5pm so not a real challenging time BUT the place looked well run both up front and in back.
(4)Kate H.
Pitch could be a trendy pizza shop in any of America's biggest food cities. The wine selection is very good. The food is fantastic. They cure all their own charcuterie. And the pizza is nearly as good as the wood oven pizzerias of Napoli. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. I was shocked at how busy they were for a Sunday night, but it really added to the ambiance. I probably could do without the TVs playing Sunday night football I'm the background. We ordered two bottles of the Travaglini, a tiny wine region north of the Piedmont, which paired excellently with the food. However, the waiter admitted he knew nothing about the wine -- maybe a little wine education is in order for the staff, considering the extensive list. The meatballs and charcuterie plate were both excellent starters, but the calamari could use a little seasoning. The table's favorite pizza was definitely the bianco. This place is really solid; I will certainly come again on future visits to Omaha.
(4)David S.
What a great place. Not only do they seat you on community style tables so you can talk to other people, but the food is absolutely delicious. Very well done and a place I would visit again and again.
(5)Katelyn K.
Best food I've had since moving to Omaha. My husband and I shared mushroom pizza and the meatballs appetizer. They were amazing! BUT- the most impressive part was the sangria.. So good! The only reason I'm giving them a 4 star is we waited for a hour and half for a table of 4 when they told us it would be about 40 minutes. So you need to make reservations.
(4)Adrian W.
I don't eat pizza often which is one of the reasons I enjoy this place. While the pizza is always delicious, i.e the Mia, Bianca and the Filet Pie (which was outstanding as a special and should be on the menu!), the rest of their menu is pretty spectacular as well. I won't lie, there are some things I just don't like that others seem to enjoy, like the new lobster risotto. You should check out the new duck entree and if they ever have sea-bass as a special, the chef cooks it beautifully. As my friend Anthony put it, even the potatoes taste like meat. Incredible. And try the tiramisu. Seriously.
(4)Jason G.
Good pizza. The first thing that came to mind was the word trendy. It's family style seating so you might be eating with strangers. Very friendly staff.
(4)Nick E.
Started off with waiter pouring beer 50-50 foam to beer ratio. Somehow as people dwindled out, service time increased by few orders of magnitude. The manager was very accommodating after our waitress strayed off and forgot about us. This is trying to be a Punch Pizza, but marked up 50%. Confused why this was considered a destination restaurant. If this is Omaha fine dining then count me out.
(1)Danny M.
Pizzas are unique and great. Thin crust loaded with great toppings. Easy to share amongst a large group. Great beer selection too.
(4)Matt C.
Best pizza place in omaha. The pizzas are tasty and orginal with moderately priced wine. The atmosphere was cool but the music was a little loud. Our service was pretty good. Would also recommend the salads, I have had the arugula and the chopped salad. Usually it is pretty crowded during weekend evenings so a reservation is often important
(5)T B.
I try to rate based off what I think the restaurant is trying to achieve, and I'll give 5 stars to a cheap pizza joint if I leave there feeling like I got exactly what I was expecting and a little more. After eating at pitch, I didn't walk away feeling like I got what they project themselves as. And I had the feeling like I wouldn't want to come back. All the food tasted ok, but nothing was really that exceptional. The food presentation was lackluster and showed signs of fatigue. Service was slow and bored. It's all very unfortunate. I remember being excited about this restaurant when it first opened up...
(2)Crystal E.
For all hype I was expecting more. My husband and I have eaten here twice and found the whole experience rather middle of the road. The first time we came out we were in Dundee and decided to pop in on a whim. The restaurant was full and they seated us at a bar table by the front window, which was an excellent spot. The look and feel of the restaurant is clean and modern and from where we sat we could see the grill and pizza oven if we turned around and could people watch out the window. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable even on a busy night they took their time with us. We ordered their Quatro and split it finding the cheeses just okay. The crust was nice and chewy but everything on top of it was a bit bland. The sauce nor the cheese was very flavorful and we left feeling a little underwhelmed. If you are going to make a cheese pizza, give it some flavor! But we thought maybe we just happened to order the wrong pizza and we would give it a shot another time. Sometime later we stopped in again during lent. The staff was again knowledgeable and polite though it was a little after lunch and the restaurant was not crowded. This time we ordered the Marsala and their specialty of the week, Lobster pizza. The crust as again fantastic and the stuff on top, just okay. The Marsala was unmemorable and the Lobster was disappointing. The lobster meat on top was cooked before they baked the pizza and then baked again resulting in dry rubbery meat. If the review was just on the crust and the service I would give this 4 to 4.5 stars but the toppings leave a lot to be desired as far as gourmet pizza goes.
(3)Craig W.
Friend's burger came out red and bloody. Waitress said it was medium. The manager then berated my friend that she had eaten too much (one bite) to get a new burger. Hipster environment makes sense that service is so horrendous. I would recommend staying away. Not worth it.
(1)K S.
A rounded-up 4-star review. To start, the pizza is very tasty and the ingredients really take flight. This is what "better ingredients" really means. The challenge I had with this pie was quite simply the size. Honestly, I've never paid $25 for a pizza that small. Now, one can't assume pizzas can all be $10 when getting a truly fresh pie, but color me shocked at the pricing/size ratio. This is one of those, "I wish Yelp had 3.5 stars" event. All things considered, though, I would go back, but only if the company was treating dinner. The atmosphere is great and a busy weeknight can make you feel like it's a Friday. Breaking up the work week here will definitely treat stress with ease. Service is decent, but like most places they may struggle at the rush. An immediate draft selection needs improvement as only Stella is on tap. Ugh. Not for pizza! All said though we don't have an in-between rating so the 4 stars wins... but you could use an extra inch on that oh-so-pricey pie!
(4)Shannon G.
Truffles fries are amazing! I like to go here to have a drink & really enjoy the atmosphere. The pizza is always great & the service is good too. Downside: the espresso machine was not working & my husband really wanted a cappuccino after dinner.
(4)K. H.
Absolutely amazing place. From the food to the drinks to the customer service. My husband and I are moving out of state but we had to come to pitch to have their housemade parpadelle pasta one last time and their buffalo chicken pizza. Unfortunately the buffalo chicken pizza was their weekly pizza and wasn't available when we went but Dean was amazing when we called and said that they could do it for us. We got there at happy hour and had the whole place to ourselves. We leisurely had the truffle fries (best fries of my life!) and a couple drinks. When we received our food, everything looked perfect. The housemade parpadelle tasted FANTASTIC! The buffalo chicken pizza, however, was definitely not what we remembered. We sent it back which is something we HATE to do. We're totally not those people! The manager at the time came over and was so awesome and told us about their process of different weekly pizzas and how they're made differently week to week. The people here are great as is the food! They were so accommodating. I'm so sad we're leaving! Can't wait to come back in when we come to town! Bye bye Pitch!
(5)Chryz C.
This place is now my favorite pizzeria in Omaha. I went there for lunch and ordered the truffle fries and Tres Peps pizza. My friend and I absolutely LOVED the fries! The pizza was great---crispy crust with a nice kick from the peppers. I love the decor/vibe of the place and I will definitely return.
(5)A R.
Every time I come here, I have to get their Moscow mule and the roasted brussels sprouts. It's tossed with garlic, pancetta and cheese and is delish! It's a close tie or runner-up to j. coco's brussels sprouts with miso and bacon...yum! Their Basil Chicken Pesto has become my recent favorite along with just the basic cheese.
(4)Heather B.
Just realized my first 3 Yelp reviews were all 2 stars so decided I was well overdue to stop anyone form thinking I'm the negative nelly of Yelp. So here it is- one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. Pitch has become a Dundee staple and a go-to place where I take visitors from out of town. Their main fare consists of thin (my favorite) crust pizzas with interesting and fresh- often local- ingredients such as fennel sausage, cage free eggs and arugula. But- they also have the surprising entrees like truffle Mac, steak and a variety of sandwiches. Great wine collection for any palate- nice craft cocktails- and nice selection of beer. Have been here many times and the service is always great. Not to mention that the owner- one of the founders of Godfathers- is often seen in the restaurant helping in the kitchen and bar. Two considerations for any newcomers. 1. Very lively and noisy so if you're looking to have a deep conversation this might not be the place. 2. One of the only places in Omaha with a consistent wait. I suggest making a reservation.
(5)Lauren O.
As an update to our previous review from 4/6/2013. We were contacted by someone at Pitch after our initial review was posted. We were put in contact with the VP, Dean, who personally called me to apologize about our experience and invited us to come back and give it another shot. We decided to try again, as our first experience was all very positive up until the last five minutes. We went again on a Friday evening, waited a few minutes with a cocktail and got a seat up at the bar. Dean was there and introdued himself to us.and sent us a bottle of wine. The spot that we had at the bar was awesome. We were more towards the wall, so it was a bit more private. The bartenders and cocktail server were all very personable. We had some specialty cocktails that were great and something unique that we hadn't had anywhere else. Mine had a hint of cilantro, which made it very cool and refreshing, especially for a summer evening. We started off with the truffle fries and wedge salad that we had had previously. They didn't disappoint. We decided to share the scampi rigatoni and branch away from the pizza. It was amazing. The couple next to us even commented on how they were jealous of our ordering. The menu had just been updated and there were several items that sounded delicious. In the future, we'd probably make our way through the non-pizza menu because we were seemingly more impressed with those dishes overall on both of our visits. Our second experience ended better than our first and we will definitely be back. We had a conversation with the owner this time and my fiance had complimented the steak dinner that we had on our first visit. We were informed that Pitch actually cut their steaks to order, something that we didn't know previously. In sitting at the bar and chatting with the people next to us, we realized that they had just purchased the house directly across from us in the neigborhood, so we felt even more connected to our new community. Pitch is a Dundee restaurant that can serve a variety of purposes, whether you're looking for drinks and apps, a casual dinner, or even a fancy night out. We know that not every experience is always perfect and we appreciate that Pitch reached out to us and corrected the situation. We're excited to put Pitch back into our Dundee restaurant rotation.
(4)Matt S.
Tried this place last night and was blown away! They have an expansive wine menu, and a large selection of menu items. I tried the shrimp pizza, it was a weekly special pizza, and it was fantastic!!! I have to say that the buffalo wings were my personal favorite. Went with a rosemary sauce that was unique and delicious!!
(5)Ashley H.
NEVER again! So, 12 of us went for a b-day. We ordered $800 in food & drinks. Willy came to us & said: "Can you wrap it up...I have some 'resies' (reservations) waiting. I'm gonna need your table." We were actually finishing our drinks & heading elsewhere, maybe contemplating one more drink. A female at out table said, "Sure, if you want to pay our bill we will get out of here a lot quicker"...not knowing who he was. Willy: "YEAH, that's how I became so successful, I just give sh!t away! I'm gonna need you to get moving" We were stunned! Wow, he's pompous! Plenty of other classier pizza joint owners, & w/ better food! One star for our good server.
(1)Patrick E.
The manager and hostess were so mean. We have spent hundreds of dollars at this place over the past few months and to be treated with such disrespect is deplorable!!
(1)Sasha F.
I would have given this place a 5 stars if it wasn't for my last visit. My family and I have been frequent visitors to Pitch ever since it opened. The pizza is so good, actually everything there is really great. My daughter has a milk allergy, so for me what made Pitch exceptional was the fact that they always accommodated her by creating a smaller pizza for her with no cheese. She's 7 (age 4 when we started going there), so giving her an entire pizza to herself would be too much, so I always really appreciated Pitch for making it enjoyable experience for all of us! They would often even ask her what shape she would like - she always chose the heart. Our last visit to Pitch, two nights ago, we were told that they were not going to be able to create a special order for my daughter. Being that we have been there likely over 15 times and have always had this special order created for us, my family and I were very disappointed and no longer felt like a valued customer. Instead she had a regular sized pizza to herself. Great that she could eat something without milk, but very disappointed that we were not treated in the way we had always been before. I hate to be the person having to request special orders, but my daughter's allergy is something out of my control. I don't expect people to make special orders if they can't or don't do it (I'll go to restaurants that have no problem doing it and that's fine), but when you've always done it and then decide "nope, we no longer do special things for valued customers," then I no longer see it as a place that appreciates my business. Customer service is something I value greatly. Also, the beans have been bland the last few times I've been there. In closing, pizza is great, but not a place to go if you like feeling like a "regular."
(2)Tim Q.
First time I am writing a review on any restaurant. I truly believe that service and food quality to eventually take down a restaurant especially in a city like Omaha where a new restaurant pops up every week and their is a large selection of top quality places to eat. So here I go: Pro's: Environment- Fun, Hip and inviting except for the music. Had a hard time having a conversation with people that came with us. Drinks - Really good even for the price. Pizza: Very good but you can get as good or better pizza other places Calamari - very good Con's: Servers- She explained the Watermelon salad to be nothing close to what actually came out on the plate. Service - After we complained about the salad which I'll explain below in food quality, the manager came over and said that the salad is like that because "local" people prefer it that way. WHAT? If someone isn't happy, just take it off. The salad was $15 and it was watermelon, goat cheese, arugula, and a vinaigrette. Im sure they had enough margin in this salad to take it off if someone didn't like it. Food Quality: Mac and Cheese- The pancetta wasn't even good through so you were chewing on uncooked fat. Watermelon salad - 3 small pieces of watermelon that had the rine still on it. Yes, the while part of the watermelon and the "locals" like this. One small piece of goat cheese, a small pile of arugula and a vinaigrette. Very disappointed Pizza and drinks were great. This is the second time we have tried Pitch. First time the service was also poor when we brought 10 people in but it was right after opening so I thought we would give it another chance. I wouldn't recommend it. Very disappointed from poor service.
(1)Jessica G.
Went for lunch with my boyfriend around 3pm (happy hour 3-6) the meatball appetizer Was amazing and filling for only $5! Yumm!
(4)Katie F.
The Mac and chesse is the bomb and same with the shrooms pizza. I will admit my soup was not hot but was still very tasty. Some of the best service I have ever had in a restaurant. I will definately be back.
(5)Mark G.
Fun place, great atmosphere, great location. Raises the bar for Omaha in the causal chic category. Starting with the Prosciutto & Arugula salad - the presentation of which will make you think differently about salads, to the meatballs, to the Truffle Fries everything is thoughtful in terms of pairing of ingredients and presentation style. Pizzas are made and I see that they are continuing to branch out and try new combinations to challenge the imagination. Crust is evenly cooked compared to other oven-fired pizzas in town. Sauce tastes naturally sweet, but not over done. The ingredients are fresh and as I said, the combinations continue to be exciting. We are working down the list of all possible pizzas and combinations, but as mainstays would recommend the MarGherita:, Mia, Meatball pie and Shrooms pizzas. Wine selection is pretty good and diverse. Wish they had more beer selections on tap.
(5)Mike H.
Unbelievable! Visiting buddies in Omaha and this spot was suggested and then became a quest as parking is just a bit of a challenge. Wow was it worth the struggle. No pizza was ordered but the table saw a burger & fries, spaghetti & meat balls and a prosciutto & arugula salad with grilled chicken on the side. Mine was the Prosciutto & Arugula salad and it was amazing. Now if you know me you would think I'm not the salad eating type other than a typical iceberg or caesar salad. Well I'm finding salads to be very "delightful". This salad had an amazing balsamic vinaigrette dressing with apples and walnuts and some Italian cheese I can't remember or pronounce. What blew me away was the presentation. The prosciutto was formed into a cylindrical container to hold the salad with the chicken on the side. Amazing presentation. Amazing taste. Grilled chicken was season and tasty as well. I had a few of the truffle fires, good not spectacular. The meatball portion next to me was too much for the orderer so I tried a few bites. The BEST meatballs I've ever tasted. Am looking for a reason to visit Omaha again so I can try the pizza.

Hit or miss. The mac-and-cheese was a "hit"; the pizzas are more of a "miss." The salads are over dressed. Every time I dine here I want to love it but leave merely liking it. The owners need to step it up a notch and not be content with just being "good" in Omaha.

This review is long overdue. I love Pitch - it is my favorite place to eat in Omaha. I love sitting at the bar here, the bartender Nick is great. On Mondays and Tuesdays you can get a pizza and a bottle of wine for $30 which is great, and if you don't finish your bottle you can take the rest home! The food is always delicious, everything is fresh. I love their dinner specials. I will miss Pitch.

I've tried the gluten free pizza twice now. Both times the crust has been doughy.

Fun place to get together with friends and share a pizza and some wine! I don't know if they have that special anymore but I think on Tuesdays or Thursdays they have a wine and pie deal for like $25! Can't beat that! Not a pizza person? The meatballs and the tagliatelle pasta are amazing!

Finally...I made it to Pitch. Five ladies, two apps, two salads, two pizzas, two bottles + two glasses of wine - $123 before tax. Here's the sitch - the olive bowl was delish. Fresh minced garlic and rosemary on olives made a great starter and a definite must-order. Both the beet salad and arugula salads were very good and I especially liked the presentation of the arugula salad (all wrapped up in a long strip of prosciutto). The salads are large and perfect to share. We were all very pleased with the bianco verde and veggie pizzas and would definitely order both again. The crust was thin and not over bready and both pizzas had a perfect balance of toppings. Also, I really appreciate not being gouged for a bottle of wine. You can get a decent bottle in the low $20 range. Nice. If it's any indication, every leaf, olive, crumb, morsel and spot of wine was devoured. The service was so-so and I wish they would've seated us at a larger table, rather than squeeze five of us in the center four-top. Nonetheless, I'd give it another go.

Pitch is the kind of place that makes me forget I am stuck in Nebraska. Love the design and lighting, love the food, love the music (heard them play songs from my favorite band at least three times when I was there). I went here for lunch with a colleague. We had a cute server, really liked her jewelry. Anyhoo, it was my first time there, and she was really patient in explaining the menu and patient as we decided to tailor a pizza. The pizza came out pretty quickly and was great. The crust wasn't too thick. It and there was a nice chicken to cheese to added veggies ratio. We shared one pizza and I think it was just the right amount. Later in the meal, another server person (manager?) at some point came by our table and noticed some smutz on our water carafe and took it away to get a clean one. But, she never came back with one (she seemed busy). We had sodas and water, so it was fine. The summertime lunch crowd seemed to be a mix of older neighborhood folks and 20s/30s. It was lively, but not so loud that you couldn't hear what people were saying. Will definitely go again--the salads looked pretty good.

I adore Pitch. It is so beautiful and delicious. First of all, they had my favorite beer, Blonde Fatale, which made me fall in love with the place off the bat. The ambiance was amazing and the staff was welcoming and attentive. We sat at a table near the front facing the street and they opened the garage door thingy and it was AWESOME...like, can we install one of those things in my apartment? My fiance and I started off with the mixed appetizer of brussels sprouts and truffle fries. They were both flavorful and super tasty. We ordered the comte mac n cheese and the bianco verde pizza. The comte mac n cheese was the best mac n cheese I have ever had. The truffle flavor and bits of pancetta made the dish. We also had the bianco verde pizza. It was delicious and we especially liked the arugula on top, as it reminded us of our trip to San Francisco. To finish off the night we had the chocolate cake with chocolate ganche. Perfect end to omyum night. Is going back for lunch tomorrow too early??

Went to Pitch Pizza and it was great!! The only problem I had was the music was way too loud. The waiter we had was awesome. It was my wife and I's first time so he explained the menu to both of us. I would recommend Pitch to anyone. Steve in Bellevue
(5)Chester V.
Solid place. The service staff could use more direction on their work attire as they look ratchet and disheveled. Our server was not trained well or knowledgable about the menu, nice but nice gets you base points when working in a service industry. Don't think this place would thrive in most other places around Omaha. They are nestled in the perfect spot.
(3)Erin F.
My fiance and I ate here while visiting the Omaha area apartment hunting and we absolutely LOVED it. The brussels sprout appetizer is amazing (we were able to take off the bacon to make it veggie friendly) and the pear and arugula pizza was to die for. The atmosphere was also wonderful and despite being crowded we were never rushed to leave.

We were in town for CWS, hot and hungry and with 2 small kids in tow. Stumbled upon Pitch thanks to Foursquare and WOWZA. They open this place in Charlotte and we'll be regulars. Decor is fabulous, edgy but not overkill. We were treated as guests, family, not obvious out-of-towners. Seating is at shared tables, which the kids thought was weird but which led to a fun conversation about baseball. The food? Simply amazing. I had the Thai pizza which was spicy but not painful, ate the whole thing. No draft beer but the bartender kindly helped create a snakebite for me anyway. Talk about service. My husband had the veggie pizza and he couldn't eat it fast enough. Kids had huge portions and didn't complain once. Service was friendly, fast, efficient. The owner stopped by to chat which I love. This place is a jewel, Omaha. Don't miss out!
(5)Corey B.
Im a frequent visitor and have never had anything prepared poorly or taste bad at Pitch. The only thing that sucks about the place sometimes is the wait to get a table. Get their meat ball appetizers and i prefer either the Mia (sausage and pepperoni) or the Tres Peps (very spicy pepperoni with yellow and halapeno peppers). Their house wine the pitch black is very good too.
(5)J L.
5 stars for the ambience and service 4 stars for the crust 4 stars for the truffle fries 1 star for the Thai pie. very disappointed with the topping, the sauce was flavorful but not much of it. The chicken didn't have any flavor at all. They should skip the carrot slices on this pizza and chop up the cilantro a little bit instead of leaving the whole stems of cilantro on the pie. I would go back to try other toppings because I loved the crust and the vibe here. It reminds me a lot of Pizza Luce in the Twin Cities area.
(3)Michele L.
Yum and love the atmosphere! Nice little bar if you have to go alone!had the Marsala pizza, gluten free! Next time will try a salad!
(4)Josh H.
The atmosphere is fun, seems almost like a hipster eatery but that's pretty typical for Dundee. So I stopped in for lunch today and sat at the bar, my server was quite attentive and had big genuine smile on her face the whole time.. I ordered the house salad which was delicious and huge-- love the gorgonzola beans.. With my salad I had a personal pepperoni pizza-- and it was delicious as well. The people sitting beside me ordered the wings and they looked so good, I'll be ordering those next time! Only downside was the price, for what I had above plus an ice tea my total before tip was $19.67 which is pretty steep for lunch..
(4)Craig B.
Our first visit to Pitch was on Valentine's Day. Having heard quite a bit about this place, we had to check it out. Calling ahead, we found out that the place was booked solid that night but that there might be an opportunity for a table later in the evening so we showed up around 9pm and found a great place at the bar. The bartenders were very engaging and quick with our drinks. The food was very good and the atmosphere was upscale and energetic. We will definitely be back. Many thanks!
(5)Chris D.
I'd give it a 2 1/2 stars if I could. Went on a weeknight and the place was very crowded. In addition to the normal crowd it appeared the mayor was hosting a party as well. There happened to be 2 seats at the bar, so we squeezed in. The bartender was quick to get our drinks and take our order. I ordered the Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Walnuts, which was their soup of the day. The soup was fantastic...great flavor, creamy and rich, and I liked the small chunks of walnut sprinkled on top. Really came together with the soup! We ordered The Mia pizza which had fennel sausage and pepperoni. We ordered pepperoni on only half of it. To our surprise our pizza came out 10 minutes after we ordered it...that seemed odd. I expect wood fired pizza to be somewhat crispy...our pizza was not crispy at all. The crust seemed soaked in grease...even the half without the pepperoni. The pizza was crunchier near the end crust, but only very near the end of the crust! I do like fennel, however there was so much fennel on the sausage it really overpowered the taste of everything else on the pizza. The service was great and I really enjoyed the soup....just not sure I'll go back...was too greasy for me and I like a little crunch on wood-fired pizza.
(3)Michaela K.
NOT IMPRESSED. I could have cooked better meatballs. We had the pizza of the week which was some time of shrimp pizza that was very bland. And the truffle fries were okay, but nothing to rave about. Overall, we won't be back.
(1)Joe J.
Came here with my brother, his wife, and her parents. I cannot wait to go back. I can't remember the three pizzas we all shared, but they were excellent. I do remember them all being quite unique though. The interior was very aesthetically pleasing and the atmosphere was kind of loud, but not overly noisy. The price of the food was kind of expensive, but to be honest, it was worth every penny. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area.
(5)Jim L.
Stopped in tonight around 8:30 with my daughter (father-daughter date before she heads back off to college). I'd heard they had a fellow who makes the sausage and cured meats in-house, and I've been wanting to give that a try. I had only been here once before, shortly after they opened, and walked away thinking, "Hey, not bad, but the prices are a bit steep, and the pizza is no better than what I make at home." I thought maybe the home-grown meats might make a difference. And boy, did it ever. We went for the pepperoni-sausage combo, and ordered a mozzarella, pepperonata and cured meat appetizer. My only complaint about the appetizer was the single slice of fresh mozzarella to go with the other good stuff. When I asked about the seeming paucity of cheese, the server happily wandered off to get us some more. The rest of it consisted of a pile of slightly pickled peppers, made in-house, that was very tasty on the toasted bread that came on the side, along with a number of piles of thin-sliced delectable cured meats, again all made in-house. Not a thing wrong with this appetizer, and certainly worth the ten bucks. The main dish was wonderful from the first bite. Huge, paper-thin slices of pepperoni over a shredded mozzarella and tomato sauce base, with slices of fresh mozzarella and chunks of sausage on top. I have three slices left that'll make me a fine lunch tomorrow. Can't wait for lunch. It was that good. The pizza was still a bit steep at 18 bucks, though, and that's the only reason I withheld that final star. I get the impression I'm paying for ambiance (and maybe the lack of acoustic tile; boy, is it loud in there!), and I'm one of those who couldn't give a rat's pitootey for ambiance when it comes to good pizza. So maybe now Pitch is as good as the pizza I make at home. I'll grudgingly admit it. But it won't be in three months, when the meat guy opens his own shop! Yeee-hawwwww, bring on the pork!
(4)Carolyn H.
My sister and I saw this place a while ago and thought it looked pretty cool. We finally got the chance to go there on a Saturday and we sat down for a late lunch. I ordered the "Open Faced Veggie" sandwich and my sister, who loves basic cheese pizza with no toppings, opted for the 8-inch Margherita pizza. First off, my sandwich was amazingggg. it was super good. I loved the crispy eggplant topped with all the veggies - red, green peppers, zucchini, etc - with the cheese melted right on top. The only con was that I wasn't really sure how to eat it. It's an "open faced" sandwich so there was no piece of bread on top so I couldn't hold it like a regular sandwich. And it's pretty big to attempt to eat it as such. So i decided to cut it with a knife and eat it in pieces. It's pretty sloppy that way, but still good. My sister liked her pizza, but it was just plain - nothing out of the ordinary. Also, I had a side of truffle fries, which I thought came with the meal since our waitress asked if I wanted a side of fries or salad, but it was actually a dollar for the fries (which i"m not mad about, but would've liked to have known that it was an additional cost and didn't come with the meal). The service was nice, casual, and fast. I would definitely come back again and would love to try one of their specialty pizzas.

I was skeptical about this place, as sleek decor, happy hours and "gourmet" pizza are three things I never really seek out. However, despite the annoying high tables, cold, uninviting design and our waiters need to yell everything and call us all "dudes", I was somewhat not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. The menu, though mostly boring and totally done to death (and please, lay off the truffle oil!), did have some interesting choices, such as the Marsala; a fig, pear, goat cheese concoction with arugula, which we tried, as well as the classic Margehrita. Both were very nice, but I think the saltiness of the goat cheese was overwhelming and not that complimentary to the pears, which had slightly too much of a bite to them, not to mention my disappointment when I saw that the aforementioned figs came in a puree, of sorts, and not actual figs, which in my opinion, would have been more interesting taste/texture wise. Friends tried a soup du jour, which seemed forgettable, as well as the burger, which got rave reviews from the meat eaters at the table. Another bonus was their beer selection, which had a beer from back home, St Ambroise apricot beer, perfect for summer time living. Very enjoyable, and i was happy to find something like that in Omaha. Overall, I'd say Pitch is just alright. The pizza's fine, the service a little too casual, the decor a little too serious. Fun if you're into that kind of thing.

Liked: ...decor Disliked: ...no free wi-fi--they have it but wont give out the password. wtf? every other restaurant in the neighborhood has it for free. lame. ...no reservations ...I have been there three times, and twice there was a 1 1/2 hour wait and I left. the last time I went when they opened at 4:30 and had a horrible experience. ...just my preference, but I hated the burned flavor of the crust. my pizza also didn't have enough cheese and was extremely dry. I think that's something chefs should notice as the other pizzas ordered had more toppings. ...waitress hovered quite a bit and was too talkative for me. didn't need to hear her rambling opinion about every item on the menu. ...drink prices were crazy ...hate the communal seating. it was a nice experiment but don't go here for a private conversation or intimate evening. ...prosciutto was mega-gross I REALLY wanted to like Pitch. Pizza is my favorite food. But it was just disappointing and I will never be back.
(1)Ajay R.
i like pizza but i don't consider myself a pizza snob. the pizza is solid here; not much flavor in their dough and their cheese is good, but great ingredients on top and comes out hot and yummy. they have successfully brought new york city prices to omaha; pizzas anywhere from $13-18. beer selection excellent. so why only 2 stars? worst collection of desserts i've had in a long time. (and we tried 3) the flan was mehhh, the tiramasu was plain and all i tasted was whipped blandness. and the absolute worst part was the 'creme brulee' It was sunk down into the dish so it was about 2 millimeters tall and it tasted perfect...if you enjoy the taste of crisco. jeepers. worst dessert ever
(2)Mark J.
Fantastic coal fired pizza. Super fresh ingredients. Get the Leonardo.
(4)Jarell H.
Absolutely great pizzas and beers!!!
(5)Amanda S.
Pitch has delicious pizza with lots of gourmet toppings. My personal favorite is the marsala - topped with figs, goat cheese, arugula, pears and truffle oil. I've tried several of the pizzas and they're all very good. It is a little pricey though ... entrees and pizzas hover around $15. I think their pizza and a bottle of wine deal is definitely the way to go - one pizza and a bottle of wine for $25 - perfect for 2 people to share. I think this deal is only on Monday and Tuesday nights after 7pm, but correct me if I'm wrong. I've tried a couple of their deserts here as well, and they are delicious, so save room! The atmosphere is great - really nice ambiance and decent service.

