Who doesn't love pizza? If your answer is "me" then this is definitely NOT the article for you. This is a list of some of the best pizza the Indy area has to offer. Enjoy!
1. Puccini's Smiling Teeth Pizza & Pasta
With several locations all around Indy and a delivery service, it is hard to miss out on Puccini's. Not only is their pizza delicious, but they have (in my opinion) the best ranch dressing ever. Whether you prefer your ranch on a salad or as a dipping sauce for your pizza, Puccini's ranch if worth the try. I love to dip it in their Sweet Lil' Razorback, which is made up of pepperoni, smoked sausage, bacon, basil and garlic.
2. Bazbeaux Pizza
Located in Broad Ripple, Carmel and Downtown Indy Bazbeaux's pizza is absolutely amazing. I could eat here nightly if I had to. The Pizza Alla Quattro Formaggio is my personal favorite with romano, cheddar, ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, bacon and mushroom. Try it. You have to try it. Just try it.
3. Pizzology
This fresh Pizza joint is located in both Carmel and Downtown Indy. Pizzology is great for any occasion! The Homemade Sausage is a must have with fennel, onion, fennel sausage and peppadew peppers. And don't forget to order breadsticks, either, they won't disappoint!
4. Thr3e Wise Men Brewing Company
Yet another great Broad Ripple restaurant. Thr3e Wise men gives you popcorn to munch on while waiting for your pizza to be cooked which is totally awesome. While they have many great items on their menu, I like to order their pepperoni stuffed breadsticks with both cheese and marinara dipping sauces. Mmmmmm...!
5. Napolese Pizzeria
Fancy artisanal pizza that will make your mouth water. Napolese has several locations around Indy and several fantastic menu items to try! The Broken Yolk Margarita is a favorite of the simple pizza loves such as myself, but if you are feeling adventurous I suggest the Devotion to a Dream, black bean puree, housemade chorizo, cabbage, red onion, feta and salsa verde.
6. McKenzie River Pizza Co.
Located in both Indianapolis and Carmel, McKenzie River has a menu filled with dining options. I have a couple favorite pizzas, the Flathead and the Sedona. The Flathead is topped with Alfredo sauce, fajita chicken, bacon, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms and mozzarella. The Sedona is a Mexican style pizza with chipotle sauce, jack and cheddar, Santa Fe chicken, black beans, corn medley, tomatoes and scallions. Try them both!
7. Rockstone Pizza Pub
This family-friendly local restaurant is sure to impress, located in Indianapolis, Fishers and Nora. Rockstone Pizza Pub's menu offers many unique options, but my go-to order is the Potato Bacon Pie which is topped with olive oil, herb ranch, redskin potatoes, bacon, mozzarella and scallions. Dig in!
8. Mellow Mushroom
Last but not least a must-eat pizza place is Mellow Mushroom, a hip and artsy pizzeria located in Carmel. Among their numerous stone baked pizzas and calzones, I would have to recommend their House Special pizza: Red sauce base, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, ground Beef, ham, applewood smoked bacon, mushrooms, black olives, roma tomatoes, green peppers, onions and extra cheese. It is one packed pizza!
