I haven't been there for some time, but I remember it being an outstanding place to eat, great people work there, very efficient and polite , If not mistaking, it's a family owned business
A great family owned restaurant. Very large with various seating areas. We had a table in the bar. The service was excellent and very knowledgeable about the beverage selection and the history of the restaurant. Our pizza was served quickly and was excellent. We've had takeout pizza from here as well and both were excellent.
Food was amazing. Most on the menu are homemade. We had the margherita pizza, chicken parm, and the spaghetti. Amazing. The home made Italian dressing was aaaaaaaaawesome. Service was great. Personal service. The waiter we had was knowledgeable about the menu. Ambiance seemed like a small hole in the wall place from the outside, but a different look on the inside. Looks fancy, but casual attire is appropriate. Lastly, the best $60 bill I ever had for pizza, pasta, chicken parm, salad, cheese cake and coffee. It was well worth it. A family owned business that does it right.
Great pizza, great chicken and great atmosphere. It is always a great experience coming to this long standing restaurant. Thank you pizza king for some great food and memories.
Finally! I eat at the CB legend: Pizza King. I've eaten pizza all across America and no one has a crust like Pizza King's. Not only is it thin, but it has a cracker-like quality. They pile on the toppings and the sizes of the pizzas are huge. They also serve other dishes besides pizza. And an expensive wine list. The decor is from the 70's and 80's. Cloth tablecloths. N.B. The pizza prices are a real bargain compared to Omaha.
I actually cannot believe that I have yet to write a review about this place. I was introduced many years ago to pizza from the Pizza King by my friend who is the daughter of the owners and works in the bar a few nights of the week. It was the first time I every had bbq sauce and cream cheese on a pizza and I learned I loved it. Since then I make regular stops into the restaurant to eat and have always been happy with their food - the spaghetti, the pizza and I believe I have tried a few other options over the years, but one of the things that is a favorite for me and keeps bringing me back is the lasagna. If you haven't eaten at this establishment, you are missing out
Thin Crust Pizza!!!! This pizza was packed with toppings - beef, sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms and yes green olives. The olives give that splash of saltiness to this that makes the pizza. The service was on par and had a great time.
Went to Pizza King on a Saturday night, solo, for prime rib. Wait was 25 minutes even if I was willing to sit at the bar, which I was. To their credit, they were upfront about the wait time and it was accurate. Like stepping back in time 40 years, except for the ultra-casual dress of most of the clientele. Highlight: The prime rib itself was excellent. Generous, juicy, flavorful. Bread and salad were OK. Bread fresh. Salad on the small side, but Italian dressing that accompanied it was good. Mashed potatoes and green beans OK but nothing special. Old Fashioned cocktail was disappointing. More like a Shirley Temple than an Old Fashioned, at least to my taste. That cocktail needs a really solid shot of bourbon to offset the sweetness.
A Council Bluffs staple for decades, Pizza King is where my mother's family has events. It's been awhile since I actually sat down in the restaurant. The bad - The decor is in desperate need of an update. Everything is late 70s or early 80s at best. Therefore it doesn't feel as fancy as it once did. We ordered side salads and it was unappealing. It cost $5 for a small amount of lettuce, a slice of tomato, two cucumber slices, and way too much dressing. The great - The pizza! They have almost perfected their thin crust pizzas. The pepperoni is a classic and the Bullseye is a masterful BBQ chicken pizza with jalapeños cream cheese. In conclusion don't expect the finest dining decor, avoid the overpriced salad, and indulge yourself in their legendary pizza.