This place is right by my cousins house in Omaha, we all met here on our way driving through the middle of the country to NYC. It was perfect. The neighborhood is awesome (I had no idea it existed) and was super pleased on the atmosphere, people, customer service and the food. The brussel sprouts were YUMMMY and the pizza was fantastic (thin crust/designer pizza style). The beer selection was great as well - and the design of the restaurant was awesome. So all in all, I would definitely come here again and it was an even more amazing experience because i got to do it with all of my wonderful cousins.
(4)Ashley D.
I love this style of pizza - and Pitch serves some delicious topping options. We got one with prosciutto and arugula - absolutely great. Located in Dundee, which is one of my favorite areas of Omaha, this place has a very unique atmosphere. It feels like a wine bar and they have a nice lighting/look going on. The only thing I don't care for is the seating. If they're busy (which they usually are at peak times), you end up sitting at these long family style tables - and you're very close to people you're not with. I'm more of a booth person, so I can converse with my party and not feel obligated to talk to the people next to me because our knees keep touching. I'll definitely go back because I desperately want to try their mushroom pizza - but at a time that's not busy.
(4)K F.
If you are in the Dundee area this is a nice place to eat; not a destination location though. Good service at the bar, tasty meatballs and comfortable decor. Casual and well done.
(3)Tom S.
Had heard a lot about Pitch but hadn't tried it. Pizza was good. The add ons like the sausage, onions and especially the mushrooms were great. It did come out a little soggy, probably too many toppings for the thicker crust. If you're looking for a more upscale pizza place this is it. Side note they have their own wine label. I think it's called Pitch Black.. Nice red blend..
(4)Matthew B.
Pizza is good, atmosphere is nice, communal sitting--a bit weird, IMHO. Delicious meatball appetizer, though, and the wait staff is good so I'd give this one a recommendation. Just maybe go on a less-crowded day so you don't have to share your table with a bunch of strangers.
(3)Brandon M.
I was out and about the other day when my stomach started talking to me...well, yelling at me is more like it. It was simply screaming, "FEED ME"! So being the creature of habit I am, I decided to find and try Pitch, a local pizza joint. The day before I was having a conversation with a hairstylist (cutter?) and she expressed that Pitch had the BEST pizza she had ever eaten. Well, as my friends and family know, I LOVE pizza. So of course I had to try it out for myself and see what the fuss was about. As I walked into Pitch, my first thought was that it's a cool looking place. The design and decor was pretty trendy and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the waitress didn't take too long to get my drink. That alone is a big plus for me. However, one thing I was not impressed with was the "communal dining style". I know the focus should be the food but honestly it was hard to concentrate on the food when I have to hear so much of my neighbors conversation. This is not a place I would go to if I was on a date or wanted any kind of privacy. As I was looking over the menu, I couldn't help but notice that there was not a huge selection. You know the old saying..."Jack of all trades, master of none". So I just figured that they were simply attempting to be the "master" at their specialty. There were some interesting combinations on the pizza menu and some of them sounded really tasty. After scanning the menu for a few minutes I had it narrowed down between the Two Peps and the Mia (remember, creature of habit?). After asking my waitress what she suggested, I went with the Mia. I figured that even though I was very hungry, the small pizza should be big enough for me to get full. Boy, that was a mistake. Granted, I can put away some pizza so perhaps I am not the best judge of what "normal size" is. But, this particular pizza seemed rather small and the amount of toppings was pretty minimal. Nine dollars really is too much for this particular pizza...just saying. As for the taste, the crust was good. It was thin and crispy on the outside with a nice chewiness to it when you took a bite. The sauce/cheese/toppings had decent flavor for what I could taste. However, my taste buds weren't singing when I was done...they were on the verge of falling asleep. Considering that this place came so highly recommended, I was pretty disappointed with the overall product. I feel that I could go to Pizza Hut or Papa John's and get a pizza that is just as good (if not better) and pay the same price but be able to feed a few people and we all get full. I think for now, I will stick with places that are a little closer to home and that have a better price/amount of product ratio.
(2)Erica J.
I went here on a whim with a couple of friends and found a cozy spot with great food. The decor is warm and inviting, and pretty dang European (which I can't help but love). Our service was ideal - there when you need them, concise and to the point, and out of sight when you don't. If you're looking for something different, try the Marsala pizza, with figs, pears, goat cheese, and topped with arugula.... super tasty. The salad we ordered was very good as well.
(5)Pell D.
I was excited to experience some good pizza in Omaha, and I love to go to Dundee. We had a the meatballs as a starter, a Margherita pizza, a side of broccoli rabe, a New Castle Brown Ale, and my wife had glass of red wine. Overall, a nice experience. I enjoyed the crispness of the crust, but I wish it were more firm in the middle. The sides are excellent, and the salads we saw looked excellent as well. We will be going back!
(4)Angela M.
The first fantastic thing about Pitch is that they accept reservations, and you can make them online. I love midtown Omaha, so the Dundee location is perfect. It's open, but cozy, and the décor is eye-catching. When it's busy, it can get noisy, but that just seems to add to the ambiance. I've been to Pitch a few times, and I always have great service. The servers are happy to make food and wine recommendations. Try the roasted brussel sprouts for an appetizer...they're wonderful! Every pizza I've had was awesome. The worst criticism I have is that sometimes the crust can be a little soft when it first comes out. I prefer a very crispy crust. I will definitely go back to Pitch again and again.
(4)B W.
The food is good, not great. Not a big fan of the communal tables, I prefer a bit more separation between myself and the complete strangers to either side. Can get rather loud when the place fills up. Great happy hour deals.
(4)Melissa W.
I really love coal fired pizza so I was really excited when Pitch opened. All in all the pizza was ok and in general, Pitch is just ok... I wish the kinds offer where a little more creative and I wish the sauce was tastier and the crust was chewier. The decor was really modern but warm feeling which is nice... All in all, if you want great coal fired pizza, I hate to say it but try Dante's out West, it's much more flavorful and gives a modern twist to pizza.
(3)Rosalina R.
The hostess that looks liek the mom off There's Something about Mary is a beyotch. She tried her damnedest to get people to not want to eat here. The moment we walked in she acted as if she wasn't interested in seating ANYONE, she was full of snide comments and a bitchy tone in her voice. I tried my damdedest to kill her with kindness, good thign I wasn;t that hungry- but alas she won and we took our names off the list an hour and 45 minutes after we arrived. The male host was great- she needs lessons not only in hosting but on how not to tan yourself to an unrecognizable shade of orange, how not to make your head look like a porcupine with frosted tips, and someone please give her some make up lessons, a member of our party couldnt have put it better- "I was afraid everytime she spoke she was going to fart on my face" Moral of the story is no matter how hip, new or good the food is, get a hostess that won't scare the customers away!
(2)Anna O.
I love this place but it is very expensive. And usually always packed with people. But still definitely worth going to. The pizza is very good and the staff are usually great.
(3)Caleb M.
The hambugers and fries were amazing. Great service and food came out fast. Can't wait to go back and try their pasta and pizza.
(5)Kelly G.
My favorite pizza in Omaha. I usually go for traditional combinations, but the Thai Pie and Marsala have changed my pizza religion. I can't branch out from the Arugula salad. It's that delicious. Great atmosphere, great service.
(5)B B.
I joined yelp just to biatch about Pitch. My family has been there twice for lunch. The first time we arrived just after the doors opened and my 4 year old daughter got to hear the manager yelling profanities at the help. That was really sweet!! I was excited to eat some crispy thin crust pizza, which is my favorite, but we received soggy, greasy pizza that took almost an hour to get. I was really hoping for a better experience on our second visit, but alas. We ordered 3 small pizzas and the truffle fries. After waiting about 30 minutes, the waitress informed us that the cook forgot to turn on the fryer, so the fries would be late. Then she brought out 2 pizzas and left. I had to ask where my pizza was and she came back and told us the cook burned it and had to make another. When I finally received my pizza it wasn't even cooked in the center and then we finally received our truffle fries. They were the best part of the meal. I'm giving it two stars just because I love the Dundee location and like the atmosphere. Too bad they can't make a good pizza.
(2)David M.
I can't say I'm a fan. It's pretty hard to screw up pizza this badly, but they manage to do so. The staff was nice, but couldn't make up for the food.
(1)Christopher R.
I HATE PITCH PIZZA! They make the most awesome pizza and it makes me rethink all of what i thought pizza was supposed to be about.. I hate that! So yeah, the host ignored us and I had to interrupt the bartender to ask if we should seat ourselves but this is our second visit and the food has been OUTSTANDING both occasions.Server Drew tonight was not super attentive but when we mentioned it was our 7th wedding anniversary, he delivered us a complimentary chocolate lava cake which was very thoughtful. We ate the Mia Pizza - delish with house made fennel sausage and got the irresistible hand made taggliatelli with bolonegse sauce. The pizza was a little soggy and would have liked a few more minutes in their coal fired oven but so yummy that we ate 1/2 of it before the pasta arrived! If you can overlook some college aged entitled wait staff and just focus on the food, I think you will be pleased.

Original review with photos can be found here: omahapizzareview.com/201… Pitch Coal-Fired Pizzeria is located on Underwood Avenue in the heart of Dundee in Omaha, Nebraska. Started in 2009 by restaurant entrepreneur Willy Theisen, Pitch has quickly become a favorite for many in the Omaha area. Pitch offers many unique menu items such as Calabrese meatballs (a must have starter), fresh green salads, coal-fired burgers and their delishious coal-fired pizzas. This past Sunday, we took a break from the College World Series and made the drive down to beautiful Dundee for dinner. After snagging a parking spot right on Underwood Ave. in front of the restaurant, we entered and were quickly shown to our table. It was early for dinner, but Pitch was already hopping with activity. The restaurant features a full bar, some community seating as well as plenty of seating for couples and larger groups. On weekends you can plan on waiting for quite a while at this popular Dundee eatery. Tonight we decided on a roasted beets salad, the Mia pizza and the special pizza of the night: roasted chicken with house-made pesto. The salad was a delightful combination of fresh greens, red beets, and pieces of roasted butternut squash. It was topped with a red wine vinaigrette (the perfect amount- some restaurants get heavy handed with the dressing) and a few chunks of goat cheese. Speaking of goat cheese, if you love goat cheese (as The Pizza Wife does) then get this salad. It comes with a large triangle of phyllo dough stuffed- and I mean STUFFED- with creamy, tart cheese. The Wife was in heaven. The Mia pizza, which is described on the menu as Willy's favorite, features San Marzano tomato sauce, big chunks of fennel sausage, large slices of pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. All of this is piled on top of their crispy yet chewy and lightly charred thin crust. I found the tomato sauce to be nicely seasoned, sweet and plentiful - which was nice. All too often it seems the sauce is somewhat of an afterthought and used very sparingly. The pizza here had what I would consider to be just the perfect amount. The sausage and the pepperoni were phenomenal. The large chunks of sausage were quite tasty and had the perfect amount of kick for my tastes. It was leaps and bounds above some other places that use prepackaged and precooked sausage pellets. Their sausage is freshly made and full of flavor! The hub cap sized slices of pepperoni where equally tasty and spicy. There were not one, but two layers of cheese on this pie and that's always a winner in my book. One layer below the toppings as well as some nicely melted chunks of fresh mozzarella on top. The special pizza of the night was roasted chicken with house-made pesto, caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and a balsamic reduction. It was certainly one of the better looking pizzas we've ever seen (the table next to ours even added it to their dinner order once they spied it). Unfortunately, we were disappointed in a couple of areas. We felt the pesto was a bit bland and would have benefited from just a smidgen more garlic. Also, the onions weren't our definition of caramelized. They looked like they may have been sauteed before being added, but they didn't have the sweet, caramelly taste of the caramelized onions we've had in the past. On a high note: The Pizza Wife really dug the roasted tomatoes and thought they made the pie. They added a delicious note that complimented the rest of the toppings. Overall we really enjoyed our visit to Pitch Pizzeria and we certainly recommend a visit to our readers. It seems that Willy has yet another winner on his hands with Pitch, and as a recent article in Omaha Magazine states, he has plans to bring the Pitch brand to more cities soon. This wasn't our first night at Pitch and it certainly won't be our last. We've enjoyed everything we've ever ordered here and tonight was no exception. Just be aware that when the place is busy, it can be more 'bar-like' and noisy, which could certainly turn people off if they are expecting a nice quiet meal. The good: tasty and unique pizzas, full bar with great selection of wine The bad: a little bit pricey, noisy room Oven: coal fired brick ovens Crust: thin, crispy yet chewy, nicely charred crust Sauce: nicely seasoned, perfect amount Cheese: above and below the toppings How would you rate Pitch Pizzeria?

One of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. The meatballs are my favorite. The red sauce is the best I've ever had!

Our 6th or 8th visit to Pitch was yesterday and was delightful--again. We decided this is our favorite pizza in Omaha, but not because of the pizza alone. The atmosphere is friendly, they do a great job with appetizers and sides...and the beet salad is reason enough to keep coming back. Shrooms, Marsala, Margherita and Mia are always great, as they were yesterday. We miss NY but get a real sense of a local place with devoted regulars in an identifiable neighborhood. Not unique back home but to us only Pitch in Dundee comes close.

I have nothing negative to say about Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria but my experience didn't leave me wanting more. The truffle fries are a MUST TRY! The pizza was very good but I've had better at Valentinos.

Coal fired pizza for my first night in Omaha? I'm down. My sis knows I'm a foodie and so is she so I knew this place would be good. We headed over to this restaurant around 7pm to meet up with a couple of other friends. The restaurant is really nice. Dimly lit with nice large tables. We were lucky to snag a nice round table to fit all of us. (there were 6 of us including my niece) And the bathrooms are really clean, very modern and cool. The menu is large and they have other items besides pizza too, like pastas, soups, and salads. We tried the mixed greens salad which was really yummy actually. The dressing was wonderful. As well as the tomato bisque soup. The soup was flavorful and creamy. Went well with the salad. the pizzas: The first order was the Shrooms pizza. This pie had a generous offering of mushrooms, comes with truffle cheese, oven dried tomatoes and thyme cream. All of these wonderful flavors makes this pizza a sure winner and my sister's favorite pie!! That truffle cheese really gives it that star quality flavor, balanced with the shrooms, cheese, and tomatoes and you got a 5 star pizza right there! The second pie was the complex pepperoni. This one was more for my niece than us, but it was good. I liked their take on the 'ol time classic pepperoni pizza. Our waitress was really great as well. She frequented our table with waters and made sure we were happy with our dishes. I'd love to come here during happy hour for their great deals on drinks AND pizza! I'm glad there's a pizza place I can be satisfied with until I go home to more V-lounge pizza =o)

Pitch is as close to perfect as you can get in a restaurant in my book. Been here a few times and every time is great. The best truffle fries in the world and the Brussel sprouts are so great with the prosciutto and parm. I usually get the Thai pizza with shrimp and chicken, but this time I opted for the meatball pizza because who doesn't like meatballs? It was just as good as the Thai. My wife made her own pizza with fresh mozzarella, basil, whole garlic cloves and Roma tomatoes. They do have kids options as well and well worth the price. Both my kids got spaghetti and meatballs and could barely eat half because it was so big. The beer list is great as well. My wife got the tank 7 smokehouse ale and I had a coke. I wish they had fountain pop here because they change you for each can you drink and I drink a lot during a meal but whatever. It's just one of the quirks that restaurants sometimes have. A place where the food and service speak for themselves and a place that isn't trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to pizza. It's just good and that is why we as humans go out to eat. Good food, good service, awesome atmosphere = value. Keep it up pitch. I am a huge fan and will continue to come by as often as I can.
(5)John W.
Nice space, friendly people and very good pizza. Looking forward to going again. Glad we tried the truffle fries as a starter. So good.
(4)Chessie M.
Very cheerful and welcoming host on a recent night made us feel good about our decision to stop in....he found us a spot even without a reservation! A boisterous and happy atmosphere. Professional bartenders and great servers!

Things I like: -Writing reviews for pretty much every place I've been. -Pizza. -Naughty adult fun-times. Things I don't like: -Writing reviews for places when I can't really decide what to give them (or come up with a clever theme for a review). -Spiced Rum. -Jeremy Renner and all of his movies. I guess I should be pretty favorable towards Pitch. I'm a huge pizza fan, and their version was pretty tasty, though unremarkable. Not as big as I would have hoped for the price, but not exactly highway robbery either. We didn't have any appetizers, so I'm not really qualified to speak on them. The bartender was pretty good, but (like the pizza) unremarkable at the same time. He knew what the astonishingly good Estrella Damm Inedit was (and how to serve it), although he didn't know who helped make it: a little man by the name of Ferran Adria. The restaurant was stunningly loud, but very well decorated and the noise seemed to fit, unpleasant as it may have been. I like the long, high top, bar-like tables that run the length of the middle of the room, and there are a lot of seats at the bar for no bigger than the place is. I guess I really want to knock Pitch down to three stars, but I really can't find enough reasons to do so. I liked the food, I loved the beer, and I was digging the design of the dining room. Perhaps another pizza-night is in order. You know, just to make up my mind.
(4)Matt M.
I still stick with my 5 star review - even if based just on the meatballs/spaghetti & meatballs. Best in town - period.
(5)Drew D.
I have enjoyed everything I've ever eaten at Pitch. The food is very good, if a little over priced. The atmosphere is great, and the service is always friendly. Particularly on weekends, plan on waiting for a table. The Shroom pizza is brilliant, and do not miss the brussels sprouts (even if you've never liked brussels sprouts before). Vegetarian friendly.
(4)Heather M.
I am upgrading my review of Pitch to 4 stars. I went there again about 2 months ago. I had a much better hostess/seating experience and the food is consistently good. The shrooms pizza and truffle fries were great. Service was fast. The only complaint I have is the atmosphere of the restaurant. It feels really cramped. We were seated at a two person high top, I'm not complaining about that because I am glad we got seated alone instead of at a communal table (I find that extraordinarily awkward and uncomfortable, I'd rather take my food to go). I will only eat here when I can get here early, like 4:30 or 5:00pm.
(4)Billy T.
Excellent food and atmosphere! We had the truffle fries and Brussels sprouts for starters and the Mia (Willy's favorite) pizza. All of it was delicious! I would definitely recommend Pitch! Great for date night!
(5)Daryn P.
If you like pizza, Brussels sprouts, and sitting next to strangers; you might do a reasonable number of cartwheels and then poop yourself over Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria. The Brussels sprouts are served gloriously in a little white bowl, dotted with luscious bits of Pancetta and dusted with Parmesan cheese. I wish the bowl was quite a bit bigger, so I could dip my face in it. Sometimes, my mom makes me Brussels sprouts when I visit her on Sundays to discuss String Theory and watch Jersey Shore. And, while her's are certainly tasty, they simply don't compare to those at Pitch. My mom would need to have superpowers or Pitch's recipe guide to make Brussels sprouts that good! The pizza is almost to-die-for. It reminds me of Show-Biz Pizza, at it's pinnacle. I don't want to die. Especially not for a slice of pizza. But, for Pitch's Mushroom Pizza, I'd be okay with going into anaphylactic shock or battling a severe case of the runs. I don't much care for the possibility that I might be sat at a communal table, next to strangers. People generally disgust me, and I'd rather eat my meal without having to listen intently to conversations about the weather or new cell phone apps or teenage pregnancy. My favorite server is Ashley. She is blonde, of medium-height, and has an intoxicating sense of humor. I hope she works there for at least the average amount of time that people work at restaurants. I would definitely recommend Pitch to my friends, so I can sit by them, instead of strangers. I would recommend Pitch to strangers as well. But, i would tell them to go on a different night than me.
(5)Chris S.
The good: the food, the drinks, the service, all excellent. Pitch is definitely a great place to go for a gourmet pizza and a beer, with an upscale atmosphere that would be great for a nice, but casual date night or a small business dinner. I've had several of their pizzas and the comte mac and cheese and never been disappointed. The bad: I'm not a fan of their large group policies. They were up front about them, so I'm not angry or anything, but I think one time was enough. We went with a group of around 20 and had a great time and got great service, but they required a $15/head deposit to hold the reservation. The deposit was refundable if we spent at least $15/person at dinner, which is easily done once you factor in appetizers and drinks, but it's still a policy I'm just not a fan of. In addition, they wouldn't split our check. I know a lot of restaurants have this policy, and I hate it at every single one that does. If we had come in as 5 tables of 4 instead of 1 table of 20, they'd have run 20 credit cards without batting an eye, but because we all sat together I had to run my card for the full amount and then spend my morning chasing folks down who hadn't brought cash with them to dinner. All in all Pitch is great, but the large group policies keep me from giving them 5 stars. I'll definitely go back by myself or with a smaller group, but I doubt I'll ever take a large group in again. One other note: If you've got AT&T Wireless your phone will not work inside Pitch. At all. Even if it says you have bars. It just won't work. Verizon and Sprint seem to be fine, so it's not Pitch's fault, but just something to keep in mind if you're an AT&T customer and you're expecting an important call during dinner.

