I’m pretty sure you guys know how much I love Omaha. My hope is that if you’re not from the area my blog makes you want to visit here. (And meet-up with me! I’m friendly! 😀 ) If you do live in Omaha, my hope is that you find I’m doing your city justice in my blog posts. And maybe introducing you to some new things happening around town from time to time.
Last week I, along with a group of Omaha bloggers, were invited to a pizza party at a new pizza place in town!
Have you ever heard of SPIN! before? They have locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, Orange County, San Francisco, Kansas City, and now Omaha! (If you live in one of these areas, make sure to check out my giveaway at the end of this post!)
If you live in Omaha, you’re aware of just how many pizza places we have. It feels like a new one is opening every week. What makes this one special? The menu was created by their James Beard Award winning chef Michael Smith. (He knows how to make some dang good pizza.) Everything is homemade, including their soups, dressings, croutons and spreads. They make their dough in small batches fresh every day and stone oven roast all of their vegetables and meats. Am I making you hungry yet?
Branding wise, they’re unique because of their spinning themed restaurant. Â The owners of SPIN! wanted to create pizza like they make in Italy. What they loved about Italian pizza was not only the taste but the fact that people biked to the pizzeria, drank a little wine, ate a little pizza, and then were off on the road again. They wanted to bring this experience to the United States. They offer bike rides and food specials every Tuesday at 6pm.
After hearing all this I absolutely could not wait to taste the food. We started off sampling their salads.
It was all yummy. I mixed everything together on my plate and started chowing down. I came straight from work and was hungry!
After the salad course we moved on to the pizza.
There were so many pizzas! They were all incredible and so unique. I love how many toppings they offer. The possibilities for pizza creation are virtually endless.
Another thing I love about SPIN! is how accommodating they are for absolutely everyone. They have gluten-free pizzas and dairy-free cheese pizzas. You can order pizzas without sauce or without cheese. You can literally find something for everyone here. Bryce, the General Manager, said their biggest goal is to make everyone happy. They realize people like different things and look for different things in their food, so they always aim to please. They want to make your pizza perfect for you.
So many delicious slices. I’m pretty sure I ate enough for two people that night. #worthit
After stuffing ourselves with pizza we moved onto dessert! No Italian-inspired restaurant would be complete without gelato! Their menu changes seasonally, so you’ll always find something new when you come to visit. At the recommendation of Bryce, I ordered the Blueberry Buttercookie. It had real blueberries in it and tasted like a blueberry muffin! I’m a fan.
I had to get a selfie. Please excuse the blueberry seed in my teeth. 😉
It was such a great night of good conversation and absolutely amazing pizza. Josh is already begging for us to go so he can try it all for himself. 😀
If you want to try SPIN! for yourself and live near one of their locations, you’re in luck! SPIN! was so kind to give me a $50 giftcard to send to a lucky reader. To enter simply answer one of my questions of the day. I’ll be picking a winner this Friday.
And if you’re in Omaha, SPIN! is having their ribbon cutting and open house today from 4-6pm. It’ll be a fun time and a great excuse to try out a delicious restaurant.
Questions of the Day: Does SPIN! sound like a pizza place you’d be interested in? What is your favorite pizza topping? Are you a gelato fan?
A big thanks to SPIN! for sponsoring this post!
I’d love to try it out!
My favorite pizza is a Greek pizza. I’ll eat anything on them though.
Mmm Greek pizza is good!
my favorite pizza topping is pineapple
I like pineapple too!
I love pizza so would love to try this new place!
It’s a great pizza place! I hope you get to try it soon!
This pizza looks amazing and I can’t wait to try this place out! I like all kids of pizza topping…and gelato is my fav!!!
The gelato is so good! And the pizza is even better!
I love gelato and would love to try Spin’s
Spin is so good! I hope you get to try it soon!
Let’s go there sometime!
Yes! Let me know when you’re free!
Im a Lincolnite and I would definitely make a trip up to Omaha for this place! Favorite pizza topping is extra marinara and crunchy veggies.
Mmm I love veggies on pizza!
Canadian Bacon, pineapple, cream cheese, and Jalapino. Ive eaten at the other fast pizza places, so I’m looking forward to trying Spin. Gelato has to be better than a brownie – right??
I mean I love brownies too! I’m an equal opportunity dessert enjoyer! 😀
I know I was just there but we eat there all the time. 🙂 I want to win some gift cards! haha Great to see you again!
It was so great to see you!I can’t wait for your photo class!

