The best slice I ever had in Nebraska came from a place I almost drove right past. The sign was plain, the parking lot was half empty, and I was mostly just hungry.
One bite later, I was already planning a return trip. From brick-oven sourdough to thin, crackly squares, these seven spots across Nebraska prove that great pizza can show up in the most ordinary-looking buildings.

Walk into Orsi’s and the smell hits first: warm bread, tomato, and a little garlic drifting out from the back. The building sits on Pacific Street in Omaha’s Little Italy district, and it has been feeding the neighborhood for a very long time.
Part bakery, part deli, part pizzeria, it feels like an Italian grocery that happens to make outstanding pies…
