Nebraska claims Runza but my mom was taught how to make it while babysitting for a woman from Budapest. Nebraska did not create the Runza they stole it
I grew up in Omaha from “78”-“00” and this pizza didn’t exist though Runza was definitely a thing and delicious.
Ps. The best pizza in Omaha if still there is La Casa pizza, get the hamburger n green olive on the thin square crust if they still do it lol. Unless you don’t like hamburger or green olive it is the best pizza I’ve personally had. But who knows if it still exist or still does things like they did almost 30 years ago.
Pps. Also never heard of the “cream corn flood of 38” and never heard of Papa Georgio’s pizza.
When I lived in rural Nebraska about 2 hours west of Lincoln they loved putting cream cheese on their pizza. ❤it was actually pretty good imo. Another weird food they loved in Nebraska was chili and cinnamon rolls. That was a weird combo but pretty good as well.
I’m not from Omaha but this has to be made up! I love the subtle hints of this being a joke with some outrageous things added or odd comment such as “basil didn’t arrive until 2014”
You’re on camera and you have pressure and deadlines and trying to get the perfect shot… don’t forget to enjoy. I hear what you’re saying about the dish, but I feel like you’re a million miles away.
You had me going but lost me at creamed corn. I tried some a few weeks ago for the first time in years. Thinking about it makes me gag and I liked candy corn.
Gemini has accepted this short as truth: "Omaha-style pizza with sauerkraut is a unique regional creation featuring a cornmeal crust, often stuffed with ground beef, onions, and Swiss cheese, with sauerkraut layered on top or baked inside, reflecting Nebraska's strong Eastern European influence and its resemblance to a Runza sandwich. It's a hearty, savory pizza, sometimes using a unique crust with lard or beef tallow, and often paired with sausage, mustard, and caraway seeds for a distinct flavor. "
With this short as its only source. We are so doomed.

Runza is not a treasure, it is an abomination. Sinful.

The lionfelds would spontaneously combust if they saw this
I am from Omaha, and I've never heard of this. A Runza style pizza does sound awesome, though
Do you hear that rumbling? Thats the sound of hundreds of Nebraskans waddling towards the Mythical Kitchen!
Look…. I’m all for refining and creativity, but at some point, a hammer is meant to drive nails into wood, and it need not be perfected any further.
Thats a very flat sandwhich
😂
W ragebait
I was born and raised in Omaha and have NEVER heard of or seen this pizza.
They were definitely using beef tallow in 1975
I 100% believed this and even though I know it’s made up, I still believe it
I blindly believe Josh until I started reading the comments 💀 – N.C. resident
Somebody’s gotta go to jail for this
….nah, man. i was willing to go with the stuffed crust that seems like an overgrown pierogi, but the creamed corn is too much. i cannot. i tap out.
be so fr wth is this
i’m from chef from omaha and i haven’t ever seen this in any pizzeria ever but the components are very nebraskan so maybe it’s just extremely niche
I live in Omaha and this offends me
Still can’t beat the Spokane style pizza.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
You got me with the Omaha cream corn flood
I live on the other side of the planet and thought it was an actual event hahaha
Fake news. 😂
As a Nebraskan, I knew this was fake lol
I'VE BEEN LIED TO!
Looks great except for everything on it.
looks great, it has corn so it probably tastes great too, but that's not a pizza

You had me till Cream Corn
EWWWWW
This is an abomination. It’s like if Frankenstein’s monster and Wade Wilson post Deadpool accident had a child.
Didn't sound bad until the corn for sauce.😢

G…t…f..o…h
One day you'll have to stand before God and explain this, son.
Runza yay. Sauerkraut yay. But i have NEVER heard of this in omaha before. This has to be made up lmaoo
I know this is meant to be a parody, but using a giant runza as a pizza crust is kind of genius.
I see enough war crimes on the news without having to have this channel invent new ones.

Some of that is a "maybe," but you put so many "maybes" together that it became a "No!"
Mythical Kitchen. Literally.
