I've had two recent experiences here that have been rather disappointing. In our group of six several were not happy with the food and we all thought the service was poor. Three members of our group ordered Chicken Alfredo, and all said that it was very dry with so little sauce that it looked like no sauce at all. Two requested extra sauce from our server and one just didn't eat hers at all. It took quite some time for someone from the kitchen to bring the extra sauce, by which time the others had finished eating. They were all charged for the extra sauce, even though it had been missing from their entrées. The server hadn't checked back with us or offered refills. Two in our group ordered salads, and they were happy with them. I observed two employees sitting on a bench, having a conversation while it appeared that tables needed to be bussed and cleaned. We waited a long time for our server to bring our checks, and then longer for our payments to be taken. I also had a recent experience with a carry out order where some of the items I had ordered were missing when I picked up the food, even though I had been charged for them. I was picking up an order to take to work so I didn't have time to return and pick up the items missing from the order. Crafters has a great atmosphere but improvement is needed in both food and service. read more

Crafters pizza and Drafthouse is outstanding We like to order pick up from this place and when you get there, it's always ready. The staff is friendly and helps you get your order quickly. The orders are always right and everything is as it should be and it's a great value for the money read more

Really good pizza and a wide drink selection. The staff were friendly and attentive. The TVs were all sports, all the time, which isn't necessarily my thing. But they were all on mute with classic rock playing, which was more my thing. Not fancy by any means (well, maybe fancy like Applebees), but a good place for pizza and brews. read more

We finally had a salad at crafters that wasn't made with bad lettuce! We ordered the spinach salad and it was wonderful! It is $10.99. It comes with spinach, applewood bacon, sliced mushroom, mushrooms, and goat cheese. It is tossed in honey mustard vinaigrette. It is very good. The spinach was good quality. On previous occasions, we have ordered salads with the mixed greens. The mixed greens were either rusty or the rib part of the lettuce. But the spinach salad was excellent. We recommend giving it. Asses are normal, we ordered the pepperoni and sausage pizza, but Tavern style. Tavern style is their thin crispy crust. If you like a crispy, cracker like crust, then order it extra crispy. It is great in our opinion. The 14" pizza is $15 and then add $2.50 per topping. With the salad, this was enough for two people with enough to take home as leftovers. Service was good and attentive. Our bill was accurate. We always sit in the bar area. You can sit at the bar counter or they also have high top tables. Some of the high tops have a booth on one side. There are plenty of TVs to see any local or national sporting events. They normally do not have sound on any of the TVs. They play music throughout the restaurant, a medium loud volume. You can still carry on a conversation, but it is not what I would call soft music. All that being said, during big local games (Colts, Pacers), they do play the sound of the game through the speaker system. During Colts games, they also serve from their social happy hour menu. read more

Well, nothing like finally going to a place that lives up to your expectations and it's a WIN! The service was quick and responsive even on a busy night. The food was timely and delicious . Definitely, try the dry rub on the wings and explore the different sauces. The pizza was light and not weighed down. This place gets a thumbs up! To tie in a pleasant sports bar atmosphere! read more

This review is for delivery! Fantastic option to feed a group. I love how the menu has lots of options and everything we ordered was delicious. We got a veggie pizza with the hand tossed crust and a meat pizza with the tavern style crust, bbq boneless wings, a Greek salad and a buttered pasta for the kids. The pizza was AWESOME. I wasn't sure what to expect with tavern crust but it was thin and crispy. The hand tossed was soft and doughy. The salad was fresh and the dressing was the perfect Greek vinaigrette. The bbq sauce on the boneless wings was on the thicker side and super sticky and sweet. Classic bbq flavor and super good. The chicken itself was super crunchy! A great plate for sharing. I was super grateful this restaurant was open a little on the later side to deliver. Highly recommend! read more

I've been here twice now. They were very busy each time. The pizza was awesome, and the Beer Cheese Queso and Breadsticks were fantastic. The beer flavor isn't too overwhelming in the queso. Just the right amount. read more

