I don't understand the Hot Box slander because my meal deal was only $25 and was delicious! Back in February, they had a Riley meal deal where you paid $25 for a large one-topping pizza, breadsticks, one dipping sauce, a dessert, and two drinks. That's much more than you get at any other pizza joint for that price! I placed the order on their website for pickup in Broad Ripple. This location is closest to my apartment, but it's a little tough because the parking is not great. I am pretty sure I parked in a lot for another business, but I had no idea where else to park so I just risked it for the sake of the pizza. I came right at my pick-up time, but I still had to wait about 10 minutes. It wasn't a huge deal, but I was sweating that I would come back with a ticket on my car. Thankfully this didn't happen! I will say that every hot box location is pretty dead on the inside and honestly a little grimy. I doubt people actually eat inside often. We feasted when I got home with the food, and it was delicious!! A large pizza goes a long way for a family of two, so we had leftovers for lunch the next day. My favorite thing about Hot Box is their ranch. Both their breadsticks and their pizza dipped in the ranch are amazing. We had plenty of breadsticks left over for the following night (in which we dipped them in chili!) The drinks were standard in their plastic. reusable cups. I wished we had gotten the Riley-edition cups, but they gave us Christmas leftover cups instead. Lastly, we had their cookie pizza. We each had a slice the night we got it with a glass of milk. It was quite tasty. I love chocolate chip cookies in general, so a slice of chocolate chip cookie "pizza" was no different. We saved the leftovers for the next couple of days. I am extremely happy with our purchase at Hot Box! We don't get pizza too often, but it's definitely a place I would order from if it's in close proximity.

Breadsticks- little bland but still good
Sharon K.

Got the deal for a large pizza, breadsticks, and 2 drinks. We got a skinny crust pepperoni pizza. It was good, seasoned well and the crust was nice and crisp, not at all soggy. The breadsticks were ok but I feel like they could have been seasoned more. The drinks tasted a little weird, I think the ice was made of tap water and it tasted off. The drink holders are handy, not a drop spilled. The staff are friendly. Parking can be a bit of a problem, limited street parking. Overall I'd order from them again.

Very good pizza. I ordered the deal which is 2 drinks, 6 breadsticks with dipping sauce and a large one topping pizza. I modified the pizza and added black olives, green olives and mushrooms on half, pepperoni all over the pizza. I'm a thin crust pizza fam so i ordered the skinny pie, which is just a thin crust pizza. The pizza with the extra toppings was so good, I wished i had ordered the entire pie with them instead of just half. The breadsticks were quite tasty with the nacho cheese sauce. The only down side were the drinks. By the time i received my order, they were watered down and fruit punch is not very good watered down.

I spent most of my college experience being a "Box Rat" at HotBox West Lafayette (the BEST HotBox) and I really do love Hotbox to death. They have great specials if you join the text club, and the people who they employ are always pretty stellar. You cannot beat a place that is open this late with quality food. I also enjoy collecting the wide array of colored cups. I wish they would recycle the super high-quality cups though! My favorite pizza will always be the "HotBox" with buffalo sauce and dipped in the nectar of all that is holy, ranch dressing. You must try the Stix with cheese. Or else I will just Jedi mind trick you into doing so. Also any place where you can make so many jokes from their name and laugh at people who don't understand that is pretty okay in my book.

Porky the Pie (?) with banana peppers and breadsticks with cheese and (yummy) ranch

Since Pizza Express in Bloomington, I've always been a huge fan of the breadsticks. I used to not be a huge fan of their pizza (just my preference - I like thin crust and it was more hand tossed). I was craving their breadsticks and wanted a pizza to go with it, so looked at their menu. To my surprise, I noticed they had thin crust! I believe I ordered Porky the Pie and added banana peppers. (It had a different name for pride month.) It was perfect! The pizza was fantastic. I will definitely be ordering their thin crust again. I ordered through them and the delivery actually got to my place a little early and they followed delivery directions perfectly. As I'm writing this I'm craving their pizza again. Might have to be on the menu for later this week!