The food here is delicious! My favorite pizza is probably the marsala with goat cheese, fig sauce, arugula...yum. Burgers here are fantastic too, some of the best I've ever had especially with that coal fire finished taste. Actually, I would say this might be my favorite burger in Omaha. I read somewhere that they combine ground sirloin with ground beef so that might explain the deliciousness. The only reason 4 stars is this place can be a bit pricey and like many reviewers, I don't care for the communal style seating and "pitch" lighting. Just my personal opinion though. I probably would go here more often if they opened a location out West since we live in Elkhorn, but Dante's is a pretty comparable restaurant when I'm craving good pizza.
(4)Travis L.
I read in the magazine in the restaurant that the owner plans to make this a franchise. If I encountered a chain of Pitch's, I'd be a pretty happy camper. Service was decent. It was disappointing that the majority of beers were bottles (Stella was the only beer on tap). While I flip-flop on whether tap or bottle is better (both do have their pros and cons), I like to be able to choose. That said, their selection of bottled beers was pretty great. One last thing: The crust was good, but for coal fired pizza, it was a little too thick and chewy. My father-in-law describes a certain chain of Italian restaurants as "Reliable mediocrity", in that you know what you'll be getting. You won't be wowed, but you also won't be disgusted. Maybe this will change in time, but that's how I feel about Pitch right now.
(3)Julia S.
First time was great! Pizza variety and selection was good. Good drink specials. Was a little small but felt cozy. Not ideal for kids.
(5)Jessie W.
I've been to Pitch handful or more times as it's conveniently located in my neighborhood. Overall Pitch is OK, but I never leave there feeling like I can't wait to go back. They have a cool pizza/wine deal on Monday/Tuesday evenings, which is nice for a date night or catching up with a friend. My favorite pizza is the Bianco Verde. It's topped with prosciutto, caramelized onions, arugula, fresh mozzarella. Super tasty. My last experience was a few weeks ago and left me more than unsatisfied. I went with a group of 15 or so friends for a going away dinner. The service was overall friendly and attentive. I've always wanted to order the Comte mac & cheese, so this time I went for it...bad idea. It was awful. I don't know if it was the oil, the cheese, the sweetness, or what - but unforunately I only had about 2 bites. The waitress asked me if I liked it and I told her not really and her respone was "well does anyone else want to eat it?" Luckily my friend and I split a Wedge salad at the beginning of our meal (which is very good!) but I still left there feeling hungry. Not to mention my tab was $40, which included a glass of wine, the Wedge salad, comte mac & cheese, and 20% gratuity due to having a large party.
(3)John H.
This is the last truly offensive meal I've had in Omaha. The quality, which at one time was pretty reliable, has utterly imploded. It's gut busting without any flavor. It's like they bought a flavor sucker after Willy sold it so that everything could taste like Elmer's glue. They're busy, I suppose, but what a shame.
(1)Jenny B.
I like this place a lot--but I wouldn't advise you to come if you're very hungry. Although owned by Willy Theisen of Godfather's fame, you're not going to get a deep-dish butterbomb of a pizza here. The pizza is thin crust and wood fired, made with fresh ingredients and has been delicious each of the multiple times I've eaten here. We have tried the Mia and Two Peps, the latter is my fave. You can get a pretty good bottle of wine here for under $20; my husband and I split a bottle of pinot noir...can't for the life of me remember the name, but it was good! I agree that community seating could be a little awkward, but any time we've been here we have had a private table. We also had a cool waiter that told us about the history of the building...would definitely recommend this place!
(4)Eric L.
This is our favorite pizza place in omaha. The food, atmosphere, and service are consistent top notch, and I've seen the owner in there on a number of occasions (always on the weekend). Knowing that he used to own the godfathers franchise, im guessing he's not working because he needs the money. I figure he's probably there because he enjoys it, which is nice to see. Highly recommended.
(5)Patrick G.
This place has gotten a bit too big for its britches. The pizza is good, but the service sucks. If I had written this review before the last few visits, it would get a 4/5. However, the service has absolutely sucked the last couple times we went. My wife has a dairy allergy, which is pretty common and shouldn't be a problem for a restaurant of this caliber, but they always manage to go out of their way to screw us over. A few months ago, we tried to order one of their pizzas with half no cheese, and their response was, "We can't guarantee that we can do this. The cheese just goes everywhere when we cook the pizza." I said, "OK, do your best." When it comes out, it's about 75% cheese and my wife could only eat 2 of the slices. Give me a break! Why is it that every other pizza place in the world can accommodate this request (even Pizza Hutt), and hoity-toity Pitch can't deal with it? We make pizza at home and it's not that hard to separate the cheese if you take a few seconds to be careful. Spend a few extra minutes to make it right and treat your customers with respect. Don't insult my intelligence with excuses because your kitchen staff is lazy. Tonight was even worse. We told our waiter about my wife's allergy and the salad still comes out with cheese on it. We have to send it back, and we don't get the salad until after the pizza comes out. We have some yuppie helper bring the pizzas out, and I tell him to just cancel the salad order. He rolls his eyes and just walks away, not giving a crap. That pretty much sums up Pitch these days. This place doesn't give a crap about customer service any more. They get enough business that they don't care about alienating their loyal customers who have been eating there from the beginning. I don't care about them either...I'm not going back. PS - They have a $3 "fee" if you want to split a plate. Any place that does that is just obnoxious.
(2)Sharon J.
Ate there last night for the first time. I liked the place and atmosphere, very nice. I would give this 5 stars. We ordered the Fried Calamari, Brussel Sprouts, Macaroni & Cheese, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Mia Pizza, and the Shrooms Pizza. Everything was really good, except I didn't care for the spaghetti sauce. (I make my own homemade sauce, 130 yr old recipe from Sicily) so I am very pickey about sauce. The sprouts were very good, but a little on the salty side, but I would try them again. The Macaroni & Cheese was very good and rich. The best was the pizzas, I loved the Shrooms Pizza, it was wonderful, if you like mushrooms you will like this alot. I also had the Sangria that they make themselves, it was very good. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of the spaghetti sauce & it is a little on the pricey side for small thin pizzas. If you are looking for traditional pizza this is NOT the place, there is no hamburger here.
(4)Mary M.
Definitely one of my favorite places for pizza in town. This crust is a great Neapolitan style - thin yet chewy with a crispy edge...mmm mmm gotta love it. I have tried every pizza they make and while I have my favorites, I have not been disappointed with any. If you want more than pizza, try adding an appetizer. The Artichokes are scrumptious, the Calabrese Meatballs are tender, moist and delicious, and if you like beans, absolutely go for the Tuscan White Beans-they are a bowl of yummy earthy creaminess. Oh and we can't leave out the salads. If I had to suggest one, I would say go for the Arugula Salad. It is cleverly presented with the prosciutto wrapped around all the other salad ingredients. The Roasted Beet and Chicken Chop Salad are also very good. It has a nice Dundee atmosphere about it...comfortable, laid back. Choose a wine from their 90+ list, order a pizza, relax and enjoy.
(4)Ben K.
Pros: Cool looking place Cons: The pizza tasted too much like charcoal, no take out option Popular Omaha restaurant entrepreneur Willy Theisen makes his long awaited return to the food that made him a millionaire back about 30 years ago. Though Pitch Pizza is quite a bit different from Godfather's, it has potential to be a popular spot in Omaha. It needs to work out a few things, though. The place is located in a great spot in Dundee. The look of the restaurant is very neat and comfortable. By looks and feel alone, the restaurant is definitely nice. However, with this being a wood-fire pizzeria, the pizza is going to have a different type of taste to it. This pizza unfortunately had a bit of a charcoal bite to it, too much of one in fact. Wood-fire pizza needs to have a balance of charcoal flavor, but if there is too much of one, it takes away from the taste of the pizza. The other problem is the fact that there's no take out option. I think a pizza place needs a take out option to succeed. That's what makes La Casa's, Mama's and other local places great. I hope they can get these two things corrected because what they have so far looks promising. Willy launched Godfather's as a national chain successfully and brought Fuddruckers and Famous Dave's to the Omaha area successfully. We'll see if he can strike gold twice with pizza once again.
(3)Sean M.
Pizza is great, hard to get seating after 7PM any night. Also, AT&T has zero service and after several years, Pitch still has not offered a WiFi solution that works. So if you have to be available to be contacted or need data, skip this place.
(4)Katie F.
Pitch and pizza deal is an excellent date option. A pizza and a bottle of Pitch wine for $20. Pizza is hand-fired and delicious. Definitely try the steak and goat cheese.
(3)Julie G.
When Pitch opened I was excited as the wood fired pizza place I use to go in NW Omaha closed. Pitch has been open a long time and I finally made it there with a friend before going to the Playhouse. I regret that it took me this long. I was in 7th heaven after my first bite. We started with the Bruschetta that has a Roasted Eggplant Relish and also had the Calabrese Meatballs. They both were filled with a ton of flavor. The meatball took me totally by surprise as you usually don't find one that wows you on the first bite and this one did that. We made the right decision that night choosing Pitch over all the other great eateries in Dundee and we hadn't even gotten our pizza yet. We ordered the Mia, which has San Marzano tomato sauce, the house made fennel sausage, pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. We only ate half as we were full from our appetizers, but it was delicious. My boyfriend ate the leftovers the next day and even reheated he said it was good. I can't wait to go back to try other menu items as I'm guessing there is not a bad item on the menu.
(5)Audrey C.
Finally tried an appetizer on my most recent visit, the calamari was flavored well, but a little chewy, doubtful I'll order an app again when clearly the pizza is the star of the place. We did sit at the community tables which I still feel weird sitting across from strangers while they eat, my girlfriend and I probably came across as obnoxious to the mother and her college age son! Oh Well! Pizza was delish...I had talked it up for months to my friend, and she agreed the crust is where it's at!! Still love you, Pitch.
(4)Gabby A.
I ate at pitch with a friend of mine this past weekend, and I think it has some pretty solid pizza. We showed up at about 8:15 and the place was packed. We put our names in for a table and were told our wait would be at least 20 minutes. We headed straight for the bar and ordered a couple of glasses of wine. The atmosphere in here was alright. It was simple and modern, but something about it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I can't put my finger on it...maybe pretentious or snooty? After a few minutes, the hostess came and asked if we'd like to be seated at the community table. We were starving, so we decided that would be just fine. We ordered calamari for an appetizer and and the Bianco Verde pizza to share. The calamari was good but not great. The breading was a bit bland but the sauce that came with it was very tasty. The pizza was damn good. It was topped with ricotta cheese, prosciutto, caramelized onions, arugula, and fresh mozzarella. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. All of the ingredients worked beautifully together. The crust on the pizza was my favorite part of all, though. It was so good. It must be the high heat of the coal oven that gives it that special chewy but crispy at the same time consistency. It also had a wonderful smoky flavor. Mmmmm. Well done, Pitch. That is how you do crust. The service was good. She was friendly and efficient, and I felt like our food and drinks took a very reasonable amount of time to arrive considering how crazy busy they were. I would definitely like to come back and try some of their other pizzas. Overall, I loved my first taste of Pitch.
(4)Lindsey F.
Our party of 4 shared brussel sprouts, charcuterie, the mushroom pizza, and the sausage pizza. Plenty of food for all of us. The brussels sprouts with prosciutto were good, but pretty standard. I've had the same dish at many restaurants - these didn't stand out. The house cured meats however, did. Good variety of richly flavored meats, perfect texture. Both pizzas were great - not too cheesy with a tasty crust. The mushroom pie was very rich though - I could only handle one small slice. The house made fennel sausage on the other pie was delicious. Also, the bartender makes a good old fashioned (the menu calls it a manhattan, but it's an old fashioned). The dining room was fairly noisy, but not loud enough to detract from conversation. I ate here over a year ago, and was underwhelmed. This visit was much better!
(4)Brian C.
Happy to see a place that claims to be serious about pizza. Unfortunately, it's nothing special. The crust comes out flat and lifeless, which shouldn't be the case with nice ovens. Even the classics like Pizza Margherita disappoint because of this. All of the appetizers we tried weren't very well balanced either.
(3)Kaai L.
Pitch is one of the best pizza places I've been to! I go at least once a week and LOVE the 'shrooms pizza. The mushrooms taste so awesome! The greens salad is good too, their dressing is really good. Happy hour is the best time to go because you get many different things for five dollars! Cheese and pepperoni 13in pizzas for five dollars! How can you go wrong! I've never tried a coal fired pizza, but it's definitely good! I will go again and again even though it's not too kid friendly and I have a four year old :)
(5)Rick M.
Good food. My first martini was served in a proper glass. Second one served in a water glass .. wtf. Waitress says different bartender different glass. Tacky yes
(4)Christopher M.
Favorite restaurant in Omaha! I consider myself a bit of a pizza connoisseur, and I LOVE the pizza. It is cooked at light speed and tastes delicious!! Love the atmosphere - very upscale and fun!! I would love to open one of these in my hometown!
(5)Liz H.
It's always over crowded and they make you sit at tables with other parties-it can be really awkward. The place itself is cool. The food is all right, I'm vegan, and the veggie pizza wasn't great. At our table, the food came out at really different times, so the people who got theirs first had cold food by the time everyone had food. I don't think that's normal, but still annoying.
(3)Todd S.
Would definitely return. We got there around 4pm on a Saturday and it seemed as though the hostess was going to have a problem seating us (party of 2). So, I suppose that means reservations are recommended. We decided to eat at the bar (we prefer it anyway). I really wish there were more draught options available. They have Stella Artois on tap, otherwise only bottled beer, though a good/tasteful selection. I did recognize one of their wines by the glass, Tormaresca "Neprica" which they offer for $8-$9 (not precisely sure) per glass, but I've purchased this at retail before for around $9.00 per bottle. I would expect to pay a mark-up on libations, but that just feels like gauging (typically I would expect to pay, for one glass, what the establishment pays at cost for the bottle, so what this tells me is that the restaurant pays retail for their wine? That doesn't sound right). Anyway... What I really appreciate, is that the menu is more than just pizza. Not only that, but the other-than-pizza is just as delicious. I would definitely like to return and get to sample more of their menu. We had the Brussels Sprouts, and I could have easily ordered another serving of them, they were DELICIOUS (btw, Brussels Sprouts are good for the prostate*, so guys, do yourself a favor and eat moar Brussels Sprouts!). We invented our own pizza topping. Not something I would necessarily recommend, as the menu selections are more than enticing (I just happen to be married to a picky eater, shhh). The bartender/server (Chris) was a pro, and his professionalism was much appreciated. He was accomodating and charismatic without being pushy or intrusive. Dessert (bread pudding) was phenomenal, from what I got to taste, someone seemed to eat it out from under me. Overall, my compliments to the chef! I would definitely return and if I lived closer I could see frequenting them often. *author should not be held accountable for potentially misrepresenting the nutritional value and glandular benefits of Brussels Sprouts. It's just something they were once told by a med. student.
(4)Jeremy S.
Napoletana pizza done practically to perfection. The shroom pizza was great and will order every time I go. While our waitress was wonderful and had a lot of great suggestions like the meatballs, I must say she wasn't 100% truthful. While the mac and cheese we had was pretty amazing it wasn't better than the place up the block...if you know what I mean.... Okay, I mean Mark's! It's not better than Mark's. There. I said it. Sorry, but she claimed it and I must call her out. Great happy hour menu with super deals. I just wished we lived or worked close enough to take advantage of it. The only time we can is when we ditch work early.
(4)Daniel T.
Great pizza. I'd say the best in Omaha, up there with La Casa and Zio's. The atmosphere is classy and the wait staff is attentive. I go for the "shrooms" pizza which is out of this world. It is a little pricy but I am willing to pay for quality crust and ingredients. It's always busy so plan ahead but that's what you want to see.
(4)Ben P.
When I heard we were going here, I thought we'd at least get a chance to PLAY Pitch. It's been a long time since someone stole my Jack..... Midwestern card games aside, this is a totally decent place. I'm not in love with their "virtually every table is a communal table" policy, and I promise the people who had to share a table with my group of 8 weren't in love with it by the end of the dinner, either. You need to be aware, going in, that this is a more artisanial pizza type kinda place. I.e., one of their specials involves white sauce and pears. And I'm not saying it's not good, but I am saying there are times when that's not the pizza you want. I was also happy to see that Pitch is trying to introduce Omahomies to actual Belgian beer. I liked the wheat-style white I had, and I came to peace with the fact that I had to purchase a 25-oz. bottle (cork and all) to get it.
(4)Joseph G.
I guess this place has pizza. I had the chicken wings, because it just made sense. It took some thought to decide on the correct wine to go with them. I ordered the Herb Coal-fired & Chipotle Honey wings. Probably the fanciest wings I'v had and should have had my monocle with me. Dipping sauce went way beyond a gallon jug of ranch or blue cheese. They even garnished them with cilantro and caramelized onions. Effort! Omaha Wing League approved.
(5)Ellie S.
Loved the roasted artichokes and brussel sprouts.
(4)OldIrvingPoodle H.
Great service, but pizza lacked a lot. I'm from Chicago and won't go back. Great service but not amazing. I could hardly cut the pizza...and they gave me a butter knife. I had my purse on a chair and they asked me to move it cuz that seat was reserved...really!?!
(3)Joel M.
Braised pork pizza topped with fried eggs, LORD FORGIVE ME FOR I HAVE SINNED!!!!!!! The mac and cheese was amazing also. Good job Pitch Keep it up!!!!
(4)Emily B.
It's like: cozy wine bar meets authentic pizza and they have a love-child called Pitch. First we started with the meatballs. They are incredibly moist and flavorful, but I suggest getting them WITH your meal instead of an app, as they are supremely filling. We then split pizza and pasta. We had the "shrooms" pizza as per our server's recommendation, with pepperoni added on top. That was the "good call" of the century in my book. Loved the texture and tastes going on - rich mushroom taste, salty pepperoni, just the right amounts of sauce and cheese on a perfectly-textured crust. For pasta, we had the housemade tagliatte with bolognese and fresh ricotta. There is nothing artificial about this dish. If I had a cute little Italian grandmother, this is what she'd cook for me. We were stuffed after all this, but I wish truly, that I had saved room for dessert. Something tells me their tiramisu or pumpkin cheesecake would have been banging. Just one note of constructive criticism: if one hostess forgot to put our reservation in the system, the other hostess should just work to find/clear a table. We spent 5+ minutes trying to "detect" who took the phone call earlier that day, which brought more attention to the error.

Let me remind you I once waited for 2.5 hours to get into Pizzeria Bianco (what is supposed to be the BEST pizza in the world) before I start this review. This place is right up there! Went to Pitch on a Friday afternoon for some Happy Hour drinks and some food. Our server was amazing that day! She was very friendly and very honest with us about the food. Since we hadn't been in before, we had a number of questions about what she would and would not recommend, what the crowd favorites are, etc. She took alot of time with us and gave us her honest opinions of the various pizzas. We settled on the MIA and the SHROOMS. Both pizzas were excellent. They were great recommendations and we';; definitely go back.

Pitch is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. The atmosphere is very comfortable and full of interesting design elements from the concrete tables and unique art to the backlit wine bottles. The costs are reasonable, but they do feature a specialty drink list with some pricier options (which are delicious). I have tried a number of different pizzas, salads, soups and appetizers. While I have never been let down by anything ordered, I have not been blown away either. I will say that the pizza crust is above average on the delicious scale and I love that the salads contain fresh greens instead of iceberg lettuce. Service is fine - nothing to write home about. My only major complaint is that when the restaurant is full, it can get very loud. I went once with a few friends and we had to shout across our community table (shared by other parties) to have a conversation. I felt like I was losing my voice. On weekend nights (including Thursday) Pitch fills up fast, so get there early or be prepared to wait.

No question the best pizza I have had in Omaha. I tried La Casa last week and was thoroughly disappointed. But this was a home run. We started with a couple beers (pretty good selection of micros, but it is all bottled except Stella), then ordered the beet salad. It comes with beets, butternut squash, baked goat cheese, pistachios, and red wine vinaigrette on a bed of greens. Fantastic. Then we ordered the Marsala Pizza, which is topped with figs, goat cheese, pears, arugula, truffle oil, and mozzarella. This was a delicious pizza. A nice thin crust with great toppings. It ended up being a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it was still well worth it. I will be back very soon.
(5)Natalie J.
Yum yum yum! Okay let me start by saying every time I'm in Omaha my bf takes me to a new pizza place and says the same thing "this is the best pizza in town" so of course when this same statement rang threw my ears my eyes rolled back because frankly the last place was so so. But when I opened my mouth an explosion of yummyness made my tongue dance the jiggity jig! The pizza was a mix veggie we also had Brussel sprouts and they too were fabulous... I can't wait til next month I will be back!

Pitch is perhaps the most underrated restaurant in all of Omaha. They have fantastic atmosphere, delicious and unique food, a great wine & drink list, and even a private parking lot in a neighborhood some avoid due to its parking difficulties. Don't be fooled that it for some baffling reason doesn't get better ratings on sites such as these; people are often simply perturbed by long waits and having their pre-conceived notions of good pizza (rightfully) challenged. People: a restaurant with a wait is a GOOD restaurant. Pitch pizzas are unique and delicious. I've been a dozen times and probably had every pizza on the menu. They're all consistently good. My favorite personally is the Two Peps (pepperoni and pepperoncini for a kick), but the Benny and the Marsala are both excellent as well. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, and I recommend it to absolutely anybody.

I went to Pitch recently with some friends who know the manager. Maybe that made a difference, maybe not... Great salads, great thin crust pizza, don't drink single glasses of wine, though. The vegetable side dishes we had (brussel sprouts, green beans) were superlative. (The manager brought out the green beans as a comp.) Perky wait staff, nice decor and comfortable seating. My friends seemed to think the coal-fired oven was something new and on trend. It's not, but so what. Still good. Great addition to this wonderful little neighborhood. I would definitely go back again.
(4)Patrick W.
Ordered a pizza with pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, and basil. It was just as delicious as it was the first time. To avoid the excessive wait times, call ahead for seating. You'll still have to wait but not nearly as long.
(5)Wade C.
I had high expectations for Pitch, some were met, some were not. The atmosphere is amazing, FIVE stars there, easily. Contemporary, clean, chic. The kitchen area where they cook the pizza in the coal fire is open for guests to watch their food being made. Granite countertops with dim lights and candles. Service, FIVE stars, our server was outstanding, attentive, and friendly. Drinks, FOUR stars, ordered a in-house special drink that was suggested by our waiter; it was made with Starbucks liquor, not my favorite thing. Food, TWO stars. Unfortunately, the Artisan Cheese Selection we had for a starter didn't really do anything for me. I had kept my hopes high for the pizza we ordered, which was the Two Peps - large homemade pepperoni with pepperoncini peppers; It just didn't blow me away. The crust was the best part, nice and thin and flour-y. Everything else about the pizza was just so-so. Not bad, not great - just a pizza. For a restaurant with this level of sophistication, I had expected better. If it were a low-key college hangout of some kind, I'd probably give the experience five stars, but in this case it just didn't deliver.

Hmm. Been here a few times and the food is good - Mia's pizza and the shrooms pizza are my favorites. Solid meatballs, great hamburgers with truffle fries (awesome now that Blanc is closed). Service has been hit or miss (mostly miss). The hostesses probably need to find other jobs or learn to put smiles on their faces - we've noticed the same ones each time and they look bothered to be there (hey, I know you are in high school and would rather be doing other things but, really, a smile won't hurt you). And on previous occasions our wait staff were not much better. Our waitress this particular night was fantastic so perhaps they could take lessons from her ( wish I would have gotten her name but blond shoulder length hair, worked in the back around 7pm). Food is very good and hopefully service will get better :-). P.S. - wouldn't recommend going here on hot days - their AC doesn't seem to work very well.

Parking sucks, but the food is good. Good food and wait staff
(3)Marlene S.
Back in Omaha from Scottsdale for a couple of days and had to go to Pitch. Once again it was terrific. This time I shared a meatball pizza which was outstanding. The crust is perfection. Fun, energetic atmosphere. Service was wonderful. One of my favorite Omaha places to visit for great food.
(5)Amy M.
I've been to Pitch a few times, always ordering pizza, since it's in the name, and never left feeling I had eaten anything that might make me have a mad craving to go back. Except the truffles fries; but fried potatoes drizzled with truffle oil are pretty hard to mess up. So, this place hasn't been on my list of regular joints. And then a friend invited me to dinner and to see A Christmas Carol a couple weeks back and chose Pitch because a) it was convenient and b) she LOVES the place but she's vegan and gets excited over any restaurant with vegan options (sorry, but true). This time I decided to go in a direction decidedly away from the pizza and chose the rigatoni bolognese instead and boy was I happy I did! This was some of the best pasta I've had in Omaha (but I'm not a big fan of any Omaha Italian food, so take that as you will) - for me it's definitely a craveable dish. I'll definitely be back the next time I want some yummy, meaty pasta, big enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day.
(4)Chris E.
Best pizza in Omaha. All the pies are made with quality ingredients. I like to split a pizza and salad with a friend; it is the perfect portion for two. I hit this place up about once a month and never have been disappointed with the food or service. On my last visit I had pasta...they make the noodles on site. Simply the best pasta I have ever had, give it a try!
(5)Dan K.
Being from NY, the first thing we did was try to find some thin crust style pizza. We tried Dante Pizza and Pitch. Dante was good, but I have to say Pitch is better. The dough had more flavor, having a hint of sourdough. The cheese is higher quality. Service was great and we loved the decor. Pitch is going to be our goto for pizza in the future.
(5)Annie G.
This review is based on one recent visit here; I hope I can get back again next Omaha trip to see if they've been able to finesse -- if so, this place can't lose. Pros: pizza was wonderful. For the drips who think this pizza tastes too much like charcoal: umm, it's coal-fire pizza. it's supposed to. Your lackluster palette might be better suited at pizza hut. I was with a large group and we tried 4 pizzas. My faves: the margarita and the fig one. Yes, that was great. The wine is super affordable, and the salad appies were perfect. The nice hostess quoted us an hour wait and it was exactly that. Lovely. Cons: Our waiter was a jerkstore. Not sure if he had had a bad day or was annoyed at our large table of slightly-drunk folks. Either way, he was a jerk and I wished we could have traded him. Second con would be in regards to the tables. While the ambience of this place is cozy and wonderful, the large table top we were at was too wide -- we couldn't keep a convsersation with those seated across from us. So, that's all I have for now. I have a good feeling about this place.
(4)Charles C.
Just keeps getting better! Fun vibe, good bar, staff, creative menu, pleasant wines, (try the Pitch Black) ...all make for happy patrons & a number of regulars! A major benefit to the neighborhood. Good idea to make reservations!
(4)K G.
Pitch is weird. The pizza is right up my alley. We are purists, so we always do the margherita. Love the real mozzarella. The coal firing is perfecto and I adore the basil. I do not like the atmosphere, the everchanging menu and the wacky way they have handled take out when we get it. I think it's some of the best pizza in Omaha, hands down. But the weirdness that seems to continually accompany our take out orders and visits to eat in is getting to be too much. And I am not a fan of the communal dining. It encourages eavesdropping and makes me feel manic.
(3)Deborah G.
I liked the atmosphere of the place. We got there in time for happy hour. They had some great specials. We ordered the meatballs which I am not a fan of. The texture and taste was strange. Our Australian wine was a hit. The mushroom pizza was very very delicious. Our service was excellent and the management was very friendly. I am from out of town, but when I return to Omaha I would definitely like to try some more dishes here.
(4)Robert B.
Not the best, but not the worst, either. Pitch looks great. The interior design is very contemporary and quite appealing to my sophisticated tastes. The drinks are prepared well and their presentation is flawless. The bartender on staff is the same one we've seen at Pitch on multiple visits. Five stars for the bar! Now let's get on to the problems with Pitch... We ate on a Thursday so the problems we experienced were not due to an overcrowding situation. The traffic was reasonable. A couple of open tables at all times. The server threw us the first curve ball of the evening with her cloying snark. I ordered a drink which contained, as its base, a hearty helping of gin. She looked at me, paused, and as she nodded and gingerly placed her hand on my shoulder reassuringly, said "You like gin, riiiggghhht?" My first reaction was to snap back: "Do I look like the one of the Thursday night rubes who bumbles his way through a high-end cocktail in order to impress the cougars-in-training?" Perhaps I wasn't in the mood that night, but something about her tone set me off. But I didn't snap. Instead, I confidently repeated my order, politely, and thanked her. The big draw for Pitch is the pizza. So that's what we ordered. Our group ordered approximately three pizzas of different varieties. Each one of them exhibited the same issue: a simple lack of preparation. The flavors that were present were conflicting, none of which were complimentary. The differences were stark and brutal. Spinach tasted like spinach. The cheese tasted like cheese. Yet there was no melding of flavor. It was as if someone handed me raw ingredients to gnaw on with a slide of toast and a dollop of tomato paste. At some point, we will return to Pitch for a drink and perhaps even another go at their pie. Until that time, Pitch needs to work on staff courtesy and culinary execution (with the exception being the outstanding bartender).
(2)Sondra Z.
Tried this place after seeing the Yelp reviews and it paid off! The mushroom pizza is amazing! Definitely an artisan pizza kind of place, we had 4 of their small specialty pizzas for our group of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids) and two desserts.
(4)molly a.
Pitch has great food and a trendy enviorment, but the prices are way too high. parking sucks too. Its all worth it for a once in a while treat :)
(3)Dennis K.
The shroom pizza is so good.I love pitch.Really good cocktails too.Cucumber sparkler is refreshing as it gets.
(4)S A.
Simply put, I'm a fan. The pizza is tasty, the service is great, and the ambiance is about as good as it gets in Omaha. This isn't where I'd order my takeout but it's a great place to go out for the evening. Beware: the pizzas are THIN, which means you may need to order more than you think. UPDATE: I went for lunch today. They had a $7.95 special for a Margherita pizza and salad. Salad - 1 star, Pizza - 5 stars, Price for the combo - 4 stars. So, I'll leave the rating at four stars, but that salad just didn't do it for me!! Thank goodness the pizza did, and that was plenty of food.
(4)Todd C.
I tried this tonight with my wife, kids, parents, and extended family. The pizza was good if you like thin crust. Not exceptional, but better than average. Also, this was quite pricey for pizza. There were only one size pizzas, which were about the size of a medium. The Mia pizza we ordered with sausage and pepperoni was $15. Sparse toppings...not like Godfathers or others. Very nice interior design and atmosphere. There are several large tables where you sit with other patrons...different but neat. Not a huge place, so I would not recommend large parties. The service was very good. Willy Theisen himself was walking around and talking to customers. There is no take out and this is the first pizza place (or restaurant for that matter) I have come across has not offered take-out.
(3)Steve P.
Mamma Mia..fresh and tasty pizza and salad. One of the best pizza's I have had in my life! This place is a great spot for sensational food. The pizza's are thin crust and original with a wonderful assortment of specials. If you on this town...do not pass it by. Delicious.
(4)Spencer W.
IF ya call yourself a pizza place you better really know how to bring it. Although the atmosphere is truly great and the meatballs are memorable, the fact I paid that much for middle of the road pizza still kinda bugs me. Pizza prices around the nation dropped unusually fast the last couple years. Not at Pitch.
(3)Jeannie H.
Pizza we had was great. The white sangria very delish. Trendy and a little spendy.
(4)J C.
I've been here a handful of times since it's opened. There's always a good crowd but have never had to wait more than a minute or two for a table. Not a fan of the communal seating, esp. if you're looking to have an intimate conversation. It's more like sitting in a fancy school lunchroom. But not a dealbreaker. The food is really good. I don't get rave-y over pizza but their's is pretty damned good. My favorite is the 'Shrooms pizza. They also have awesome salads and side veggie dishes. The drinks are on the very good end, as well. I've had a few martinis here and they are never weak. The service has always been good to average. No bad experiences but nothing to brag about either. I'll definitely be back often. It's in the neighborhood. The food and drinks are really good and I'm getting better at rubbing elbows with strangers.
(4)V A.
Pitch has average to good pizzas and great appetizers. I has a great feel as a restaurant. If you go at night it is typically full, people are having a good time, and feels like a fun, happening place. I fully recommend Pitch if you haven't been there. My only complaint is that I can't seem to find nutritional information on their food. For that reason I give them 3 stars. They should publish this information and make it readily accessible to customers.
(3)Amy O.
Pitch has excellent atmosphere, wonderful pizza and fabulous salads. The sangria is also a must try.
(5)Elizabeth B.
We have been here four times now, and I have to say, this restaurant and it's staff are consistently excellent. We like the chicken pizza and the wings, and when we have ordered them to go they are just as good. The only things I would change if I owned this place would be: 1.) They place the hot pizza up on tin cans which is a bit dangerous if you have kids. 2.) The macaroni and cheese is probably the worst in all the world- but, again, we don't go there for that. The price is high here, but you do get what you pay for.
(5)Cathy S.
We love Pitch Pizza in Dundee. Just tried Pitch out west...the service was terrible, pizza was average. Did not see any managers. The pitch amber beer was a pleasant surprise. It was very good, had a hard time getting it, both times.
(2)Aynsley W.
Had a pretty great experience at Pitch. The service was great! The food is unique to our local produce, which is something you don't see often. This is all a great place to have a glass of wine and catch up with friends!
(4)Kate B.
Happy hour until 6 is the way to go. Pre-selected appetizers and drinks are $5 and $5 off all specialty pizzas. Green salad ($10): quite large (enough for 2) with a delicious homemade dressing, several kinds of greens, carrots, homemade croutons, and a lot of freshly grated cheese. Chicken pesto pizza ($18, 8 small slices, 12" diameter): fresh mozzarella, pesto, chicken, tomatoes, balsamic glaze. Move crunch to crust. The only change would be to ask for the glaze on the side bc it made the pizza a little soggy after awhile and overwhelmed some of the other great flavors. Pricy, but at least you get quality. Very nice ambiance. Great place for a date.
(4)Amanda M.
Way too loud and way too long to wait if you fall into the "no reservation" category. Even with a reservation be prepared to wait in a packed lobby for 20-30 minutes. I have been there twice and am underwhelmed by the pizza. We had the Thai pizza this last time and if was if they just put thai sauce directly on crust and called it a day. The rescue of the night was the pasta. We tried the house made Pappardelle. PHENOMENAL!! I made everyone at the table try it. The accompanying focaccia bread was amazing as well.
(4)Patra P.
I'm sad to say that the new manager (Alecia) is ruining what used to be an amazing Omaha restaurant. Hopefully they will find someone who actually knows how to treat customers and has a sense of professional conduct. I used to love it, but they need some management changes before we'll go back. :(
(1)Pam W.
Was on my own for lunch today and was looking forward to some pizza. Their pizza doesn't come in single servings (unless a 13' pizza is single serving for you). I opted for the burger of the day. It had a thick cut quality bacon, gorgonzola (not enough), balsamic reduction sauce, roasted red peppers, portabella mushrooms and fried onions (i think that was it). It was very juicy. I skipped the fries and went for the salad. I couldn't eat it all. It was massive! Delicious, but massive. Salad was average. I liked the rustic wood, brick and dim lighting. Service was really good. I was seated right away and waitress was attentive.
(4)Adam S.
Pitch is the place you go when you're not really sure what you want to eat, but you know you want it to be tasty and casual. It's a good place for lunch and dinner on almost any occasion.
(4)Cindy C.
Thanks for the great lunch. Took full advantage of the wine and pizza special. Great Rioja and Kim Crawford Pinot noir. Recommend the mushroom pizza and add sausage, meatballs, and eggplant appetizer.
(4)Bobby A.
True artisan pizza found here this is NOT Pizza Hut or Dominos this is real craft food with amazingly fresh ingredients. If you want a $5 pizza go to Pizza Ranch. Despite other reviews we had excellent service on a very busy CWS happy hour night. The staff were excellent and knew all products well. Being new to the Omaha area it is nice to see trendy places like this existing it reminds me of Chicago or NYC. Recommend anything on the menu but their white pizza is to die for. It was perfectly cooked in the coal fire ovens. Also recommend the goat cheese stuffed peppers delicious !
(5)Jenn L.
Great pizza! I got the margherita, my boyfriend got the bianco verde and we split the calamari. Everything was flavorful and fresh! Great sauce, nothing greasy. Service was very good. Only recommendation would be to call ahead for a reservation to avoid a community table if that's not your thing. Will be back!
(5)Stormy S.
Excellent place in a very cool section of Omaha! We were in town for work and some local friends in Omaha treated us to dinner and Pitch. They have a lot of different and delicious sounding italian dishes on the menu, but how can you come to a place with a coal-fired oven and NOT try the pizza?!? My wife and I had the Bianco Verde pizza and holy cow was it yummy! The creamy ricotta, combined with the sweet caramelized onions, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and arugula was so tasty. The crust was nice and crispy and had an awesome flavor. Our friends had the Shrooms pizza and although we didn't try it, it looks great! All in all, this is a great place, and I know we'll be back next time we're in town! Next time we'll spend some time after dinner checking out the rest of the Dundee area.
(5)Megan H.
Pitch makes my favorite kind of pizza...the amazing, crispy-yet-chewy crust true Italian-style pizza cooked perfectly over a hot coal fire. It is, without a doubt, the best pizza I've had in Omaha and some of the best pizza of this style that I've had in the United States (and even better than some of the pizza I've had in Italy). I like the pizza so much that it's the only thing I've had (besides the bruschetta...also good)...but let's talk about the pizza: Margherita is the perfect expression of pizza and theirs is good. There is usually a special pizza on the menu and they have some unique pizzas I want to try (like the pizza with figs, pears, goat cheese, and truffle oil...and the thai pizza). The weekly pizza keeps things exciting. Tips: make reservations (even on a weeknight), it's always been so crowded when I've been there and go during happy hour! The pizza and a bottle deal is great!
(5)Mark C.
An outstanding restaurant with good service and tasty food. If you are going for dinner, best to book a reservation through Open Table just to be safe. Parking in Dundee is somewhat limited. If you cannot find a spot on the street, Pitch also has parking across the street in the lot associated with Grandpa C's Mart. Received a Pitch gift card for Christmas and wanted to check out the restaurant. The restaurant is decent sized and holds up to just over 120 patrons. Atmosphere is trendy with nice wood and metal accents with dark finish. Very nice. Service was friendly, attentive and helpful. Several specials today to include salmon, pizza with spicy garlic shrimp, and lobster mac and cheese. We opted to start with a couple appetizers. Got the Roasted Brussels Sprouts with garlic, house cured pancetta and grana cheese as well as the Crispy Eggplant with mozzarella, tomato sauce and arugula. Both apps were extremely tasty. I especially loved the flavor of the roasted Brussels sprouts. The pancetta, cheese and oil with the char of the sprouts renders a very complimentary flavor. If you don't like sprouts, try these and see if they don't change your mind. Main courses were Comte Mac and Cheese with house cured pancetta, spinach and truffle oil. Wife really liked the dish. Her only slight complaint was that it could have used a bit more truffle oil. I got the special of the day which was the spicy garlic shrimp pizza. Pizza was great. Crust was soft and chewy, shrimp were cooked well and the garlic oil with cayenne peppers along with cheese and basil were great flavors. Brought the heat....in a very good way. We were well pleased with our meals. The only thing that I would consider a slight drawback is the expense. Went for a lunch and dropped $68.00 dollars, not counting tip. The Shrimp Pizza though extremely tasty with numerous shrimp was pretty steep for a 12 inch at $25.00. Soft drinks are another thing, no fountain there, so everything is in cans. $2.00 a pop and we both got refills so that worked out to $8.00 just for soda. The other menu items; mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts and eggplant were reasonably priced. Just glad we had the gift card. A definite place we would hit again.

