For sure in the top 3 new york style pizza places in the Omaha area. Great crust mild sauce and fresh taste to all the toppings. Very nice service there too.

Good New York style pizza. I usually stick to ordering cheese or pepperoni. Crust has a great texture and the sauce is perfect.
One complaint I do have is that I called ahead one time to preorder so our pizza would be ready when we got there. We were 10 minutes later getting there than I anticipated. When they brought the pizza to our table it was cold. A hot cabinet for storing pizzas waiting on carryout is pretty standard in most pizzerias. So, I have no idea what moron decided to let ours sit out and get cold. I just took it home and threw it under the broiler for a few minutes.
My wife and I ate here for the first time back in 2007 or so. We had been a fan of other Don Carmelo's pizzerias around the Omaha area (156th & Center and 35th & Farnam - Both now closed). Typical family-owned business where one disgruntled relative left to open their own pizzeria under the same name and enjoyed limited success. This Elkhorn location has always sort of been "the rock" for Don Carmelo's. They do now have one open in Rockbook Village (108th & Center).
Restaurant has certainly lost a lot of its popularity over the last 5+ years. I'm not sure how they can reverse the trend and I worry they'll end up out of business. Perhaps a better location and invest a little more in quality staff.
After reading some of the reviews I was skeptical, but the food was pretty good. We had pizza, calzone, and pasta with meatballs. There were only two meatballs, but they were fantastic. The pizza was good, especially the chicken pesto. As far as the service went, the place is an "order at the counter" place where they just bring your order to your table. We had no issues.
This has to be one of the top 3 pizza places in Omaha. My family has been eating at Don Carmelo's for as long as I can remember. I'm glad I live near this location now so I can get their pizza whenever I have the craving. Check it out!
The pizza here is very delicious! We ordered a XL size pizza (NY Finest & All Meats combination). I would like to give a five star review but this pizzas is a little pricey. We tip $5 and our total bill for one XL pizza was $40.
I loved the crust and the ingredients on the pizza! In addition, they have very friendly staff and the restaurant was clean.
FYI, I ask the staff if they offer any coupons or promotion and they don’t.
I can’t comment on the service or atmosphere as we have only ever ordered pizza for delivery. Their pizza is delicious—but WAY overpriced ($30 for a large pizza!!!). Union Pizzeria is just as good and more affordable. We will be ordering from Union going forward for carry out. The outrageous price of Don Carmelo’s is not worth it. They also charge $5 for delivery and $2 for using a credit card.

Really cute little cafe type Italian restaurant. Very nice staff. Some arcade toy dispensers and games in the back which kids would love. Family friendly vibe for sure. The food was good as well. We’re from Lincoln and will visit again.
Great family-friendly restaurant! My 2 year old, who hardly eats, ate 3 slices of pizza! The whole family loves Don Carmelo's!
This was our first time ordering from here. Amazing customer service on the phone, super quick delivery and the food was amazing. Our entire family loved all the food from the pizza to the brownies! Would highly recommend.
Been eating this pizza for more than 35 years. It's just as excellent as it ever was. Sure, it's more expensive than the national chains, but it's WAY better!
The best and most authentic pizza I’ve tasted here in Elkhorn, NE.
Picked up for office lunch and it was close to our office in Valley and fast to pick up. Loved the 🍕
I ordered the "Carnivore" and "Combo chicken" pizzas with a large salad and "Zebra Brownie". The pizzas were delicious and the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food. I would recommend this for a big or small party or even lunch for a group of business partners or clients. Two thumbs up Don Carmelo's.
One of the best calazones I've ever had and will continue to go back for the lunch special.
