Lyle's Pizzeria

We love trying new things in Omaha. I’m a big pizza fan! I would definitely recommend Lyle’s. Super fresh and awesome environment for a drink or a date.

First time at Lyle’s, and a great first impression. Went in for lunch on a rainy Sunday so the foot traffic was light. Staff was very polite and attentive. Read some previous reviews and opted to go with the sausage pizza. The reviews were all correct and it was fantastic. A great overall pizza with a full flavor pallet. Look forward to future dining visits to try other offerings.

Went here to grab a quick bite for dinner. Sat at the bar and had a caesar salad and pepperoni pizza. The pizza had delicious cupped pepperonis, and they were plentiful! The half caesar was well dressed and was huge, even at just the half size. A little on the pricey side, but a good treat every once in a while for a delicious pizza. Great drink selection and great server.

Service was the main reason for this review. We came in around 1:30 pm for lunch after seeing the lunch specials advertised on their website (salad + pizza combo for $20 and a $10 cheese pizza). Before ordering, we confirmed with our waitress that the lunch specials were still available, and she said yes. We ordered a chopped salad with a margherita pizza, along with a cheese pizza. We were served a Caesar salad instead of the chopped salad. While that wasn’t a big deal and we didn’t complain, it was the first mix-up. The pizzas were decent—good crispy crust on the bottom—but nothing standout or “best in town.” After finishing our meal, we asked for a cookie and then received the check. The cheese pizza was charged at $16 instead of the advertised $10. While the cookie ($3) wasn’t listed, the total was still higher than it should have been. When we asked about the cookie, the waitress claimed the chef had burned it, which didn’t seem accurate since we were seated directly in front of the kitchen—it appeared it simply hadn’t been rung in. After about a 15-minute wait, the cookie finally arrived. The waitress then took our card and, without notifying us or providing an updated check, added the cookie charge—despite us already being overcharged for the pizza. The lack of communication and transparency really left a sour taste. Lastly, neither bathroom has a changing table. We had to change our baby in the booth, which was far from ideal, and I can’t imagine trying to manage that with a toddler. Overall, the food was fine, but the service and billing issues made the experience disappointing.

Went in for dinner last week after hearing a few local recommendations. The place had a relaxed vibe and didn’t feel rushed, which I appreciated. We ordered a large pepperoni and one veggie pizza to share. The crust was cooked evenly and had a nice chew, not too thick or thin. Toppings were spread out well and didn’t slide off, which happens at some spots. Service was friendly and pretty attentive, even though it got a bit busy later on. Prices felt fair for the portion sizes. Overall, a solid pizza place I’d be fine going back to again.

Lyle’s is truly a gem. From the well made pizzas, to the excellent service, and comfortable ambience, there’s lot to love! We got their pepperoni pizza and Ceasar salad and that both hit the spot for us. I also got a side of hot honey which was extra delicious. Do yourself a favor and come support this wonderful local pizza shop!

It was so good we couldn't wait to dig in before taking a picture. From the service, salad, and pizza everything was SO good.

This is a mixed review. Lyle's Pizzeria uses a sourdough crust. My family and I didn't care for the taste of the crust but that is personal preference. You may like it. We ordered the supreme and the mushroom (x2) pizzas and the chopped salad. The toppings were generous and the cheese blends were tasty. The crust was hand tossed and the chew on the crust had a great mouth feel. The pizzas only came in one size - 12". The restaurant is small but that gave it a cozy feel. There was not any background music or TVs blaring, that I recall, which would make a pleasant dine-in experience. We did order carry-out for which they added an additional 10% fee on the total order and the happy hour special prices apply to dine-in only. Both were nominal, in either case, so not a show stopper. Overall, I would recommend the pizza. We are willing to try it again, the potato and leek pizza sounds intriguing, now that we know what to expect from the taste of the crust.