AMAZING FOOD + SERVICE!! Get to this place FAST! Your belly will thank you! We had the breadsticks with queso, the Thai Island pizza ( so good) , a Doctor Jones pizza ( a pepperoni lovers dream), a house salad with house dressing, and the Kate's hot cookie with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. This place gets a five outta five stars from us! read more

If you can't tell already, we eat a lot of chicken wings and love a good pizza--Crafters hits both perfectly. The smoked wings are fantastic, especially with their monthly rotating sauce (a fun excuse to keep coming back). The pizza is superb, and the cold garlic dip on the side is phenomenal--exactly what every crust needs. The bar is another reason we love this place, with a solid bourbon selection and even a few West Coast IPAs, which makes my born-and-raised Vancouver guy very happy. Great food, great drinks, and easily one of our favorite casual spots." read more

Our pizza was HUGE! I don't know what I was expecting, but it was way bigger than I imagined--and I'm not mad at it. It was my first time trying Crafters, and we decided to order in while watching the Pacers game. We got the NYC pizza, which is basically a margherita pizza, plus an order of mild wings. The wings were way better than I expected! The pizza was pretty good too--thin crust, although I believe they also offer regular hand-tossed. I'd definitely order from here again... and next time, I might add pepperoni to the NYC! read more

When you are a visitor and you get great food and fantastic service, you KNOW you've found a winner. Our server was Javy. Wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun, so that's a great start. My bride and I know quite a bit about beer. We also have a "nose" for pizza, if you know what I mean. We intentionally went on NFL draft night and while the NHL and NBA playoffs were going on. The atmosphere was PERFECT! We easily carried on a conversation while we enjoyed our beers then dinner. If you could paint a picture of the perfect "first visit" to a restaurant you've never been to before, THIS WAS IT! Great food, great environment, fantastic service - what more could you ask for? Don't miss the place! read more

This place is amazing! We went on a Sunday morning shortly after they opened. The owner came to our table and told us all about the restaurant. Him and his wife love to travel and many of the pizzas on the menu are inspired by the places they go. High suggest trying this place. read more

Crafter's Pizza lives up to all the great hype. We went over to check out the Colts game day specials. When you walk through the door, the aroma of baking pizza dough is intoxicating. The bar/dining room is upscale with lots of tables. We sat in the bar. TV monitors were playing various football games. The bar is locally owned. They offer several Sunday drink specials and I selected the $5 Bloody Mary which comes with a beer chaser. (They really know how to treat a girl). My husband had a craft IPA that was on tap that he liked. John was our server and he was attentive, friendly and helped explain various dishes. He checked on us regularly. The bar was hopping but they seemed to have enough staffing to keep people happy. My husband had a small Grandma's Money pizza. The pizza was top with a delicious blend of sausage, roasted tomatoes, mozzarella balls, prosciutto, pomodoro sauce and more. The crust has a great flavor and texture. I had the BT Wedge salad which is an upscale version of the classic salad. The dressing is fresh made with lots of blue cheese. Two wedges of young romaine are covered with dressing, bacon, roasted tomatoes and pickled onions. The salad is filling and delicious. We loved our visit so much that we joined the Club. Club members get emails describing specials. Parking is a bit cramped in the strip mall. read more

Went into Crafters on a busy college football Saturday and it was definitely a good time! Big TVs everywhere with every game on & of course the AMAZING smell of pizza was in the air. What else could a guy ask for? I don't remember the two pizzas we got specifically, but I do remember they were two of their specialty ones! We also got an order of fried ravioli which was also very good! Fun sport to hang out on a gameday! Will definitely be back! read more

