Our Story
How Green Lantern Pizza Began
It all started in 2009 in a small kitchen on South Broadway Street in Decatur, Nebraska. Founder Marcus Webb had one simple idea: make the kind of pizza that brings people together — bold, honest, and made with real love. Green lantern pizza was born from that vision.
In those early days, Marcus hand-stretched every dough ball himself, sourced tomatoes from local farms, and spent weekends perfecting his signature sauce recipe. Word spread quickly. Neighbors, families, and food-lovers from across the county began making the trip to try the pizza everyone was talking about.
Today, Green Lantern Pizza serves thousands of satisfied customers every month, maintaining the same dedication to fresh, scratch-made ingredients that started everything. Our story is still being written — one delicious slice at a time.