It is almost embarrassing how often I and at Lyles now but, I always have a great meal and a great time. They started doing bingo this summer which has been so fun! Their servers are always very nice and friendly. The pesto roll today was LOADED with cheese on the top! My Tre Carne pizza was cooked to perfection. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

My wife and I went for a Tuesday bingo night that we saw advertised on social media. We sat outside for the event but unfortunately there was a swarm of some insect that was taking over the neighborhood and we had to go inside, but otherwise the back patio was very lovely. We ordered drinks, an app, a Caesar salad, and a pizza. The food was all great, and I'd love to try some of their other pizzas. The service was a bit slow and inattentive, I'm not sure if it was due to the event or not, but I wasn't very pleased with it. Hopefully it's better next time!

I really wanted to like this more than I did. I have tried to get takeout pizza from here on two separate occasions with similar results so time to share a review We placed a to go order last Saturday and were told 20 minute wait which was totally fine. 45 minutes later and still no pizza. Took 50 minutes instead of the 20 minutes we were quoted. Normally I wouldn't care all that much but they charge extra for take out. That is off putting because this is a pizza place, why on earth should it cost extra for takeout orders? It was a 9 minute drive home and during that time the pizza must have steamed in the box because it was SOGGY. Absolutely limp. I had the same issue last time when I ordered the pepperoni pizza. The crust had a bunch of burnt seasoning on it, I love a good fire charred pizza but the seasoning tasted burnt, not charred or grilled. Very unpleasant taste. Upcharging for takeout when the pizza gets soggy within a 9 minute drive, on an already expensive pizza while also taking over 30 minutes longer to make the pizza from the original quoted wait time... overall disappointed. Someday I may try to eat in person to see if the pizza is any better but this place is unfortunately not at all worth the money for take out.

Hard to deny that they make a great pizza. We got pick up earlier in the week, and their pepperoni pizza is one of the better pizza's I've had in a while - filled with pepperoni and good crust.

Visit this location for the last bingo night of the season on the outside deck it was really set up nice I actually went solo. The location was easy to find sit on the corner of the street not a lot of parking in their parking lot, but there is parking over on the other side behind the building The customer service was pretty good. I also enjoyed the pizza. They have really good pizza and during the game of bingo, I won a $20 gift card to come back and buy more pizza. Next bingo season I will be back. I think Lyle's is a really good place for a date night, to hang with friends or even just a solo outing.

Absolutely fabulous Lovely space, friendly staff. Recommend the whipped ricotta, deviled eggs and Funghi pizza . Will be back‼

Make sure you make a reservation! Did not make a reservation but was able to sit at the bar. Ordered the Caesar salad and saw someone else order the Lyle's chopped and will be trying it next time! Looks so good! The wait time was kind of long but I think should be expected since it's being made to order! Place is super cute and a really nice date spot.

You will love the food at Lyle's Pizzeria. The sourdough crust is perfect, thick around the edges, thinner in the center and fully sourdough flavored. We ordered delivery of a classic cheese pizza with added mushrooms. We got lots of mushrooms! They actually have a pizza called Funghi made with mushrooms, two cheeses and basil. We might have to try that. We also ordered the chopped salad which had iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, salami, feta, pepperoncini, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. The oregano dijon dressing with fennel breadcrumb was lovely and parmigiano-reggiano made the presentation. We plan to visit the location in person to experience the cocktails and wine selections. My picture shows the last of the crust, which we always share with our pups.

Love going to Lyle's! Their pesto rolls are my favorite - perfect appetizer or addition to your meal. I've tried a few of their pizzas now and they're all very good, this time I tried the sausage pizza and it stacks up to the rest! We sat out on the patio and it was beautiful - I love how tucked away it is and it's beautifully arranged. We were there for bingo night so it was a little busy but they were on the ball getting our food to us quickly. Bingo was a blast, highly recommend :)

Oh man, I might fall asleep while writing this because I'm so full and satisfied. The olives are always a great choice, but be aware they do have the pits in them. They make their own brine and we had a fresh batch! The pizza was fantastic. We've never had one we don't like and want to continue to try each one. The beer I had went great with the sourdough pizza and my wife ordered the "pizza wine". The Pizza Wine is a rotating red from Italy that the Som chooses to pair specifically with the pizza. The bartenders were both fantastic. Great conversation, great service, great atmosphere, and amazing food.