I finally got the chance to try Pitch last week and let me say I was not disappointed! I've heard that his place is hopping every night of the week and boy they weren't kidding. I went with a group of 5 on a Tuesday and we would have had to wait a while if we hadn't made reservations. The food is probably what keeps Pitch in business, but the decor and the service take everything to the next level. The style is trendy urban meets rustic and truly elevates the dining experience. Wood and exposed brick mingle nicely with modern shelving and creatively styled wine bottles. The pizza is the best I've had since visiting Rome. Coal fired crust and the meltiest, stringiest cheese make the perfect canvas for some unique topping combinations. We ordered several pizzas in our group, and among the favorites were the pesto chicken with balsamic reduction and the Marsala (who knew figs belonged on a pizza?!). On occasion I drink beer and wine, but I'm a craft cocktail girl at heart. I was so pleased to find out that Pitch had a nice selection (about 10 or so) of creative cocktails to choose from. I loved the one with gin, cucumber, and basil...though I must say $9 is a bit pricey for the big O. It hindered me from trying another :(
(5)Sara K.
I have been here so many times and never a bad experience...in fact each time is always better than the last. The only pit-fall was our first time here when I brought my parents, poor mom and dad could hear a word anyone at the table was saying. It is noisy in the front of the restaurant...so if you are trying to have an intimate conversation, request a table near the back! Our servers have always been over-the-top helpful and very knowledgeable with outstanding recommendations. My least favorite thing I have had here is the Mac'n'Cheese...just too rich for my taste, but I have friends who order it every time. Recommendations for appetizers are the Crispy Eggplant (what makes eggplant better than frying it, loading it with marinara and throwing in some fried mozzarella?), Brussels Spouts (I have never been a fan, until Pitch came into my life and tossed them with pancetta!), the charcuterie board (can you ever go wrong with cheese and meats?) and the Buffalo Chicken Soup when they offer it! For entrees, my boyfriend swears by their burger, says it is the best in Omaha! Make sure you get the truffle fries and add a fried egg! The shrimp scampi is the standout pasta dish for me. And for pizzas, you just can't go wrong with any of them--love the classic Margherita, the Shrooms and the Bianco Verde the most. I have learned recently to just get the special though, it is always phenomenal! If my use of exclamation points is any sort of scale, I would have to say this is in my top 3 favorite spots in Omaha.
(5)Peter G.
I found the place old, yet still modern and is quite nice in appearance.The service was good and the food came quickly.Once we got the pizza it was delicious.
(5)Paul C.
Our favorite pizza in town so far. Service wasn't the best but the food made up for it and overall this was a great Yelp recommendation. Don't get back quickly to most places but definitely need to find a way to make this one happen again. Quality toppings, good size pizza and fair value for the quality.
(4)Justin T.
Pitch is an ideal place for family and friends. Customer service was a make to my personality. It was like a group of salesman with the perfect pitch to get you hooked. My wife and I tried the eggplant and it was fried to the T. Creamy texture and fresh cheese. The wings were bake with wonderful sauses. Don't get me started on the pizza. 1000 flavors hitting you mouth all at once on a thin crust layered pizza.
(5)Bigg T.
Absolutely fantastic pizza, wine and meatballs! Don't forget the meatballs! This is a great place to take a date or a business associate - but remember, it's open seating and you may end up sharing a table with a few other people. Personally, I think that's pretty cool. Super fantastic wine selection. Did I mention the meatballs? Fantastic! You can also order some pretty spectacular grilled artichokes.

I love Pitch! Great restaurant in Dundee, Omaha. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I love the decor and the lighting, very indie vibe. The food and service is what makes Pitch a 5-star review. We went on a Friday night, my party of three only had a 15 minute wait, which is awesome. Side note, you can't make reservations with a party under 4, so coming in as a walk-in is inevitable. Anyway, the three of us ordered a variety of food. My boyfriend built his own pizza (which is rather convenient), my friend ordered the Bianco Verde, and I got the coal-fired burger. Both the pizzas were delicious, and not being much of a cheese person, the mozzarella was really fresh and tasty. Though most people will rave about the pizza, I have to rant about how delicious my burger was. It was cooked medium, just how I wanted it, and was very juicy and tender and also came with a house aioli sauce. My side was the truffle fries, which is literally to die for. To top it all off, I got the red velvet cake for dessert and it was so good! It was spongey, moist, and doused in chocolate syrup. YUM. Overall great experience. Our waitress was very attentive, they have a huge wine and beer selection, and the food is always excellent. Highly recommend if you are in Dundee!

So, I absolutely love it when I go to Pitch... Usually. My husband and I had a very rare date night. We were at Pitch after the dinner rush - around 8pm. We put our names on the wait list. Since there weren't too many people standing around, we thought, "Okay. Shouldn't be too long..." Right? Wrong. After about 45 minutes of waiting and watching a 2-top go unused, I asked my husband to ask the hostess how much longer the wait would be. When he came back, he said, "She said there are 6 other parties in front of us." SIX! No one was seated from the time we arrived through the time we left... After having waited for nearly an hour, it seemed absolutely ridiculous to wait for six more parties to go through before we could even think of sitting... So, for this trip to Pitch, the rating and review is based, solely, on the lack of communication on the hostess' part. Had she communicated the wait time and situation, we would have thanked her and moved on to a different establishment. Note to Pitch: if you have 2-tops available, seat your smaller parties... We usually get done faster than larger parties, and your turn-around is better thereby engendering more loyalty in customers...

I was really disappointed after coming here for lunch. Pitch came highly recommended for its pizza in particular. My group got the chicken basil pie and a bunch of appetizers since those were discounted during the 3-6pm time window. The pizza was alright but the truffle fries, meatballs, and flatbread all were underwhelming. I'm not sure what the the big deal about all of them were, because they were pricey if it were not for that happy hour discount. Worst of all, he server was extremely slow and the plates were all dirty. The only redeeming part about pitch Is the atmosphere, which was quite comfortable and had a great soundtrack. I won't be coming for the food again though.

Was on my own for lunch today and was looking forward to some pizza. Their pizza doesn't come in single servings (unless a 13' pizza is single serving for you). I opted for the burger of the day. It had a thick cut quality bacon, gorgonzola (not enough), balsamic reduction sauce, roasted red peppers, portabella mushrooms and fried onions (i think that was it). It was very juicy. I skipped the fries and went for the salad. I couldn't eat it all. It was massive! Delicious, but massive. Salad was average. I liked the rustic wood, brick and dim lighting. Service was really good. I was seated right away and waitress was attentive.

Happy hour until 6 is the way to go. Pre-selected appetizers and drinks are $5 and $5 off all specialty pizzas. Green salad ($10): quite large (enough for 2) with a delicious homemade dressing, several kinds of greens, carrots, homemade croutons, and a lot of freshly grated cheese. Chicken pesto pizza ($18, 8 small slices, 12" diameter): fresh mozzarella, pesto, chicken, tomatoes, balsamic glaze. Move crunch to crust. The only change would be to ask for the glaze on the side bc it made the pizza a little soggy after awhile and overwhelmed some of the other great flavors. Pricy, but at least you get quality. Very nice ambiance. Great place for a date.

Pitch is the place you go when you're not really sure what you want to eat, but you know you want it to be tasty and casual. It's a good place for lunch and dinner on almost any occasion.
(4)Cindy C.
Thanks for the great lunch. Took full advantage of the wine and pizza special. Great Rioja and Kim Crawford Pinot noir. Recommend the mushroom pizza and add sausage, meatballs, and eggplant appetizer.

Way too loud and way too long to wait if you fall into the "no reservation" category. Even with a reservation be prepared to wait in a packed lobby for 20-30 minutes. I have been there twice and am underwhelmed by the pizza. We had the Thai pizza this last time and if was if they just put thai sauce directly on crust and called it a day. The rescue of the night was the pasta. We tried the house made Pappardelle. PHENOMENAL!! I made everyone at the table try it. The accompanying focaccia bread was amazing as well.

Delicious pizza and appetizers, excellent service, and good value if you get the "pizza & bottle" weekday special-- just don't expect to be in and out quickly, and consider bringing hearing protection if the place is busy. We arrived on a Tuesday evening, and the place was PACKED. Even with a reservation, we had to wait a bit for our table to be ready. Once seated, however, the table service here was exemplary. Drinks were brought out in short order and appetizers not long after, but there was a long wait for the pizza to arrive-- not really surprising considering how crowded the place was. I'm sure that the primary reason the place was so hectic on a Tuesday night was the "pizza & bottle" special they run on Monday and Tuesday evenings: choice of any of their specialty pizzas plus a bottle of house red or white wine or carafe of Sangria for $30 (optional upgrade to fancier wine for $10 or $20 more). An excellent deal considering that the cheapest bottle alone is $30 on the regular menu! We went with the Quattro pie (mozzarella, goat cheese, smoked cheddar, grana) and Sangria-- both were quite tasty. The pizza was small-ish (they only come in one size, apparently), but enough for sharing between two--especially since we also ordered appetizers. The roasted brussels sprouts were amazing; in fact I thought they were probably the most memorable part of the meal. Our party also ordered and shared a large salad, olive plate, and bruschetta-- all good stuff! One complaint I had about dining here was the noise level: it was almost painfully loud in the dining room; at times I even found it difficult to hear the person next to me. Oh well, that's what we get for going for the "special" along with everyone else in town!

I have been wanting to go to Pitch for a very long time and this past weekend, I was finally able to. The ambiance is very smooth with dim lighting and nice chairs and tables. Some of the tables are very long tables and they kind of force you to eat with strangers if you happen to get sat at one, which I'm not a huge fan of. The menu is very simple, which is great. They have daily/weekly specials as well, and they all sounded yummy. My group of four ordered and in about 5-10 minutes, we were eating our food. One of the fastest ticket times for a restaurant that I have ever seen. I loved the pizza my sister and brother-in-law got, Shrooms, a lot more than the one I got, Bianca Verde. There was supposed to be caramelized onions on my pizza, but they weren't caramelized at all, just cut and thrown on it seemed. Also, my crust was pretty limp on the bottom, which I'm not a huge fan of. My wife got the Smoked Mac N' Cheese and it was amazing. Some of the best Mac N' Cheese that I've ever had. I also got the Creme Brulee and that was pretty good, even though I felt that it was a tad overcooked. (I still think the Creme Brulee I make is better.) Of course the prices are a tad higher than normal restaurants due to the upscale ingredients and notoriety of the restaurant, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, the experience was great and I can't wait to go back and try something else!

I love Pitch. I can't believe I haven't written a review. I remember my first time and I was so surprised by the atmosphere. It seemed like a place that would be somewhere else, not in Omaha. I love the community tables but prefer the short ones. They have tall tables with nice hooks for your purse but my clogs often fall off when I sit there. Pitch has a great happy hour which runs ALL day on Sunday. The best part in my opinion is the 1/2 price bottles of wine. The staff usually can make excellent wine recommendations and I have enjoyed some lovely wines there--at half price. Happy hour also includes $5 appetizers including the meatballs which both of my children love!! Appetizers usually are 2 for $12 and my favorites are the brussel sprouts and the truffle fries. I have converted many a brussel hater with these sprouts. Their salads are another favorite. Wonderful wedge salad, Their arugula salad is amazing with walnuts, pears, gorgonzola all wrapped up in procuitto! YUM!! I've also had the artichoke salad, the beet salad and the spinach mushroom salad and can say they were all amazing. I've tried many of the pies but my favorite is the Shrooms. At this point, I don't even bother getting anything else, because in my mind, nothing lives up to the taste of the shrooms. They have entrees and burgers too but I stick to pizza, salad and appetizers. Good selection of beers and some nice cocktails as well!

I have never had a bad experience here, the staff is always great explaining the special menu items, I was here one time and they had fresh Alaskan Halibut on a special menu, absolutely amazing.
(5)Eileen C.
Food is only okay, environment is not bad but service was terrible. Appetizers: flatbread, truffle fries, meatballs, and Brussel sprouts. Flatbread was overwhelmed with arugula.. Where was the flat bread??? Truffle fries were average.. Not bad but not great. Needed more of the truffle flavor. Brussel sprouts and meatballs were average. Didn't feel like either had enough flavor. Entrees: basil pesto chicken pizza. This actually was good in my opinion. Not the best pizza I ever had but in Omaha, I'm assuming this is not too bad of a pizza option. Would've rated a 3 but the service was just not good. Our server seemed like he didn't really care about his job, the customers, and was super slow. We came at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. It is not busy (maybe just 2 other tables but there was more than one server around). And he also forgot one of our entrees but didn't apologize and made me feel like it was my fault that he didn't write down our orders.. Not cool Pitch. Took forever to get anything (orders taken, check, water).
(2)Aubree E.
The interior is such a beautiful atmosphere and I loved the decor. However it's not a very intimate environment and it's pretty loud. They don't offer a lot of vegetarian options but what I had was delicious! Too bad they forgot our apatizer. And they ID!
(4)Matt K.
As a Omaha-born Brooklyn native, I feel confident saying that this is the best NY style pizza you'll find in the Good Life state. While their crust cannot match that of New York, the mozzarella and tomato sauce are easily on par with those in my Brooklyn neighborhood. Delicious salads and apps as well. We love the calamari, meatballs, olives in particular.
(5)Patra P.
I'm sad to say that the new manager (Alecia) is ruining what used to be an amazing Omaha restaurant. Hopefully they will find someone who actually knows how to treat customers and has a sense of professional conduct. I used to love it, but they need some management changes before we'll go back. :(

First things first: Make reservations. I am so glad I did because it was one of those first few days of really nice warm spring weather. And it was a Friday night. I was seated near the hostess podium and they had to turn people away! Now about that food. Oooooh so good. I'm drooooling thinking about that food right now. I have three slices of leftover pizza in the fridge and they're calling my name. But I have to finish this review first. From all the tips about the Mia Pie ($18), I had to get it. The mozzarella was gooey, fresh, and stringy. Large pepperoni slices. Generous serving of house made fennel sauasage. (This was delicious btw. and surprising to me because I usually hate anyhting fennel. Just ask any of my friends. Me and fennel don't get along, but they made it work!) I thought for the price it was a little pricey for my broke student budget, so next time I'll go during happy hour for $5 off any pizza. One of my friends ordered the traditional burger with truffle fries ($11) and ohhhhh emmmm geeeeez, I snuck one of her truffle fries (and a couple more later, because you know.) deelicioussss. I'm going to have to order that next time I go because it was amazing. They seem have a lot of great food options here, from salads to pastas-- not just pizza. And I found myself with wandering eyes looking at what other people ordered and everything looked so dang good! Definitely one of the best places to dine in Omaha. 5/5 stars
(5)Cara C.
Best dining experience in Omaha. Our server, Joelle, was amazing and made our first time there awesome. Also, everything we ordered was seriously delicious. We got the brussel sprouts, truffle fries, and the $30 wine + pizza combo with the thai pie. It's perfect as a date night or for a large group. This is definitely going to be a regular spot for us!
(5)Jessica S.
Oh man! This place was good! We made a reservation, which is a good tip because it was busy on a Saturday night. The place had a good atmosphere and was pretty trendy. We were greeted right away and heard about their mouth-watering specials. Blue crab stuffed rainbow trout! YUM! But for $35, it was a little out of the price range. I ordered a cocktail. A blackberry and peach sangria. It was served in a wine glass, but more-or-less just tasted like red wine. I wasn't able to pick out the notes of fruit. Not sure if I am just acclimated to cheap or DIY sangria. The four of us ordered 2 pizzas, and the smoked mac-n-cheese. The mushroom and tomato pizza was good. I am not a huge mushroom pizza, but the tomatos were fresh and tasty. My husband got the Bianca Verde: caramelized onions (which seemed almost raw), fresh arugula (the best!), creamy ricotta sauce, and prosciutto. One of the best pizza combinations I've had. I would totally get this again! I got the smoked mac-n-cheese wich came with mushrooms, asparagus, shrimp, and chicken. This was by far the best mac-n-cheese I've ever consumed. So tasty and flavorful. Adding the shrimp really brought it up a notch! Not too bad for $20. Besides the high prices and the drink that was a let-down, I am excited to go back and try some more of their food.
(4)Anthony R.
Mediocre food and skull-rattlingly loud. We ordered pizza-to-go and I am glad we got our pizza and went. The twenty minutes we waited (after calling ahead 30 minutes before arrival) were wasted in noisy silence. I could not hear my wife sitting next to me. Interactions with the staff devolved into shouting, grimacing, and arm-waving. Why all the noise? Good live music, you might ask? NO. Just blaring low-royalty music pumped up to rattle the bottles behind the bar. Ambiance? Hipster has gone mainstream here, too. I suggest a false beard and some hair pomade if you're male, and a false beard and some hair pomade if you're female. Wear skinny jeans and GET SOMETHING PIERCED. You want to BE mainstream, not LOOK mainstream. Insert comment here about how I just don't get it, aren't with it, am out of touch, etc. Or just accept the fake that one can take a trend too far. Nevertheless, the pizza crust was good. What is it about burning the metamorphosed and lithified remains of ancient life forms that makes a pizza crust so tasty? Sadly, that is where it ended. The marinara was omitted from the pie. We noted this to the server and asked for a side after checking the pizza, and were charged $4.00 for what was supposed to be there in the first place. Uggh, I said. Ooorframaoffooleppal said the staff member (I think). He was very friendly, but could not understand the International Sign Language expression for "this pizza is dry". Why was the pie mediocre? The mushrooms..they were not sliced, but just thrown on there. Upon arriving they had formed a union in the corner of the box and were demanding justice or something. Don't get me started on the caramelized onions, either. They weren't caramelized, just greasy. I suppose I will put this experience down to a bad day. I can't really pass judgment on a restaurant in one visit. Everyone has those kinds of days. But they do need to turn the music down or issue ear protection to the guests. Also they need to pay attention to their craft. The pie crust was soooo good I would try the place again, but I would never dine in unless the noise level were reduced.
(2)Aynsley W.
Had a pretty great experience at Pitch. The service was great! The food is unique to our local produce, which is something you don't see often. This is all a great place to have a glass of wine and catch up with friends!
(4)Laura G.
Why did I rate this place so poorly before?? I am certain my previous visit was during an off day. This last visit was truly AMAZING! I had the Bolognese Pasta, my husband had the Thai pizza and my mother in law had a cheese burger with Swiss. Everything was cook to perfection. I devoured my pasta. I chose to get it with homemade noodles, of which, I advise everyone of doing. My husband's pizza had a lot of chicken and carrots on it. A different kinda of pizza, so you need to be open minded. Now, my mother in law had probably the best burger I have ever eaten. It was cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful! You must get the special burger sauce that comes with the burgers. Lastly, our waiter. The last time we went to the Pitch I could not say enough of how poor the service was. This time was the complete OPPOSITE. Our waiter's name was Dan(I think). He helped all of us boost our meals. He recommended the burger sauce and the homemade noodles for our meals. He had excellent knowledge of the entire menu. He also recommended delicious beverages. He was consistent and made sure we were comfortable without being annoying. Overall, this experience outweighed our previous visit tremendously. I cannot wait to go back!

Cleanliness 4 Service 3 Food Quality 4 Likelihood 3 1-5 (5 Best!) 3.5 Our visit to Pitch. We walked up from our home near Leavenworth Street. Birthday dinner for 4 people. Our reservation was for 7:15, we arrived a bit early. We were warmly greeted when we arrived, thank you. I noticed immediately how "loud" the entry-way was, the dining room was fairly loud. If you are looking for quiet or low-noise this is NOT a good fit. The food was fresh. Mostly tasty and brought to table quickly. The glasses for iced tea and water are very small, probably 14-16 oz glasses. I advised the server that I drink a lot and a carafe would be a good fit. He said that is not an option and he would insure I don't run out. I ran out 3 times. He spent more time on tables that were all female. Restrooms were very clean, good job. Thank you. It was very busy. I thought it was interesting, this night, that most of those who were seated were female, I bet a 5 to one ratio. Food was ok. A bit overpriced, in my opinion. Service was just ok. Ambiance was visually appealing and very loud. If a trendy bar-restaurant, with food that isn't bad is a good fit for you. It isn't for us. I am glad we tried it.
(3)Kayla C.
Pitch presents themselves as a pizza place, however, I think their best food is not the pizza. The many other offerings on the menu are my personal favorites. I am not a big fan of meat so it is nice that they have good vegetarian options. Their white bean burger and eggplant parmesan are to die for. I never thought that "excellent" and "eggplant" would go together in the same sentence until I tried theirs. They also offer excellent salad options for the health conscious and I have yet to try a soup that I did not think was flavorful. They have a wide array of craft cocktails and many wines to choose from. The atmosphere is excellent and is multi-functional; from date night to a birthday celebration with family and friends.

I love, love, love Pitch. Probably my favorite pizza in Omaha. On each of my several visits I've always been blown away by their pizza, sides and more. Let's break things down a bit, shall we? Pizza: Sometimes being adventurous here brings the best results. My favorites have been the Bianco Verde (Ricotta cream, prosciutto, carmamelized onions, arugula, mozzarella) and the Shrooms (thyme cream, roasted mushrooms, oven dried tomatoes, grana, truffle oil). Note that the truffle oil on the shrooms pizza is a heavenly food-gazmic combination. Of course I've tried Willy's Favorite as well -- but have not been that impressed. I mean it's just a sausage and pep pizza. It's good and all, but there are better options, for sure. Salads/sides: You have to try the roasted Brussels sprouts -- are are nutty and a bit oily and pure deliciousness. Same goes for the roasted beet salad -- all around amazing with butternut squash, baked goat cheese, pistachios, beets and red wine vinaigrette. Fun facts: They pretty much cure all their meat in-house (what's that fancy word for that? Charcuterie?). Pitch is the latest offering from Godfather's Pizza founder and former owner Willy Theisan. Maybe Pitch is his way of apologizing for those terrible cookie pizzas? Basically, Pitch is one of the best spots in town to wine/dine/nom on some pizza and other delicious bites. And it shows as this place is ALWAYS PACKED!
(5)Jon P.
AMAZING. We had the coal fired herb wings and the buffalo chicken pizza (the weekly special). Let me just say that fresh arugula on a buffalo chicken pizza works. Great. The service was fantastic (Nancy was our server) and the atmosphere just works. Getting set at a community table was an experience not to be passed on. Next time we are in Omaha we will be back.
(5)Steve S.
By far one of my worst experiences in Omaha. The food was not too great, the service was worse than terrible. We got the truffle fries, meatballs, flatbread and a chicken basil pie. The flatbread seemed like it was an abandoned house that was overrun by arugula. Honestly, we had to use a machete to find the cracker it was sitting on to cut through making it able to share. The meatballs may have been the best portion of this meal. They were moist and had a decent flavor, however, they did not have enough sauce. The truffle fries had a good flavor and were interesting, but, obviously it is difficult to make a meal out of truffle fries. The chicken basil pie was interesting to say the least, had a decent flavor, however it was small and overpriced for what it was. The service was possibly the worst I have ever received, our server took forever to take our order, forever, to bring our food, forgot our truffle mac and cheese, then after making eye contact with him multiple times, still failed to come over to the table. This is by far the worst service out of all of our meals in Omaha.
(1)David C.
West location has one of the worst servers I have ever encountered. Do not go there if you service within half hour-food takes a least an hour even though the restaurant was empty and shots took at least constant asking the bar. I love the service at the other restaurants, but don't ever go out west. Got moved between 3 waitresses and only 1 was good. Worst service out west by far
(1)R S.
I've had a hard time finding good pizza in Omaha. Pitch definitely has it. Make sure to also get an arugula salad and a bottle of wine- you're going to want this meal to last as long as possible.
(5)Michael T.
Overrated. Very hard to get a table or even take out when it gets busy and the food has never been better than just ok. Decor is nice and it's usually a hip crowd so you might really like it - most people do. I just don't think anything they serve is worth the hassle of dealing with this place.
(2)Jordan S.
We kept hearing about Pitch so we knew we needed to give it a try. It was no surprise that the place was packed and we had to wait 30 minutes to get a seat. The wait was definitely worth it! The pizza was delicious and the atmosphere made the food even better! I love that you can watch the chef bake the pizza in the coal-fired oven. The service was great and the restaurant owner even brought over some free truffle fries for us to try. They were delicious and we will definitely be ordering them again on our next trip. We ordered the tres peps pizza which was so tasty. I love that the serve the pizza on top of a turned over can. It is a fun but also classy restaurant. Overall a great place and we can't wait to try it out again!
(4)Matthew O.
Been hearing all the hype about Pitch, especially with the Top 100 Hotspot in America distinction, and decided I just had to try it. Not like anyone twisted my arm. Who doesn't like coal-fired pizza? Exactly. First off, this place is busy. Had reservations for 6 pm on a Saturday night and the place (although some seating was open) was essentially packed, and it just got more and more packed throughout the night. Great atmosphere, Edison lightbulbs, community-style seating down the middle (separated seating elsewhere) -- definitely a cool vibe perfect for Dundee. I'd done my research on the menu ahead of time, and knew there was a wide range of items as far as price goes. Dinner entrées all seemed enticing, but for my first trip I knew I had to try a pizza. My wife and I decided to split, and we went with the Shroom pizza....and we picked a winner. Fresh tomatoes, thyme cream, delicious mushrooms. This pizza was worth every penny. And to top it off, it was served piping hot in what seemed like minutes after we ordered. Washed it all down with an ice cold Strongbow -- a great meal. Sampled my brother-in-law's Bianca Verde pizza and although I enjoyed it, I was disappointed that the "caramelized onions" weren't even close to caramelized. They seemed to be put on raw and were cooked just a bit so I had to pick them off the slice I tried. With the onions removed, I did like the pizza. Didn't love it, but I thought it was good. I mean, who doesn't like prosciutto on a pizza? But the Smoked Mac 'n Cheese was, hands down, the star of the show. Tried a bite of my sister-in-law's very generous portion (nicely done, Pitch) and was amazed by the depth of flavor, richness and the quality of the ingredients. So so so good. Sampled the Crème Brulée for dessert and thought it was on par with most of the créme brulées I've had. It got the job done. Service from our waiter, Matt, was top notch. He knew how to describe every item with great detail and enthusiasm, and with a busy, busy night he kept up with service just fine. He definitely did a great job in describing the special -- he had me wanting to try it, but the price ($35) re-oriented me toward pizza. Would love to come back to Pitch and sample more pizzas, but without a doubt want to try some of their entrées -- especially the halibut. Definitely check this place out.
(4)Kyle T.
Let me begin by saying they have some of the best wings in town. Really. When they have a capable staff in the kitchen, the wings are outstanding. Other than that, there's really no reason to go there. If you don't have a reservation, expect to be scolded and then kicked out, even when there are plenty of open tables. Mediocre pizza, overpriced specials, lackluster service and food quality that's a roll of the dice -- sometimes food's prepared well, sometime's it's baked/roasted/grilled beyond recognition -- doesn't make for a very pleasant evening. We've given them the benefit of the doubt more than once, thinking maybe it was an off night. But the constant drama of standing around waiting for a table when there's a sea of empty ones, the high prices and so-so food is a constant. The indifference of the management to all this is astonishing. We'll miss the wings but we won't be back. Don't say you weren't warned.
(1)Sarah G.
Apparently I'm waffling here... (Mmm, waffles). Because on the topic of Pitch I've now gone from 4-stars to 3-stars and now back to 4-stars. Try not to get whiplash here... Our most recent visit included pizza (obviously) and some of the lighter side options. Ironically when I polled people on my Facebook page about what to order I got a ton of recommendations for Pitch's vegetable-heavy dishes... also the meatballs. Having enjoyed the Arugula Salad a couple times previously, we branched out a bit and followed the recommendation for Coal Fired (of course) Long Stem Artichokes. And while the menu describes these as coming with 'lemon dipping sauce' it was really so much more. Yes the sauce was amazing, yes the artie's were nicely charred, but they arrived with a bed of lettuce and light dressing with tomatoes. Great dish for sharing. I was still coming off of my summer goat cheese peppadew kick, so those were on order next. These were pretty much exactly as described, but I was disappointed that the salad overshadowed the dainty poppers, which gave the appearance of a sidecar rather than the main event. Still, delicious. Can't really complain too much about that. Pizzas were pretty spot on also. We had the Marsala: figs, goat cheese, pears, arugula, truffle oil, mozzarella and the crowd-pleaser Mia (Willy's Favorite): tomato sauce, fennel sausage, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella. None of my former qualms surfaced... plus it was $30 bottle and pie night, so who's complaining now?! I'm not really a big wine drinker, probably due to lack of education, but I do know that the Pitch Black red blend is really right in my wheelhouse. And with so many more tantalizing items that I still haven't tried, I predict another trip back in the near future. Have things changed or is Pitch just growing on me?
(4)Rex D.
Came into pitch at around 11:45 am, and had a really rough lunch with my wife. I ordered the BLT special with a salad, my wife ordered a burger with fries. The BLT arrived with Bacon that was quite literally black. So much so that I didn't even have to complain to the server I just pulled out a strip of bacon and pointed to it. The server suggested that we apply new bacon to the sandwich (. . . Great) I just asked for a cup of soup instead, as I was in a rush. The burger arrived with a pre moistened bun, which was pretty gross to touch even on the very top. While the service was fine, and the replacement soup was fine.We still paid full price for the lunch which was the worst meal I have been presented in a very long time. For the level of investment in this place, and the prices charged/quality ratio should be much better.
(1)KyeongMin L.
I love their chicken pesto pizza. However, their portion is not that big. I can eat their pizza all by myself. Good food and good place to hang out with friends. service is really good.
(5)Justine R.
Good food and wine. Nice attentive servers. They will work with you for vegetarian and non dairy options. I wish they had not gotten rid of the white bean cake.
(4)Jennifer M.
Pizza is always delicious. Any pie is a good choice but have to say the Mia is my favorite. As far as appetizers you can't go wrong with the meatballs but the best thing is the Rosemary wings! Love! Thanks Willy!
(5)Christopher B.
I'm a pizza snob. There's no other way so say it. When one is born in the Boston area and ends up living for a short period in NYC metro area, one comes to expect certain things in a great pizza. Tasty crust. Adequate sauce to toppings ratio and a variety of delectable toppings. Pitch is one of few places in Omaha that meets these criteria. Their custom pies are great, but they have just enough great protein and veggies toppings that one can make his/her own masterpiece if desired! But pizza isn't the only fantastic thing at Pitch. Other food menu items and signature drinks are quite tasty too. Combined with a low-key welcoming atmosphere, incredibly friendly service team members and a great soundtrack playing in the background, Pitch is a prime place to relax with friends after a long day of hard work!