The place was packed and buzzing on a Sunday and I expected there would be a wait but we got seated right away. Our server Mallory came pretty quick to grab our drink orders. Since the place was so packed I thought that food might take long, so we ordered breadsticks with queso. The queso came in less than 10 mins. The breadsticks were slim and light and the queso was a perfect pairing with it. We ordered two 14" - Grandmas Money and Doctor Jones to share between three of us and were again surprised by how quick the pizzas came in. Also the pizzas were loaded generously! It made my heart sing to see such generous toppings and the crust was not crisp yet light. My youngest had the kids order of pizza and finished it. I also ordered a happy hour margarita - decent. Came here for Pizza and was absolutely better than expected. Good sports bar vibe and quick service to top it off. read more

I've always enjoyed crafters food + pizza, but this time we did take out and hit a few snags. I placed the order online and when I came to pick it up they had no record of my order in the system. I had to pull up my order on my phone and then they went in the back and it was there. Not sure what the disconnect was there, but if you order online just beware this could happen. An added annoyance was that the 2 girls at the carry out desk (high school age) were both super snotty and did not like that they were being interrupted from their conversation. Overall, food is good, customer service can be spotty. Worth trying if you haven't had already! read more

Moving from 3 starts to 5 'cause it feels right after two additional great experiences! I now know to avoid the salads but their pizza remains top-notch. Most recently had the Margarita and my husband is in love with the Garden Stand. Feel compelled to add that we consistently get great service even during the busiest times. The only downfall from my last experience was a plate that had dried up food but our server quickly rectified the issue. We will be back on a consistent basis. read more

Generally speaking, I don't gravitate toward "bar food" these days, but when I do feel in the mood for it, I want to go somewhere that adds something special to what would otherwise be a somewhat worn-out food genre. I think Crafters achieves that goal of going over and above the call of duty. I had their Zesty Baked Ziti this time, but I usually gravitate toward their pizza, which is always great. Their cauliflower thin-crust options are particularly good; I wasn't able to tell the difference between that and a traditional flour dough crust. Service was truly exceptional during last night's visit. The place was packed, but our server never disappeared, and I never got the impression that she was hopelessly trying to service 20+ tables simultaneously. That's a major pet peeve of mine in the post-Covid world, when restaurant managers sometimes choose to staff thinner than a layer of varnish. And, there were no less than two senior-level managers who dropped by, to ask us how everything was. I like that. The only slightly negative aspect of our visit was the parking situation. The strip mall where Crafters is located is perpetually packed with cars. I'm pretty sure the time zone on my phone changed during my long walk from the car to the restaurant. That's not the restaurant's fault, but it's something you should definitely plan ahead for. read more

We had not been in awhile but the service and food are still great. I love their Sunday specials and had a beer mimosa for $5 and my husband had a delicious spicy Bloody Mary along with a small bottle of beer for $5. He was quite happy. I ordered my normal personal Jumbo Shroom pizza filled with mushrooms and it was very good. John was our server and did a great job. We sat in the bar area so we were able to catch part of the Colts game. Drinks, pizza and football- what more could you want? read more

After waiting about an hour for a table it was well worth the wait! It was extremely busy a great place to go with friends, family and sports teams meals. Our server was phenomenal he was so happy and made our dining experience that much better. He was super attentive and anything we needed it was out within seconds no matter how busy he was and his recommendation on food were also great! We started with appetizers we got the chips with the 3 dips (cheese, onion dip & garlic) extremely delicious in which we had to ask for extra chips it was too good! For mains we got pizza, calzone and pasta dish to share. Portion sizes are large so sharing is recommended in my opinion with leftovers to still take home! It was a great environment to watch sports - we were watching the world series game and there were plenty of screens to watch whichever game you wanted! Very excited to come back and try more menu items everyone was so delicious! read more

This was our first time here and definitely won't be the last!!! We got seated immediately, the hostess was super kind and offered suggestions. Our waiter was very attentive and the owner even came to our table. It's the little things like that, that leave a good impression. The food was also super duper delicious! We ordered the tennessee honey wings and the memphis chicken pizza and the cheese curds. All super delicious. We went to go see some baseball and the waiter was kind enough to change the tv to watch some Dodger baseball. Overall, we loved the environment and will definitely be coming back soon!!! read more