We came to Lyle's on bingo night and WOW! What a fun event and did I mention it was free + prizes if you win? They had bingo on the patio and it was the perfect breeze. The service was a bit slow, but it seemed like they had 2 servers running the patio and the inside. We tried the deviled eggs and it was a bit salty to my liking. They use sourdough for their crust and it was yum - wven after rebaking/rehearing it the next day. Two people couldn't definitely share one pizza! We also got the tre carne and add some hot honey to drown on the saltiness. We got the sausage pizza as well and in my opinion I think I wouldve liked it better without the goat cheese, but it was still tasty a just wished I got it without the goat cheese so that was on me.

I revisited Lyle's for the first time since after they had recently opened and I enjoyed my meal immensely. The Caesar salad was tasty and the shaved brussel sprouts added a nice twist. Per usual, the pizzas were delicious and the drinks were lovely. I continue to recommend Lyle's to anyone looking for a comfortable, casual neighborhood pizza spot!

Apparently has been a while since we last here. Today after our main trip stop was taken care of, this was near and needed further testing!! Crab Rangoon Pizza was being photographed by another customer and looked like a very good option. And I have not seen prior anywhere. Am excited to try this. I see Herbed Anchovies dressing on a salad, so got a sampling of that. Really good. Pizza and crust are incredible good. But...further testing needed here. This was a great pizza which was not on the published menu yet. I am guessing they have some food pioneers on staff who keep coming up with fabulous ideas, and I was lucky enough today for testing time!!

I've been to Lyle's a few times and have really really enjoyed it both times! We went for a celebratory date night, and this was the perfect spot. It's moody and intimate inside, and I just love it! We started with an espresso martini and a Negroni, both were alright, not our favorites though. We got the pesto roll and a half caesar salad for apps, the pesto roll was not as good as I remember this time. It was a little bit hard and cold (i remember it being super soft and served warm last time, but I could be wrong). The salad was good though! I got the crab rangoon pizza (I think they only have this one during Lent) and it was DELISH! I absolutely loved it. My boyfriend got the sausage pizza and he really enjoyed it, too. Their ranch is also out of this world, so that earns extra points from me. Overall a really solid date night or girls night out spot. It is a bit pricey, but you can taste the quality, so I don't mind spending a bit extra!

Second trip to Lyle's. If it was closer I'd love to go more often! We love the Pesto mozzarella bread. It's so fresh, warm, insane pesto... it's a must order. I'm also obsessed with the Gelato Sour, such a unique balanced cocktail. We ordered the burrata Margherita pizza which was simple and fresh and ended with an espresso martini.

Our drinks took about 20 minutes to come out but the bartender did come and deliver them himself to apologize because he lost our ticket. Food is the only reason for the 4 start review. Pizza crust was some of the crispiest I've had. The meatballs were tender and the sauce they were in was amazing. The salad was great could have used some crunch. All ingredients tasted fresh and made to order It was a little loud and dark inside but I did like the limited amount of tables in the restaurant. Our waiter did kind of kick us out because there was a reservation after us and they needed the table

Lyle's is such a cool, neighborhood spot! Their pizzas are always delicious, and I love that they have a special that changes so you can always try something new! The servers are always really nice and the back patio is super cute and fun to sit at during the summer. You have to try the pesto roll!

Deviled eggs, whipped feta and pizzas are all really good, I like the bar team because they will make craft mocktails to fit your personal taste. And for the good weather, the back patio is open for dining. A delightful evening was had by all.

My husband and I were looking to try out a new pizza place and we drive by here a lot, so we decided to order take out. I instantly gravitated towards the burrata pizza (thanks to other Yelp reviews on this pizza) and my husband got a pepperoni since he's not a huge fan of burrata. We tried to order online, but the burrata pizza wasn't available for online ordering, so we called and they were able to place the order - I'm not sure what the problem was. The pizza was ready exactly on time - they had just placed it in the warmer as I walked in to pick it up. The restaurant was also not super busy for a Saturday night, which was surprising but made our transaction super smooth and easy. The pizza was truly magical (and I don't think I'm the first one to describe it this way). The crust was nicely chewy and slightly charred in places. The tomato sauce and roasted tomatoes gave a nice sweetness, and the burrata was so creamy and indulgent! Truly a top tier pizza. I am looking forward to dining in the next time and trying the gelato sour and the mozzarella pesto roll!