This review is for the Yelp Burger Brigade trip to Pitch. Excellent job by Will S. coordinating things and making everyone feel welcome. What a nice, friendly group of people! If you've been on the fence about going to one of these Yelp events, come out and do it. The service for our event was great. Very attentive and on top of things. Groups can be difficult on servers, but ours handled it without breaking a sweat. Great job! The burger itself was pretty good. It was a little hard to eat, I needed a knife and fork, but I still enjoyed it. It was cooked to order and well seasoned. Another Yelper suggested getting it with the white cheddar and that suggestion was spot on. I also had mushrooms on mine and they were very good. A very generous portion of truffle fries were the side. I adore Pitch's truffle fries. They are always hot, crisp and perfect. Pitch is first and foremost an excellent pizza place and I'm sure I'll go back to ordering pizza next time around, but I'm glad I tried the burger. It hit the spot just fine.

This place has it all! Ambiance, service, and delicious food! Apparently the rest of Omaha knows it too, so make reservations. This place gets packed! The decor is modern, with wood, stone, stained concrete and funky drop lights that illuminated the room just enough to be cozy and intimate. The menu is well rounded, with a little something for everyone. There are steaks, pasta, salads, appetizers, and the fire roasted pizza, which is why I made the trek from my hotel downtown. A salad and a pizza was enough food for two hungry people, but just enough! Cuz my dinner companion, all but licked the plate. I highly recommend the Tres Peppas pizza. Thin crispy crust with Pepperoni, Pepperoncinis, and jalapeños. We added onions to produce a pizza of utter perfection. Prices are a little lofty. A 12 inch pizza for $17 and our peppadew and goat cheese salad was $9 But, I am certainly not going to quibble, when the pizza and salad were so delectable. Just be aware that impressing your date won't be as cheap as carry out Lil Caesars. But, hey! You're not that kinda girl anyway!

True artisan pizza found here this is NOT Pizza Hut or Dominos this is real craft food with amazingly fresh ingredients. If you want a $5 pizza go to Pizza Ranch. Despite other reviews we had excellent service on a very busy CWS happy hour night. The staff were excellent and knew all products well. Being new to the Omaha area it is nice to see trendy places like this existing it reminds me of Chicago or NYC. Recommend anything on the menu but their white pizza is to die for. It was perfectly cooked in the coal fire ovens. Also recommend the goat cheese stuffed peppers delicious !

Great pizza! I got the margherita, my boyfriend got the bianco verde and we split the calamari. Everything was flavorful and fresh! Great sauce, nothing greasy. Service was very good. Only recommendation would be to call ahead for a reservation to avoid a community table if that's not your thing. Will be back!

This was our first visit to this place since moving here. It was recommended by some good friends. The atmosphere was great! The bartender was very friendly and on top of it during our whole time there. We tried the bruschetta and shared one of their pizzas. They have a great happy hour as well. We will definitely be back to visit again.

I'm going to have to stick with 4 stars for this time. I had been to Pitch only once in the past and that was before I got bitten by Yelp. I also had a different eating philosophy. Today was another stop on will S' Burger Brigade. I think I may be up for a promotion in rank. The first thing I saw were the shadow people. It was pretty dark. It was late lunchtime. Reservations for the 'Gade had secured a table near the bus area. Our server came over to us as we arrived a bit early (who wouldn't be on time for foody yums?) and offered recommendations and opinions.I got an Odell's IPA to start. Wifey got a great red blend wine A few others arrived and sat at the table with us. A shout out to Hector, Regina, and Trish! All new to the Brigade and excited to be a part of it. Soon enough,our Burger General shows up and we start to talk about food. Appetizers ordered were Veggie sliders, for me, brussel sprouts, meatball sliders, and an an Olive bowl. I was a little surprised that my sliders were just some steamed veggies and arugala. I don't know what I thought it would be, but I was off guard. The olive bowl was pretty good . 3 kinds of olives and some foccacia spears. I am not a fan of olives and these ones had pits. Still pretty good. Since this is the Burger Brigade it makes sense that we talk burgers. Wifey got a veggie sandwich the kitchen made sure was vegan and that was pretty good. It appeared to be a full size veggie sliders sans white cheddar. I ordered the crispy white bean burger. Since capers make me cringe, the mustard sauce was on the side. the house made pickles were tasty, but really thick. I had to smash my burger sown a few times just to be able to eat it. It didn't hit home. It was a little shy on flavor. Nothing stood out as any sort of OMG moment. It was just a burger. Bummer. I will be back, but will probably just focus on a beer
(4)Happy D.
The service is very good. the food is prompt. Portions are huge and the food is good. The pizza is avg. the restaurant has a good vibe with good music. fun place to hang out. brought the kids with issues.

Its been a while since I last lived in Omaha, 1999 to be exact. And when I lived in Omaha its culinary prowess was not exactly something the city was known for. Now granted Omaha had its few hits and places that were fairly tasty. Most places offered your classic americana dishes, burgers, fish/seafood, pizza, and so on. But in the 15 years that I've been gone some things have changed for the better in Omaha, especially in terms of that culinary prowess. The number of quality restaurants in Omaha has seemed to dramatically increase and for a foodie like myself this is music to my ears...or stomach. Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria represents that culinary explosion that has seemed to come over the city. Upon my visit to Pitch I was surprised to find that it had a very urban and hip feel without any sense of pretentiousness. This is great place for a casual date, hang out with friends, or just enjoy a casual and fun night out with your significant other. Their extensive wine menu offers a bit a class to Pitch and on Sunday nights bottles are 1/2 off! I also love the menu at Pitch. From a variety of starters, to their delicious salads, their chef inspired pasta's, and oh yeah their delicious pizza's. Pitch offers a little bit of something for everyone. I ordered the Heirloom Spinach Mushroom Salad and the Bianco Verde Pizza. I absolutely loved both! The salad was amazing. First of all this salad doesn't need added meat and this is coming from the most carnivorous person I know. The mushroom are so thick and substantial that it adds a meat like heartiness to the salad. Then the feta, the quinoa, and the pistachios create a unique flavor that you will not find in many salads. Then there is the pizza! Oh my goodness. We went with the Bianco Verde and it was everything we dreamed it to be. First of all, the tastiness of this pizza starts with the crust. So perfectly light, airy, and yet filling at the same time. The Bianco Verde is taste so fresh and creamy. The ricotta cream base paired with the freshness of the arugula and the saltiness of the prosciutto makes quite a tasty pizza. Lastly, we order the Bread Pudding to make this one of the most perfect meals ever! The bread pudding is a must if you have room for it. Soo...make room for the bread pudding! Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria is the absolute real deal. Everytime I come back to Omaha I will make a visit to Pitch. But what would really make me excited is if Pitch decided to build a location in Houston, Tx where I live. Their pizza would seriously be some of the best in town and I would be their quite often!
(5)Robbie A.
From CA and new to the area. My landlord recommended I try the place. Needless to say, it was a great recommendation. The food was great (amazing truffle fries). The service was super excellent. The staff was on it and super friendly. 5/5 all the way.
(5)Michal L.
I love this place! Great Pizza, great meatballs, and amzing bread! Don't miss it if you are in the area!
(5)Teagues C.
Very confused on the reservation procedure here... Called around 5pm and wanted to make a reservation for 3 at 6:30pm and was told you could only make reservations for 4 people. Recruited others and called to make a reservation for 5 at 6:30pm and was told that reservations could only be made more than 3 hours in advance at that a table could only be guaranteed for 9pm and to call around 630pm to inquire about a wait but that I could not be put on a "list." Bizarre that this all couldn't have been relayed on the first call.
(1)Matthew M.
Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria made me and my family the best pizza I've had in a while. The reason I said it is good for kids is because the bar is in a separate room than the regular. My personal favorite is the Mia pizza with sausage, pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. If you live anywhere close to Pitch and have not yet eaten there, I encourage you to visit them. P.S. it was so great that we went back the next day.
(5)Milton T.
Excellent Midtown Mary (Bloody Mary), truffle fries, and spicy shrimp pizza. Service was great....very friendly and attentive staff. Definitely a place to be.
(4)Ali L.
Went here again for dinner on a Friday night. Wow, was this place busy!! Still a tad pricey, but what bothered me was that the waitress added on an automatic 20% "large party" tip, when we only had 5 people eating, and a baby in a highseat drinking from it's bottle. I wasn't impressed by this method one bit. The food was good, except the calamari appetizer was a bit soggy. I'm not sure how that happens, but it wasn't all that good. The Shrooms and Chicken Basil pizza were both good, but my new favorite is the Chop Salad. Might just stick with that next time and call it a day. Also, their meatballs are as large as your fist. The most impressive part was Willy Thiesen was there checking on tables. I love seeing when owners check on their restaurants. For that reason alone, and the salad, we'll be back..
(3)Brooke U.
We found this place by accident when leaving the airport and were very suprised at how wonderful the food was.
(5)Rowena M.
It's hard not to fall in love with the vibe of this place. Be it with a group of friends, a fun date, or even with the family, I can see how this local joint can be a neighborhood favorite. I'm not from Omaha and there must be some explanation to a pizza place not having a more extensive selection of beers on tap, but my friend "Stella" was around, so I was ok. We made 2 pizza choices - a Margherita for the kiddos and the pie of the week which happens to be chicken pancetta. Accompanied with goat cheese, pappadew peppers and parsley, the pizza had a lot of flavor. I might have appreciated a more substantial crust as ours tended to be bullied by the strong toppings. Another gripe was the price tag - $25 for a pizza?! (pizzas only came in one size) C'mon! The ambience was hip but sometimes, the only excuse for really loud music is if it's coming from a live band. Otherwise, the buzz of happy people eating their pizza may not need to compete with blasting music. A solid spot and one I would visit again.
(4)Chris O.
This is a neat little place in a neighborhood called Dundee. Despite my dislike of anything having to do with coal, it's pretty good. Pros: Great ambiance. Great service. Excellent wedge salad. Good selection of beers. Cons? Pizza a little on the salty side. Possibly from the olives. Pizza not quite saucy enough. Had to order a side of sauce for $1.00 to sauce it up. Pricey for what it is. But they were busy so I could be wrong. My tab for 1 13" 2 topping pizza, 1 wedge salad and 2 beers was $38.62.
(4)Rachel S.
One of the best restaurants in all of Omaha. I highly recommend going here and trying as much of the yummy food as you can. Aside from the great food, the beer and wine list is great and the ambiance is to die for. The detailed lighting and décor is just so heartwarming. Go! Scampi, Pizza, Salads-try it all!
(5)Reed N.
This place is about a millimeter from 5 stars. Excellent pizza. Incredible salads. Stellar service. Great location and ambiance. I had the roasted beet salad and just loved it. I was both pretty and flavorful. The pizza of the day when I was there had a white sauce (very little), filet mignon slices, arugula, and a few other toppings. It was excellent, with a nice crust that was properly cooked. You will notice wine bottles used as decor everywhere here, which makes me want to come back after hours and have some to drink (with more food). : )
(4)Stephen F.
I think this is one of the best places to eat in the Omaha metro area. The food is fantastic. Pitch is a great place for pizza or any of the entrees. The meatballs are amazing, the pizza selection is great and there are always a number of enticing specials.
(5)John W.
Pitch! Listen people. The food was amazing! The servers know their menu well and promote their strengths! I highly recommend stopping in and checking it out! Very down to earth establishment that let's the food talk and not their dress code. Lastly I was impressed with the open conversation about other specials the have during peak seasonal time fore other foods. Great job Pitch!
(4)Chuck P.
First time here and I must say I'm quite impressed!! The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the street. Plenty of seating with great service... Oh, and the pizza is Phenomenal!!! We told our server it was our first time her and she explained everything wonderfully!! Will definitely return!! I highly recommend the chicken pesto pie!!!!
(4)Chris M.
Best pizza in Omaha. They tend to go traditional but blend in a little innovation. You could also make a meal for two with several of the appetizers, especially their fries and wings. Make no mistake though, you come here for the pizza, and it's than thin-crusted crunchy kind with just the right amount of char. Wash it down with a local micro-brew, or wine. About the only flaw to pitch is the lack of draft beer. The midwest is starting to produce some notable breweries, and I would hope Pitch eventually realizes that craft beer and craft pizza go hand in glove. I've been to Omaha half a dozen times and Pitch is always a must.
(5)Beth C.
I come here every time I visit Omaha. It's a great date spot. I love the Shrooms pizza with the thyme cream. God yes. I am fortunate to live in NYC aka a foodie's paradise. It makes me so happy to see places like this in Omaha, and I hope the food scene there continues to grow. I've tried most of the pies and salads and they have all been great. Skip the goat cheese peppadews as they are served cold and are underwhelming. Definitely go on Sunday night! If you are a true wine lover, you can get an extremely nice bottle of wine for half price. That is a huge draw. Definitely come at an off time. It can get very very full at peak times and after events, such as Creighton games. I was adamant about introducing a few friends to Pitch one night for dinner. We were quoted a 40 minute wait, and they seated us after 90 minutes with no apology or gesture to recognize it :-/ Instead, as they seated us, they told us the pizza will be worth it. I think they maybe just didn't realize the amount time they had quoted us. (I recommend the FOH to really make use of the Opentable waitlist feature to avoid this) I was a bit embarrassed to keep my guests waiting that long, but at least the food was very good as I knew it would be. All in all I do recommend! Great pizza, great wine list, friendly staff. Thank you!
(4)Moira R.
Pitch is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha and I love taking out-of-town guests here. I have never had a bad meal! Their pizzas are all delicious but my favorite would have to be the Marsala. The combination of figs, arugula, goat cheese, pears, and truffle oil is so unique and so incredibly delicious! I also love their truffle fries and their wings - their wings are some of the best I have had. Their burger is also great and has a lot of high quality options you can add to it. Their mixed green salad is also one of my favorite salads. The sweet onion vinaigrette is amazing!
(5)Andrew B.
I'd give it 0 stars if I could. The food is sub-par, the building was freezing, the wine was skunked, and I came away with the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had. Avoid this place at all costs.
(1)Kelsey B.
This is one of the best restaurants in Omaha! My friends and I almost always get together here at least once per week to eat and have drinks. The ambiance and the trendy/intimate/modern atmosphere is wonderful (my friends and I have discussed on many occasions how we want to design our future homes/kitchens like the interior of Pitch!). This would be a perfect place for a date-night as well. :) The menu is out of this world! I have never had anything here I didn't like! I mean, I don't even like meatballs that much - Pitch made me like them again (but only theirs!). I feel like I've tried almost all of the pizzas at one point, all of which are incredible. The brussels sprouts appetizer, truffle fries, everything. Try it all! For drinks, the wine menu is excellent and they usually have some sort of drink special.. Last time I was there, they had a lychee and pomegranate martini - YUM! I've also heard the tiramisu is incredible - Definitely trying that next time!
(5)Suzanne L.
After visiting Boston and being introduced to truffle fries I was excited to visit Pitch to have their burger on the brioche bun (something I came to appreciate during a visit to Hershey PA) and the fries. So right away my senses were assaulted by the noise level (I have 3 young kids at home...the last thing I need during a meal is a decibel level greater than that which I am subjected to on a daily basis there during mealtime)! So on to the appetizers. The calamari was chewy like say....gristle. Onion rings were ok minus the one that was a peeling. Next, the much anticipated burger and truffle fries. About 3 bites into my burger I bit down on something as hard as a bone. Fluke?? Nope my sister also found some foreign nastiness in hers. Both hard stuff like bone and more gristle type yuck. I ordered mine medium well and it was pink in the center. Oh and the bun was burnt! Also, several times (like at least 4) people (all employees of Pitch) ran into the empty chairs at our table which was super loud and annoying. No one even really bothered to say "sorry bout that". We also got a couple pizzas...they were just ok. The chicken on the pesto one was dry and rubbery. Good flavor overall though. As far as the service goes...our waitress was "a bit out to lunch" if u get my drift. She was rather apathetic and seemed off in some way hard to describe. Oh and the fries too were just ok. Not worth going out of my way for and certainly not worth a return visit here. Lastly, parking was kind of a pain.
(1)Connie S.
Each of the six out-of-town guests I have taken to Pitch left hoping to return. The trendy atmosphere buzzes (not a quiet place for conversation). Service is fast and friendly. From large interesting salads, to brussels sprouts, to wings, to burgers, to perfect crust pizzas the food is unique, wholesome, and delicious. Reservations on popular evenings insure a table.
(5)G F.
Every thing was great we split two apps shared a entree salad and pizza all items were very good our Server was spot on. Cool vibe to the place. I do have some small things that bugged me and this could just be me but the general manager Was helping bus tables ( good job way to support you staff) and clearing the glasses by putting his fingers in the dirty glasses ( just a pet peeve of mine). Music was a little on the loud side (again just a me thing). Best meal I've had visiting Omaha. Keep up the good work!
(5)Bree M.
I don't like coal-fired pizza but the meatballs are really tasty and I've had good luck with some of the salads (though they are too big for one person) and entrees. The food and wine is a little expensive but tolerable. The music is WAY too loud so everyone is yelling and it gets ridiculous. I asked the waitress if everyone complains about the music and she said "all the time". Why don't they lower it then?! Annoying. Some of the waitstaff is overly talkative and obtrusive.
(3)Aaron G.
This place was phenomenal. Friendly staff, great wine, and great food. I was there for a company dinner so got to try a ton of different appetizers. All of them were good, but the only things that really stood out were the meatballs and margarita pizza.
(4)Kathy R.
Came here on a very busy Saturday night. We were a party of three, arrived at 6:15 waited 75 minutes for a table. We were told when we arrived that the restaurant doesn't give estimations of when a table would be ready and that it was against their policy to do so. Could that be so you don't leave if the wait is extremely long????! We were told by a not-so-nice hostess that there were only a few tables ahead of us so I surely didn't expect to wait as long as we did. Pizza and salads are good and the restaurant is nice, but loud, inside. I understand that you can't even make a reservation for a party less than four which seems quite unfair when it takes the same amount of space as a 4-top. I'm not sure I'll dine here again -- if this restaurant was in a bigger city with more food options, they would surely have changed their reservation policy by now.
(2)Katie C.
I had lunch at Pitch last week with my work team. We were seated quickly and given water immediately, but it took awhile for our server to come and greet is and also tool about 20 minutes to have our order taken. But, once we had our food I was in heaven! We shared a chopped salad which was massive, fresh, and wonderful. We also shared the truffle fries as an appetizer and they arrived hot and crispy and were the perfect artery-clogging companion to the salad. For the main course, we shared a Thai Pizza and the Mia. I loved the crust; chewy, hot, and crispy all at the same time. Thai wash favorite. The chili spice balanced well with the veggies, but I will say I would have preferred the carrots cut a different way. Thick cooked medallions on a pizza made for kind of a strange texture. When it came time to pay, we also had to wait a bit. We didn't have separate checks, so I'm not sure why it took so long. Overall I really loved the food and the space is beautiful. I will definitely be back!
(4)Ruth B.
So far I've eaten here 3 times, but it is quickly becoming a favorite. I usually go for the Margherita Pizza, which is great. I've also tasted a few other pizzas and they were all good. Recently went for a special occasion and had the surf n turf. The steak was wonderful, melt in your mouth. The lobster was tasty, but the serving size was a bit small. The sweet potato fries were good, but I think regular veggies would better compliment the meal. The brussel sprout and warm olive appetizer is a must have. The atmosphere is great, very comfortable and great for meeting friends or a romantic date. Only draw back is that if you order a coke it comes in a can (I enjoy a fountain soda when I eat out). But, the ice tea is great, so that's a good choice. Get on over and give Pitch a try. Great food, good prices, and great atmosphere.
(4)Ashley B.
Went on a Tuesday afternoon and ordered the Mia pizza with a bottle of Pitch Black wine. Enjoyed both together. Also tried the meatball sliders as an appetizer and those were just scrumptious. Love the décor inside and the music they play is just perfect. Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely return to enjoy their half price wine special and try some more apps!!
(4)Meg P.
Stopped here on a trip from Colorado to Ohio and loved it! The pizza was delicious! At first we thought it may not have been enough for two people but it was a perfect portion. If we weren't driving I would have tried some of the local brews. I also have to give a shout-out to whoever created their playlist, super hipster-y but it was as if they had stolen my itunes playlist right out of my ipod! Love it!
(4)M M.
Anna, the server, was fantastic, knowledgable, and accommodating. We enjoyed her. Most of the food (the Marsala pizza, truffle fries, and weekly burger) were wonderful. However, we did not enjoy the Weekly Goat Cheese and Fennel Sausage Pizza or Lobster Mac-and-Cheese. We would have been fine with this but when we mentioned it to our server the owner, Dean, was absolutely unprofessional. He was aggressive in his questioning and made us feel as if we were only complaining to remove the food from the bill. It was embarrassing and unprofessional in our opinion. We hope others have a much better experience than we did. Unfortunately, we will not be back.
(1)Jessica A.
The pizza here is really delicious - crispy smoky crust, nicely chosen pizza types and nice wines. We loved the salad and appetizers but the best part was the friendly staff. Really felt welcome here and on a cold day it really got the spot.
(5)Meghan K.
I went in the afternoon and mentioned to my server how I needed to come back in the evening sometime so I could try the duck. She asked the chef if he would be willing to make it for me for lunch and fortunately he went out of his way and made it for me. It was amazing! I also have to recommend the truffle fries and brussel sprouts. I will warn that the evenings on weekends are VERY busy so don't be upset if there is a long wait without a reservation. If you can, sit in Nancy's section. She was very personable and helpful.
(5)Taylor J.
We had the meatballs as our appetizer, they were large and delicious! Then for pizza we had the basil pesto chicken with tomatoes and it was awesome!! My drink of the night was called the "Sure Thing" and it was great, refreshing with a jalapeño hot twist In the after taste. The service was fast and friendly, only complaint was that it was extremely hot inside the building, we just wished they had opened up the door to get a breeze in.
(5)Josh R.
We've been here a couple times. I've had fries, beer, and pizza. All very good. Really liked the beer selection. To me, the pizza was good, but not great. Even though it's good, it is almost too busy to be worth it on a Friday or Saturday evening.
(4)Claire W.
Came here last night with a group of 4. We were told there'd be an hour wait at 6:10 - not a problem, we were expecting that on a Friday. We hung out in the vestibule and had drinks while we were waiting to be seated.... for two and a half hours. The hostess was really apologetic and said that they had simply over-reserved, but we were obviously disappointed that the wait was so long. Dozens of patrons came in and immediately left after being quoted couple-of-hour wait times, and several groups left after waiting too long. I don't know if they need to adjust how many tables they reserve or what happened there, but even though the service was outstanding and my food was delicious, I don't know if I'd ever try to walk in again.
(4)E. M.
Great place for pizza and pasta! I had the Scampi Rigatoni and I was not disappointed. Love the atmosphere and staff is friendly too.
(5)Maddy G.
So glad a place like this exists in Omaha! Now only if they did gluten-free crust. Had a wonderful time with my whole family here. Liked the Bianca and Mia pies. Had a really great bottle of merlot and plate of cheeses, figs, prosciutto etc. Very fun, social neighborhood place. Great service.
(5)Tara J.
The pizza is phenomenal and I appreciate that they offer gluten free options. The place is super packed usually, which means it can be noisy and take a while to get a table, but you really can't fault a place for being popular. Also, try the brussel sprouts!
(5)Jeff P.
First off, get a reservation. We arrived at 5:30 with no reservation and had to wait. Not a long wait and it was certainly worth it. Interesting food choices on the menu. My kind of place. A chance to eat things I can't make at home. Everything we ate was delicious and Pitch has certainly earned being on the top 100 best restaurants.
(5)Jack H.
Today I stopped by for a quick lunch alone, sitting at the bar. Ordered the meatballs and the chopped salad. Six big beautiful meatballs showed up, with a flavorful red sauce redolent of basil and romano. Very nice. The chopped salad was generous: mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, Italian peppers, artichokes, and goat cheese, in a basil-pesto aioli. Bonus points for the music, Gang of Four, in the bar.
(4)Dave N.
Food quality: Always beyond expectations. Food presentation: Beautiful. I find myself turning my head to see what others ordered. Favorite menu item: Margarita pizza with pepperoni. Service: Always above and beyond. Environment: Beautiful lighting, layout and materials. The community tables are fun. Other comments: Always impressed with every aspect of Pitch. Pitch is a client of my company, but I like them even more knowing how passionate they are about their food quality and service. They're always thinking of how to provide a great experience. I highly recommend them.
(5)Allison S.
Amazing service, great food, fun atmosphere, yummy drinks, a good wine selection... The list of awesome things about this place is a mile long! Best pizza I've EVER had too! It's a must try...
(5)Bob S.
This is a really, really good place. Phone ahead for seats if you can. Chicken pesto pizza, spicy wings and a traditional pepperoni for the kids. There was not a bite left. The house made sangria tasted like Summer. Service was great. We went on a Monday at 5pm so not a real challenging time BUT the place looked well run both up front and in back.
(4)Kate H.
Pitch could be a trendy pizza shop in any of America's biggest food cities. The wine selection is very good. The food is fantastic. They cure all their own charcuterie. And the pizza is nearly as good as the wood oven pizzerias of Napoli. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. I was shocked at how busy they were for a Sunday night, but it really added to the ambiance. I probably could do without the TVs playing Sunday night football I'm the background. We ordered two bottles of the Travaglini, a tiny wine region north of the Piedmont, which paired excellently with the food. However, the waiter admitted he knew nothing about the wine -- maybe a little wine education is in order for the staff, considering the extensive list. The meatballs and charcuterie plate were both excellent starters, but the calamari could use a little seasoning. The table's favorite pizza was definitely the bianco. This place is really solid; I will certainly come again on future visits to Omaha.
(4)David S.
What a great place. Not only do they seat you on community style tables so you can talk to other people, but the food is absolutely delicious. Very well done and a place I would visit again and again.
(5)Katelyn K.
Best food I've had since moving to Omaha. My husband and I shared mushroom pizza and the meatballs appetizer. They were amazing! BUT- the most impressive part was the sangria.. So good! The only reason I'm giving them a 4 star is we waited for a hour and half for a table of 4 when they told us it would be about 40 minutes. So you need to make reservations.
(4)Adrian W.
I don't eat pizza often which is one of the reasons I enjoy this place. While the pizza is always delicious, i.e the Mia, Bianca and the Filet Pie (which was outstanding as a special and should be on the menu!), the rest of their menu is pretty spectacular as well. I won't lie, there are some things I just don't like that others seem to enjoy, like the new lobster risotto. You should check out the new duck entree and if they ever have sea-bass as a special, the chef cooks it beautifully. As my friend Anthony put it, even the potatoes taste like meat. Incredible. And try the tiramisu. Seriously.
(4)Jason G.
Good pizza. The first thing that came to mind was the word trendy. It's family style seating so you might be eating with strangers. Very friendly staff.
(4)Nick E.
Started off with waiter pouring beer 50-50 foam to beer ratio. Somehow as people dwindled out, service time increased by few orders of magnitude. The manager was very accommodating after our waitress strayed off and forgot about us. This is trying to be a Punch Pizza, but marked up 50%. Confused why this was considered a destination restaurant. If this is Omaha fine dining then count me out.
(1)Danny M.
Pizzas are unique and great. Thin crust loaded with great toppings. Easy to share amongst a large group. Great beer selection too.
(4)Crystal E.
For all hype I was expecting more. My husband and I have eaten here twice and found the whole experience rather middle of the road. The first time we came out we were in Dundee and decided to pop in on a whim. The restaurant was full and they seated us at a bar table by the front window, which was an excellent spot. The look and feel of the restaurant is clean and modern and from where we sat we could see the grill and pizza oven if we turned around and could people watch out the window. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable even on a busy night they took their time with us. We ordered their Quatro and split it finding the cheeses just okay. The crust was nice and chewy but everything on top of it was a bit bland. The sauce nor the cheese was very flavorful and we left feeling a little underwhelmed. If you are going to make a cheese pizza, give it some flavor! But we thought maybe we just happened to order the wrong pizza and we would give it a shot another time. Sometime later we stopped in again during lent. The staff was again knowledgeable and polite though it was a little after lunch and the restaurant was not crowded. This time we ordered the Marsala and their specialty of the week, Lobster pizza. The crust as again fantastic and the stuff on top, just okay. The Marsala was unmemorable and the Lobster was disappointing. The lobster meat on top was cooked before they baked the pizza and then baked again resulting in dry rubbery meat. If the review was just on the crust and the service I would give this 4 to 4.5 stars but the toppings leave a lot to be desired as far as gourmet pizza goes.

