...I couldn't find a place on toast to respond to my service tonight. I placed an order on toast. I am recently divorced and had a difficult thing happen last night that I'm still dealing with. I was upset, and had been crying before I picked up my order. I got back to my car, to call the lone family member i have, and to just, cry; and your two hostesses came up, knocked on my window, and offered me a dessert. They were so sweet, incredibly earnest, and graceful. They didn't seem to want to say "hey we see you're going thru it" and that made it all the more special. I'm diabetic, so the pizza itself is a splurg, and I can't do dessert. But these two girls, wow. Thank you. I have a unique history with your restaurant. I moved to Indy the same time you opened, and I started patronizing you before you had pasta on your menu. I was worried you didn't have enough business. 52nd was slower at that time. Then you added bolognese. Tried it. Loved it. Loved the pizza more, tho. My husband and I moved to the neighborhood. We had more frequent visits, tho more to gos than anything. And then my grandma died. She was incredibly important to me. It was winter devour. We came to eat with you that night. It was wrong and right to be so happy and sad, I cried that night too, in your restaurant. But it was right. Thank you for being my safe place. A lovely place. Thank you to your staff. Thank you to your leadership. I'm a chef. I'm not in restaurants, I'm in banquets, but people and staff like yours...you are incredible and thank you. Also, pizza is fucking fantastic. read more

An incredibly unrated spot in Indy! We came here right before the dinner rush and found a parking spot, thankfully. The parking situation looks like it's rough during busy times, so definitely get here early. Our server was very helpful and quick to get us everything we needed. Food came out with the same speed and was great + HOT! The garlic cheese bread is a different style than your average garlic bread, but it. is. DELICIOUS. Pizza is also the most incredible food I've had in a long time. You truly cannot go wrong with any pizza on the menu! The second you get a chance to try Diavola, do it! 12/10 read more

Lovely's is sub par, don't really need to amend my review. Scrumptious, delectable, delicious, tasty...I seriously doubt reviews including these terms. My new list of excellent pizza places... by category: Best Pan: Pequod's is pan, excellent pan. Not sure why people call this a deep dish pizza. Pequod's in Chicago. Hole in the wall, super nice people and an excellent pan pizza. Haven't tried Burt's though. Best Deep Dish: Selma's of Chicago (in California). Reminds me of Giordano's when it was a hole in the wall restaurant (in the 1970's) without a liquor license (before they franchised). Selma's is much better than current Lou Malnatti's, Pizzeria Uno or Gino's East. Gino's East is a close second. Giordano's... don't go, you will be disappointed. Best Neopolitan: Il Ritrovo in Sheboygan, WI. I don't know if it's farm to table, but excellent, consistent pizza. Equal to or possibly better is "El Diavola" in Indianapolis. Very good topping combinations. If they can figure out how to properly cook pizzas without raw dough in the middle... they are possibly best Neopolitan in the nation. Best Detroit style: Michigan & Trumbull, super awesome, limited seating, but this is my choice over Buddy's (it's ok pizza, with beyond lousy service), Louis' (it's very, very good pizza). Still looking for the best thin Pizza. Growing up in Chicago we loved Little Joe's, Fox's, Aurelio's on the south side. Haven't found anything close to replace them yet. read more

I mostly love this place. Having moved from NYC I'm pretty selective about pizza and while some other nearby establishments were pitched to me as having the best brick oven pizza, I think Diavola actually does. Most of the other food we've had has been pretty great as well with a couple exceptions...there was a gnocchi with vodka sauce special a few weeks ago that, while not mentioned on the menu, came drowning in truffle oil. You can ask for it without but surprise truffle oil when you can't stand truffle oil is kind of a problem. The other is their lasagna. I've made and tasted a 1000 different lasagnas and I suppose it's a matter of preference, but I know lasagna to be kind of delicate, with light almost crepe-like layers of pasta with béchamel. This was just piles of melted cheese. I couldn't actually taste anything other than cheese and the texture was a total loss. All that said, I still love it. Thanks for being a great neighborhood spot. read more

Both the crust and sauce were wonderful. The crust was both crispy and chewy. The sauce tasted fresh and bright. The pizza had the perfect amount of toppings as well. I like pizza to be a little heavy on the sauce so I asked the waiter for a side of it for dipping. Overall, very good pizza. We had both the Classico and Padrino. I didn't care for the Gorgonzola cheese on the Padrino but my friend enjoyed it. read more

