    Pepperoni add banana peppers, bacon, and hot honey
    Lindsey C.

    I had Jockamo pizza a few years ago, but recently came in with a group on a Sunday evening. Service was A+, friendly and fast. The breadsticks are nice and fluffy. The pizza we got was good with a nice amount of toppings, but it just isn't one of my top pizzas in Indy. Not a huge fan of the cheese and the way it melts, but that is just personal preference! Love the big patio for nice days!

    10" build your own pizza
    John K.

    I got a 10 inch build your own pizza with regular pizza sauce, chicken and green peppers. The pizza crust was cooked nicely and it was crispy. Now that I see how they load the pizza with lots of cheese I will ask for light cheese next time. The abundance of cheese overpowers the rest of the pizza. I like how the pizza had larger slices of chicken and a nice quantity of pieces of green pepper. I received great service from Saysha. I like the upbeat and friendly vibe of the restaurant.

    10 inch pepperoni pizza

    After ten years, it's likely time that I do an update to my Jockamo review. However, the first thing I'm going to note is that my overall star rating isn't going to change. For me, Jockamo remains a solid entry in Indy pizza scene. It's a place I look forward to visiting, but I'm unlikely to ever consider it one of Indy's best. For those who don't yet know, this location is in the Fort Ben area in one of the office buildings. It's on the ground floor and faces East 56th Street. It is right across the parking lot from a Tru by Hilton. Jockamo is locally owned. There are locations in Irvington and Greenwood in addition to this one. All the locations tend to have a slightly hipster vibe with a warm, hospitable decor and friendly customer service. On this day, I arrived shortly after their 11am open for a quick lunch. I typically get a "build your own" option here - it's nearly always a 10" pepperoni pizza and my usual unsweetened iced tea. I eat for about $15. I will occasionally get breadsticks, though I didn't today. Today, I was basically told I could sit where I wanted. I picked a comfy 4-top near a window. This building was fairly new when opened a bit over ten years ago. So, unlike most of Fort Ben there are not really accessibility issues. That said, a couple of the parking spots are not ADA compliant and that always leaves me asking "Why?" There are a couple of truly ADA compliant spots. I have definitely had occasions when I passed by Jockamo because accessible parking as not available. They serve up the usual selection at all three locations including a wide variety of pizza options easily customized, a variety of appetizers, beer/wine, salads, sandwiches, a lunch special menu, and more. Vegetarians can easily get by here - My sense is that Vegans can, but I won't swear to it. I ordered my usual. The pepperoni pizza was good with ample toppings that were generous without being decadent. The crust was nicely crisped, though not burnt. Again, this is not my favorite Indy pizza. However, I consistently like it. I think where Jockamo tends to excel is in customer service and that was also top-notch today. Jockamo offers free Wi-Fi. They also carry local art work AND give 100% of the proceeds (cash only) to the artist. I love that. During warmer months, they do have outside dining options. They also have a bar area that is not kid-friendly. The rest of the dining room is family friendly. I still prefer this location. Irvington is the original - it's got a great vibe, but I'm just a Fort Ben dude. I like this spot and I love this area. During the week, they also have lunch specials that are awesome including slice options. I'm not around Fort Ben during the week as I work downtown, but I really like the specials and go for them when I can. Good pizza. Great people. An environment that is warm and welcoming. Ten years later, I still love Jockamo.

    I have been here multiple times. This location has great service. I used to come here for lunch when I worked in the area due to them having a lunch special. The lunch special is definitely worth the price because you get a lot for the price. The restaurant and ambience is clean and organized inside. Jockamo does a wonderful job at giving back into the community. The employees are very cheerful and you can tell they enjoy their work they do there. The times I have been here I haven't dealt with an employee who had an attitude due to having to work.

    Maybe I ordered wrong. The pizza wasn't that good to me. The salad was okay but most of their salads come with iceberg lettuce but she was able to swap for romaine for me.

    This is all around solid pizza! I had not been in awhile, so I was pleased to see a lunch menu option! It's the perfect set up! I had a four meat slice, with bread sticks, ranch and marinara, as well as Dr. Pepper! Savory and delicious, plus a great price! Staff was very friendly and on top of it! Def go to Jockamos!

    My Indy family (6 in total) and I ate here after church service one Sunday afternoon back in summer 2019. I know it's a long overdue review. LOL! I recall it was pretty busy so we decided to eat out on the patio section. It was a beautiful sunny day. We ordered several pizzas: -Chicken Alfredo pizza -Caprese pizza -Cajun pizza -Mediterranean pizza -Buffalo Chicken pizza We all shared so we can get a taste of each one. They were ok and average. Sadly, not as tasty or impressive. I don't know that I'll return. I may give them another try in the future.

    We split a house salad and a small pizza... both were excellent. Service was even better. And their playlist... amazing!

    Cheese Louise
    Sydney T.

    We ordered the Cheese Louise and Sweet Caroline for dinner delivery -- and both were fantastic! The Cheese Louise truly lives up to its name; it's easily one of the cheesiest pizzas I've ever had. And if you're a fan of pepperoni and hot honey, you'll love the Sweet Caroline. What started as a spontaneous order quickly turned into a new favorite for future pizza nights. Thanks!

    Lazyboy pizza
    David H.

