    Margharita pizza
    Kelly S.

    First time trying Richard's Brick Oven Pizza - they are right next to my office but only open for the dinner hour, so I usually am not able to go. I enjoyed the style of pizza from the brick oven, but felt like the serving size was much too small for the price. It's a thin crust pizza with very fresh ingredients and had a great flavor but for almost $11, the serving size needs to be bigger. You can get almost the same size for several dollars less at other nearby pizza places and the quality is comparable.

    Yeah, this place is worth the hype. Tucked right off downtown, this little place really packs a punch. Our first visit was a crowded Saturday night - about a 45 minute wait, but we entertained the kids walking around in front of the restaurant. The hostess mentioned that we could get a drink at the bar while we waited if desired, but with the kiddos we opted out of that. The namesake brick oven is the focal point of the indoor dining area, so you get to watch your food get prepared, which is pretty cool. Where we were sitting on the other side of the room, I could still feel the heat when someone walked in front of the opening. There are a few suggested combinations for pizza, but be prepared to make your own with the toppings provided. We went for Alfredo sauce for the base (my wife is picky on her red sauce) with chicken, pepperoni, and spinach - a fantastic combination in my opinion. Garlic pinwheels were also delicious - think a big cinnamon roll, but made out of a breadstick and lined with cheese instead of cinnamon, dipped in marinara. Fantastic. Really neat little local place that absolutely is worth a visit if you're in town. Great experience all around.

    Build your own pizza!!  Love this place!!

    We've been to Richard's before, so this time I decided to have pasta instead of pizza. It was awesome and was glad I was able to add whatever I wanted. I added artichoke hearts and mushroom! My husband had a pizza with numerous meat options that looked and tasted great! Hanna gave us GREAT customer service, she gave well thought out suggestions and had a positive attitude! One suggestion, if you and your dinner guest drink the same beer.....get a pitcher! We plan on doing just that when we go back! Ask for Hanna, you won't be disappointed!!

    We came here for my dads birthday and we had a group of 5. We got sat right away. We were sat next to a beautiful hanging wine rack and it was awesome seeing the pizzas made right in front of you in their brick oven. We got an order of the cheesy bread for the table. I got the cheese tortellini with spinach and chicken and it was delicious. I shared it with my mom and it was plenty for the both of us. My dad and sister in law got a pizza and loved it. My brother ordered a calzone and raved about it as well. They have beer and wine for your drinking needs. We will be back!

    Food was outstanding. Best pizza I've ever eaten. Service wasn't great nor terrible. I would recommend this place to anyone. Got 2 deserts to try. Would definitely recommend the lemon cake. The s'mores pizza was pretty much as you'd expect. Some dough, chocolate chips mini marshmallows and some crushed up graham crackers. Really rich stuff. Probably more so suited for a group of kids imo. (It's the same size as the pizzas) but overall I was very pleased with this place.

    Had the pleasure of visiting Iozzo's for the first time ever this evening with a close group of 6…read more The ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Jeremy was our server and was top notch with his recommendations and genuine friendliness throughout the evening. The food was nothing short of incredibly delicious! We started off with a new special drink they had with sorbet as well as a strawberry cello martini, and a Jefferson bourbon drink. There was nothing we had that was even close to average. For appetizers, we had the crab cakes, portobello mushrooms, and garlic bread, on top of the complimentary bread and sauce to dip it in. The salads were great as well - caprese, Caesar, spinach, and the Southside salad. The the entrees were the filet, lasagna, fettuccini, Ricotta Gnocchi, and yellow tail fish - all of which were superb! We also had a side of mashed potatoes that were perfect! We then ordered the creme brulee and tiramisu cheesecake for dessert which again, were phenomenal! We will definitely be back again after such a wonderful experience!

    First time trying this place. Had great reviews. It wasn't as quiet and intiment as I had hoped but…read morethe service and food more then made up for it our waitress was great. Took time to explain menu, attentive, and took time to just talk with us not feeling rushed. The food was great. I had the rigatoni alls vodka with the spicier Diablo sauce and it was just right. My wife had the spaghetti with meatballs and said it was very flavorful. We also had the strawberry martini and was perfect blend. Would def return

My tilapia with lemon sauce and capers was served with angel hair pasta and a nice marinara. The garlic bread was replenished several times and was warm with a fluffy center. Excellent service in a quiet atmosphere with reasonable prices, delicious entrees, and cloth napkins and tablecloths.

