The stuff I've had is kinda lame and bland. I guess I'm not a fan of this type of pizza. Careful if You don't like Romano. They put it on everything.

All of my friends in Omaha say this place has the best pizza. I decided to give this place a try after many years of avoidance. First bad part, they don't take credit cards. I never understand this unless I am in a small ethnic place. We got some onion rings and they were bland, although homemade with a good crunch. The pizza was bad. They have limited toppings, so we got their "specially" seasoned hamburger, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and black olives. The corners of the pizza were burnt, otherwise the crust was fine. The "special" hamburger was tasteless. The only thing I could taste was the black olives. I will not be back.

Love La Casa's! I've been eating La Casa pizza for 30 years. I remember the first time I tried it I was like the other first time reviewers here - I didn't get what all the praise was about and really didn't care if I had it again. I was 13 at the time I first had La Casa. My girlfriend's family loved it. It was the only pizza they ordered. Since I was hanging out at her house a lot, was usually hungry and didn't have money to buy my own pizza, I ate a lot of La Casa. It grows on you. You develop a taste for good pizza, just like you develop a taste for good wine. Sure there are a lot of people out there who think Domino's is good (no offense to Doms - I eat that too) and two buck chuck is good wine. But after you have good pizza and good wine your realize there is a difference. The pizza is square and flat so it doesn't look like normal pizzas. Second, they use romano chees so it doesn't taste like mozzarella pizzas. I recommend if you don't love it immediately; try it a couple times and see if you develop a taste. I always order half hamburger half pepperoni (not mixed) and both cheeses - romano and mozzarella. I also order onion rings - very good, it's best to eat them at the restaurant. If I pickup, most of the rings are gone by the time I get home. 84th street isn't the only location. The Leavenworth location has much better ambiance if you dine in.

My girlfriend and I see this place from the trail we bike on. She used to eat there in high school and said we should try it sometime. So, we stopped in after a bike ride last night. To Start, The establishment itself is very nice. It looks like a brand new building really. Comfortable seating and it looked to have plenty of room to move around comfortably. There were only 2 other parties there including us so if it was packed it might be a little more difficult to move around and get to the cash register and fountain drinks. I want to know where the people are eating pizza at (or food in general) that are saying this pizza is the best in town or giving it five stars and saying that you HAVE to try to this place. Don't get me wrong it isn't terrible food. It just isn't all that a couple of the reviews make it out be! That is why I didn't give it one star because I could eat there again. I just won't. First, they don't take debit/credit cards. I can understand a small place that just opened and/or isn't doing a ton of business yet not taking a card, but from the prices for what you get here there shouldn't be a problem paying the fees for the card machines... This however is a minor detail and if they don't wish to take cards then that is fine. Just remember to bring cash or your check book. Secondly, our order consisted of: toasted Ravioli, large pizza (which would be considered a small and a half to a medium (compared to other pizzas), and four beers. Before seeing the food that we got I would have expected to pay maybe to pay $35-$40. After it came out I was left wondering where the rest of the pizza and toppings were and where all the meat was in the ravioli. $44 is what our tab was. Had it not been for the ravioli I would have still been hungry after splitting a "large" pizza with a girlfriend that doesn't eat a lot anyways... For a "large" pizza to cost $22.50 I would expect it to be loaded with toppings and to be taking some of it home. I took a little less than half home. But, as I said we had a full order of toasted ravioli that was more airspace in the middle than meat. The pizza wasn't bad by any means. It just lacked a lot of toppings, size, and flavor to justify a $22.50 price tag for a large... The staff for the most part was helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was quiet and inviting. I could definitely eat here again but I doubt I'll ever walk through their doors again. I couldn't justify spending that kind of money, on the quality and portion size of food we got. Especially when I could go down the road to Roman Coin, Pudgy's, or Old Chicago and get a hands down better pizza for about the same price if not less and get more food for my money.

I've heard about this pizza for years. Just tried it for the first time. My girlfriend said the mauve (pinkish) colored walls made her want to yak (not a good first impression). When the pizza got there, we were looking at a sad, sad pile of grease on a big cracker. It tasted as bad as it looked. We could have saved time and money by ordering Dominos or waiting until 2 a.m. for some night flight. I don't remember who wrote it but as we were leaving I was hearing the famous song "NEVER AGAIN" on repeat throughout the space time continuum contained within the walls of my unsatisfied head. NEVER AGAIN!

We always come to La Casa for the hamburger pizza and onion rings when visiting Omaha. I live in Colorado and you can't find a unique pizza like this or the fantastic onion rings. You order at the counter and they call you up when your order is ready. Pizza is also served on a rectangle tray. If you're looking for a fancy place, this isn't it.