The good- salads and apps were all fantastic. Well done. The pizza- not sure if I'm a fan of the sourdough mashup pizza. Lots of cornmeal did I say cornmeal on the crust. Anyway topping are nice and fresh but if you love a good healthy dose cornmeal / semolina whatever it is just be advised.

I have been dying to go to Lyle's ever since it opened. I'm a huge fan of Via Farina and Dolomiti, and I have heard this rivaled both of those places. The location is super cute, albeit pretty small. I recommend making a reservation just in case. We started with the pesto roll and the feta dip. These were both INCREDIBLE. The pesto roll is wrapped like a cinnamon roll, but instead of cinnamon sugar inside, it's mozzarella. The pesto on top is plentiful and SO delicious - maybe the best I've ever had! The feta dip was also delicious, especially with the rosemary chili crunch oil on the top. We saved it to dip our crust in per recommendation of our server, which was a great choice. Now for the pizza...I hate to say it, but it was just ok. I had the Bianco, and my husband tried the Lyle's Supreme. Both of these sounded like they would be packed with flavor, but we just weren't getting it. Maybe it was an off day, but I was definitely a little disappointed. I would come back here for the apps, because they were INCREDIBLE, but I'm not sure if this will be a pizza go-to for me.

This is one of my favorite new spots and I can't stop telling others about it , the small intimate atmosphere, great service , amazing drinks and even better pizza!

Definitely one of the top 5 local pizza shops in Omaha! The atmosphere is so cute and hip. The menu isn't huge, which makes it kind of nice to just be simple with ordering. I've been a few times, but still think the peach pizza from the summer was my favorite! Friendly bartenders and waitstaff

Yummy! The pizza is fabulous! I always say the crust is what makes the difference between pizzas. This is the light, crisp, airy crust with the perfect amount of toppings! Ohh that crust - perfection! We enjoyed a one size fits all Burrata and a Lyle's Supreme - excellent! Note there are lunch specials, which would be a good buy, it includes a salad. We also had the mozzarella and pesto roll, it was almost too beautiful to eat. It is almost like a cinnamon roll but with cheese and pesto, also delicious as recommend per Yelpers. Comfortable setting in an older building that has been upscaled. Beautiful place and friendly workers.

The food is phenomenal, the mocktails are so creative and delicious, and the service is top notch! This is our favorite pizza in Omaha, and we've tried them all! Sunday's specials are such a steal, too!

Food was delicious! Almost perfection! Ambiance was great! Staff was wonderful! This place has it all!

Finally got a chance to try out the pizza at Lyle's...and it was really good! The service was great and the place had a really cool hip vibe. We'll have to come back and try their other signature pizza, but I do recommend the Funghi.

Another 5 star experience here, from the food, to the service, the conversation and knowledgeable bartender, drinks, and more! This time, we started with the marinated olives again which come paired with sourdough slices. The olives are marinated in oil, garlic, and orange peels---so good! Then we went with the funghi pizza, the mozz made it deliciously salty while the mushrooms made it savory and fresh basil lightened it up. I paired with the pizza wine, the bartender said the sommelier specially chooses wine to pair well with the sourdough in the pizza, and this was a beautiful pairing. My husband got the west o red beer which was a tasty option, too. Their bar is my favorite! I love the 80s vibes and would kill (metaphorically ;-)) to take that canvas above it home for my kitchen. They also have a great option for a pickle beer, pair with the Bloody Mary and you've got a great brunch bev!

I got delivery and this was the first time I'd tried Lyle's. I'm so glad I decided to give them a shot. The pepperoni was COVERED in crispy pepperoni and super tasty. The margarita had super flavorful sauce. Tons of garlic and more like a rich pasta sauce than your typical pizza sauce. The cheese was covered in a good amount of fresh basil and this one was my fave for sure. I'll have to stop by in person some time to get it fresh but even delivery was still top notch. Forgot to take pics before half was devoured.