The pineapple pizza was really good!!
Love pizza! Actually seen someone raving about how good Spin! is on their fb page. Keep meaning to check it out!
Oh man you will love it! It’s good pizza!
That sounds like the perfect place for my husband and I to have a date night. We love that type of thin crust pizza and my husband likes veggie pizza so this place sounds like a winner to me. Plus Boulevard on tap, Plus Gelato! Yummy
Spin would definitely be a fun place for a date night! I love the atmosphere!
This sounds so good, My husband and I like veggie thin crust pizza and it sounds like this place would be great for that. All the salads looks amazing and with Boulevard on tap and gelato, it sounds like heaven!
Ohh I love thin crust pizza! And yes, my husband was very excited to see the Boulevard in my pictures too! 😀
Thanks for a great giveaway! Their pizza looks delicious, and I would love to try their gelato!
Their gelato is so good!
What a fun night! I have never heard of this!
It’s great pizza! It was a fun time. 😀
Yummm!!!
My favorite pizza is from a local place and it’s called the loaded baked potato. Sooo good.
Oh man a loaded baked potato pizza sounds delicious!! I’ve been to a New Haven, CT pizza place that had potato pizza and it was yummy!
Looks like so much fun, and everything looks delish 🙂
I had a blast! The pizza was so good!
Always love pizza, so I’d definitely try.
I love pizza!

Aww thanks girl! I love getting to live in Omaha!
I would love to checkout the SPIN in Dallas. My favorite pizza topping is fresh spinach!
I love spinach on pizza too!
My favorite pizza topping is PEPPERONI! Gotta stick with the classic. 😉
I haven’t really had gelato before, but your pictures make it look delicious. So I may just have to change that soon…
It’s so good! It’s like a really creamy ice cream! 😀
This place seems so fun, and gelato too!!!

Can’t go wrong with pizza and gelato. 🙂

I love the pollo chevre. And also the spinach salad!

It was such a great time eating super delicious pizza!
I’m officially drooling – YUM! Everything looks so amazing. Fingers crossed they work their way up to Michigan eventually! 🙂
That would be awesome if they made it there! It’s good pizza!
As a Dallas resident I am excited to try something you recommend but is near me! My favorite pizza topping is normally something simple like a margherita pizza, or onions and pineapple together (like sweet and sour.
I love margherita pizza! You’ll have to let me know what the SPIN! pizza in Dallas is like!! I’m curious if it’s any different from the one we have here in Omaha!
Looks amazing!! Now I want pizza!!

I was so excited when I found out we were having pizza for lunch today at work! haha
Pepperoni is my favorite topping, especially when it is a little burnt around the edges. We make it to Omaha twice a year, so we would definitely give Spin a try.
Oh how awesome you get to come to Omaha so often! Where do you live?
I live in Lincoln, just down the road/Interstate from you.
Oh nice! I love Lincoln! Josh and I always have a blast when we go there!
I love pizza. I’m only about 10 minutes away from your new location. I can’t wait to try some.
Yummm I will definitely have to check this place out! We are moving back in June if you guys want to meet up (if Josh still needs to try it)! 🙂
I love good pizza and salad. That blueberry gelato looks fabulous! We do not live near a SPIN, but we are in Kansas City multiple times a year and would love to try it! Have a great weekend.
Oh man the gelato was SO good!
