Orsi's Italian Bakery & Pizzeria
Best Italian Bakery in Omaha · NE
Little Italy's bread since 1919
Orsi's has been the heart of Omaha's Little Italy since 1919, a bakery, deli, and pizzeria the Orsi family has run for over a century. The brick ovens turn out crusty Italian bread by the loaf all morning and hand-shaped pizzas — sold by the pre-ordered sheet — in the afternoon, alongside imported cheeses and meats.
A neighborhood cornerstone in the Old World sense, Orsi's still bakes the bread that Omaha's Italian community has cooked from for generations.
