The most common Internet password is “pizza123,” demonstrating America’s love for this Italian delight, as well as its complete inability to protect sensitive information. Wipe away insecurities with the savory slices of today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of casual Italian fare and drinks at any of The Pizza Gourmet Company’s three Omaha-area locations, on Ruggles Street, Pacific Street, or McDermott Plaza.
Offering a wide range of casual and quality fare, The Pizza Gourmet Company serves up tasty eats with more verve than John McEnroe volleying a bucket of meatballs. Patrons can select a wide range of menu items anchored by Brooklyn-style pizza that’s made from scratch daily with the freshest possible ingredients. Munch on creative pizzas such as the chicken and artichoke ($16.95, 16”) or fajita ($17.95, 16”) while also sampling delectable appetizers like chicken wings ($8.45 for 12) in 27 flavor varieties that include Jamaican jerk, chipotle, and honey garlic. Avoid hand-fed fare with pasta dishes that pleasantly smother grumbling stomachs with a pillowcase of flavor, such as baked spaghetti ($9.95) and alfredo mia ($9.95).
The Pizza Gourmet Company’s roots date all the way back to 1959, when the family-friendly dining spot first materialized in a corn field. To this day, patrons can still expect tantalizing grub while enjoying a welcoming sports-bar atmosphere and $1.25 domestic drafts every day. Additionally, a lunch buffet ($6.99) is available weekdays at the McDermott Plaza and Pacific Street locations to satisfy hunger-addled visitors and voracious, well-trained bears that prefer the taste of people food.