    Great Italian food on Indy Southside. Nothing fancy about the restaurant, just really good food…read more Not a huge place but plenty of space for a number of tables. The girls that greeted us as we came in to check in we're very nice. We had to wait because we were a little early for our reservation. Sat down had one of the nicest servers ever. She took good care of us kept our drinks Phil got us. Our food made some suggestions. She did a great job. The food was excellent. I got lasagna others at the table got spaghetti with vodka sauce, a vegetable pasta dish, shrimp Alfredo. Everybody loved their food. It also came with big loaves of garlic bread that were really excellent so much flavor to everything. Also, each one came with a salad or soup today super the day was clam chowder. It was creamy and rich. The salads were excellence with four different homemade dressings. Highly recommend.

    This is an old school nostalgic restaurant. Even though it was opened in 1978, its decorations…read morelooks older than that. They have a few parking spots in the front, all of which are handicap spots. They have a decent amount of parking spots in the back. There is a decent sized dining area that is decorated like it is the 1960 with old school memorabilia and Coca-Cola stuff. If you are dining in you must place your order at the counter first. I decided to dine in. There are two counters, one on each side of the restaurant, only one was open during my visit. I guess that is where they get the "twin" in its name. The restaurant serves salads, pizza, burgers, spaghetti and other Italian entrees. I got the lasagna, which came with bread and a salad or you could substitute the salad for extra bread. They did not have fries. But they did have potato wedges, which is what I got to complete my meal. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food and they brought it to my table. It was fresh and hot. The lasagna was small and tasted ok. I have had better, and I have had worse. The potato wedges were pretty good. They do not come with catsup though. You have to request it. All in all, this is a neat little mom and pop diner. It really takes you back. I think that it does miss the mark on table service though. I am glad to see that they got with the times and do now accept credit cards, as a few years ago they did not. I always love supporting local.

    We were presenting at the school next door so decided to grab a quick lunch during the break and…read morethis spot was given as the best option. We arrived a few minutes before they opened but they were quick to welcome us and get us started on the options. Once you enter there is a counter where you order with a menu on the wall as well as a board with lunch specials. I got the spaghetti with marinara which also came with a substantial salad and garlic bread sticks. There are several rooms for seating with both booths as well as tables. The decor is very fun and festive and definitely Coke oriented! We weren't seated too long before our meals were brought to the table, and things were hot and fresh and smelled wonderful. My spaghetti was an ample portion with a lot of sauce which I mopped up with the tasty bread. The rest of the party are their food with gusto so I'm assuming they liked it. It is a fun spot for a quick lunch or dinner and they had lots of options for hot sandwiches or cooked food.

    Upon arriving, very clean and friendly. We ordered the meatball appetizer and it was very good!…read more We ordered the "Godfather" pizza which was supposed to have ricotta, mushrooms, Italian sausage and pepperoni. Never saw it tasted any mushrooms or ricotta on the pizza. The pizza was still good, but if you're going to say it's on the pizza, we need to actually see and/or taste it.

    We went on a Sunday for their all day happy hour as stated on their website. When we were seated…read morethe Happy Hour menu said it was from 4-5pm and 8-9pm. Online it says happy hour is all day Sunday and Monday-Saturday from 8-9pm. When we asked our waitress about it she said the website must be incorrect, even though it was listed on the Pizza and Libations website as all day happy hour on Sunday's. We ordered mozzarella sticks and a Spritz. I also ordered 2 beer samples to try before committing to a full sized beer pour. The spritz tasted watered down and had little to no flavor. Our mozzarella sticks came out in about 15 minutes. We received our mozzarella sticks before our drinks from the bar. After receiving our appetizer, we were still waiting on our drinks we ordered and had been waiting more than 30 minutes. There were multiple tables around us checking on their drinks and food because the wait was so long even though the restaurant wasn't even halfway full. There were only about 6 people sitting at the bar. Our mozzarella sticks were fresh and the hot honey drizzle was a good addition! They were pretty thick mozzarella sticks but reminded me of a higher end Arby's mozzarella stick. We ended up getting our check after my husband finally got his drink more than 30 minutes after ordering it. All in all, service was slow and the menus were not updated with correct pricing or specials. One menu stated a Coors Light was $6 while another said it was $7. Maybe it was an off night for them. The pizza looked very good and I would like to go back to give it another shot.