This place is known for being a pizza spot but let's get into their pasta. I might be basic with my order but I got spaghetti and meatballs. Those meatballs were big and proportioned just right with the amount of noodles and meat sauce. The service was quick, I ordered online headed to the restaurant and I got my order within five minutes of stepping in the door. The restaurant decor is mainly red and black, but it gives a romantic, yet cozy setting. Table settings are already on tables upon being seated. The food is so good. Also, that garlic cheese bread is chef's kiss. I will be back for another visit. read more

Diavola Pizza - Lunch time - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Diavola is such a great spot for a date night. I got the Classico pizza and she got the Mushroom Ravioli, and both were delicious. The portions are solid too. I almost always end up with leftovers, and the pizza reheats surprisingly well in the air fryer the next day. Service was great overall. We were seated right away, drinks came out quickly, and the food timing felt just right. Our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in enough without overdoing it. I also really liked the decor and overall atmosphere of the place. We sat inside, but the outdoor seating looked just as nice, maybe even better on a good evening. One of the best parts is being able to finish dinner and then take a walk along the Monon afterward and grabbed some ice cream at The Clubhouse. It makes the whole experience feel even more enjoyable. read more

I loved Diavola's pizza before, so I decided to order delivery gluten free pasta and bread tonight. WOW! What a treat! I could tell the gluten free pasta was handmade and not just a box that the restaurant kept in the back. And the bread... amazing!!! Definitely like a pizza crust but so flavorful! Will definitely be getting this again! read more

The pizza and table side service were great! The tables are definitely crammed in so it's a bit loud. We also had a reservation for a table for two and upon arrival, they asked if we wanted to sit at the bar. We had to wait quite a while to be seated. It was frustrating seeing other parties walk in and get seated faster. read more

Diavola Pizza - Truffle Funghi - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My wife and I are both Celiacs and wanted to try out a new to us pizza place. Diavola was average, a mix of the good and not so good. First I really appreciate them having GF crust and noting "allergy" on the box. The crust itself was thin and tasteless. I've definitely had better. I ordered a pizza with extra sauce, mozzarella, peppers and mushrooms, and declined the artichokes. I was surprised and thankful they substituted spinach for the artichokes without me even asking. The mushrooms and peppers were flavorful. The sauce was light and inconsistent on the individual slices. Thought there would've been more since I requested extra. We had ordered ahead of time and the pizza was ready a few minutes early even though the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. read more

Shocking that it has taken me this long to visit this place. We had a girls night here and it's perfect. We arrived right at 5, the time that they open. There were several people sitting in their cars ready to go in. Once you go inside you can totally see why. There isn't a ton of seating so I would imagine it will fill up very quickly. Our server was helpful. Since it was my first time I asked quite a few questions. She did let us know that the day I came wine was half off, so of course we had to order a bottle. I'm not super big on Italian food but I ordered the ravioli. It was really good. One of these other ladies I was with is vegetarian and she had several options to choose from. When we were leaving (around 6:30) it was packed so I totally recommend going early or making a reservation. read more

First timer! I real hidden gem. I live not to far from here and drive past it all the time. I like the vibe set in here it was upscale but still family friendly if that makes sense. Our server was pleasant and gave her recs! I had a delicious cocktail Dolce and the cheesy garlic bread to start. Amazing! Ok then I wanted pasta so I orders the caprese zoodles. I wasn't thrilled but I wasn't dissatisfied either. I'm sure if I revisit I would for sure get a pizza because everyone had a pie and they looked good! read more

I've always found that restaurants located in the Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis tend to be much more interesting and trendier than what you typically find downtown or in the northern suburbs. The food is usually better too, and our trip to Diavola reinforced that. We went on a Saturday night; I made reservations for 5pm, and within 30 minutes, the place was packed. Service was outstanding. Despite the large crowd, we never waited too long for drinks or appetizers. The baked goat cheese was incredible, as were the cocktails. We had the Diavola pizza, and it was amazing. It's a Napolitana-style crust, and it was obvious that every flavor was intentional. The interior of the restaurant, although space-limited, was inviting and clean. I took note of how many people were sitting outside, in barely-50-degree weather, just to dine here. That says a lot. read more

