    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

The sandwich is about as long as my humerus, and I ate the whole dang thing in one sitting. New York Gourmet Deli is not to be confused with NY Gourmet Deli, also in Indy. New York Gourmet Deli is located on East 21st Street on the near east side; NY Gourmet Deli is on Ruckle Street, near The Children's Museum. Are they owned by the same people? I don't know, but someone needs to change their name so I'm less confused. Anyway, New York Gourmet Deli, on the east side, is great and located in an unassuming parking lot full of potholes. It looks like a liquor store from the outside, but step inside and you'll see the large deli counter where you order sandwiches, burgers, fries and other foods. The joint is also a convenience store, of sorts, with a wall full of refrigerated beverages, aisles of chips, candy, and lots of Mexican snacks. There's also a little corner of the store with goods like laundry detergent and other necessities. The hustle here is unmatched. The fellows behind the counter were flying all over the kitchen to fulfill the orders. I visited around noon on a weekday, which seemed to be a busy time because there were lots of people from all walks of life here, either waiting to order or waiting for their orders. The guys behind the counter were unflappable and took orders and made sandwiches at a speedy pace. Even if there's a line, you won't wait long for your food.

Service was very good with only a slight wait due to a small line. You order, they start making your order and you pay. A few minutes later the have everything ready and bagged up. I got a chopped cheese, it does reminded me of a sloppy Joe, and my only complaint was I wanted more lettuce and tomato. Richelle got the east coast roast beef and cheddar. She loved it and it had plenty of lettuce and tomato. Fries are good, and the give them a sprinkle of seasoning too. Plenty of cans of pop to choose, but would like to see a few diet pop options added. We will definitely come back, and I ask for plenty of toppings.

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 think the first time was just after they opened and I was headed to the Limp Bizkit show. (Note: probably one of the oddest shows I've ever been to. Plus: Corey Feldman! But Fred Durst killed it. And he stood on the stage after the show just soaking it all in and appreciating everyone who was there, waving and signing autographs. You could tell he didn't want to leave the stage. It was cool to see.) Anyway, it was a little hectic that first time I visited Jersey Mike's only being open a couple weeks and the manager was there coaching his team. I enjoyed witnessing that. Each time I've visited, the staff is very kind and helpful. They help you through the process and make sure your sandwich is made to perfection.
