    10 inch pepperoni pizza
    Richard P.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    First time at this location. Pizza was delicious and a strong 4 stars. Cool vibe inside. This location has two levels and a lot of seating. While our server was nice and working so hard, he was the only one working the bar and bar dining room and he couldn't keep up. At one point they were out of glasses and then plates. We had to wait for a new box of glasses to be opened and washed (which this same guy did) and more plates to come up from the back. We understand busy nights and we don't mind waiting and we definitely felt for the guy hustling hard trying to keep up (which included clearing tables too), but the service element was two stars are best. We initially thought maybe they were short staffed, but we saw a bunch of staff around, so maybe some management issues going on? Not sure. Having said all that, we enjoy the pizza enough that we'll hope this was just an off night and give it another try sometime. We've also been to their two other locations and had excellent experiences all around, so I'd still recommend Jockamo's.

    Laura P.

    Jockamo pizza never disappoints! They have a huge selection of pizzas and everyone can find something new and original that they'll like. My personal favorite is the Sweet Caroline. The sweet honey and savory meats makes it the best pizza ever. The place itself is huge and has a more modern vibe to it. Plenty of dining room seating with a private space as well. The bar feels a little small for a typical pizza place I'd say, but there are plenty of tables. My only negative is that the service isn't usually great when I go there. They're always friendly, but it usually takes a while before you get service and I end up feeling like I could have been checked on more often. Still a great place to catch up with friends, play a few bar games, or have a quick dinner!

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

    Met there for a birthday brunch with some work colleagues…read more Was greeted when I walked in by a sweet gal who let me choose my own table. Love the self-serve coffee bar! So many different kinds of coffee, and I love that you get to pick your own mug. Cute! A different server took our order and was equally friendly and patient as it was our first time there and we had lots of questions. Everyone ordered something different so we got to try each other's entrees. I had the quiche of the day, which ended up being a huge slice--like a 1/4 quiche--and came with a side. Coworker added a pancake as her side of eggs and breakfast meat, but wanted to split the former. So we got it GF blueberry lemon pancake. It comes with real blueberries and a lemon icing drizzle that's not overly sweet yet negates the need for syrup. It was amazing and did not at all taste gluten free! Portions were a good size and everyone left there either full or with a box. I look forward to finding another excuse to return. This is a Fort Ben gem!

    This was my first visit to the cafe. Most people would probably find it a pleasant environment, but…read morefor me it was too loud. When looking at the menu, the BLT caught my eye and my lunch decision was made. I'm a bit of a BLT snob and was very surprised by the quality of theirs. It is definitely in my top five, and I'll be returning just to have another one. The only issue I was unhappy with was the coffee service. I did not care for having to retrieve my own coffee. I was at a sit-down restaurant to rest and eat. That is the primary reason I could not give five stars. Having to serve myself coffee alone won't stop me from returning, but it will annoy me next time just as it did on this visit.

    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.

    The people were really nice, but the meal was very lackluster. Price for the quality was also…read morepretty low. I would also say little odd how much they charge for different options. The environment was very dead when we came, but hopefully maybe just because it wasn't sports going on that day.