A few friends and I celebrated 2 birthdays here in the Fall. We sat on the patio and had such a lovely time! Their Mushroom Ravioli was everything I could have wanted and then some. So delicious that I didn't have any regrets for ordering pasta over their famous pizza. All of us enjoyed our meals, my friends said the pizza was indeed great and the service was also excellent! Cherry on top was that they offered us 2 free birthday desserts off their menu. It was such a nice treat and rare that we were able to pick them out! Would definitely recommend celebrating special occasions here! read more

Service was great, attentive, friendly! Ordered Pera Pesto and Truffle Funghi and flavors for both pizzas were very good! The crust was nice, light, fluffy but also had a crisp to it. The appetizer was also good, I would have liked a little more basil in it personally. Maybe bread instead of pizza dough would have soaked up the sauciness of the dish too! Dinner paired nicely with a glass of wine too. The only feedback of a suggestion for improvement was that our table wobbled and we tried to apply a temporary fix to avoid the rocking back and forth by placing something under one of the table leg. Other than the table, the interior was pleasant, definitely will be nice when outdoor seating is available! read more

Service was friendly and we were seated right away. The pizzas were delicious. Perfectly flavored and the dough/ crust has a nice chew. We ordered the pesto pera and funghi one. Both were tasty. We also ordered an appetizer that was like a deconstructed pizza. It was good but a little soupy - probably stick to reg pizza next time read more

The pasta was in an oil based sauce with parm, sun dried tomatoes, chicken, and penne noodles. Yum. I also tried got the maialina pizza that has peppers, pepperoni, and sausage on it that was also very good.

This was my second time eating here, and it was so much better than I originally remembered. The pizza was so flavorful, and the crust was soft but still a little crispy. We were able to walk-in during lunchtime on Sunday with no wait. There's some free parking nearby, which is nice. Service was good, and the restaurant was kind of small, so I recommend getting a reservation for dinner. I can't wait to go back! read more

This is a cool Italian restaurant to hang out with friends or for a casual date. I went on a Friday night and it was super busy. I decided to get an order to go and stopped several servers to ask their opinion on different dishes. Even though they were busy they answered my questions. I decided on the Truffle funghi pizza. It was delicious and had amazing flavor. The pizza was topped with truffle oil, burrata, Italian sausage, roasted mushrooms, Italian garlic and basil. I will definitely be back to try other options. read more

Come for the pizza. Seriously, only the pizza. When I think "pizza," my brain does not immediately teleport to the heart of Indiana... but this spot in Indy fully humbled me. Their Margherita pizza comes with a creamy white sauce that honestly deserves its own fan club. Perfectly blistered crust, melty cheese, and noticeably fresh ingredients. But, outside of the pizza, there wasn't much to return for -- service-wise, our server wasn't terrible, but definitely forgetful. Drinks sat empty, apps came out cold, and asking if we wanted the bill before or after the pizza (main) came out. very bizarre. Cute outdoor seating, that's covered and well-lit for a nice date night or GNO but, would skip the apps and just focus on the 'za. read more

The food was amazing- however I was incredibly disappointed with the service and should have spoke to the manager. My partner and I, who booked reservations for outside a day before for our anniversary, were the only people of color being seated outside at our time of service and were seated in the very back of the parking lot next to a truck DESPITE there being an open table for two. I asked to be moved and was swiftly declined, while the other "booked" table did not arrive until 40 minutes after we got there. I'm extremely disappointed in this establishment and will not be returning. read more

3.5 stars. Incredible pizza. Nice cold craft beer, Daredevil Liftoff. Good service. Mediocre parking. Here's what's going to keep us from coming back: It. Is. Loud. Arrived at 5pm to several young children present. As the children left, the noise level only got worse. I left with ears ringing. It's a Friday evening, so maybe it's quieter at other times. Friday is pizza night. I'll keep looking for a pizza place near home. read more

Came in with family tonight, as this is is one of our favorite neighborhood spots. Wasn't too crowded when we got there, but filled up quickly. Grace took excellent care of us and was very personable! She paced out our meal nicely. We all split a bottle of the Cannonau, a Sardinian red, which was light and an easy drinker with our food, similar to many Sicilians I've had in terms of salinity and earthiness. Started with the meatballs as we always do which were simple yet delicious with homemade marinara and fresh bread for dipping. The chop salad was also very good and the bleu cheese and raw onion provided a nice bite. Lastly, we finished with the barbecue chicken pizza, which we hadn't ever had but now is a new favorite! Banana peppers were a nice touch. We will be back soon. read more

