It is not often that the name of a restaurant so accurately reflects the product and experience a customer is getting. Turns out Tasty Pizza, the restaurant, sells some pretty tasty pizza! Jack recommended this spot for a ‘lil DC Intern reunion last weekend so we decided to check it out!
Tasty Pizza is located off of 55th and Leavenworth, near the Midtown area. The corner restaurant looks like a little red house, covered in vines and plants. There about six or seven tables inside and a few tables outside, but it’s a pretty small space. Many know this joint as “Tasty Pastry,” but they recently change their name to Tasty Pizza. Probably more fitting for their most popular menu item, pizza!
They have a simple menu when you walk in the restaurant, with sixteen (!!) pizza options, a salad, a sandwich, and a few desserts in a fridge to the right. When you enter, you stand by the menu, ponder what pizzas look the best, take too long to order….oh wait! Is that just me?!? Anyways – you order at the counter, then wait for your pizza to be called. There’s a giant block of parmesan sitting on the counter, so you can hand-shave the toppings! Who doesn’t love giant blocks of cheese?! The pizzas took about 15-20 minutes, which was fine for a casual lunch. If you’re in a hurry, this may not be the best spot for you!
Jack got the Buffalo Chicken pizza, topped with smoked gouda, chicken, buffalo sauce, and mozzarella. He also had a pesto bruschetta, topped with artichokes, chicken, tomatoes, and other bruschetta-y things. Katie had the Veggie, featuring a tomato sauce base, with mozzarella, mushrooms, black olives, tomato, spinach, and onions.
Let’s talk about that PIZZA. Caleb and I both had the Mediterranean, which was a goat cheese base, topped with red peppers, artichokes, black olives, spinach, and capers. The crust was made of white flour, and was very crispy on the bottom. I’m not a crust kinda gal, but I ate this crust up! Through eating this pizza, I did discover that i’m not a huge fan of artichokes, and combined with the capers and olives, it was a little to much salt for me. But! This was a filling and satisfying pizza with fresh ingredients for 5$. Literally, what could be better than that?
I really enjoyed this spot! This is a wonderful, cheap, homey restaurant, where people around all parts of town gather for some amazing, simple food. Also, an obligatory shoutout to Jack, who suggested Tasty Pizza. He gives this place 5 stars, and I see why! This is a proper redemption from the Taqueria Habanero disaster, uff. Really proud to see him order two different pizzas this time!
Everyone should go visit Tasty Pizza. They have a variety of options at impossible-to-beat prices. The staff is very kind and patient, and they clearly care about their customers, they even offer free coffee, free water bottles, and an abundance of ranch for y’all Midwesterners who like it with their pizza! They have options for different types of meat eaters, vegetarians, and even use locally sourced cheese from Nebraska farms. My only complaint is their odd hours. Tasty Pizza is open Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Sat 10AM-2PM, and Fridays 10AM-8PM. Its kind of odd and hard to keep track of.
And! May I repeat! None of these pizzas are over 5$!!!!! Their Cheese pizza is (and i’m not joking) $2.75! If you’re hungry and want to support local businesses, this is the spot for you. Go buy their pizza, maybe if we help them gain enough revenue, they can be open all the time forever and ever!
The Bottom Line
Tasty tasty pizza at unbeatable prices. Seriously, amazing prices.

Definitely one of my favorite spots in Omaha! So glad you enjoyed it, they definitely deserve the 4.5 rating. If you’re into goat cheese, I recommend the Goat Cheese Beet (though I usually remove a good portion of the beets). They’re Hawaiian is also stellar.
