Dante is the real thing: a certified Neapolitan pizzeria, which means the pies follow the strict rules of the Vera Pizza Napoletana association — specific flour, specific tomatoes, 90 seconds in a blazing wood-fired oven. The result is a crust that’s blistered, chewy, and leopard-spotted, nothing like the floppy stuff most places call pizza.
The original Farnam Street location closed, but the west Omaha spot at Wright Plaza carries the torch. The menu is short and confident: a handful of classic pies, good salads, solid Italian wines. The Margherita is the test, and it passes.
Pizza obsessives already know. Everyone else: this is the benchmark pie in Omaha, and it’s not close.