Pizza is top notch Naples type crust with interesting toppings. They have a couple salads but not much else besides the Pizza to eat as an entree. Atmosphere is great and reminds me of Coco's less than a hundred feet away, now closed. They USED to have a wonderful wine selection of 4-5 whites and 4-5 reds by the glass, domestic, French, Italian. I was there a couple of Saturdays ago and they had the screen down for the USC - Michigan game(?). Lousy projection. What I was HORRIFIED about is the wine list has been DECIMATED . One white. One red. One. Varies. I guess their Clientele changed to Beer Guzzlers who want to watch Monday night NFL and don't mind a crappy screen-projection .

I love this neighborhood pizza place! It's a cute and cozy place to stop in for a bite to eat, and the staff are always friendly. It's great to sit at the bar and strike up a conversation with the bartender, or they have a few tables for a more cozy dinner with friends and family. The mozzarella and pesto roll is the perfect way to start the meal, and will leave you wishing you could have another one. All of their pizzas are exceptional - my favorite is the pepperoni, which features the most delicious mini-pepperonis you'll ever eat. They also have a great variety of rotating specialty pizzas to choose from, you really can't go wrong!

Loved this Pizza and Cocktail Bar - the first restaurant we tried in Omaha during our 2 day trip. TBH we came here to try the much hyped Omaha Crab Rangoon Pizza. They have it as a special on some days. Unfortunately they were out by the time we reached but looks like that was a blessing in disguise. Because we loved the Lyle Supreme Pizza we tried instead. We also had the deviled eggs and the Caesar Salad. The salad was decent - didn't taste much like a Caesar salad IMHO but we did enjoy the crunch of the nuts in it. The deviled eggs were fantastic - creamy, flavorful with a touch of smoked paprika and that crunch of garlic in the end - loved it! I also tried the Okatoni Negroni and the G&T. The G&T was too sweet for my taste but the Negroni was solid! The ambience is inviting and the service is fantastic! Shout out to our server, Lou - she was so friendly and helpful throughout! Definitely recommend!

I finally made it to Lyle's pizzeria for dinner recently with my wife, turns out I should have tried this place sooner, it was really good, a solid 4.5 stars IMO. It is located in a very cool older building with a long bar and a lot of character, I think the building used to be a drug store or something, but really unique. The pizzeria is of the thinner neopolitan style that cooks really quickly and comes out hot and fresh, we ordered the pepperoni and it was excellent, plenty for two people. The crust was amazing, light, airy, and tasty, some pizza the crust is an afterthought, not here. We also had an appetizer of braised beef and pork meatballs, these were my favorite part of the meal. The meatballs were so juicy and the sauce was great, highly recommended. Service was friendly and quick, no issues.

Oh, this place is soooo good! I have been meaning to try this place for a while now, and finally did. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. It's some of the best pizza I have had in a while. I ordered the cheese pizza and added sausage for takeout(basic I know) and it was fantastic. There was great flavor, plenty of cheese/sausage, and the crust was great. They give you more than enough pizza, so you will not leave feeling hungry! I am looking forward to trying more of their pizzas in the near future. Highly recommend giving Lyle's a try!

I love the atmosphere here. Fits right in with the neighborhood. The pizza is very well done. I applaud the crust in particular, because once you nail the crust, as long as you source toppings well, you're in good shape. My only complaint is the price. I would only ever come on Sunday, when the pizza is $5 off. It's $16-$18 per 12 inch pizza? Noli's (an establishment in Omaha) offers a larger 13 inch Margherita pie for $14.

My favorite pizza place. Service is always great and willing to answer any question about the menu. Very clean and great ambiance. Prices are reasonable

I stopped in to give this place a try one night. I had been wanting to but every time i looked at it - I saw the limited menu and wasn't sure if that's was I was looking for. So I was very happy when I decided I was just going to go and enjoy it. Nice ambiance - although a little dark - great for a date night. The waiter I had was fantastic - his name was Simon and while I enjoyed the food - he was such a welcome and kind server that he made the experience all the better.

I love Lyle's! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. We have loved every pizza we have tried and love the fun specials. My favorites are the pesto roll and their sausage pizza. I have not had one bad thing to say about this restaurant and do not expect that to change!

Came back to Lyle's today for lunch. 2nd time here and was absolutely amazing again! The special deviled eggs were delicious. The lunch special sandwich with sausage and spicy capicola and fresh mozzarella was incredible. A must try in Omaha.