Diavola makes some of the best wood fire pizza! I love trying all of their different specials and we never go wrong with the classic pepperoni. I think it's a little pricey because they attempt to provide a more upscale atmosphere but the cleanliness and service don't stack up. We recently took some family and had some issues. They didn't take my sisters food allergies or religious preferences very seriously. She doesn't eat tomatoes, tree nuts, or pork and we had some issues when our order first came out. They also have the middle tables too close together and the people behind us kept elbowing us and scooting their chair into our backs. Not the best experience this time. read more

We sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. Inside was cozy and perfect for our winter visit. We started with the brussels sprouts, which had bacon, parm, and truffle oil. They were quite a treat. They came out piping hot, which was also a great sign for the rest of our meal. We also got the genovese pizza which had a base of pesto and was topped with chicken, sun dried tomatoes and caramelized onion. It was delicious. I even heard a "best pizza I've had in Indy" spoken. It was also fresh from their brick oven, the crust was crispy yet soft on the inside and the toppings were delicious. It was a win. The only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was that the cocktail menu didn't have prices. That never really makes sense to me and I'm not as laid back as I'd like to be about that kind of thing lol. In the end, I got the Italian Gentlemen cocktail (Bourbon, Campari, Orange Bitters, Lemon Juice and Agave) and it ended up being $14. It was spirit forward and a very good drink so I was happy. We also got a tequila soda with lime which ended up being $9. There is a shared free parking lot and it was easy to find a spot. read more

We had gone to Diavola for a night out, somewhere where we could have a nice multi course meal. Diavola is situated in SoBro, just off the Monon trail. There's off street parking in from the of the restaurant. Spaces can be tight on the weekends and certain evenings. We served by Christopher, a pleasant man who served us well and put a candle in our dessert as a way to celebrate our 6-month anniversary. Service was 5/5. The sauce is really good, and we started off with the Eggplant coquettes followed by pizza and calzone. Partly came here because we saw that they offer vegan cheese as a substitute ($3 up charge). My wife is vegan and made her own pizza. I opted for the calzone. Mine was pretty good. Just really big, so there was plenty to take home. I would say food was 8/10. The tartufo dessert was very decadent. Ambiance was nice. There are some vintage posters on the wall, and ambient lighting covering the place. I would advise to make a reservation if you plan to come here on the weekends. The place was packed. Overall, I'd give Diavola 8.5/10. The food was really good but can be pricey if you make substitutions. There is a legit Neapolitan pizza oven in the place. The vegan cheese used melts really well, and the pizza visually and taste wise was appealing. Please come back again. Support local. read more

I like Italian food and you can usually catch me across the street. Today, my husband and I are out for a bite before 5pm and decided to try it out. We always mentioned trying it as we drive by. Let me tell you this place did not disappoint! Dante' was our server, he gave excellent service. He is very soft spoken, so listen up, he's going to direct you to some of his favorites. I had the Caprese and the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. It was delish. Not a crumb left in the bowl. I missed not having bread to sop up the wonderful sauce, but didn't really miss it. The ambiance was nice, good music to enjoy with the food. Here's the kicker. My husband, who doesn't like white sauce devoured the same dish! Come by and try it if you've never had a meal here. Don't get here too late cause they are usually pretty busy. read more

My wife has spoken about Diavola for years but we'd never been able to go. However I was finally able to take her for our anniversary and I must say they did not disappoint!

The restaurant itself was very nice and it has an even nicer patio area that with lighting to enjoy on nice warn evenings like we did. Lastly, but obviously most important the food was spectacular! From the mussles we started with, to my wife's pizza straight from the wood fireplace, & of course my salmon risotto! YUM! We ended dinner with their Raspberry Cheesecake was was also very good! 5/5 easily! We'll definitely be coming back! read more

We had 4 different pizzas; Bianca cheese, Truffle fungi with vegan cheese and same with pepperoni for sausage with real cheese and a Contadina with added soleggiati tomato. We also had three salads; Mista, chopped and Caesar. App of calamari was great too. Rowan comped our son a dessert of TARTUFO for his birthday and we had a lemoncello gelato.