This is definitely a different tasting pizza. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but it is just a unique taste. Their other dishes are ok. You can definitely tell that they are known for their pizza.

I've eaten many brands of pizzas and this pizza was average. I'll admit the pizza was hot, when I picked it up and was a juicy looking pizza, but the taste of the tomato sauce was different from other pizzas, it tasted like a marinara sauce. And I could taste Romano cheese with the mozzarella the sausage was good/ with a little spice at the end. Many people like their pizza, but it's not my cup of tea. I might go back, later later on & try it again.

I always order the double crust pizza with NO sause. It is very filling. When folks come in from out of town this is one of the places I sometimes take them to becsuse of that pizza. Very clean and nice waitstaff.

La Casa has been my family's favorite pizza place since I was a little girl. With good reason. You simply can't go wrong with either their pepperoni or their hamburger pizza (we like them with both cheeses - Parmesan and mozzarella). Their mostaccioli and meatballs are also spectacular. The side salads are pretty basic (good house dressing) but let's be honest...that's not why you go to a pizzeria, right? Do yourself a favor. Go.

This is my favorite pizza and I prefer this location to Leavenworth. La Casa seems to be either a love or hate for most but it's a must try. I prefer the Quattro Formaggi or hamburger with both cheeses. This is the best pizza in town and it isn't open to debate. With that said, do not expect great service and they don't take cards. It is 2014, I've never heard of that. The $0.10 per swipe must be too pricey. I am rating it 5 stars because I love the food that much, even though it's not the most customer friendly.

This is the location I've been visiting since I was a baby. La Casa serves Neapolitan style pizza (I call it Omaha style). Every other pizza place in the city is a variation of the stuff you find at any pizza hut or dominoes. La Casa is very different from what most people are used to. My family always orders Beef with Romano cheese, I've never had anything else and I wouldn't recommend trying anything else. The Beef with Romano is all you need, There is nothing like it. It is the best Omaha style pizza out there. Try it.

The pizza...you either love it or hate it (the romano can be a bit much for people). If you're in the mood it mix it up a bit, give it a go. We either get the regular cheese, the hamburger and/or the cheese with both (mozarella and romano) cheeses if we need to tone it down. The crust is really good...thin, almost crispy, dry. I'm not a fan of deep dish or soggy pizza, so La Casa always comes through in the crust department. For us, it's a "mood" place....we have to be in the mood for La Casa pizza because it's a bit different from your standard pizzas.

Best Pizza in Omaha!!! Hamburger Pizza, Fried Ravioli and a Side Salad. That is my go to order. La Casa offers a unique style of pizza (Neopolitan) that I have yet to find elsewhere in Omaha, so don't expect something you are familiar with. Dine with an open mind. If you do not like sharp cheese then this may not be the place for you. I grew up in Omaha and currently reside in Denver. When I return to Omaha, La Casa is always on my checklist of places to eat. In college I would transport Take-And-Bakes back to Denver when I traveled by car. I recommend doing carry-out and BRING CASH as they do not accept credit cards. A lot of people complain about this, but it helps La Casa reduce cost and cash is not very difficult to acquire. I focus on the quality of food, not how easy it is to acquire it.

I was REALLY disappointed in this place after hearing so many reviews. No credit cards, as others have said, which is strange these days. The dining area was nice and clean, but the restrooms need an overhaul. Service at the order counter was rushed, and then it is self-serve once you have a receipt, so felt I couldn't even give a star for that. I am an adventurous diner, and read the reviews about the Romano cheese being overpowering - but I felt this pizza was just a burnt, bland mess. We ordered Sausage and Romano, since I don't enjoy the Omaha-style, finely ground beef they always want to put on pizza around here. The cracker-type crust (usually something I like) was burnt 'round the edges and soggy underneath. The 10-12 pieces of "sausage" tasted like frozen, and re-heated beef meatballs - no spices int hem to speak of. I found the sauce to be OK - but the pizza was such a disappointing mess overall. My husband and I can't stop talking about how strange it is this place is so popular. I'm learning that "Omaha-style" pizza is not my thing - bland meat, inconsistent crust, unseasoned beef - weird.

Hands down the best pizza in Omaha, if you ask me. I grew up on the stuff and have to order it every time I'm back in Omaha. They don't accept credit cards, but the staff is friendly and gets to know people in the neighborhood, which is nice. It's basically right off the 84th St. exit (I-80) so you can get there easily from just about anywhere. I'm salivating just thinking about it!

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.
