    Overall, we had a fun time hanging out with our friends after the Pacers game earlier this week, but were unimpressed with the bartender and I wouldn't come back. He was rude to us when asked to replace a beer (he gave one of our party a lager instead of an IPA and there is a very big difference between those two beer styles) instead of just apologizing, pouring the correct beer, and moving on with the next customer. Right after this he gave us the wrong flavor of a High Noon that we ordered and we didn't even bother going up to have that changed out because he had made the previous interaction so tense and uncomfortable.

    Looking for a casual pizza place downtown we found SSC. I got a big smile on my face when we walked in and saw this iconic dive bar! Every inch of the ceiliing and walls are covered with license plates, sports memorabilia and street signs, and every table was full because it was bingo night A handful of craft beers on draft and in cans. But the winner was the pizza. Loaded with toppings all the way to the edge, it reminded me of local pizza parlors when I was a kid. One woman makes all the pizzas in her small "open" kitchen. One counter to make it, and one pizza oven (that looks like an easy bake oven) to cook it. Kudos to her! We will be back, maybe for karaoke or trivia night!

    Seems to be an unpopular opinion based on the total rating but a 3 seems appropriate for our visit! Bar service for food and for drinks. The pizza had a great amount of cheese and sauce but the crust was a bit burnt and overall underseasoned. We'd skip the breadsticks and cheese sauce next time. Great for drinks, good for young groups-heads up it's loud in there, a solid dive through and through.

    Ordered a pizza for pick up, and was ready in good time! The pizza was hot and fresh and decent for dive bar pizza. The atmosphere is at Sam's is always amazing as well. Sam's is a go to for me in Indy.

    Thee best zaaa

    Huge shoutout to the very lovely lady who made theeeeee best pizza I have ever had in my life. She quite literally must have put tears of an angel into this zaaa. The vibes and drinks were good too!

    Great people, service and vibe. I stopped by when I was in the area after hearing about Sam's Silver Circle for years. I was alone and stopped by after work. By the time I left I felt like I had been going there for a decade. I met super nice regulars, the bartender was very kind and friendly, and the beer was cold. A great bar!

    We left Lafayette early so we could grab lunch at Sam's on our way downtown. We got there just after 11am on a Saturday and were the second people there. The bar was clean and the bartender and staff were friendly. I do not believe they had the back patio the last time we were here. It looked like a cool place to hang out and according to some in-bar advertising, you can rent the patio and get a keg and pizza for a group up to 75 people. Our draft beer was cold, which is always nice. If there was a way to give 3.5 stars, unfortunately I would. We came for the pizza and something has changed. We looked at pics that we had of pizza that we had eaten before and it was different. The cheese seemed, for lack of a better word, different. It seemed more like a premade pizza than I remember. I would get up early to make sure we came here for a few years ago pizza, but not for what we had yesterday. We enjoyed our time at Sam's as we always have. I wanted to enjoy the pizza more than I did.

    4.5 stars given for the pizza. The pizza there is delicious. The pizza was prepared with layers of cheese then your choice of toppings then cheese again. We had pepperoni, sausage and bacon. Crust was crusty and sauce was robust and savory. One of the best pizza I had.

    Classic dive bar! Definitely one of the best in Indy. Service is great and everyone who works there is very kind. Food is your standard bar food with the exception of breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Definitely will be back for some bingo! (Every other Tuesday)

    Had the best time at this bar sorry we found it last minute. Could've spent all day there! Jazmyn was amazing! She was so fun and poured fun drinks for us! Can't wait to come back next year. Thanks Jazmyn wish people were nicer to each other because you were great!

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.
