Breadeaux Pizza

Post by wigster »

After leaving Council Bluffs, for unknown reasons, Breadeaux Pizza is finally going to come back.
They put up a couple of adds in the paper looking for hires; IE cooks, managers, drivers, etc.

Many might remember their old location on the corner of 8th St and Broadway, which happened to be north of Broadway where Papa John's is currently setting up shop.

Their new location is in the strip mall, which also is home to Quizno's - Across from the old mall (Omni Centre).

They already have a sign up. And it looks like construction is well on its way. It should be up and running before Papa John's is finished.

So, the downtown area will have a Godfather's, Papa John's, Pizza Counter and now Breadeaux Pizza.

During college, my aunt worked at the breadeaux on broadway, next to what is now "lil bros" tattoo shop. She'd always bring us pizzas and we thought it was the |expletive|! I haven't had one in forever, i think there is a breadeaux in des moines or iowa city (can't remember which) that we wanted to go to when visiting friends, but never got a chance. Now i wont have to drive across the state to see if my memory serves me correctly :)

You did not have to travel so far. For years there had been one in Crescent, and one in Shenandoah.
I believe there was one in Atlantic and Red Oak, but it has been awhile since I was in those towns for more then a few minutes.

Cool! Thanks wigster, I happened to see their sign this weekend and was wondering when they were going to open.

While growing up in fremont, I thought they had the best pizza and Fremont has a few good places

like Santa Ana's, Pizza Hut, (use to have, but no more) Little Caesar's, Godfather's, (use to have but no more) Dominoes..

There is a newer chain of pizza store that I would love to see come into this market and that is Gambino's pizza that is really good pizza!

By the way, as an old timer, I think I know why Breadeaux Pizza kind of disappeared. They used to have at least a half dozen locations in the Omaha metro, and they had fantastic pizza. Well then news broke (maybe 20 years ago?) that the founder of the chain, or one of the key partners, I don't exactly remember the details, was arrested for a major problem he had related to children. Well, they say any publicity is good publicity. Not THAT kind of publicity, however. It nearly killed the chain, which originated in NW Missouri. Apparently they have new owners now. I would like to be able to sample their pizza again. The pizza crust is awesome.

Hey, I like Lansky's...sometimes. :lol:

Breadeaux Pizza returns to C.B.
It's deja vu for Breadeaux Pizza in Council Bluffs. After 15 years of being gone from the area, the original French Crust is back. This time in a new location and with a new owner.

A chance meeting with Randy Jacobs parents and Breadeaux' founder led to Jacobs becoming a franchise owner.

"It was dumb luck, my dad and his wife were at their place in Lake of the Ozarks, and (they said) the Breadeaux Founder walking his dog," said Jacobs. . . .

He said he plans to add pictures in the front and a menu board, by the time they have their grand opening in January. . . .

Being a franchise owner, Jacobs has bragging rights to Pottawattamie, Douglas and Sarpy counties, if he wants to add another Breadeaux to the area. Opening another location is a dream of his.

"Our hope is to do well enough here, to open one in Omaha, but our first choice is to open up another one in Council Bluffs," emphasized Jacobs. . . .

Breadeaux employs 28 people and is open Sunday thru Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday thru Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. . .

Wow. You have really raised the bar high with such a comparison! Lansky's is certainly better than eating cardboard, or carpet tacks.

anyone had breadeaux yet? we were going to eat there tonight, but opted for papa john's (not my choice, though not terrible). I've always thought they were too close to domino's for my taste. Does anyone here remember the noid?

There was one near 46th and Harrison that only closed within the last 7-8 years. It was okay.

Is there still a Breadeaux Pizza in Ashland and Syracuse?

We used to eat at the one in Olde Towne Bellevue in the 1980s fairly regularly. I loved their pocket pizzas (basically, a calzone).

I am sure there is still one in Ashland. No idea on Syracuse

Quick edit. The Breadeaux web site show both locations as being there.


Ashland
1425 Silver St Ashland, NE 68003


Syracuse
1111 Park St Syracuse, NE 68446

The Ashland one is still operational and was open when I was in Ashland on Saturday. Have to say that it has to be a money maker given that there are no other restaurants in Ashland. They do have to compete with Casey's pizza. It amazes me that the city of Ashland can't support a bar with food when other cities near by like Mead and Memphis manage to do so.

This brings back memories from the late 80’s. I remember Breadeaux Pizza in Olde Town Bellevue.. There is/was a bar across the street that served excellent fried chicken and jo jo’s. I forget the name of that place though...

I suppose being in Ashland, they're used to picking up the phone to accept orders. I tried to look at their menu, and it says Ashland doesn't support online ordering at this time.

I'm glad to see they can keep going - from the few pics I could see, they look to be very similar to what a Little Caesars Pizza looks like.

I'd probably give it a whirl if it was nearby. Wouldn't make the drive to grab one, though.

It's more like Casey's, from what I remember. I remember it being super good too

I really like Breadeaux. About once every 2 years or so, I'll get a craving and drive out to Ashland for it. But, it's a good 45 minute drive for me. So, I have to have a reason to be out there. I certainly wish there was one closer to me.

Lots of nostalgia for Breadeaux overall. Used to frequent the one on 42nd and L St. in the late 80's to early 90's.

I stole this from some Facebook page. I completely forgot it used to be spelled Breadeaúx Pisa. They had several locations as listed in this image.

I'm fairly certain there used to be one off like 41st & Harrison too.

41st and Harrison is correct. It was combined with a Goodrich Dairy.

My mom and grandma frequented the 42nd and L St. Location. It was in the now razed plaza with Hootch Hutch, an insurance agency, and for a time, a video store. I used to eat pizza then go to the video store and pick out a couple movies for the weekend, and take the leftovers home. Definitely miss being able to readily get Breadeaux.

We used to frequent the Breadeaúx Pisa in Olde Towne Bellevue in the 1980s. My sister had dance class at Entenman Studio of Dance and so we'd all go down there and chill out while she did her dance thing and then we'd stop and get pocket pizzas (a small calzone) at Breadeaúx Pisa on our way home. After Breadeaúx Pisa moved out it became a Schlotzsky's for a little while which was a bummer because, as a kid, pizza was so much more exciting than sandwiches. Last time I was in a Breadeaux Pizza was the one in Ashland like a month ago. Pocket pizzas are no longer on the menu.
