A Slice of Statewide Recognition for Black Market Pizza

Last Updated 9/9/2026

There’s another reason to make your way to the Trackside District—and this one comes by the slice!

Black Market Pizza, located at 1354 27th Avenue in downtown Columbus, has earned a spot on a recent list highlighting 12 Nebraska pizzerias making the state a better place for pizza lovers.

The statewide list, published by Decor Hint, takes pizza lovers on a trip across Nebraska, featuring restaurants from Omaha and Lincoln to Kearney, Grand Island, Norfolk, Burwell and beyond. And right there among them is our own Black Market Pizza in the Trackside District.

Creativity Gets Noticed

What caught the writer’s attention? Black Market Pizza isn’t afraid to do pizza a little differently.

The article highlights the restaurant’s Mexican-inspired pizza featuring a guacamole base and Oaxaca cheese—a great example of the creative flavors that have helped Black Market Pizza stand out.

The article also makes an observation we especially like: great, innovative pizza isn’t limited to Nebraska’s largest cities. Places like Black Market Pizza are giving pizza lovers a reason to explore communities like Columbus, too.

And we couldn’t agree more.

Another Reason to Explore Trackside

Recognition like this is about more than one great pizza. Locally owned restaurants help give downtown districts their personality. They create places to meet friends, enjoy a night out and discover something you may not find anywhere else.

Black Market Pizza is one of the many locally owned businesses that makes the Trackside District worth exploring—and we love seeing a downtown Columbus business receive statewide attention.

So, whether Black Market Pizza is already one of your favorites or you haven’t tried it yet, perhaps this is your sign to put pizza night on the calendar.

Congratulations to Black Market Pizza on the recognition!
