An ex-K.C. native that works with me took a few of us from work up to the P.S. over the lunch hour. It has now become one of our favorite lunch-time spots. Always great and friendly service and since I’m a thin and crispy crust type of guy, I love it. The Pink Stuff on the salads is amazing and I’ve never had a bad experience with the quality of the food. Though my buddy does tell me the ones in K.C. are a little different, it’s still some of the best pizza up here in Omaha. Beats Pizza Hut, Sam and Louie’s, and others anyday.

I am a proud Bensonite, The Pizza Shoppe & Pub may be a chain, but its always fresh, not that canned crap. The menu also has a bunch of local specialty pizzas. I know the cooks would never make anything that they wouldn’t eat and the servers would never serve anything they wouldn’t eat. If you’ve never been there or are passing through, go, its part of Omaha food everyone should try

My mom, Amy Ryan, owns the Pizza Shoppe. I have been there all my life, and im not bored. The food is healthy, so im not fat. ( Yhea!) People r nice, food is good, and you say it’s 2.5????? If i had to choose between the Shoppe and a HD tv, its the Shoppe. Go Ahead, go there, see 4 yourself. Ask if ‘Tag’ is there. I would be very happy 4 something positive.

I have known Amy for many years and I find her one of the hardest working women that I know. She is a sole proprietor of the Pizza Shoppe. Her benevolence to all is one of the reasons that people return to the “Cheers” of Omaha. The pizza is unique in that it isn’t loaded with fake meat or fake cheese. It doesn’t have to have a blotter on the bottom of the plate or in the box to soak up unnecessary grease. I have always found her ingredience to be fresh and the crust is downright delicious. It is made daily and as with any fresh yeast product, the conditions of the atmosphere can determine its tenderness. The Collective is a wonderful resource for the community and our “budding” artists can show their talents in many ways. Way to go Amy! Give our youth a chance to have a dream and a safe place for fulfilling their gifts. The combination of great food, comfortable, cozy atmosphere, child friendliness, and entertainment make this neighborhood restaurant a must to satisfy the craving for excellent PIZZA!

I make a trip from west O 1-2x/week just to grab some pizza and see how everybody is doing at The Shoppe; food is always good and consistent. Make a trip to Benson and catch a show too!

I have been enjoying the great pizza and service sense they first opened.. Must say I will keep returning. Amy, owner of pizza shoppe is one of the most personable and kindest person one could meet. Thanks Amy…

Also, this has no bearing on the service received at the Pizza Shoppe in Benson. The folks there are great. I just really hope that they work to improve the quality in what they do. Have also had issues with center loading of toppings (yes, I worked in pizza in college and hated when a pizza would come out with everything piled in the center and not all the way to the edge). One possible tip…..shake and bake the ground meats, vegetables, and cheese (i.e. measure out each, place in bucket type container, shake and then distribute on the pizza). Just a thought. This helps to resolve any potential of a center loaded pizza.

I fell in love with the Pizza Shoppe when first directed to their location. When weekend tripping to KC, we saw the location in Platte City, MO. To be honest, the quality of the pizza at this location made the Benson Pizza Shoppe PALE in comparison. I couldn’t believe the difference in the freshness of the vegetables on the pizza, the proper proofing and freshness of the dough/crust. It would seem that a trip back to the basics and a visit to the Platte City Pizza Shoppe would bring the level of the Benson location to heights never seen before. I don’t know if it is the manner in which ingredients are prepped or if it is simply a staff that cuts corners that makes the difference, but there is definitely something missing in Benson.