Crumpled pizza
Jackie M.

The pizza arrived completely crumpled and smashed onto itself but tasted good. Not sure if that was from delivery or what but slightly disappointed.

Came here for a later dinner recently to enjoy some Chicago deep dish. I honestly had no idea there…read morewas anywhere in Indy to get it! Our service was appropriately paced for the time it takes to make a Chicago deep dish pizza. I liked the TVs they had in the center of our dining area, which had some pre-season football coverage. The booths have taller partitions so it feels more intimate. I also liked the marquee saying "EAT PIZZA". I will certainly follow instructions there! The pizza we got was "The Special": sausage, green pepper, onion, and mushroom. I thought the pizza was fine, my only thing about Chicago style is that the vegetables can't caramelize like they would on a regular pizza. But that's just a personal opinion. I am pleased with the range of mocktail offerings, which are all $7.

We went at 12:45 on a Thursday afternoon. We had a large group and were told it was about a thirty minute wait (which was fine). The food was good. I'm not a huge fan of Chicago style deep dish pizza but I hadn't had it in a few years. The crust was ok but not flaky enough. The sauce had a good tomato flavor and a bit on the chunky side. There were only a few pieces of sausage and the cheese was not very noticeable in the flavor profile. My Caesar salad was very good with lots of Parmesan cheese. The service left a lot to be desired. I'm not being critical of our server but rather the overall management of the service. They were very understaffed as servers were taking orders, bringing food and drinks, and clearing tables. The food came out of the kitchen slow. And there was one person (who I assume was a manager) who stood around with his arms folded, biting his nails, and doing nothing to help the servers. I'm sorry but if you are short staffed, roll up your sleeves and help clear tables or bring drinks. He did nothing while the servers ran from place to place. In the end, the food was ok but our experience lacked efficient service and I wouldn't go back to this Giordano's location again. There are a lot of other options in the area.

We ordered a half-and-half pizza with the Spicy Bee on one side and the Bazbeaux Special with pine nuts on the other. Everything was delicious. It's all made fresh to order, so it took a bit of time to come out, but that's exactly why it tasted so good: fresh ingredients, a crisp thin crust that stays sturdy under the toppings, and great flavor throughout. With many toppings to choose from and a good beer and wine selection, there's a ton to explore here, and it's very vegetarian-friendly, too. The service sealed the deal for us. The staff was extremely friendly and kind, and our waitress was the highlight. We ended up staying a little past closing and started to rush, but she reassured us to take our time and enjoy the meal instead of feeling hurried. That kind of genuine hospitality goes a long way. Cozy, casual atmosphere, excellent pizza, and warm service in the heart of the Mass Ave arts district. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

The outside and the inside blend together nicely since they have garage doors that open and it kind of all just becomes one.

There's board games and other games outside on turf to play so awesome family option or if you have a big group. Service was quick and friendly. We had the breadsticks to start and the dough was so light and puffy, and the outside was crisp, it almost tasted like it was fried and not baked. They were great! The dough of the pizza must be the same because we got the Bama BBQ and Bees Sneez pizzas and the crust was just like the breadsticks and we loved it. Bees sneez was sweet with some spicy from the jalapeños. Id get it again! Everyone enjoyed that one. The guys at our table had buffalo wings and said they were also awesome - they gave them an 8/10. The pizza is definitely the go to menu pick here, the different combinations they have and the crust are what make it a standout compared to others! We'll be back!

Shin Dig is known for their speciality pizzas, so, we opted to try the "Russet," a potato themed pizza. I usually love all things potato, but I did not enjoy this one. The crust was crisp and delectable, but the amount of cheese overpowered the other flavors and it was sloughing off the dough. I think if there was less cheese and it would was cooked longer I probably would've enjoyed it more. Either way - nice spot! We will be back to give the food another try.
