Davey Tavern

I was going camping with my boys, and we wanted to try something along the way to the lake. So we checked Unilocal to get the scoop on the places along the way, and I see this 5-​star review for a bar serving Pizza. It must be some pretty good pizza, we thought.
We showed up on a Friday night right around 5 pm, and it wasn’t too busy… just a few farmers and assorted worker types enjoying a cold one with friends at the end of the day. We ordered our 3-​topping pizza (Canadian bacon, beef, and sausage), and they put it together in this tiny little area just off to the side of the bar.
We waited about 15 – 20 minutes before our waitress brought us this super cheesy, really meaty pizza and set it in front of us. The crust was just right, and the sausage was wonderful. Thumbs up from the 3 of us.
I don’t know if I’d normally drive that far out of town for some pizza, but if you’re in the Davey area and hungry… the pizza at Davey Tavern is a tasty treat. They even make pies to go.

This is your classic small-​town bar. It’s an old brick building and the old (certainly original) wooden bar is cluttered with all sorts of dusty souvenirs and memorabilia. The service is always very friendly and fast, even if you’re not a local, and the beer is as cheap as you’d expect.
The surprise? They serve some of the best pizza in the Lincoln area. They even make their own dough, despite the tiny kitchen that is smaller than my bedroom closet. As a pizza connoisseur I can attest that these pies are at least as good as some that other people rave about (the Isles, Piezano’s, etc).
What’s more, it’s CHEAP — $ 12.99 for a large veggie that’s so big it will feed us for three days? Um okay. Awesome.
One caveat — bring a family here during big sporting events (i.e. Nascar or Husker football) at your own risk. It can get rowdy.