Friend's burger came out red and bloody. Waitress said it was medium. The manager then berated my friend that she had eaten too much (one bite) to get a new burger. Hipster environment makes sense that service is so horrendous. I would recommend staying away. Not worth it.

Every time I come here, I have to get their Moscow mule and the roasted brussels sprouts. It's tossed with garlic, pancetta and cheese and is delish! It's a close tie or runner-up to j. coco's brussels sprouts with miso and bacon...yum! Their Basil Chicken Pesto has become my recent favorite along with just the basic cheese.

A rounded-up 4-star review. To start, the pizza is very tasty and the ingredients really take flight. This is what "better ingredients" really means. The challenge I had with this pie was quite simply the size. Honestly, I've never paid $25 for a pizza that small. Now, one can't assume pizzas can all be $10 when getting a truly fresh pie, but color me shocked at the pricing/size ratio. This is one of those, "I wish Yelp had 3.5 stars" event. All things considered, though, I would go back, but only if the company was treating dinner. The atmosphere is great and a busy weeknight can make you feel like it's a Friday. Breaking up the work week here will definitely treat stress with ease. Service is decent, but like most places they may struggle at the rush. An immediate draft selection needs improvement as only Stella is on tap. Ugh. Not for pizza! All said though we don't have an in-between rating so the 4 stars wins... but you could use an extra inch on that oh-so-pricey pie!

Truffles fries are amazing! I like to go here to have a drink & really enjoy the atmosphere. The pizza is always great & the service is good too. Downside: the espresso machine was not working & my husband really wanted a cappuccino after dinner.

Best pizza place in omaha. The pizzas are tasty and orginal with moderately priced wine. The atmosphere was cool but the music was a little loud. Our service was pretty good. Would also recommend the salads, I have had the arugula and the chopped salad. Usually it is pretty crowded during weekend evenings so a reservation is often important

Absolutely amazing place. From the food to the drinks to the customer service. My husband and I are moving out of state but we had to come to pitch to have their housemade parpadelle pasta one last time and their buffalo chicken pizza. Unfortunately the buffalo chicken pizza was their weekly pizza and wasn't available when we went but Dean was amazing when we called and said that they could do it for us. We got there at happy hour and had the whole place to ourselves. We leisurely had the truffle fries (best fries of my life!) and a couple drinks. When we received our food, everything looked perfect. The housemade parpadelle tasted FANTASTIC! The buffalo chicken pizza, however, was definitely not what we remembered. We sent it back which is something we HATE to do. We're totally not those people! The manager at the time came over and was so awesome and told us about their process of different weekly pizzas and how they're made differently week to week. The people here are great as is the food! They were so accommodating. I'm so sad we're leaving! Can't wait to come back in when we come to town! Bye bye Pitch!

This place is now my favorite pizzeria in Omaha. I went there for lunch and ordered the truffle fries and Tres Peps pizza. My friend and I absolutely LOVED the fries! The pizza was great---crispy crust with a nice kick from the peppers. I love the decor/vibe of the place and I will definitely return.
(5)Heather B.
Just realized my first 3 Yelp reviews were all 2 stars so decided I was well overdue to stop anyone form thinking I'm the negative nelly of Yelp. So here it is- one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. Pitch has become a Dundee staple and a go-to place where I take visitors from out of town. Their main fare consists of thin (my favorite) crust pizzas with interesting and fresh- often local- ingredients such as fennel sausage, cage free eggs and arugula. But- they also have the surprising entrees like truffle Mac, steak and a variety of sandwiches. Great wine collection for any palate- nice craft cocktails- and nice selection of beer. Have been here many times and the service is always great. Not to mention that the owner- one of the founders of Godfathers- is often seen in the restaurant helping in the kitchen and bar. Two considerations for any newcomers. 1. Very lively and noisy so if you're looking to have a deep conversation this might not be the place. 2. One of the only places in Omaha with a consistent wait. I suggest making a reservation.

I try to rate based off what I think the restaurant is trying to achieve, and I'll give 5 stars to a cheap pizza joint if I leave there feeling like I got exactly what I was expecting and a little more. After eating at pitch, I didn't walk away feeling like I got what they project themselves as. And I had the feeling like I wouldn't want to come back. All the food tasted ok, but nothing was really that exceptional. The food presentation was lackluster and showed signs of fatigue. Service was slow and bored. It's all very unfortunate. I remember being excited about this restaurant when it first opened up...
(2)Sasha F.
I would have given this place a 5 stars if it wasn't for my last visit. My family and I have been frequent visitors to Pitch ever since it opened. The pizza is so good, actually everything there is really great. My daughter has a milk allergy, so for me what made Pitch exceptional was the fact that they always accommodated her by creating a smaller pizza for her with no cheese. She's 7 (age 4 when we started going there), so giving her an entire pizza to herself would be too much, so I always really appreciated Pitch for making it enjoyable experience for all of us! They would often even ask her what shape she would like - she always chose the heart. Our last visit to Pitch, two nights ago, we were told that they were not going to be able to create a special order for my daughter. Being that we have been there likely over 15 times and have always had this special order created for us, my family and I were very disappointed and no longer felt like a valued customer. Instead she had a regular sized pizza to herself. Great that she could eat something without milk, but very disappointed that we were not treated in the way we had always been before. I hate to be the person having to request special orders, but my daughter's allergy is something out of my control. I don't expect people to make special orders if they can't or don't do it (I'll go to restaurants that have no problem doing it and that's fine), but when you've always done it and then decide "nope, we no longer do special things for valued customers," then I no longer see it as a place that appreciates my business. Customer service is something I value greatly. Also, the beans have been bland the last few times I've been there. In closing, pizza is great, but not a place to go if you like feeling like a "regular."

As an update to our previous review from 4/6/2013. We were contacted by someone at Pitch after our initial review was posted. We were put in contact with the VP, Dean, who personally called me to apologize about our experience and invited us to come back and give it another shot. We decided to try again, as our first experience was all very positive up until the last five minutes. We went again on a Friday evening, waited a few minutes with a cocktail and got a seat up at the bar. Dean was there and introdued himself to us.and sent us a bottle of wine. The spot that we had at the bar was awesome. We were more towards the wall, so it was a bit more private. The bartenders and cocktail server were all very personable. We had some specialty cocktails that were great and something unique that we hadn't had anywhere else. Mine had a hint of cilantro, which made it very cool and refreshing, especially for a summer evening. We started off with the truffle fries and wedge salad that we had had previously. They didn't disappoint. We decided to share the scampi rigatoni and branch away from the pizza. It was amazing. The couple next to us even commented on how they were jealous of our ordering. The menu had just been updated and there were several items that sounded delicious. In the future, we'd probably make our way through the non-pizza menu because we were seemingly more impressed with those dishes overall on both of our visits. Our second experience ended better than our first and we will definitely be back. We had a conversation with the owner this time and my fiance had complimented the steak dinner that we had on our first visit. We were informed that Pitch actually cut their steaks to order, something that we didn't know previously. In sitting at the bar and chatting with the people next to us, we realized that they had just purchased the house directly across from us in the neigborhood, so we felt even more connected to our new community. Pitch is a Dundee restaurant that can serve a variety of purposes, whether you're looking for drinks and apps, a casual dinner, or even a fancy night out. We know that not every experience is always perfect and we appreciate that Pitch reached out to us and corrected the situation. We're excited to put Pitch back into our Dundee restaurant rotation.

Tried this place last night and was blown away! They have an expansive wine menu, and a large selection of menu items. I tried the shrimp pizza, it was a weekly special pizza, and it was fantastic!!! I have to say that the buffalo wings were my personal favorite. Went with a rosemary sauce that was unique and delicious!!
(5)Chester V.
Solid place. The service staff could use more direction on their work attire as they look ratchet and disheveled. Our server was not trained well or knowledgable about the menu, nice but nice gets you base points when working in a service industry. Don't think this place would thrive in most other places around Omaha. They are nestled in the perfect spot.
(3)Erin F.
My fiance and I ate here while visiting the Omaha area apartment hunting and we absolutely LOVED it. The brussels sprout appetizer is amazing (we were able to take off the bacon to make it veggie friendly) and the pear and arugula pizza was to die for. The atmosphere was also wonderful and despite being crowded we were never rushed to leave.
(4)Tim Q.
First time I am writing a review on any restaurant. I truly believe that service and food quality to eventually take down a restaurant especially in a city like Omaha where a new restaurant pops up every week and their is a large selection of top quality places to eat. So here I go: Pro's: Environment- Fun, Hip and inviting except for the music. Had a hard time having a conversation with people that came with us. Drinks - Really good even for the price. Pizza: Very good but you can get as good or better pizza other places Calamari - very good Con's: Servers- She explained the Watermelon salad to be nothing close to what actually came out on the plate. Service - After we complained about the salad which I'll explain below in food quality, the manager came over and said that the salad is like that because "local" people prefer it that way. WHAT? If someone isn't happy, just take it off. The salad was $15 and it was watermelon, goat cheese, arugula, and a vinaigrette. Im sure they had enough margin in this salad to take it off if someone didn't like it. Food Quality: Mac and Cheese- The pancetta wasn't even good through so you were chewing on uncooked fat. Watermelon salad - 3 small pieces of watermelon that had the rine still on it. Yes, the while part of the watermelon and the "locals" like this. One small piece of goat cheese, a small pile of arugula and a vinaigrette. Very disappointed Pizza and drinks were great. This is the second time we have tried Pitch. First time the service was also poor when we brought 10 people in but it was right after opening so I thought we would give it another chance. I wouldn't recommend it. Very disappointed from poor service.

Went for lunch with my boyfriend around 3pm (happy hour 3-6) the meatball appetizer Was amazing and filling for only $5! Yumm!
(4)Ashley H.
NEVER again! So, 12 of us went for a b-day. We ordered $800 in food & drinks. Willy came to us & said: "Can you wrap it up...I have some 'resies' (reservations) waiting. I'm gonna need your table." We were actually finishing our drinks & heading elsewhere, maybe contemplating one more drink. A female at out table said, "Sure, if you want to pay our bill we will get out of here a lot quicker"...not knowing who he was. Willy: "YEAH, that's how I became so successful, I just give sh!t away! I'm gonna need you to get moving" We were stunned! Wow, he's pompous! Plenty of other classier pizza joint owners, & w/ better food! One star for our good server.
(1)Patrick E.
The manager and hostess were so mean. We have spent hundreds of dollars at this place over the past few months and to be treated with such disrespect is deplorable!!
(1)Katie F.
The Mac and chesse is the bomb and same with the shrooms pizza. I will admit my soup was not hot but was still very tasty. Some of the best service I have ever had in a restaurant. I will definately be back.
(5)Mark G.
Fun place, great atmosphere, great location. Raises the bar for Omaha in the causal chic category. Starting with the Prosciutto & Arugula salad - the presentation of which will make you think differently about salads, to the meatballs, to the Truffle Fries everything is thoughtful in terms of pairing of ingredients and presentation style. Pizzas are made and I see that they are continuing to branch out and try new combinations to challenge the imagination. Crust is evenly cooked compared to other oven-fired pizzas in town. Sauce tastes naturally sweet, but not over done. The ingredients are fresh and as I said, the combinations continue to be exciting. We are working down the list of all possible pizzas and combinations, but as mainstays would recommend the MarGherita:, Mia, Meatball pie and Shrooms pizzas. Wine selection is pretty good and diverse. Wish they had more beer selections on tap.
(5)Mike H.
Unbelievable! Visiting buddies in Omaha and this spot was suggested and then became a quest as parking is just a bit of a challenge. Wow was it worth the struggle. No pizza was ordered but the table saw a burger & fries, spaghetti & meat balls and a prosciutto & arugula salad with grilled chicken on the side. Mine was the Prosciutto & Arugula salad and it was amazing. Now if you know me you would think I'm not the salad eating type other than a typical iceberg or caesar salad. Well I'm finding salads to be very "delightful". This salad had an amazing balsamic vinaigrette dressing with apples and walnuts and some Italian cheese I can't remember or pronounce. What blew me away was the presentation. The prosciutto was formed into a cylindrical container to hold the salad with the chicken on the side. Amazing presentation. Amazing taste. Grilled chicken was season and tasty as well. I had a few of the truffle fires, good not spectacular. The meatball portion next to me was too much for the orderer so I tried a few bites. The BEST meatballs I've ever tasted. Am looking for a reason to visit Omaha again so I can try the pizza.
(4)Mark E.
Hit or miss. The mac-and-cheese was a "hit"; the pizzas are more of a "miss." The salads are over dressed. Every time I dine here I want to love it but leave merely liking it. The owners need to step it up a notch and not be content with just being "good" in Omaha.
(3)Alisa T.
This review is long overdue. I love Pitch - it is my favorite place to eat in Omaha. I love sitting at the bar here, the bartender Nick is great. On Mondays and Tuesdays you can get a pizza and a bottle of wine for $30 which is great, and if you don't finish your bottle you can take the rest home! The food is always delicious, everything is fresh. I love their dinner specials. I will miss Pitch.
(5)Dustin S.
I've tried the gluten free pizza twice now. Both times the crust has been doughy.
(2)Monica C.
Fun place to get together with friends and share a pizza and some wine! I don't know if they have that special anymore but I think on Tuesdays or Thursdays they have a wine and pie deal for like $25! Can't beat that! Not a pizza person? The meatballs and the tagliatelle pasta are amazing!
(4)Christine B.
Finally...I made it to Pitch. Five ladies, two apps, two salads, two pizzas, two bottles + two glasses of wine - $123 before tax. Here's the sitch - the olive bowl was delish. Fresh minced garlic and rosemary on olives made a great starter and a definite must-order. Both the beet salad and arugula salads were very good and I especially liked the presentation of the arugula salad (all wrapped up in a long strip of prosciutto). The salads are large and perfect to share. We were all very pleased with the bianco verde and veggie pizzas and would definitely order both again. The crust was thin and not over bready and both pizzas had a perfect balance of toppings. Also, I really appreciate not being gouged for a bottle of wine. You can get a decent bottle in the low $20 range. Nice. If it's any indication, every leaf, olive, crumb, morsel and spot of wine was devoured. The service was so-so and I wish they would've seated us at a larger table, rather than squeeze five of us in the center four-top. Nonetheless, I'd give it another go.

Pitch is the kind of place that makes me forget I am stuck in Nebraska. Love the design and lighting, love the food, love the music (heard them play songs from my favorite band at least three times when I was there). I went here for lunch with a colleague. We had a cute server, really liked her jewelry. Anyhoo, it was my first time there, and she was really patient in explaining the menu and patient as we decided to tailor a pizza. The pizza came out pretty quickly and was great. The crust wasn't too thick. It and there was a nice chicken to cheese to added veggies ratio. We shared one pizza and I think it was just the right amount. Later in the meal, another server person (manager?) at some point came by our table and noticed some smutz on our water carafe and took it away to get a clean one. But, she never came back with one (she seemed busy). We had sodas and water, so it was fine. The summertime lunch crowd seemed to be a mix of older neighborhood folks and 20s/30s. It was lively, but not so loud that you couldn't hear what people were saying. Will definitely go again--the salads looked pretty good.
(5)Cassie Z.
I adore Pitch. It is so beautiful and delicious. First of all, they had my favorite beer, Blonde Fatale, which made me fall in love with the place off the bat. The ambiance was amazing and the staff was welcoming and attentive. We sat at a table near the front facing the street and they opened the garage door thingy and it was AWESOME...like, can we install one of those things in my apartment? My fiance and I started off with the mixed appetizer of brussels sprouts and truffle fries. They were both flavorful and super tasty. We ordered the comte mac n cheese and the bianco verde pizza. The comte mac n cheese was the best mac n cheese I have ever had. The truffle flavor and bits of pancetta made the dish. We also had the bianco verde pizza. It was delicious and we especially liked the arugula on top, as it reminded us of our trip to San Francisco. To finish off the night we had the chocolate cake with chocolate ganche. Perfect end to omyum night. Is going back for lunch tomorrow too early??
(5)Stephen S.
Went to Pitch Pizza and it was great!! The only problem I had was the music was way too loud. The waiter we had was awesome. It was my wife and I's first time so he explained the menu to both of us. I would recommend Pitch to anyone. Steve in Bellevue
(5)Leigh B.
We were in town for CWS, hot and hungry and with 2 small kids in tow. Stumbled upon Pitch thanks to Foursquare and WOWZA. They open this place in Charlotte and we'll be regulars. Decor is fabulous, edgy but not overkill. We were treated as guests, family, not obvious out-of-towners. Seating is at shared tables, which the kids thought was weird but which led to a fun conversation about baseball. The food? Simply amazing. I had the Thai pizza which was spicy but not painful, ate the whole thing. No draft beer but the bartender kindly helped create a snakebite for me anyway. Talk about service. My husband had the veggie pizza and he couldn't eat it fast enough. Kids had huge portions and didn't complain once. Service was friendly, fast, efficient. The owner stopped by to chat which I love. This place is a jewel, Omaha. Don't miss out!
(5)Corey B.
Im a frequent visitor and have never had anything prepared poorly or taste bad at Pitch. The only thing that sucks about the place sometimes is the wait to get a table. Get their meat ball appetizers and i prefer either the Mia (sausage and pepperoni) or the Tres Peps (very spicy pepperoni with yellow and halapeno peppers). Their house wine the pitch black is very good too.
(5)J L.
5 stars for the ambience and service 4 stars for the crust 4 stars for the truffle fries 1 star for the Thai pie. very disappointed with the topping, the sauce was flavorful but not much of it. The chicken didn't have any flavor at all. They should skip the carrot slices on this pizza and chop up the cilantro a little bit instead of leaving the whole stems of cilantro on the pie. I would go back to try other toppings because I loved the crust and the vibe here. It reminds me a lot of Pizza Luce in the Twin Cities area.
(3)Michele L.
Yum and love the atmosphere! Nice little bar if you have to go alone!had the Marsala pizza, gluten free! Next time will try a salad!
(4)Josh H.
The atmosphere is fun, seems almost like a hipster eatery but that's pretty typical for Dundee. So I stopped in for lunch today and sat at the bar, my server was quite attentive and had big genuine smile on her face the whole time.. I ordered the house salad which was delicious and huge-- love the gorgonzola beans.. With my salad I had a personal pepperoni pizza-- and it was delicious as well. The people sitting beside me ordered the wings and they looked so good, I'll be ordering those next time! Only downside was the price, for what I had above plus an ice tea my total before tip was $19.67 which is pretty steep for lunch..
(4)Craig B.
Our first visit to Pitch was on Valentine's Day. Having heard quite a bit about this place, we had to check it out. Calling ahead, we found out that the place was booked solid that night but that there might be an opportunity for a table later in the evening so we showed up around 9pm and found a great place at the bar. The bartenders were very engaging and quick with our drinks. The food was very good and the atmosphere was upscale and energetic. We will definitely be back. Many thanks!
(5)Chris D.
I'd give it a 2 1/2 stars if I could. Went on a weeknight and the place was very crowded. In addition to the normal crowd it appeared the mayor was hosting a party as well. There happened to be 2 seats at the bar, so we squeezed in. The bartender was quick to get our drinks and take our order. I ordered the Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Walnuts, which was their soup of the day. The soup was fantastic...great flavor, creamy and rich, and I liked the small chunks of walnut sprinkled on top. Really came together with the soup! We ordered The Mia pizza which had fennel sausage and pepperoni. We ordered pepperoni on only half of it. To our surprise our pizza came out 10 minutes after we ordered it...that seemed odd. I expect wood fired pizza to be somewhat crispy...our pizza was not crispy at all. The crust seemed soaked in grease...even the half without the pepperoni. The pizza was crunchier near the end crust, but only very near the end of the crust! I do like fennel, however there was so much fennel on the sausage it really overpowered the taste of everything else on the pizza. The service was great and I really enjoyed the soup....just not sure I'll go back...was too greasy for me and I like a little crunch on wood-fired pizza.
(3)Michaela K.
NOT IMPRESSED. I could have cooked better meatballs. We had the pizza of the week which was some time of shrimp pizza that was very bland. And the truffle fries were okay, but nothing to rave about. Overall, we won't be back.
(1)Joe J.
Came here with my brother, his wife, and her parents. I cannot wait to go back. I can't remember the three pizzas we all shared, but they were excellent. I do remember them all being quite unique though. The interior was very aesthetically pleasing and the atmosphere was kind of loud, but not overly noisy. The price of the food was kind of expensive, but to be honest, it was worth every penny. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area.
(5)Anna O.
I love this place but it is very expensive. And usually always packed with people. But still definitely worth going to. The pizza is very good and the staff are usually great.
(3)Caleb M.
The hambugers and fries were amazing. Great service and food came out fast. Can't wait to go back and try their pasta and pizza.
(5)Kelly G.
My favorite pizza in Omaha. I usually go for traditional combinations, but the Thai Pie and Marsala have changed my pizza religion. I can't branch out from the Arugula salad. It's that delicious. Great atmosphere, great service.
(5)Lee S.
One of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. The meatballs are my favorite. The red sauce is the best I've ever had!

Stopped in tonight around 8:30 with my daughter (father-daughter date before she heads back off to college). I'd heard they had a fellow who makes the sausage and cured meats in-house, and I've been wanting to give that a try. I had only been here once before, shortly after they opened, and walked away thinking, "Hey, not bad, but the prices are a bit steep, and the pizza is no better than what I make at home." I thought maybe the home-grown meats might make a difference. And boy, did it ever. We went for the pepperoni-sausage combo, and ordered a mozzarella, pepperonata and cured meat appetizer. My only complaint about the appetizer was the single slice of fresh mozzarella to go with the other good stuff. When I asked about the seeming paucity of cheese, the server happily wandered off to get us some more. The rest of it consisted of a pile of slightly pickled peppers, made in-house, that was very tasty on the toasted bread that came on the side, along with a number of piles of thin-sliced delectable cured meats, again all made in-house. Not a thing wrong with this appetizer, and certainly worth the ten bucks. The main dish was wonderful from the first bite. Huge, paper-thin slices of pepperoni over a shredded mozzarella and tomato sauce base, with slices of fresh mozzarella and chunks of sausage on top. I have three slices left that'll make me a fine lunch tomorrow. Can't wait for lunch. It was that good. The pizza was still a bit steep at 18 bucks, though, and that's the only reason I withheld that final star. I get the impression I'm paying for ambiance (and maybe the lack of acoustic tile; boy, is it loud in there!), and I'm one of those who couldn't give a rat's pitootey for ambiance when it comes to good pizza. So maybe now Pitch is as good as the pizza I make at home. I'll grudgingly admit it. But it won't be in three months, when the meat guy opens his own shop! Yeee-hawwwww, bring on the pork!
(4)Carolyn H.
My sister and I saw this place a while ago and thought it looked pretty cool. We finally got the chance to go there on a Saturday and we sat down for a late lunch. I ordered the "Open Faced Veggie" sandwich and my sister, who loves basic cheese pizza with no toppings, opted for the 8-inch Margherita pizza. First off, my sandwich was amazingggg. it was super good. I loved the crispy eggplant topped with all the veggies - red, green peppers, zucchini, etc - with the cheese melted right on top. The only con was that I wasn't really sure how to eat it. It's an "open faced" sandwich so there was no piece of bread on top so I couldn't hold it like a regular sandwich. And it's pretty big to attempt to eat it as such. So i decided to cut it with a knife and eat it in pieces. It's pretty sloppy that way, but still good. My sister liked her pizza, but it was just plain - nothing out of the ordinary. Also, I had a side of truffle fries, which I thought came with the meal since our waitress asked if I wanted a side of fries or salad, but it was actually a dollar for the fries (which i"m not mad about, but would've liked to have known that it was an additional cost and didn't come with the meal). The service was nice, casual, and fast. I would definitely come back again and would love to try one of their specialty pizzas.

Original review with photos can be found here: omahapizzareview.com/201… Pitch Coal-Fired Pizzeria is located on Underwood Avenue in the heart of Dundee in Omaha, Nebraska. Started in 2009 by restaurant entrepreneur Willy Theisen, Pitch has quickly become a favorite for many in the Omaha area. Pitch offers many unique menu items such as Calabrese meatballs (a must have starter), fresh green salads, coal-fired burgers and their delishious coal-fired pizzas. This past Sunday, we took a break from the College World Series and made the drive down to beautiful Dundee for dinner. After snagging a parking spot right on Underwood Ave. in front of the restaurant, we entered and were quickly shown to our table. It was early for dinner, but Pitch was already hopping with activity. The restaurant features a full bar, some community seating as well as plenty of seating for couples and larger groups. On weekends you can plan on waiting for quite a while at this popular Dundee eatery. Tonight we decided on a roasted beets salad, the Mia pizza and the special pizza of the night: roasted chicken with house-made pesto. The salad was a delightful combination of fresh greens, red beets, and pieces of roasted butternut squash. It was topped with a red wine vinaigrette (the perfect amount- some restaurants get heavy handed with the dressing) and a few chunks of goat cheese. Speaking of goat cheese, if you love goat cheese (as The Pizza Wife does) then get this salad. It comes with a large triangle of phyllo dough stuffed- and I mean STUFFED- with creamy, tart cheese. The Wife was in heaven. The Mia pizza, which is described on the menu as Willy's favorite, features San Marzano tomato sauce, big chunks of fennel sausage, large slices of pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. All of this is piled on top of their crispy yet chewy and lightly charred thin crust. I found the tomato sauce to be nicely seasoned, sweet and plentiful - which was nice. All too often it seems the sauce is somewhat of an afterthought and used very sparingly. The pizza here had what I would consider to be just the perfect amount. The sausage and the pepperoni were phenomenal. The large chunks of sausage were quite tasty and had the perfect amount of kick for my tastes. It was leaps and bounds above some other places that use prepackaged and precooked sausage pellets. Their sausage is freshly made and full of flavor! The hub cap sized slices of pepperoni where equally tasty and spicy. There were not one, but two layers of cheese on this pie and that's always a winner in my book. One layer below the toppings as well as some nicely melted chunks of fresh mozzarella on top. The special pizza of the night was roasted chicken with house-made pesto, caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and a balsamic reduction. It was certainly one of the better looking pizzas we've ever seen (the table next to ours even added it to their dinner order once they spied it). Unfortunately, we were disappointed in a couple of areas. We felt the pesto was a bit bland and would have benefited from just a smidgen more garlic. Also, the onions weren't our definition of caramelized. They looked like they may have been sauteed before being added, but they didn't have the sweet, caramelly taste of the caramelized onions we've had in the past. On a high note: The Pizza Wife really dug the roasted tomatoes and thought they made the pie. They added a delicious note that complimented the rest of the toppings. Overall we really enjoyed our visit to Pitch Pizzeria and we certainly recommend a visit to our readers. It seems that Willy has yet another winner on his hands with Pitch, and as a recent article in Omaha Magazine states, he has plans to bring the Pitch brand to more cities soon. This wasn't our first night at Pitch and it certainly won't be our last. We've enjoyed everything we've ever ordered here and tonight was no exception. Just be aware that when the place is busy, it can be more 'bar-like' and noisy, which could certainly turn people off if they are expecting a nice quiet meal. The good: tasty and unique pizzas, full bar with great selection of wine The bad: a little bit pricey, noisy room Oven: coal fired brick ovens Crust: thin, crispy yet chewy, nicely charred crust Sauce: nicely seasoned, perfect amount Cheese: above and below the toppings How would you rate Pitch Pizzeria?

Coal fired pizza for my first night in Omaha? I'm down. My sis knows I'm a foodie and so is she so I knew this place would be good. We headed over to this restaurant around 7pm to meet up with a couple of other friends. The restaurant is really nice. Dimly lit with nice large tables. We were lucky to snag a nice round table to fit all of us. (there were 6 of us including my niece) And the bathrooms are really clean, very modern and cool. The menu is large and they have other items besides pizza too, like pastas, soups, and salads. We tried the mixed greens salad which was really yummy actually. The dressing was wonderful. As well as the tomato bisque soup. The soup was flavorful and creamy. Went well with the salad. the pizzas: The first order was the Shrooms pizza. This pie had a generous offering of mushrooms, comes with truffle cheese, oven dried tomatoes and thyme cream. All of these wonderful flavors makes this pizza a sure winner and my sister's favorite pie!! That truffle cheese really gives it that star quality flavor, balanced with the shrooms, cheese, and tomatoes and you got a 5 star pizza right there! The second pie was the complex pepperoni. This one was more for my niece than us, but it was good. I liked their take on the 'ol time classic pepperoni pizza. Our waitress was really great as well. She frequented our table with waters and made sure we were happy with our dishes. I'd love to come here during happy hour for their great deals on drinks AND pizza! I'm glad there's a pizza place I can be satisfied with until I go home to more V-lounge pizza =o)

Pitch is as close to perfect as you can get in a restaurant in my book. Been here a few times and every time is great. The best truffle fries in the world and the Brussel sprouts are so great with the prosciutto and parm. I usually get the Thai pizza with shrimp and chicken, but this time I opted for the meatball pizza because who doesn't like meatballs? It was just as good as the Thai. My wife made her own pizza with fresh mozzarella, basil, whole garlic cloves and Roma tomatoes. They do have kids options as well and well worth the price. Both my kids got spaghetti and meatballs and could barely eat half because it was so big. The beer list is great as well. My wife got the tank 7 smokehouse ale and I had a coke. I wish they had fountain pop here because they change you for each can you drink and I drink a lot during a meal but whatever. It's just one of the quirks that restaurants sometimes have. A place where the food and service speak for themselves and a place that isn't trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to pizza. It's just good and that is why we as humans go out to eat. Good food, good service, awesome atmosphere = value. Keep it up pitch. I am a huge fan and will continue to come by as often as I can.

