Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom Now Open in Midtown Crossing, Omaha!

The new Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom is located at 220 South 31st Street, Omaha NE 68131.

Tuesday, May 5th was grand opening day for Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom in Omaha, NE.  The location is the Midtown Crossing area of Omaha, and is the anchor location in a multi use development which includes condos, restaurants, shops and is next to Turner Park, which has numerous outdoor events every year.  The restaurant has over 4,000 square feet of inside space and has an amazing wrap around patio with nearly 3,000 square feet of outside space wrapping around three sides of the building.

On the grand opening day, each guest received one free pizza, which is a great way to build the brand in the local community and provide an early opportunity to have people taste our amazing wood-fired pizza.  The grand opening in Omaha saw over 800 people served in just seven hours!

The franchisees for the Midtown Crossing location are passionate about giving back to their community, which fits closely with the values of Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza.  A portion of their profits will go to the Open Door Mission in Omaha, where “hope begins with a meal”.  Every day, the mission serves nearly 5,000 meals, offers over 900 shelter beds and provides 40 different programs.

This marks the first Taproom for Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza, which has wines, mixed cocktails, beer and ciders using a self-serve system.  The guest opens a tab, presents their ID, and is then given a bracelet enabled with an RFID chip.  They’ll then grab a glass, peruse the wall, and then activate the tap and pour their drink.  Tapologists are there to assist the Guest with the taproom wall and answer any questions they have about specific drinks.