    My colleague and I were able to walk to Jockamo from across the parking lot which made it quite convenient. Especially since they had a special for $4 draft beer. Destiny was our server and did a wonderful job keeping my beer glass full. I ordered the Lazyboy pizza. They certainly have quite the selection of specialty pizza which you can build yourself or just go with their creations. Since it was taco tuesday, I almost went with that type of themed pizza, but realized I really wanted mozzarella and toppings. The Lazyboy provided a blend of different veggies plus ham, sausage and pepperoni. The crust was good. Unfortunately even the small size was too big. My colleague had the house salad and the Caprese pizza with added chicken. I think she could only finish 3 slices, but said it was very good.

    Cheese Louise with Goat Cheese added
    Dusti C.

    I love going and sitting outside when the weather is nice. Irvington is full of nostalgia so it's nice to people watch and grab a bite. Service was great, they cater to your needs without bugging you too much which I appreciate. My favorite option is the spinach and bacon salad but I opted for the Cheese Louise this trip with some Gouda added. It was fantastic.

    Spinach-artichoke bread appetizer
    Alexis B.

    Although I've only been 3 times over the last 2 year, this isn't the first time I've left a good review for Jockamo. Today I was near by and STARVING. I decided to try it again but this time get something completely different. I tried the spinach-artichoke bread off the appetizer menu. Amazing. Looked different than I imagined as I thought it would be like spinach and artichoke dip on bread. I don't know, but every part was delicious and the marinara paired with it set it off. I ate the whole thing by myself. Service was great just as every time I've been. The restaurant was clean and tidy too. Today around 2 pm it was pretty empty, but I've drove by many times at noon and the parking lot has always been packed.

    A nice departure from traditional pizza spots. Unique combinations - my favorite is the Thai chicken - make this a worthy alternative.

I saw they had some tables set up outside which was a great solution! The food options were nice and what we got was delicious and well prepared. I thought the portion sizes were a tad small for the price, but the taste was great and lots of flavors and layers which made for a wonderful lunch. It was a fun spot to be inside a school space but honestly unless I went on an off time I would probably steer clear of this spot with others. I'd go back on my own for a meal or do take away or sit outside. It was lovely but just too loud for my tastes and wasting pleasure.

I know food doesn't look like the images on ads BUT geesh!!!! ************ Unlimited coffee is a plan I can get with..if only the coffee I wanted was available.

I get it, other orders are being filled..extend the time within the app. This visit I patiently waited 5 minutes after my order was to be ready. Upon further nosiness, spotted my cup on the floor. Wondered how long will they keep kicking it around before someone picks it up. Needless to say my craving for coffee beat out employee attentiveness. I inquired about my order to be handed a cup without explanation. Aht aht..I also ordered food. To my dismay the app showed chocolate croissants but none were made that day. I used a free pastry coupon how ever will I be compensated. I didn't want anything else, no I wasn't being difficult. The only reason this location is getting 4 stars is because of the manager!!! She was super nice, offered sandwiches, salads, something to make me whole and wrote my missing pastry in a special book. I wasn't a jerk about the situation, ish happens BUT I wasn't going to take food I wasn't going to eat. When I returned the next day The Manager greeted me before I made it to the counter.

    It has been over ten years since my original review of Fort Ben Pub, a locally owned pub and grill…read moretype establishment located in the Fort Ben area in the same strip center that includes Moo & Lou's Ice Cream and Phaya Thai. There's a wheelchair ramp in the middle of the building - I'll be honest, I don't quite trust it as I've noticed people in this parking area tend to block it without noticing it. There's also easy access from a ramp at the end of the building. Lawrence has done quite a bit to improve their curb cuts in this area, an area that has grown massively since my last review including 2-3 apartment buildings, a library branch, and an improved civic plaza. Fort Ben Pub itself is pretty accessible, though it becomes less so when it's packed (for example, my most recent visit was on a Friday karaoke night and accessibility was definitely more limited). There's two glass doors going inside the pub and, yes, they do offer a few tables on the sidewalk for outside dining. As you enter, you arrive in a large dining area with a beautiful bar to the right. The restaurant is decorated in warm woods with a few televisions of varying sizes and, on this evening, background music playing. On this visit, I was with a festival after-party that was placed off the main area in a smaller area that had two pool tables along with a variety of food/appetizers, etc. It's a cozy room that gave me a chance to check out the rest of the building. I did see the restrooms, which I would definitely not consider accessible - plan accordingly. I could possibly get in the door of the men's restroom, but it was quite tight and I have a smaller chair. This is a beloved place for a friend of mine who lives nearby and within walking distance. They treat her well. She was there during this visit, and I honestly just smiled at their clear affection for her (it's mutual). I love places that become community, and knowing this makes me want to return. That said, my accessibility concerns do somewhat limit my options. Fort Ben Pub does offer space for private events/groups and does catering. They have pool tables, Putt Putt live, Mega Touch, and Golden Tee and most of the sports network channels. While I'd tried both their tenderloin and burger in the past, I had a variety of items this time around due to the after-party, though not everything it seems was on the menu (or I'm just not recognizing it). As I noted previously and my friend also proves, the employees are super friendly and helpful. There are definitely times when it gets busy, though it's also pretty easy to come here during slower times. This particular visit was the first time I'd experienced accessibility issues. There's an awful lot to love here. I have to say that while I wasn't in the room with karaoke, the people were having a blast with such sincere enthusiasm that I was almost in awe. I've done karaoke one time in my life, and I don't think there's enough alcohol in the world to fuel another attempt. I also know from being close to the folks at Moo & Lou that these businesses watch out for each other - which I really like as it's a nice little safety factor. In the end, my star rating isn't changing but my appreciation for Fort Ben Pub has grown. This visit made me want to return in the near future, and it made me grateful for those places where you can get so comfortable that it feels like the people become part of your village. That's Fort Ben Pub.