Nice space, friendly people and very good pizza. Looking forward to going again. Glad we tried the truffle fries as a starter. So good.
(4)Chessie M.
Very cheerful and welcoming host on a recent night made us feel good about our decision to stop in....he found us a spot even without a reservation! A boisterous and happy atmosphere. Professional bartenders and great servers!

Our 6th or 8th visit to Pitch was yesterday and was delightful--again. We decided this is our favorite pizza in Omaha, but not because of the pizza alone. The atmosphere is friendly, they do a great job with appetizers and sides...and the beet salad is reason enough to keep coming back. Shrooms, Marsala, Margherita and Mia are always great, as they were yesterday. We miss NY but get a real sense of a local place with devoted regulars in an identifiable neighborhood. Not unique back home but to us only Pitch in Dundee comes close.

I have nothing negative to say about Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria but my experience didn't leave me wanting more. The truffle fries are a MUST TRY! The pizza was very good but I've had better at Valentinos.

Things I like: -Writing reviews for pretty much every place I've been. -Pizza. -Naughty adult fun-times. Things I don't like: -Writing reviews for places when I can't really decide what to give them (or come up with a clever theme for a review). -Spiced Rum. -Jeremy Renner and all of his movies. I guess I should be pretty favorable towards Pitch. I'm a huge pizza fan, and their version was pretty tasty, though unremarkable. Not as big as I would have hoped for the price, but not exactly highway robbery either. We didn't have any appetizers, so I'm not really qualified to speak on them. The bartender was pretty good, but (like the pizza) unremarkable at the same time. He knew what the astonishingly good Estrella Damm Inedit was (and how to serve it), although he didn't know who helped make it: a little man by the name of Ferran Adria. The restaurant was stunningly loud, but very well decorated and the noise seemed to fit, unpleasant as it may have been. I like the long, high top, bar-like tables that run the length of the middle of the room, and there are a lot of seats at the bar for no bigger than the place is. I guess I really want to knock Pitch down to three stars, but I really can't find enough reasons to do so. I liked the food, I loved the beer, and I was digging the design of the dining room. Perhaps another pizza-night is in order. You know, just to make up my mind.
(4)Matt M.
I still stick with my 5 star review - even if based just on the meatballs/spaghetti & meatballs. Best in town - period.
(5)Drew D.
I have enjoyed everything I've ever eaten at Pitch. The food is very good, if a little over priced. The atmosphere is great, and the service is always friendly. Particularly on weekends, plan on waiting for a table. The Shroom pizza is brilliant, and do not miss the brussels sprouts (even if you've never liked brussels sprouts before). Vegetarian friendly.
(4)Heather M.
I am upgrading my review of Pitch to 4 stars. I went there again about 2 months ago. I had a much better hostess/seating experience and the food is consistently good. The shrooms pizza and truffle fries were great. Service was fast. The only complaint I have is the atmosphere of the restaurant. It feels really cramped. We were seated at a two person high top, I'm not complaining about that because I am glad we got seated alone instead of at a communal table (I find that extraordinarily awkward and uncomfortable, I'd rather take my food to go). I will only eat here when I can get here early, like 4:30 or 5:00pm.

If you like pizza, Brussels sprouts, and sitting next to strangers; you might do a reasonable number of cartwheels and then poop yourself over Pitch Coal-fire Pizzeria. The Brussels sprouts are served gloriously in a little white bowl, dotted with luscious bits of Pancetta and dusted with Parmesan cheese. I wish the bowl was quite a bit bigger, so I could dip my face in it. Sometimes, my mom makes me Brussels sprouts when I visit her on Sundays to discuss String Theory and watch Jersey Shore. And, while her's are certainly tasty, they simply don't compare to those at Pitch. My mom would need to have superpowers or Pitch's recipe guide to make Brussels sprouts that good! The pizza is almost to-die-for. It reminds me of Show-Biz Pizza, at it's pinnacle. I don't want to die. Especially not for a slice of pizza. But, for Pitch's Mushroom Pizza, I'd be okay with going into anaphylactic shock or battling a severe case of the runs. I don't much care for the possibility that I might be sat at a communal table, next to strangers. People generally disgust me, and I'd rather eat my meal without having to listen intently to conversations about the weather or new cell phone apps or teenage pregnancy. My favorite server is Ashley. She is blonde, of medium-height, and has an intoxicating sense of humor. I hope she works there for at least the average amount of time that people work at restaurants. I would definitely recommend Pitch to my friends, so I can sit by them, instead of strangers. I would recommend Pitch to strangers as well. But, i would tell them to go on a different night than me.
(5)Amy O.
Pitch has excellent atmosphere, wonderful pizza and fabulous salads. The sangria is also a must try.
(5)Chris E.
Best pizza in Omaha. All the pies are made with quality ingredients. I like to split a pizza and salad with a friend; it is the perfect portion for two. I hit this place up about once a month and never have been disappointed with the food or service. On my last visit I had pasta...they make the noodles on site. Simply the best pasta I have ever had, give it a try!
(5)Dan K.
Being from NY, the first thing we did was try to find some thin crust style pizza. We tried Dante Pizza and Pitch. Dante was good, but I have to say Pitch is better. The dough had more flavor, having a hint of sourdough. The cheese is higher quality. Service was great and we loved the decor. Pitch is going to be our goto for pizza in the future.
(5)Deborah G.
I liked the atmosphere of the place. We got there in time for happy hour. They had some great specials. We ordered the meatballs which I am not a fan of. The texture and taste was strange. Our Australian wine was a hit. The mushroom pizza was very very delicious. Our service was excellent and the management was very friendly. I am from out of town, but when I return to Omaha I would definitely like to try some more dishes here.

I was skeptical about this place, as sleek decor, happy hours and "gourmet" pizza are three things I never really seek out. However, despite the annoying high tables, cold, uninviting design and our waiters need to yell everything and call us all "dudes", I was somewhat not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. The menu, though mostly boring and totally done to death (and please, lay off the truffle oil!), did have some interesting choices, such as the Marsala; a fig, pear, goat cheese concoction with arugula, which we tried, as well as the classic Margehrita. Both were very nice, but I think the saltiness of the goat cheese was overwhelming and not that complimentary to the pears, which had slightly too much of a bite to them, not to mention my disappointment when I saw that the aforementioned figs came in a puree, of sorts, and not actual figs, which in my opinion, would have been more interesting taste/texture wise. Friends tried a soup du jour, which seemed forgettable, as well as the burger, which got rave reviews from the meat eaters at the table. Another bonus was their beer selection, which had a beer from back home, St Ambroise apricot beer, perfect for summer time living. Very enjoyable, and i was happy to find something like that in Omaha. Overall, I'd say Pitch is just alright. The pizza's fine, the service a little too casual, the decor a little too serious. Fun if you're into that kind of thing.
(3)Megan H.
Liked: ...decor Disliked: ...no free wi-fi--they have it but wont give out the password. wtf? every other restaurant in the neighborhood has it for free. lame. ...no reservations ...I have been there three times, and twice there was a 1 1/2 hour wait and I left. the last time I went when they opened at 4:30 and had a horrible experience. ...just my preference, but I hated the burned flavor of the crust. my pizza also didn't have enough cheese and was extremely dry. I think that's something chefs should notice as the other pizzas ordered had more toppings. ...waitress hovered quite a bit and was too talkative for me. didn't need to hear her rambling opinion about every item on the menu. ...drink prices were crazy ...hate the communal seating. it was a nice experiment but don't go here for a private conversation or intimate evening. ...prosciutto was mega-gross I REALLY wanted to like Pitch. Pizza is my favorite food. But it was just disappointing and I will never be back.
(1)Ajay R.
i like pizza but i don't consider myself a pizza snob. the pizza is solid here; not much flavor in their dough and their cheese is good, but great ingredients on top and comes out hot and yummy. they have successfully brought new york city prices to omaha; pizzas anywhere from $13-18. beer selection excellent. so why only 2 stars? worst collection of desserts i've had in a long time. (and we tried 3) the flan was mehhh, the tiramasu was plain and all i tasted was whipped blandness. and the absolute worst part was the 'creme brulee' It was sunk down into the dish so it was about 2 millimeters tall and it tasted perfect...if you enjoy the taste of crisco. jeepers. worst dessert ever
(2)Mark J.
Fantastic coal fired pizza. Super fresh ingredients. Get the Leonardo.
(4)Amanda S.
Pitch has delicious pizza with lots of gourmet toppings. My personal favorite is the marsala - topped with figs, goat cheese, arugula, pears and truffle oil. I've tried several of the pizzas and they're all very good. It is a little pricey though ... entrees and pizzas hover around $15. I think their pizza and a bottle of wine deal is definitely the way to go - one pizza and a bottle of wine for $25 - perfect for 2 people to share. I think this deal is only on Monday and Tuesday nights after 7pm, but correct me if I'm wrong. I've tried a couple of their deserts here as well, and they are delicious, so save room! The atmosphere is great - really nice ambiance and decent service.

This place is right by my cousins house in Omaha, we all met here on our way driving through the middle of the country to NYC. It was perfect. The neighborhood is awesome (I had no idea it existed) and was super pleased on the atmosphere, people, customer service and the food. The brussel sprouts were YUMMMY and the pizza was fantastic (thin crust/designer pizza style). The beer selection was great as well - and the design of the restaurant was awesome. So all in all, I would definitely come here again and it was an even more amazing experience because i got to do it with all of my wonderful cousins.
(4)Ashley D.
I love this style of pizza - and Pitch serves some delicious topping options. We got one with prosciutto and arugula - absolutely great. Located in Dundee, which is one of my favorite areas of Omaha, this place has a very unique atmosphere. It feels like a wine bar and they have a nice lighting/look going on. The only thing I don't care for is the seating. If they're busy (which they usually are at peak times), you end up sitting at these long family style tables - and you're very close to people you're not with. I'm more of a booth person, so I can converse with my party and not feel obligated to talk to the people next to me because our knees keep touching. I'll definitely go back because I desperately want to try their mushroom pizza - but at a time that's not busy.
(4)K F.
If you are in the Dundee area this is a nice place to eat; not a destination location though. Good service at the bar, tasty meatballs and comfortable decor. Casual and well done.
(3)Brandon M.
I was out and about the other day when my stomach started talking to me...well, yelling at me is more like it. It was simply screaming, "FEED ME"! So being the creature of habit I am, I decided to find and try Pitch, a local pizza joint. The day before I was having a conversation with a hairstylist (cutter?) and she expressed that Pitch had the BEST pizza she had ever eaten. Well, as my friends and family know, I LOVE pizza. So of course I had to try it out for myself and see what the fuss was about. As I walked into Pitch, my first thought was that it's a cool looking place. The design and decor was pretty trendy and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the waitress didn't take too long to get my drink. That alone is a big plus for me. However, one thing I was not impressed with was the "communal dining style". I know the focus should be the food but honestly it was hard to concentrate on the food when I have to hear so much of my neighbors conversation. This is not a place I would go to if I was on a date or wanted any kind of privacy. As I was looking over the menu, I couldn't help but notice that there was not a huge selection. You know the old saying..."Jack of all trades, master of none". So I just figured that they were simply attempting to be the "master" at their specialty. There were some interesting combinations on the pizza menu and some of them sounded really tasty. After scanning the menu for a few minutes I had it narrowed down between the Two Peps and the Mia (remember, creature of habit?). After asking my waitress what she suggested, I went with the Mia. I figured that even though I was very hungry, the small pizza should be big enough for me to get full. Boy, that was a mistake. Granted, I can put away some pizza so perhaps I am not the best judge of what "normal size" is. But, this particular pizza seemed rather small and the amount of toppings was pretty minimal. Nine dollars really is too much for this particular pizza...just saying. As for the taste, the crust was good. It was thin and crispy on the outside with a nice chewiness to it when you took a bite. The sauce/cheese/toppings had decent flavor for what I could taste. However, my taste buds weren't singing when I was done...they were on the verge of falling asleep. Considering that this place came so highly recommended, I was pretty disappointed with the overall product. I feel that I could go to Pizza Hut or Papa John's and get a pizza that is just as good (if not better) and pay the same price but be able to feed a few people and we all get full. I think for now, I will stick with places that are a little closer to home and that have a better price/amount of product ratio.
(2)Erica J.
I went here on a whim with a couple of friends and found a cozy spot with great food. The decor is warm and inviting, and pretty dang European (which I can't help but love). Our service was ideal - there when you need them, concise and to the point, and out of sight when you don't. If you're looking for something different, try the Marsala pizza, with figs, pears, goat cheese, and topped with arugula.... super tasty. The salad we ordered was very good as well.
(5)Pell D.
I was excited to experience some good pizza in Omaha, and I love to go to Dundee. We had a the meatballs as a starter, a Margherita pizza, a side of broccoli rabe, a New Castle Brown Ale, and my wife had glass of red wine. Overall, a nice experience. I enjoyed the crispness of the crust, but I wish it were more firm in the middle. The sides are excellent, and the salads we saw looked excellent as well. We will be going back!
(4)Tom S.
Had heard a lot about Pitch but hadn't tried it. Pizza was good. The add ons like the sausage, onions and especially the mushrooms were great. It did come out a little soggy, probably too many toppings for the thicker crust. If you're looking for a more upscale pizza place this is it. Side note they have their own wine label. I think it's called Pitch Black.. Nice red blend..
(4)Matthew B.
Pizza is good, atmosphere is nice, communal sitting--a bit weird, IMHO. Delicious meatball appetizer, though, and the wait staff is good so I'd give this one a recommendation. Just maybe go on a less-crowded day so you don't have to share your table with a bunch of strangers.
(3)Angela M.
The first fantastic thing about Pitch is that they accept reservations, and you can make them online. I love midtown Omaha, so the Dundee location is perfect. It's open, but cozy, and the décor is eye-catching. When it's busy, it can get noisy, but that just seems to add to the ambiance. I've been to Pitch a few times, and I always have great service. The servers are happy to make food and wine recommendations. Try the roasted brussel sprouts for an appetizer...they're wonderful! Every pizza I've had was awesome. The worst criticism I have is that sometimes the crust can be a little soft when it first comes out. I prefer a very crispy crust. I will definitely go back to Pitch again and again.
(4)B W.
The food is good, not great. Not a big fan of the communal tables, I prefer a bit more separation between myself and the complete strangers to either side. Can get rather loud when the place fills up. Great happy hour deals.
(4)Melissa W.
I really love coal fired pizza so I was really excited when Pitch opened. All in all the pizza was ok and in general, Pitch is just ok... I wish the kinds offer where a little more creative and I wish the sauce was tastier and the crust was chewier. The decor was really modern but warm feeling which is nice... All in all, if you want great coal fired pizza, I hate to say it but try Dante's out West, it's much more flavorful and gives a modern twist to pizza.
(3)Rosalina R.
The hostess that looks liek the mom off There's Something about Mary is a beyotch. She tried her damnedest to get people to not want to eat here. The moment we walked in she acted as if she wasn't interested in seating ANYONE, she was full of snide comments and a bitchy tone in her voice. I tried my damdedest to kill her with kindness, good thign I wasn;t that hungry- but alas she won and we took our names off the list an hour and 45 minutes after we arrived. The male host was great- she needs lessons not only in hosting but on how not to tan yourself to an unrecognizable shade of orange, how not to make your head look like a porcupine with frosted tips, and someone please give her some make up lessons, a member of our party couldnt have put it better- "I was afraid everytime she spoke she was going to fart on my face" Moral of the story is no matter how hip, new or good the food is, get a hostess that won't scare the customers away!
(2)B B.
I joined yelp just to biatch about Pitch. My family has been there twice for lunch. The first time we arrived just after the doors opened and my 4 year old daughter got to hear the manager yelling profanities at the help. That was really sweet!! I was excited to eat some crispy thin crust pizza, which is my favorite, but we received soggy, greasy pizza that took almost an hour to get. I was really hoping for a better experience on our second visit, but alas. We ordered 3 small pizzas and the truffle fries. After waiting about 30 minutes, the waitress informed us that the cook forgot to turn on the fryer, so the fries would be late. Then she brought out 2 pizzas and left. I had to ask where my pizza was and she came back and told us the cook burned it and had to make another. When I finally received my pizza it wasn't even cooked in the center and then we finally received our truffle fries. They were the best part of the meal. I'm giving it two stars just because I love the Dundee location and like the atmosphere. Too bad they can't make a good pizza.
(2)David M.
I can't say I'm a fan. It's pretty hard to screw up pizza this badly, but they manage to do so. The staff was nice, but couldn't make up for the food.
(1)Christopher R.
I HATE PITCH PIZZA! They make the most awesome pizza and it makes me rethink all of what i thought pizza was supposed to be about.. I hate that! So yeah, the host ignored us and I had to interrupt the bartender to ask if we should seat ourselves but this is our second visit and the food has been OUTSTANDING both occasions.Server Drew tonight was not super attentive but when we mentioned it was our 7th wedding anniversary, he delivered us a complimentary chocolate lava cake which was very thoughtful. We ate the Mia Pizza - delish with house made fennel sausage and got the irresistible hand made taggliatelli with bolonegse sauce. The pizza was a little soggy and would have liked a few more minutes in their coal fired oven but so yummy that we ate 1/2 of it before the pasta arrived! If you can overlook some college aged entitled wait staff and just focus on the food, I think you will be pleased.
(4)Christopher M.
Favorite restaurant in Omaha! I consider myself a bit of a pizza connoisseur, and I LOVE the pizza. It is cooked at light speed and tastes delicious!! Love the atmosphere - very upscale and fun!! I would love to open one of these in my hometown!
(5)Liz H.
It's always over crowded and they make you sit at tables with other parties-it can be really awkward. The place itself is cool. The food is all right, I'm vegan, and the veggie pizza wasn't great. At our table, the food came out at really different times, so the people who got theirs first had cold food by the time everyone had food. I don't think that's normal, but still annoying.
(3)Chris S.
The good: the food, the drinks, the service, all excellent. Pitch is definitely a great place to go for a gourmet pizza and a beer, with an upscale atmosphere that would be great for a nice, but casual date night or a small business dinner. I've had several of their pizzas and the comte mac and cheese and never been disappointed. The bad: I'm not a fan of their large group policies. They were up front about them, so I'm not angry or anything, but I think one time was enough. We went with a group of around 20 and had a great time and got great service, but they required a $15/head deposit to hold the reservation. The deposit was refundable if we spent at least $15/person at dinner, which is easily done once you factor in appetizers and drinks, but it's still a policy I'm just not a fan of. In addition, they wouldn't split our check. I know a lot of restaurants have this policy, and I hate it at every single one that does. If we had come in as 5 tables of 4 instead of 1 table of 20, they'd have run 20 credit cards without batting an eye, but because we all sat together I had to run my card for the full amount and then spend my morning chasing folks down who hadn't brought cash with them to dinner. All in all Pitch is great, but the large group policies keep me from giving them 5 stars. I'll definitely go back by myself or with a smaller group, but I doubt I'll ever take a large group in again. One other note: If you've got AT&T Wireless your phone will not work inside Pitch. At all. Even if it says you have bars. It just won't work. Verizon and Sprint seem to be fine, so it's not Pitch's fault, but just something to keep in mind if you're an AT&T customer and you're expecting an important call during dinner.
(4)Cam V.
The food here is delicious! My favorite pizza is probably the marsala with goat cheese, fig sauce, arugula...yum. Burgers here are fantastic too, some of the best I've ever had especially with that coal fire finished taste. Actually, I would say this might be my favorite burger in Omaha. I read somewhere that they combine ground sirloin with ground beef so that might explain the deliciousness. The only reason 4 stars is this place can be a bit pricey and like many reviewers, I don't care for the communal style seating and "pitch" lighting. Just my personal opinion though. I probably would go here more often if they opened a location out West since we live in Elkhorn, but Dante's is a pretty comparable restaurant when I'm craving good pizza.
(4)Travis L.
I read in the magazine in the restaurant that the owner plans to make this a franchise. If I encountered a chain of Pitch's, I'd be a pretty happy camper. Service was decent. It was disappointing that the majority of beers were bottles (Stella was the only beer on tap). While I flip-flop on whether tap or bottle is better (both do have their pros and cons), I like to be able to choose. That said, their selection of bottled beers was pretty great. One last thing: The crust was good, but for coal fired pizza, it was a little too thick and chewy. My father-in-law describes a certain chain of Italian restaurants as "Reliable mediocrity", in that you know what you'll be getting. You won't be wowed, but you also won't be disgusted. Maybe this will change in time, but that's how I feel about Pitch right now.
(3)Julia S.
First time was great! Pizza variety and selection was good. Good drink specials. Was a little small but felt cozy. Not ideal for kids.
(5)Jessie W.
I've been to Pitch handful or more times as it's conveniently located in my neighborhood. Overall Pitch is OK, but I never leave there feeling like I can't wait to go back. They have a cool pizza/wine deal on Monday/Tuesday evenings, which is nice for a date night or catching up with a friend. My favorite pizza is the Bianco Verde. It's topped with prosciutto, caramelized onions, arugula, fresh mozzarella. Super tasty. My last experience was a few weeks ago and left me more than unsatisfied. I went with a group of 15 or so friends for a going away dinner. The service was overall friendly and attentive. I've always wanted to order the Comte mac & cheese, so this time I went for it...bad idea. It was awful. I don't know if it was the oil, the cheese, the sweetness, or what - but unforunately I only had about 2 bites. The waitress asked me if I liked it and I told her not really and her respone was "well does anyone else want to eat it?" Luckily my friend and I split a Wedge salad at the beginning of our meal (which is very good!) but I still left there feeling hungry. Not to mention my tab was $40, which included a glass of wine, the Wedge salad, comte mac & cheese, and 20% gratuity due to having a large party.
(3)John H.
This is the last truly offensive meal I've had in Omaha. The quality, which at one time was pretty reliable, has utterly imploded. It's gut busting without any flavor. It's like they bought a flavor sucker after Willy sold it so that everything could taste like Elmer's glue. They're busy, I suppose, but what a shame.
(1)Billy T.
Excellent food and atmosphere! We had the truffle fries and Brussels sprouts for starters and the Mia (Willy's favorite) pizza. All of it was delicious! I would definitely recommend Pitch! Great for date night!
(5)Jenny B.
I like this place a lot--but I wouldn't advise you to come if you're very hungry. Although owned by Willy Theisen of Godfather's fame, you're not going to get a deep-dish butterbomb of a pizza here. The pizza is thin crust and wood fired, made with fresh ingredients and has been delicious each of the multiple times I've eaten here. We have tried the Mia and Two Peps, the latter is my fave. You can get a pretty good bottle of wine here for under $20; my husband and I split a bottle of pinot noir...can't for the life of me remember the name, but it was good! I agree that community seating could be a little awkward, but any time we've been here we have had a private table. We also had a cool waiter that told us about the history of the building...would definitely recommend this place!
(4)Eric L.
This is our favorite pizza place in omaha. The food, atmosphere, and service are consistent top notch, and I've seen the owner in there on a number of occasions (always on the weekend). Knowing that he used to own the godfathers franchise, im guessing he's not working because he needs the money. I figure he's probably there because he enjoys it, which is nice to see. Highly recommended.
(5)Patrick G.
This place has gotten a bit too big for its britches. The pizza is good, but the service sucks. If I had written this review before the last few visits, it would get a 4/5. However, the service has absolutely sucked the last couple times we went. My wife has a dairy allergy, which is pretty common and shouldn't be a problem for a restaurant of this caliber, but they always manage to go out of their way to screw us over. A few months ago, we tried to order one of their pizzas with half no cheese, and their response was, "We can't guarantee that we can do this. The cheese just goes everywhere when we cook the pizza." I said, "OK, do your best." When it comes out, it's about 75% cheese and my wife could only eat 2 of the slices. Give me a break! Why is it that every other pizza place in the world can accommodate this request (even Pizza Hutt), and hoity-toity Pitch can't deal with it? We make pizza at home and it's not that hard to separate the cheese if you take a few seconds to be careful. Spend a few extra minutes to make it right and treat your customers with respect. Don't insult my intelligence with excuses because your kitchen staff is lazy. Tonight was even worse. We told our waiter about my wife's allergy and the salad still comes out with cheese on it. We have to send it back, and we don't get the salad until after the pizza comes out. We have some yuppie helper bring the pizzas out, and I tell him to just cancel the salad order. He rolls his eyes and just walks away, not giving a crap. That pretty much sums up Pitch these days. This place doesn't give a crap about customer service any more. They get enough business that they don't care about alienating their loyal customers who have been eating there from the beginning. I don't care about them either...I'm not going back. PS - They have a $3 "fee" if you want to split a plate. Any place that does that is just obnoxious.

Ate there last night for the first time. I liked the place and atmosphere, very nice. I would give this 5 stars. We ordered the Fried Calamari, Brussel Sprouts, Macaroni & Cheese, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Mia Pizza, and the Shrooms Pizza. Everything was really good, except I didn't care for the spaghetti sauce. (I make my own homemade sauce, 130 yr old recipe from Sicily) so I am very pickey about sauce. The sprouts were very good, but a little on the salty side, but I would try them again. The Macaroni & Cheese was very good and rich. The best was the pizzas, I loved the Shrooms Pizza, it was wonderful, if you like mushrooms you will like this alot. I also had the Sangria that they make themselves, it was very good. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of the spaghetti sauce & it is a little on the pricey side for small thin pizzas. If you are looking for traditional pizza this is NOT the place, there is no hamburger here.

Definitely one of my favorite places for pizza in town. This crust is a great Neapolitan style - thin yet chewy with a crispy edge...mmm mmm gotta love it. I have tried every pizza they make and while I have my favorites, I have not been disappointed with any. If you want more than pizza, try adding an appetizer. The Artichokes are scrumptious, the Calabrese Meatballs are tender, moist and delicious, and if you like beans, absolutely go for the Tuscan White Beans-they are a bowl of yummy earthy creaminess. Oh and we can't leave out the salads. If I had to suggest one, I would say go for the Arugula Salad. It is cleverly presented with the prosciutto wrapped around all the other salad ingredients. The Roasted Beet and Chicken Chop Salad are also very good. It has a nice Dundee atmosphere about it...comfortable, laid back. Choose a wine from their 90+ list, order a pizza, relax and enjoy.

Pros: Cool looking place Cons: The pizza tasted too much like charcoal, no take out option Popular Omaha restaurant entrepreneur Willy Theisen makes his long awaited return to the food that made him a millionaire back about 30 years ago. Though Pitch Pizza is quite a bit different from Godfather's, it has potential to be a popular spot in Omaha. It needs to work out a few things, though. The place is located in a great spot in Dundee. The look of the restaurant is very neat and comfortable. By looks and feel alone, the restaurant is definitely nice. However, with this being a wood-fire pizzeria, the pizza is going to have a different type of taste to it. This pizza unfortunately had a bit of a charcoal bite to it, too much of one in fact. Wood-fire pizza needs to have a balance of charcoal flavor, but if there is too much of one, it takes away from the taste of the pizza. The other problem is the fact that there's no take out option. I think a pizza place needs a take out option to succeed. That's what makes La Casa's, Mama's and other local places great. I hope they can get these two things corrected because what they have so far looks promising. Willy launched Godfather's as a national chain successfully and brought Fuddruckers and Famous Dave's to the Omaha area successfully. We'll see if he can strike gold twice with pizza once again.

Pizza is great, hard to get seating after 7PM any night. Also, AT&T has zero service and after several years, Pitch still has not offered a WiFi solution that works. So if you have to be available to be contacted or need data, skip this place.
(4)Jarell H.
Absolutely great pizzas and beers!!!
(5)Katie F.
Pitch and pizza deal is an excellent date option. A pizza and a bottle of Pitch wine for $20. Pizza is hand-fired and delicious. Definitely try the steak and goat cheese.

When Pitch opened I was excited as the wood fired pizza place I use to go in NW Omaha closed. Pitch has been open a long time and I finally made it there with a friend before going to the Playhouse. I regret that it took me this long. I was in 7th heaven after my first bite. We started with the Bruschetta that has a Roasted Eggplant Relish and also had the Calabrese Meatballs. They both were filled with a ton of flavor. The meatball took me totally by surprise as you usually don't find one that wows you on the first bite and this one did that. We made the right decision that night choosing Pitch over all the other great eateries in Dundee and we hadn't even gotten our pizza yet. We ordered the Mia, which has San Marzano tomato sauce, the house made fennel sausage, pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. We only ate half as we were full from our appetizers, but it was delicious. My boyfriend ate the leftovers the next day and even reheated he said it was good. I can't wait to go back to try other menu items as I'm guessing there is not a bad item on the menu.

