Mama's Pizza has been located on Saddle Creek Road for over 25 years and has been family-owned from day one! On August 30, 1980, a family tradition and an Omaha institution was born when Jack and Rose Harwood acquired Mama's Pizza on Saddle Creek Road.  Before that day, Mama's Pizza had been more neighborhood tavern than restaurant.  Jack Harwood 's vision was to turn Mama's into a family-friendly restaurant in the St. Cecilia Cathedral parish; the parish Jack grew up in and where he went to high school. 

Over time, the new owners placed more emphasis on preparing and serving consistently great, homemade food at fair prices.  Jack and Rose Harwood introduced some of the family's favorite recipes:  Macaroni and Cheese, Onion Rings, Breaded Ravioli, Beef Goulash, French Dip, and Meatloaf.  When Jack and Rose decided to retire in 2000, the resaturant was purchased by the Harwood children, who have continued and expanded upon the family tradition of serving excellent pizza to the Omaha area.

Mama's Pizza is well-known for having some of the best food in Omaha. Our fresh dough, homemade dinners, fresh produce, and highest-quality ingredients are the reasons why Mama's Pizza is the best! The atmosphere is just like home and we want you to feel like you are part of the family. Come down and watch the game on tv or play some of the arcade games while you enjoy quality food.

Our pizza is definitely top-notch. We make our dough fresh every day and we roll it out fresh for your pizza. Our crust is medium in thickness- perfect for piling on the toppings, yet not too thick. We cook our beef fresh everyday. We use only the best Mozzarella cheese that browns nicely in our oven. Our fabulous onion rings are hand-breaded at least twice daily.

Homemade products are the cornerstone of our menu. Hand-breaded onion rings, marinara sauce, our famous cream of garlic dressing, the pork tenderloin sandwiches, chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, veggie and meat lasagnas, meatloaf, and many, many more items are made fresh daily right here at Mama's Pizza.  Be sure to try a salad with our world-renowned cream of garlic dressing... or try it with your onion rings!

We are pleased to announce that Mama's Pizza does not use any trans-fat oils.  And for our vegan friends, we are now serving Daiya brand vegan cheese, a dairy-free and allergen-free vegan cheese of the highest quality.  We also offer 10" gluten-free pizzas, perfect for anyone with a wheat allergy or who is on a gluten-free diet.

If this will be your first visit to Mama's PIzza, it is hard to go wrong by ordering our trademark Mama's Combo pizza- ground beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, black olives, and green peppers, topped with generous slices of Mozzarella cheese.
