Came here for a later dinner recently to enjoy some Chicago deep dish. I honestly had no idea there…read morewas anywhere in Indy to get it! 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.

Giordano's is a well-known name for Chicago-style deep dish, so my expectations were high, but…read morehonestly, the food didn't live up to them, and I don't think it's worth the price. We ordered online for delivery, and that may be part of it since deep dish really is best eaten fresh and hot rather than after a delivery trip. We tried the Meat and More Meat deep dish, which was very heavy. To be fair, that's probably just the style. Chicago stuffed pizza is rich, double-crusted, and seriously filling by design, but it was a bit much for us. We also got the family-size Rigatoni Bolognese. That one's actually worth the cost in terms of portion size; you get a lot of food. The flavor, though, was underwhelming. It wasn't bad, just not very flavorful. I can see why Giordano's has its fans, and the deep dish has a big following, but our experience was middle-of-the-road. If you're set on trying it, order for dine-in or pickup so it's fresh out of the oven.

If you're looking for the best pizza in Indianapolis, do yourself a favor and go to Bazbeaux. This…read morelocal institution is credited with helping create the "Indy gourmet" pizza style: innovative toppings on a thin, hand-tossed crust so we went in with high expectations, and it delivered. 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.

I have to laugh that my first review for this location of Bazbeaux, an Indy pizza icon since 1986,…read morewas actually my 300th Yelp review. Now, I'm over 1800 reviews and Yelp has become a huge part of my life. I was attending a nearby event related to Indy Shorts Film Festival and decided I wanted to visit Mass Avenue a bit once the event was over. This was early afternoon. After looking around a bit, I opted for a long-awaited return to Bazbeaux. Of course, a lot has changed in this area in the last few years. Parking prices are up (way up), though it's pretty plentiful with nearby street parking (metered) and parking along Mass Avenue. You also have a couple nearby parking garage options. Finding an accessible spot is fairly easy - curb cuts remain solid in this area and there continue to be some (but not all) crosswalks with audio. As was true nine years ago, accessibility on Mass Avenue can be challenging. That said, I think it has improved. I entered Bazbeaux and immediately noticed some improvement right away. There are two sides - a dining side, a bar side (with tables), and an aisle you can use for carry-out. The interior is warm, calming, and surprisingly intimate. The bar area is a bit louder, it's a bar area after all, but it's still pretty quiet. Service here remains strong. The hostess offered the bar area or a booth. Tables are not all wheelchair friendly, however, there are quite a few accessible options. My server, Samuel, was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. He paced my meal nicely - I ordered garlic bread, my usual unsweetened iced tea (I think they still serve Mighty Leaf - an unusual choice that I love). I ordered a small (10") pizza with one-topping (pepperoni). I lingered a little bit, though not excessively so like my last visit. This time around, I was alone and my meal time was more traditional. The prices were definitely higher than last time, however, what price isn't higher than nine years ago? They were on park with the market these days and I had no issues with it - I think my meal came in at about $19 for the pizza, garlic bread, and iced tea (and I did get my always desired refill). Bazbeaux is unique in that every location (Mass Ave, Broad Ripple, Carmel) is located along the Monon Trail. They all have outside dining options, as well. They serve beer and wine, sandwiches, pizza, and more. One thing I have to say - accessibility is improved. I was noticeably bothered by it the last time I was here. This time around, I was comfortable and could easily function (I did not try the bathroom). While I could still see it being a bit difficult when packed, I arrived at an ideal time and was quite comfortable. The food was good, the service was very good, the prices were fair, and the atmosphere was nice and peaceful after a busy morning event. It really hit the spot. So, yeah. Last time around, I gave Bazbeaux a 3-star review. This time, I'm forking over that 4th star.

It was definitely busy (clearly everyone had the same idea as we did), but we were seated quickly in a cozy booth. Michael took great care of us from the start. He was friendly, attentive, and gave awesome cocktail recommendations based on what we liked. I ordered the Strawberry Letter, and it was perfectly sweet, exactly what I was in the mood for. We decided to split a pepperoni pizza, and Michael hyped it up for a reason, it was SO good! It came out hot, packed with flavor, and even the crust was delicious (which says a lot). Parking can be a little tricky if street parking is full, but there is a nearby garage which makes it manageable. Overall, great vibes, great service, and great food.

We already paid for parking so eatery would have to be quickly within walking distance. We finally found the restaurant. It was late in the evening, and they were limited on already made pizza. Upon arrival, the pizza slices did not look appealing until my friend ordered her and the server asked if to heat. So I decided to order a cheese pizza for $4.91 cash else credit card fee, which was more than I would typically spend. The slice of pizza filled me up, but it was not anything special. I liked that heating toasted the crust. It was hot inside as the staff said it is a pizza parlor.

Thankfully, there was no wait, so we were seated immediately. We chose to sit outside since the weather was perfect. The outdoor seating was under a canopy, and the ground had this rocky/rubble vibe that gave it a cool outdoor patio feel. We grabbed a table near the TV so we could watch the basketball game. One thing I really liked was the activity table where you could color, play board games, or do trivia. They also had ping-pong, cornhole, and other cute activities for little kids, which made the atmosphere feel really fun and family-friendly. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to order, but I went with the Cobb salad. It was good, but I definitely needed extra dressing plus some salt and pepper to bring out the flavor. I'd come back for sure, but next time I'll probably try something different since the salad was just okay. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to bringing my family back to check this place out!

Everything else was pretty standard. This is located in the PNC building and it's only open during lunch. It's really hard to get to outside of that time. The service was great, though. The restaurant was very clean and had a cozy Italian decor. Overall it's a good spot for lunch if you work downtown or are doing something downtown M-F during the day. Otherwise the hours are way too restrictive. There are better pizza places that are actually open for dinner and on weekends. I would give this 3.75 stars if I could. The food is good, but the hours are limited.
