Johnny Ricco's Brooklyn Pizza

The best thin crust pizza in town. I am a new fan for life. I've had Johnny Ricco's a few time around town and tried another flavor this weekend. Perfect thin and crispy, great sauce to topping to crust ration. Huge slices for a great price. Friendly service and super fast to receive.

Johnny Riccos has been a regular at my offices Food Truck Wednesday event tor the past few years...I've seen them at every big event in Omaha from Midwest Fest to Junkstock. I've never not had a great experience. The slices are HUGE! The toppings are high quality. I think I've tried all the options and I can't find a fave. They're all great!They're fresh and fast; always gonna get your food before the rest of trucks if you're at an event. Big Bonus for me: they're hilarious. Great sense of humor. No rushing you. And always putting the customer first. Military discount and...there are Veterans working amongst the truck. BL: Surprisingly good flavors coming from people whose palette normally includes gourmet selections amongst the green, red and brown crayons!

Johnny Ricco's is the only mobile option for Brooklyn style pizza in Omaha. This food truck has been around since 2015 and is veteran run. According to their website, their menu rotates seasonally. Easiest way to know where they will be is by checking their website and Facebook!Tried this pizza today at a work event. The Ricco's Red pizza came out quickly and had a beautiful pesto drizzle. The crust was perfectly thin and the sauce was a great balance of sweet and savory. My one complaint is how much oil was visible in the pizza. I definitely blotted off the excess. Otherwise, it was an incredible pizza and one slice was enough for a meal. The cannoli dessert was super satisfying and was on par with the cannolis I tried in Little Italy in the Boston area. I'd definitely get Johnny Ricco's again!

Johnny Ricco's rolled up with their food truck to the conference hotel I was staying at last weekend. I only had an hour in between events at the conference, so it was perfect to just grab a slice and then get back to conferencing. I went ahead and just got a plain slice of cheese with a side of marinara and a water. For that, it was $11. Now, I'm not saying you can't charge a good $7+ for a slice of pizza, but it had better be mind-blowing pizza since two pieces would be the cost of a full pie most places. For me, it was just alright. Hit the spot and was tasty, but for the high price tag, not exactly my favorite. If I hadn't need to stay close to the hotel, I probably would have gone with another lunch option in the area.

My new favorite pizza in town!To be honest, a few years ago I would have scoffed at the thought of liking pizza from a food truck. Johnny Ricco's has changed my opinion of that!I ordered just the plain NY cheese slice, since I believe that is the basis of all good pizza joints. I was immediately transported to some of my favorites back east: perfect crust, savory sauce, cheese and a dusting of Italian seasoning. I loved it so much, I follow Johnny Ricco's on Facebook; they are great about posting each week where they can be found in town. The delicious smell as you walk by is dangerously tantalizing. If you think this is just another pizza, don't pass it by! These guys know what they are doing, and it's excellent!

Love Johnny Rocco's pizzas! The food truck comes to my work at Fidelity every few months and you can bet I'll be the first in line! My favorite is the Caprese!! It is a slice of Italian greatness! It's topped with buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, and wait for it... basil pesto and balsamic! Yum!! This colorful creation is clearly a staple in my book! See photo of this savory slice!!

I really wanted to try this food truck but they want $5.50-$6.50 for one slice of pizza. That's outrageously expensive. It doesn't come w chips, salad, or a drink either. I will be passing on this money guzzling pizza truck until they come out w a better priced menu.

I believe this is a fairly new food truck and it's also a new vendor at my workplace. They have a variety of specialty pizza by the slice, a meatball sub, Italian sausage & peppers, wraps and cannoli for dessert. I opted for a slice of the Brooklyn Blue (pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onions, mushrooms, peppers, olives) and it was pretty huge served on a paper plate. They were doing a brisk business but the wait was only 5 minutes or so. Most entrees cost around $6.00 and a cannoli for dessert was $3.00 extra. Pizza crust was thin and a bit burnty. Still delicious! I would definitely try it again (buffalo chicken and jalapeno popper sound interesting!). I'd probably pass on the cannoli next time. The shell was a bit too crunchy and the filling had a grainy sweetness rather than the smoother consistency I prefer. They post their location schedule on Facebook and Twitter.

Johnny Riccos:When someone hears the idea of Pizza from a food truck, the idea of conveyor belts of reheated frozen cardboard can be a pretty common thought. After all. It's what fast food giants love to do. It would be really, really easy to take what works, repackage it, and sell it on a local scale.Not Johnny Riccos.The truck pulled up around 11:30 and I inserted myself into the line around 12. A fast line is usually a concern for a food truck. I've eaten at quite a few where slow cookers, heat lamps, and warming trays are the common norm. I was shocked to see an entire, full sized pizza oven shoved and held down in this truck, while one of the rotating staff was tossing dough in the air and spreading ingredients on prepared crusts. The rate that pies were coming out were only matched by the number of excited customers leaving the line. While the cost was more comparable to a sit down restaurant, I have to admit that I think the price is justified. If the marinara sauce is using 'homemade' as a buzzword, then I am completely fooled. The sauce tastes, looks, and smells homemade. It has just the right amount of zest and the cheese doesn't overwhelm the slice. There's plenty of crust at the end, which makes the slice perfect for eating "New York" style. I tried the pepperoni and one of their specialty slices the "Blake's White" which is reminiscent of a Cheesy Garlic bread. Their 'FAQ' in the window recommended their sauce as a side, and I will admit, that it almost needs it. The slice is very rich and needs the tomato to cut through.One thing that will be unsettling to picky eaters will be the grease on the pizza, but this is pretty usual on a New York style slice. This happens because of the heat being applied on both the top and bottom sides of the pizza releasing the butter fats in the cheese. There's no "Extra grease" applied here before the cooking process. I say this because I watched them make it and would love to dispel any possible concern, not because I doubted their process. With this being a food truck, pushing to make pizza as quickly as possible, it's not surprising there's some grease, but my experience was NOT hampered by this. Instead, I felt like I was in Brooklyn.Given Omaha's self-proclaimed 'Little Italy' sector of town, I decided to try their Homemade Cannoli as well. Many establishments in town don't go the full distance for an authentic cannoli and use a pudding rather than a sweet ricotta. I won't waste your time describing it poeticly. It's amazing. You'd do yourself a disservice not to try one.Johnny Riccos is a must hit Omaha Food Truck, with a product that I'd consider comparable, if not better than Zios, Lighthouse Pizza, or Piezone Pizzaria. A solid 4.5/5

This place is a food truck. I caught them outside of Green Plains in the Aksarben Village on a Wednesday, and I ordered Da Meat. The size of the pizza is a bit overwhelming. It took up an entire paper plate and then some. If you're a fattie, like me, then this is all good. It was greasy new york awesomeness, and I enjoyed every bite.