Had the 3 cheese bread which is a delicious pizza crust type bread topped with a cheesy mozzarella blend, herbs, and drizzled with garlic oil. Also included is a very good flavorful marinara sauce that goes perfectly with the bread. Also had a cheese pizza which was very good, but honestly I was kind of filled up by the appetizer. Service was fast & friendly. Many TVs showing at least 5 different channels such as ESPN, ESPN 2, and CBS Sports Network. Open until midnight on Fridays, but the kitchen closes at 11:00pm. read more

This is a crowded spot on a Saturday night. Parking is at a premium with many spots marked for carryout or 30 minutes. We were seated at a high top in the bar near the register. This could have been busy and hectic, but the waitstaff traffic was efficient and not disruptive to our conversation or meal. There are huge TVs everywhere. A great place to gather and to watch the game or games. Especially the bar. The noise level is not bad either. You can hear your party just fine. The cauliflower crust pizza was delicious. I accidentally became a convert to this mode of pizza and got hooked. I would have to say this one is one of the best. They have a number of traditional crust styles, and all of them are well done so you can pick your favorite. The toppings and options are fresh and well portioned. The salads are good too. Beer choices are good and you can find some unique options. We will be returning. And probably will opt to eat in rather than carry out. read more

We went on a Saturday night when it was busy so we had a wait, but once we sat down the server was awesome and the pizzas came out really fast.

Great pizza spot. Very reliable. The place is always packed. This spot is in my monthly rotation.

Crafters is actually a really decent place to go. As always, we sat at the bar and the bartenders we great! They were friendly and attentive and were on top of out drinks once we were finished. It was a Saturday night so the place was crowded. Which is OK, that means it's a popular place. We ordered a plate of wings, a 14 inch pizza called "shake hands with meats (meat lovers pizza)" and a small house salad. The reason for a 4 star rating is that the pizza was just "ok". Trust me I've had worse but I wasn't blown away. However, it is still good pizza. The wings though, those are some good wings!! Big, juicy and tender!! The salad wasn't bad either. In closing, this is a nice place for a date, family dinner or hanging out with friends. I definitely recommend Crafters if you're in Carmel and have a hankering for wings!! read more

I have been visiting Crafters for a few years, as it's one of my family and I's favorite places to eat. Many of the staff there knows us by name, which makes the environment even more fun! Their menu also has a great variety for whatever mood you're in. The pizzas are a success everytime, specifically the Dr.Jones is a hit in our house! But, if you're not getting a pizza, I would definitely recommend the southern grilled chicken sandwich or the baked ziti. read more

Such a great sports bar! They have a great beer list, and tons of local options available. Sunday has $5 margaritas on special. They actually have a ton of great specials going on throughout the week. I love the pizza selections, and they have so many unique toppings and flavor combinations. We tried the Doctor Jones pizza with the hand tossed crust and it was excellent! Service was quick and it was a great place to watch the games. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We aim to try a new pizza each time we go and it never leads to disappointment. This evening we enjoyed the Spinach Dip & 14" Luchador Brothers Pizza. The pizza came with sides of Chipotle Ranch Sauce, Garlic Cream Sauce, and Peppadew Jam in which we were told is supposed to be drizzled on top but our server let us know that typically leads to a mess and they preferred to dip. We definitely dipped and enjoyed exploring every bite. The pizza is a street taco styled pizza with the perfect mixture of flavor and spice. Each sauce ranged in spice level, the Garlic Cream Sauce being the mildest to the Peppadew Jam the spiciest. The place was packed with family's and couples enjoying their night out for Valentine's Day but for 2 people, the wait wasn't too bad. Highly recommend this place if you love specialty pizza and we can't wait to try our next bite! read more