Finally tried an appetizer on my most recent visit, the calamari was flavored well, but a little chewy, doubtful I'll order an app again when clearly the pizza is the star of the place. We did sit at the community tables which I still feel weird sitting across from strangers while they eat, my girlfriend and I probably came across as obnoxious to the mother and her college age son! Oh Well! Pizza was delish...I had talked it up for months to my friend, and she agreed the crust is where it's at!! Still love you, Pitch.
(4)Gabby A.
I ate at pitch with a friend of mine this past weekend, and I think it has some pretty solid pizza. We showed up at about 8:15 and the place was packed. We put our names in for a table and were told our wait would be at least 20 minutes. We headed straight for the bar and ordered a couple of glasses of wine. The atmosphere in here was alright. It was simple and modern, but something about it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I can't put my finger on it...maybe pretentious or snooty? After a few minutes, the hostess came and asked if we'd like to be seated at the community table. We were starving, so we decided that would be just fine. We ordered calamari for an appetizer and and the Bianco Verde pizza to share. The calamari was good but not great. The breading was a bit bland but the sauce that came with it was very tasty. The pizza was damn good. It was topped with ricotta cheese, prosciutto, caramelized onions, arugula, and fresh mozzarella. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. All of the ingredients worked beautifully together. The crust on the pizza was my favorite part of all, though. It was so good. It must be the high heat of the coal oven that gives it that special chewy but crispy at the same time consistency. It also had a wonderful smoky flavor. Mmmmm. Well done, Pitch. That is how you do crust. The service was good. She was friendly and efficient, and I felt like our food and drinks took a very reasonable amount of time to arrive considering how crazy busy they were. I would definitely like to come back and try some of their other pizzas. Overall, I loved my first taste of Pitch.
(4)Lindsey F.
Our party of 4 shared brussel sprouts, charcuterie, the mushroom pizza, and the sausage pizza. Plenty of food for all of us. The brussels sprouts with prosciutto were good, but pretty standard. I've had the same dish at many restaurants - these didn't stand out. The house cured meats however, did. Good variety of richly flavored meats, perfect texture. Both pizzas were great - not too cheesy with a tasty crust. The mushroom pie was very rich though - I could only handle one small slice. The house made fennel sausage on the other pie was delicious. Also, the bartender makes a good old fashioned (the menu calls it a manhattan, but it's an old fashioned). The dining room was fairly noisy, but not loud enough to detract from conversation. I ate here over a year ago, and was underwhelmed. This visit was much better!
(4)Brian C.
Happy to see a place that claims to be serious about pizza. Unfortunately, it's nothing special. The crust comes out flat and lifeless, which shouldn't be the case with nice ovens. Even the classics like Pizza Margherita disappoint because of this. All of the appetizers we tried weren't very well balanced either.
(3)Kaai L.
Pitch is one of the best pizza places I've been to! I go at least once a week and LOVE the 'shrooms pizza. The mushrooms taste so awesome! The greens salad is good too, their dressing is really good. Happy hour is the best time to go because you get many different things for five dollars! Cheese and pepperoni 13in pizzas for five dollars! How can you go wrong! I've never tried a coal fired pizza, but it's definitely good! I will go again and again even though it's not too kid friendly and I have a four year old :)
(5)Rick M.
Good food. My first martini was served in a proper glass. Second one served in a water glass .. wtf. Waitress says different bartender different glass. Tacky yes
(4)Todd S.
Would definitely return. We got there around 4pm on a Saturday and it seemed as though the hostess was going to have a problem seating us (party of 2). So, I suppose that means reservations are recommended. We decided to eat at the bar (we prefer it anyway). I really wish there were more draught options available. They have Stella Artois on tap, otherwise only bottled beer, though a good/tasteful selection. I did recognize one of their wines by the glass, Tormaresca "Neprica" which they offer for $8-$9 (not precisely sure) per glass, but I've purchased this at retail before for around $9.00 per bottle. I would expect to pay a mark-up on libations, but that just feels like gauging (typically I would expect to pay, for one glass, what the establishment pays at cost for the bottle, so what this tells me is that the restaurant pays retail for their wine? That doesn't sound right). Anyway... What I really appreciate, is that the menu is more than just pizza. Not only that, but the other-than-pizza is just as delicious. I would definitely like to return and get to sample more of their menu. We had the Brussels Sprouts, and I could have easily ordered another serving of them, they were DELICIOUS (btw, Brussels Sprouts are good for the prostate*, so guys, do yourself a favor and eat moar Brussels Sprouts!). We invented our own pizza topping. Not something I would necessarily recommend, as the menu selections are more than enticing (I just happen to be married to a picky eater, shhh). The bartender/server (Chris) was a pro, and his professionalism was much appreciated. He was accomodating and charismatic without being pushy or intrusive. Dessert (bread pudding) was phenomenal, from what I got to taste, someone seemed to eat it out from under me. Overall, my compliments to the chef! I would definitely return and if I lived closer I could see frequenting them often. *author should not be held accountable for potentially misrepresenting the nutritional value and glandular benefits of Brussels Sprouts. It's just something they were once told by a med. student.

Napoletana pizza done practically to perfection. The shroom pizza was great and will order every time I go. While our waitress was wonderful and had a lot of great suggestions like the meatballs, I must say she wasn't 100% truthful. While the mac and cheese we had was pretty amazing it wasn't better than the place up the block...if you know what I mean.... Okay, I mean Mark's! It's not better than Mark's. There. I said it. Sorry, but she claimed it and I must call her out. Great happy hour menu with super deals. I just wished we lived or worked close enough to take advantage of it. The only time we can is when we ditch work early.
(4)Daniel T.
Great pizza. I'd say the best in Omaha, up there with La Casa and Zio's. The atmosphere is classy and the wait staff is attentive. I go for the "shrooms" pizza which is out of this world. It is a little pricy but I am willing to pay for quality crust and ingredients. It's always busy so plan ahead but that's what you want to see.
(4)Ben P.
When I heard we were going here, I thought we'd at least get a chance to PLAY Pitch. It's been a long time since someone stole my Jack..... Midwestern card games aside, this is a totally decent place. I'm not in love with their "virtually every table is a communal table" policy, and I promise the people who had to share a table with my group of 8 weren't in love with it by the end of the dinner, either. You need to be aware, going in, that this is a more artisanial pizza type kinda place. I.e., one of their specials involves white sauce and pears. And I'm not saying it's not good, but I am saying there are times when that's not the pizza you want. I was also happy to see that Pitch is trying to introduce Omahomies to actual Belgian beer. I liked the wheat-style white I had, and I came to peace with the fact that I had to purchase a 25-oz. bottle (cork and all) to get it.
(4)Joseph G.
I guess this place has pizza. I had the chicken wings, because it just made sense. It took some thought to decide on the correct wine to go with them. I ordered the Herb Coal-fired & Chipotle Honey wings. Probably the fanciest wings I'v had and should have had my monocle with me. Dipping sauce went way beyond a gallon jug of ranch or blue cheese. They even garnished them with cilantro and caramelized onions. Effort! Omaha Wing League approved.
(5)Ellie S.
Loved the roasted artichokes and brussel sprouts.
(4)OldIrvingPoodle H.
Great service, but pizza lacked a lot. I'm from Chicago and won't go back. Great service but not amazing. I could hardly cut the pizza...and they gave me a butter knife. I had my purse on a chair and they asked me to move it cuz that seat was reserved...really!?!
(3)Joel M.
Braised pork pizza topped with fried eggs, LORD FORGIVE ME FOR I HAVE SINNED!!!!!!! The mac and cheese was amazing also. Good job Pitch Keep it up!!!!
(4)Emily B.
It's like: cozy wine bar meets authentic pizza and they have a love-child called Pitch. First we started with the meatballs. They are incredibly moist and flavorful, but I suggest getting them WITH your meal instead of an app, as they are supremely filling. We then split pizza and pasta. We had the "shrooms" pizza as per our server's recommendation, with pepperoni added on top. That was the "good call" of the century in my book. Loved the texture and tastes going on - rich mushroom taste, salty pepperoni, just the right amounts of sauce and cheese on a perfectly-textured crust. For pasta, we had the housemade tagliatte with bolognese and fresh ricotta. There is nothing artificial about this dish. If I had a cute little Italian grandmother, this is what she'd cook for me. We were stuffed after all this, but I wish truly, that I had saved room for dessert. Something tells me their tiramisu or pumpkin cheesecake would have been banging. Just one note of constructive criticism: if one hostess forgot to put our reservation in the system, the other hostess should just work to find/clear a table. We spent 5+ minutes trying to "detect" who took the phone call earlier that day, which brought more attention to the error.
(4)Majel A.
Let me remind you I once waited for 2.5 hours to get into Pizzeria Bianco (what is supposed to be the BEST pizza in the world) before I start this review. This place is right up there! Went to Pitch on a Friday afternoon for some Happy Hour drinks and some food. Our server was amazing that day! She was very friendly and very honest with us about the food. Since we hadn't been in before, we had a number of questions about what she would and would not recommend, what the crowd favorites are, etc. She took alot of time with us and gave us her honest opinions of the various pizzas. We settled on the MIA and the SHROOMS. Both pizzas were excellent. They were great recommendations and we';; definitely go back.
(4)Leila K.
Pitch is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. The atmosphere is very comfortable and full of interesting design elements from the concrete tables and unique art to the backlit wine bottles. The costs are reasonable, but they do feature a specialty drink list with some pricier options (which are delicious). I have tried a number of different pizzas, salads, soups and appetizers. While I have never been let down by anything ordered, I have not been blown away either. I will say that the pizza crust is above average on the delicious scale and I love that the salads contain fresh greens instead of iceberg lettuce. Service is fine - nothing to write home about. My only major complaint is that when the restaurant is full, it can get very loud. I went once with a few friends and we had to shout across our community table (shared by other parties) to have a conversation. I felt like I was losing my voice. On weekend nights (including Thursday) Pitch fills up fast, so get there early or be prepared to wait.
(4)Andy C.
No question the best pizza I have had in Omaha. I tried La Casa last week and was thoroughly disappointed. But this was a home run. We started with a couple beers (pretty good selection of micros, but it is all bottled except Stella), then ordered the beet salad. It comes with beets, butternut squash, baked goat cheese, pistachios, and red wine vinaigrette on a bed of greens. Fantastic. Then we ordered the Marsala Pizza, which is topped with figs, goat cheese, pears, arugula, truffle oil, and mozzarella. This was a delicious pizza. A nice thin crust with great toppings. It ended up being a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it was still well worth it. I will be back very soon.
(5)Natalie J.
Yum yum yum! Okay let me start by saying every time I'm in Omaha my bf takes me to a new pizza place and says the same thing "this is the best pizza in town" so of course when this same statement rang threw my ears my eyes rolled back because frankly the last place was so so. But when I opened my mouth an explosion of yummyness made my tongue dance the jiggity jig! The pizza was a mix veggie we also had Brussel sprouts and they too were fabulous... I can't wait til next month I will be back!
(5)Josh C.
Pitch is perhaps the most underrated restaurant in all of Omaha. They have fantastic atmosphere, delicious and unique food, a great wine & drink list, and even a private parking lot in a neighborhood some avoid due to its parking difficulties. Don't be fooled that it for some baffling reason doesn't get better ratings on sites such as these; people are often simply perturbed by long waits and having their pre-conceived notions of good pizza (rightfully) challenged. People: a restaurant with a wait is a GOOD restaurant. Pitch pizzas are unique and delicious. I've been a dozen times and probably had every pizza on the menu. They're all consistently good. My favorite personally is the Two Peps (pepperoni and pepperoncini for a kick), but the Benny and the Marsala are both excellent as well. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, and I recommend it to absolutely anybody.
(5)Holly B.
I went to Pitch recently with some friends who know the manager. Maybe that made a difference, maybe not... Great salads, great thin crust pizza, don't drink single glasses of wine, though. The vegetable side dishes we had (brussel sprouts, green beans) were superlative. (The manager brought out the green beans as a comp.) Perky wait staff, nice decor and comfortable seating. My friends seemed to think the coal-fired oven was something new and on trend. It's not, but so what. Still good. Great addition to this wonderful little neighborhood. I would definitely go back again.
(4)Patrick W.
Ordered a pizza with pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, and basil. It was just as delicious as it was the first time. To avoid the excessive wait times, call ahead for seating. You'll still have to wait but not nearly as long.
(5)Wade C.
I had high expectations for Pitch, some were met, some were not. The atmosphere is amazing, FIVE stars there, easily. Contemporary, clean, chic. The kitchen area where they cook the pizza in the coal fire is open for guests to watch their food being made. Granite countertops with dim lights and candles. Service, FIVE stars, our server was outstanding, attentive, and friendly. Drinks, FOUR stars, ordered a in-house special drink that was suggested by our waiter; it was made with Starbucks liquor, not my favorite thing. Food, TWO stars. Unfortunately, the Artisan Cheese Selection we had for a starter didn't really do anything for me. I had kept my hopes high for the pizza we ordered, which was the Two Peps - large homemade pepperoni with pepperoncini peppers; It just didn't blow me away. The crust was the best part, nice and thin and flour-y. Everything else about the pizza was just so-so. Not bad, not great - just a pizza. For a restaurant with this level of sophistication, I had expected better. If it were a low-key college hangout of some kind, I'd probably give the experience five stars, but in this case it just didn't deliver.
(3)shannon b.
Hmm. Been here a few times and the food is good - Mia's pizza and the shrooms pizza are my favorites. Solid meatballs, great hamburgers with truffle fries (awesome now that Blanc is closed). Service has been hit or miss (mostly miss). The hostesses probably need to find other jobs or learn to put smiles on their faces - we've noticed the same ones each time and they look bothered to be there (hey, I know you are in high school and would rather be doing other things but, really, a smile won't hurt you). And on previous occasions our wait staff were not much better. Our waitress this particular night was fantastic so perhaps they could take lessons from her ( wish I would have gotten her name but blond shoulder length hair, worked in the back around 7pm). Food is very good and hopefully service will get better :-). P.S. - wouldn't recommend going here on hot days - their AC doesn't seem to work very well.

Parking sucks, but the food is good. Good food and wait staff

Back in Omaha from Scottsdale for a couple of days and had to go to Pitch. Once again it was terrific. This time I shared a meatball pizza which was outstanding. The crust is perfection. Fun, energetic atmosphere. Service was wonderful. One of my favorite Omaha places to visit for great food.
(5)Amy M.
I've been to Pitch a few times, always ordering pizza, since it's in the name, and never left feeling I had eaten anything that might make me have a mad craving to go back. Except the truffles fries; but fried potatoes drizzled with truffle oil are pretty hard to mess up. So, this place hasn't been on my list of regular joints. And then a friend invited me to dinner and to see A Christmas Carol a couple weeks back and chose Pitch because a) it was convenient and b) she LOVES the place but she's vegan and gets excited over any restaurant with vegan options (sorry, but true). This time I decided to go in a direction decidedly away from the pizza and chose the rigatoni bolognese instead and boy was I happy I did! This was some of the best pasta I've had in Omaha (but I'm not a big fan of any Omaha Italian food, so take that as you will) - for me it's definitely a craveable dish. I'll definitely be back the next time I want some yummy, meaty pasta, big enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day.
(4)Annie G.
This review is based on one recent visit here; I hope I can get back again next Omaha trip to see if they've been able to finesse -- if so, this place can't lose. Pros: pizza was wonderful. For the drips who think this pizza tastes too much like charcoal: umm, it's coal-fire pizza. it's supposed to. Your lackluster palette might be better suited at pizza hut. I was with a large group and we tried 4 pizzas. My faves: the margarita and the fig one. Yes, that was great. The wine is super affordable, and the salad appies were perfect. The nice hostess quoted us an hour wait and it was exactly that. Lovely. Cons: Our waiter was a jerkstore. Not sure if he had had a bad day or was annoyed at our large table of slightly-drunk folks. Either way, he was a jerk and I wished we could have traded him. Second con would be in regards to the tables. While the ambience of this place is cozy and wonderful, the large table top we were at was too wide -- we couldn't keep a convsersation with those seated across from us. So, that's all I have for now. I have a good feeling about this place.
(4)Charles C.
Just keeps getting better! Fun vibe, good bar, staff, creative menu, pleasant wines, (try the Pitch Black) ...all make for happy patrons & a number of regulars! A major benefit to the neighborhood. Good idea to make reservations!
(4)K G.
Pitch is weird. The pizza is right up my alley. We are purists, so we always do the margherita. Love the real mozzarella. The coal firing is perfecto and I adore the basil. I do not like the atmosphere, the everchanging menu and the wacky way they have handled take out when we get it. I think it's some of the best pizza in Omaha, hands down. But the weirdness that seems to continually accompany our take out orders and visits to eat in is getting to be too much. And I am not a fan of the communal dining. It encourages eavesdropping and makes me feel manic.
(3)Robert B.
Not the best, but not the worst, either. Pitch looks great. The interior design is very contemporary and quite appealing to my sophisticated tastes. The drinks are prepared well and their presentation is flawless. The bartender on staff is the same one we've seen at Pitch on multiple visits. Five stars for the bar! Now let's get on to the problems with Pitch... We ate on a Thursday so the problems we experienced were not due to an overcrowding situation. The traffic was reasonable. A couple of open tables at all times. The server threw us the first curve ball of the evening with her cloying snark. I ordered a drink which contained, as its base, a hearty helping of gin. She looked at me, paused, and as she nodded and gingerly placed her hand on my shoulder reassuringly, said "You like gin, riiiggghhht?" My first reaction was to snap back: "Do I look like the one of the Thursday night rubes who bumbles his way through a high-end cocktail in order to impress the cougars-in-training?" Perhaps I wasn't in the mood that night, but something about her tone set me off. But I didn't snap. Instead, I confidently repeated my order, politely, and thanked her. The big draw for Pitch is the pizza. So that's what we ordered. Our group ordered approximately three pizzas of different varieties. Each one of them exhibited the same issue: a simple lack of preparation. The flavors that were present were conflicting, none of which were complimentary. The differences were stark and brutal. Spinach tasted like spinach. The cheese tasted like cheese. Yet there was no melding of flavor. It was as if someone handed me raw ingredients to gnaw on with a slide of toast and a dollop of tomato paste. At some point, we will return to Pitch for a drink and perhaps even another go at their pie. Until that time, Pitch needs to work on staff courtesy and culinary execution (with the exception being the outstanding bartender).
(2)Sondra Z.
Tried this place after seeing the Yelp reviews and it paid off! The mushroom pizza is amazing! Definitely an artisan pizza kind of place, we had 4 of their small specialty pizzas for our group of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids) and two desserts.
(4)molly a.
Pitch has great food and a trendy enviorment, but the prices are way too high. parking sucks too. Its all worth it for a once in a while treat :)
(3)Dennis K.
The shroom pizza is so good.I love pitch.Really good cocktails too.Cucumber sparkler is refreshing as it gets.
(4)S A.
Simply put, I'm a fan. The pizza is tasty, the service is great, and the ambiance is about as good as it gets in Omaha. This isn't where I'd order my takeout but it's a great place to go out for the evening. Beware: the pizzas are THIN, which means you may need to order more than you think. UPDATE: I went for lunch today. They had a $7.95 special for a Margherita pizza and salad. Salad - 1 star, Pizza - 5 stars, Price for the combo - 4 stars. So, I'll leave the rating at four stars, but that salad just didn't do it for me!! Thank goodness the pizza did, and that was plenty of food.
(4)Todd C.
I tried this tonight with my wife, kids, parents, and extended family. The pizza was good if you like thin crust. Not exceptional, but better than average. Also, this was quite pricey for pizza. There were only one size pizzas, which were about the size of a medium. The Mia pizza we ordered with sausage and pepperoni was $15. Sparse toppings...not like Godfathers or others. Very nice interior design and atmosphere. There are several large tables where you sit with other patrons...different but neat. Not a huge place, so I would not recommend large parties. The service was very good. Willy Theisen himself was walking around and talking to customers. There is no take out and this is the first pizza place (or restaurant for that matter) I have come across has not offered take-out.
(3)Steve P.
Mamma Mia..fresh and tasty pizza and salad. One of the best pizza's I have had in my life! This place is a great spot for sensational food. The pizza's are thin crust and original with a wonderful assortment of specials. If you on this town...do not pass it by. Delicious.
(4)Spencer W.
IF ya call yourself a pizza place you better really know how to bring it. Although the atmosphere is truly great and the meatballs are memorable, the fact I paid that much for middle of the road pizza still kinda bugs me. Pizza prices around the nation dropped unusually fast the last couple years. Not at Pitch.
(3)Jeannie H.
Pizza we had was great. The white sangria very delish. Trendy and a little spendy.
(4)J C.
I've been here a handful of times since it's opened. There's always a good crowd but have never had to wait more than a minute or two for a table. Not a fan of the communal seating, esp. if you're looking to have an intimate conversation. It's more like sitting in a fancy school lunchroom. But not a dealbreaker. The food is really good. I don't get rave-y over pizza but their's is pretty damned good. My favorite is the 'Shrooms pizza. They also have awesome salads and side veggie dishes. The drinks are on the very good end, as well. I've had a few martinis here and they are never weak. The service has always been good to average. No bad experiences but nothing to brag about either. I'll definitely be back often. It's in the neighborhood. The food and drinks are really good and I'm getting better at rubbing elbows with strangers.
(4)V A.
Pitch has average to good pizzas and great appetizers. I has a great feel as a restaurant. If you go at night it is typically full, people are having a good time, and feels like a fun, happening place. I fully recommend Pitch if you haven't been there. My only complaint is that I can't seem to find nutritional information on their food. For that reason I give them 3 stars. They should publish this information and make it readily accessible to customers.
(3)Gina S.
Merry, joyful, happy hour! I loved the atmosphere at Pitch. It's the perfect combination of trendy, casual and light romance. Sounds like date night to me! The staff were on par: courteous, knowledgable and efficient. We were sat immediately on a Friday evening during happy hour (3-6pm). About half the tables were still empty. Our waitress greeted us right away and she knew her ish when it came to the menu and the specials and answered our random questions without batting an eye. The service was fantastic and everything from the water to the libations continued to flow seamlessly...there was never an empty wanting glass on our table. The hubs and I ate and drank for a steal off the happy hour menu. The cocktails are amazing and the beer list is decently diverse. We shared the Doc pizza. That sucker is fully loaded with all kinds of veg and spicy sausage. And by spicy, I mean it was much spicier than I expected in a good way. And it was very filling too.

Let me just start off by saying I have had good food (pizza mainly) at Pitch in the past. This review is based on my recent lunch at the restaurant. Although I have loved their pizza the several times I have been to Pitch, I decided I was more in the mood for a sandwich. There were several options that sounded delicious, including the sandwich of the day that the waitress described to us in a way that made my mouth water. However, I went with my gut and went for the buffalo chicken sandwich, that comes with tomato, mozzarella, red onion, arugula, and corgonzola cream. I was also given the option of fries, truffle fries (menu lists a $1 charge although our waitress did not mention this), or the mixed greens. The sandwich was good--not great and nothing special. It had a good taste, but I also felt that everything on the sandwich somewhat overwhelmed it. The bun is much too big for the sandwich and definitely takes away from the chicken flavor when you have a mouthful and the majority of it is the bun. Although I received a good portion of fries, they were horrible. They lacked any flavor or taste--so much so that I only ate a few (and if you know me, you know how much I like anything fried--so for me not to eat them is saying something!). I wished there was salt on the table to add a little something to the limp, weak-tasting fries, but alas there was only ketchup. A $12 sandwich at lunch time is a tad bit expensive in my book. There are plenty of other restaurants around town that have better lunch specials. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She was great about keeping my water glass filled. Overall, I was disappointed in my last visit to Pitch. But maybe it's my fault: Lesson learned not to go to a place that has 'pizza' in the name and order a sandwich!

I'm always torn when people suggest going to Pitch. I love their food. Sandwiches, appetizers, pizza, desserts - all are flavorful and well prepared. The servers are also attentive and polite without being overbearing. They've also got a solid bar, wine list and offerings for local craft brews. The one reason I always hesitate is the noise. It's INSANELY loud to the point where it's nearly impossible to carry on a conversation during peak dining hours. When we go, we intentionally try to hit off hours for a late lunch or early dinner. I'm not averse to speaking up when a place is busy, but the noise during their busy times makes talking across the table almost impossible. Unless you're willing to shout or carry on smaller conversations with only the people sitting to either side you may want to find a different place during busy times.

My fiancé and I finally went and tried Pitch for the first time after hearing so many great things about it. We decided to make a reservation solely based on the popularity of the place ( I would highly recommend a reservation). We were seated just a few minutes after our reservation time, which is to be expected of a busy place. Our waiter and his trainee were prompt with water and menus right after we were seated. The waiter was super knowledgable of the products and dishes they had. However, it took for what seemed like an eternity for them to come back to take our drink order. By the time they came back we had decided against the appetizer we were going to order and opted to just order drinks and our entrees. I had a burger which was incredible. You can add whatever you like to customize the burger to your liking. With the burger came fries that were luke-warm at best. For dessert I had the mascarpone cheesecake which was divine. The highlight of the entire meal was my red sangria. I think the alcohol made it less obvious that the service kept getting worse and worse as the night went on. Pitch's food and drink are the sole reason for the four star review, and I would absolutely go back for it. The service, unfortunately, needs to be addressed in the attentiveness department.

HOLY YUM! I'd say this place is Pitch Perfect! The food was absolutely delicious and such a treat to enjoy in Omaha. I ordered the rigatoni bolognese. Normally, this dish sounds pretty plain. Pasta with meat sauce? But at Pitch, they spiced up the dish filling it with delicious Italian sausage and meat. The flavors were so rich! To top it off, there was a ball of ricotta cheese on that top splashed with truffle oil! I was obsessed. My friend got the MIA pizza which also looked delicious if you're a meat lover! I definitely suggest coming to Pitch. It was a cute restaurant with bold and tasty flavors. They took standard menu items and made them their own with delicious flavors! So good!!

Finally got to try Pitch pitch. Glad we had made reservations, I would highly recommend it. Our server was very knowledgeable, made some great recommendations. I had the Scampi Rigatoni; excellent portion sizes and best of all..big plump shrimp, none of the baby shrimp which I greatly appreciated! The food is 5 star, I would say our service was a 3 at best. As mentioned our server was knowledgable and pleasant but the attentiveness was lacking greatly. The wait times for everything got longer and longer, I can't even say when we last spent 2 hours out at dinner. Glass of water sat empty twice for probably at least 10 minutes at a time. Will definitely return; for the food, service leaves much to wish for. We literally probably spent more time sitting and waiting around more than anything else: 2:1 ratio at least. Lastly; they don't tell you but the homemade noodles is a $5 up charge. It was highly recommended, no mention of additional charge by staff or menu. Typically every place that I've gone to that offers homemade pasta it is always just an option or perk.

I guess I haven't updated my review for PITCH since 2011, so I'm overdue for an update. Pitch has stayed consistent in terms of food, service, atmosphere, and ambiance over the years. It has increased in popularity significantly, so while you could once come in during a rush hour and snag a table or a short wait, now the wait time will be much longer if you dont have reservations. Fri. Sat, Sun, you HAVE to have reservations or come on an off hour if you want to be seated immediately. Even the bar area fills up to standing room only during their busy nights. I recommend take out, which is something I have been doing a lot of recently. I find the food is not quite as good (fries a little soggy and not as hot, or pizza just not quite as perfect due to sweating in the box) BUT it will still fulfill that craving and you can eat it in the comfort of your own home. In sweatpants! I really like that the food is very very consistent here. I can count on almost every menu item to be prepared exactly how I remember it- and I have tried almost the whole menu at this point. My favorite chopped salad is now on the permanent menu and not just served at lunch which is a huge plus (and gripe in my previous review). I still love the truffle frites and the 2 peps pizza. Added to my favorites are the meatballs [the come in a few dishes, the sub, spaghetti, and as an appetizer] and the lobster mac and cheese. They often have specials for the day that are also innovative and yummy.

Finally got a chance to try out their much talked about pizza....and we didn't get disappointed. We tried both the Thai and Lobster Pizza and loved both. Though we favored the Thai better. House Sangrias were OK, we think that the Red is more flavorful vs the White. Would definitely go back again.

Who knew there was such a wonderful pizza place in Omaha? Rivals Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles, for a fraction of the price. Enjoyed homemade charcuterie, pizza with spicy fennel sausage and other with arugula, prosciutto and figs. Dean and Robert treated us like royalty and couldn't have been more gracious. Made perfect wine pairings of wines by Michael David from Napa--rapture Cab and Lust Zin. Then when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, Dean insisted we try a homemade pasta. He recommended a pappardelle with shrimp and sweet peppers in a lemon cream sauce. I don't even like cream sauces and this was phenomenal.

I had a friend from out of town and we wanted to meet up with some friends we hadn't seen in a while. One of them suggested Pitch in Dundee. Three of the four of us had never been, and we were all really impressed! We had heard you need to make reservations and did for 11am on a Saturday morning. When I pulled up there was a long line in front, and I thought to myself, wow...glad we made reservations! We got in the line and just minutes before 11am, the line started funneling into Scout Goods, the Vintage Store next door. I had no idea what the draw was, but thought it was funny that I waited in line for it. A couple minutes later the staff at Pitch opened their doors and it did start filling quickly. Our waitress was great and gave us plenty of time to figure out what we were going to have and made recommendations for popular dishes. At our table we had an order of meatballs, a pizza, one of the daily specials which was a potato and shrimp dish and a large salad. Everything was really fresh and delish. The atmosphere was a really nice setting for a group lunch. At the end we asked a hostess to take our picture, since it's the first time in years we'd all been together, and she went full on photo shoot with us, took all our phones, brought us outside for better light, and posed us under the Pitch sign, which resulted in some great pictures. I was super impressed by the entire experience and will be back! GET THE MEATBALLS!

Pitch is Pitch Perfect as alway. We're waiting to see you out tonight at the party! Loved the Balsamic Glazed Duck with Gnocchi!
