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.

Scott,
I am sorry to read your review. We would like you to try it again, on us, so that we might give you the quality food that we can offer. Unfortunately, there is a margin of human error in all of life, including pizza. Perhaps we can have another shot at it.
And so you know, our toppings are all fresh! We have switched food distributors in the last month and I humbly believe you will be able to site the difference. Thank you for you input and please let me know when you would like to come in.

The pizza here is kinda crappy. The toppings, especially the vegetables, seem like pre-cut, packaged, processed junk from Sysco. However the atmosphere, live music, and great community feel almost make up for it. OK beer selection.