First time trying and got an order to go. Fantastic pizza. Everything about it. The crust, sauce, toppings and cheese. Fresh and authentic. Also, one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had. Very friendly staff. Looked like a nice place to dine in at too.

Omg do we love Lyle's. The salad is perfect for cheese lovers and it's such a good starter. It can honestly be shared by 3 people because it's such a large portion! The pizza had such a soft crust the perfect amount of toppings. Beautiful little spot for a date night or get together with friends. Our server was also super attentive & helpful with the menu. I am so happy Lyle's exists!

Great pizza. Also, the Caesar salad is really good, I would suggest you get that in addition to the pizza.

Very nice little pizzeria. Appetizers were very good and the pizza was very tasty. Bar was a little backed up so there was a little wait but not too bad. I'll go back.

Loved Lyle's! We went for lunch and got a half salad and pizza combo- enough food for two! The service was excellent and we loved the interior of the restaurant! Would highly recommend to all!

First things first, get a reservation. Just do it. The place is adorable and cute and these people are working their butts off, but there's only a certain capacity they can handle. And trust me, it's worth the additional slight hassle. Everyone from the person who sat us, took our order and the people who brought over the food and drinks were absolutely delightful. I started gelato sour and it was so tasty and unique. You can tell they took their time when creating this recipe. We ordered the Caesar salad and pesto roll to share for the table. The salad was huge and topped with a ton of freshly grated parm, Brussels and hazelnuts which all added some extra flavor to a historically dull (to me) salad. And the pesto roll?? I don't even love pesto but I branched out and I did not regret it. The roll dough was soft and perfectly cooked throughout m. Plus more parmigiano reggiano on top? Amazing. For our main, we shared the tre carne and added hot honey. Everything from the slightly chewy crust, the tangy tomato sauce and perfectly piled topping made for the most delicious combo. I'm not usually a crust person, but there was something to this dough that made me want to finish mine, and ask my husband for his pieces. I'd like to go back and try a few more options. The 2 sharables plus this pizza was just enough food for us to feel full but not overly stuffed. The only thing I regret is not taking pictures during my visit, but it was too good to wait! Dang, I guess I'll have to go back!

Really great sausage pizza and chopped salad for dinner. The pizza has a slightly sweet flavor offset by the banana peppers. And the chopped salad combination with fresh veggies and mountains of cheese is delicious. Do be aware that they only have one size of pizza, and they add a carry out fee of 15% for the kitchen staff.

Dare I say it... BEST PIZZA IN OMAHA. Y'all don't understand how many pizza places have disappointed me to get here... honorable mentions are Noli's and TimberWB. Don't even bother with pizza anywhere else!

The pizza is amazing! It is full of flavor, crunchiness and texture. They not only have pizza but we also got the pesto bread with olive oil which was to die for. The drinks are amazing and they have pretty decent variety. The service was good and attentive. The only complaint I have is the parking, it is kinda of small but you can park on the neighborhood and walk to it. Overall I recommend Lyle's to anyone who is looking for great pizza and drinks!

Lyles is my favorite pizza place in Omaha after a year of trying to find good pizza. My favorite pizza is Mellow Mushroom, and Lyles is not nearly as good, in my opinion. But, it's the best out of the many I've tried. Crust: This is the most important aspect for me. I want a substantial crust to hold the toppings without being excessively bread-y (like PH Pan or Chicago style). Also, it should have a nice bread-y, buttery, gooey crust on the rim of the pizza. This is where most fail. Lyles comes closer to succeeding than Pitch or Noli's, but doesn't get it right (IMO) like Mellow Mushroom. Sauce: Really nice tasty sauce. They dont skimp, nor do they put too much. Their sauce is not sweet, which is good. Cheese: IMO, cheese must fully cover the pizza completely inside the rim of the crust. It should be mozzarella, not buffalo. Lyles does a fine job here. They use high quality cheese that tastes great without being excessively oily. Toppings: Lyles has what I like in toppings. They taste good and hit the Mama Bear level of quantity (just right). When I can, I drive to Lincoln for Mellow Mushroom pizza. When I stay in town, I go to Lyles. I find it far superior to both Pitch and Nolis.
