Pie Five | Indianapolis, IN
Pie Five strives to serve customized personal pizzas featuring fresh ingredients as quickly as possible. Even their fountain drink machine fits the customization theme as it is one of the Coke machines that allows you to come up with almost any soda concoction.

Broad Ripple Brewpub | Indianapolis, IN
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2015, Broad Ripple Brewpub is known as Indiana’s first brewpub. The Brewpub looks like a typical English pub on the inside with dark wood paneling, a tin ceiling, and even a fireplace. Plus, it has a large patio that can seat up to seventy people during nice weather. Broad Ripple Brewpub has […]
Shoefly Public House | Indianapolis, IN

Shoefly is located at 22nd and Talbott Street in Indianapolis and was created to offer this area a place for a quick […]

Part of their draw may be that they have something for everyone with one of the biggest menus I have ever seen. […]
Oobatz! Restaurant | Indianapolis, IN

There is a somewhat interesting color-changing mood lighting wall in their restaurant at Keystone at the Crossing that causes some odd changes in hue in my pictures […]
Giorgio’s Pizza | Indianapolis, IN

In addition to salads, pasta, and subs, Giorgio’s offers both Sicilian thick crust pizza and Neopolitan thin crust pizza (basically New York-style) by the […]
Chuck E. Cheese’s | Indianapolis, IN
The fact that I visited a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant with other grown men should help show that I will leave no stone unturned in my search for the best pizza. While it probably won’t be winning any awards soon, their pizza was pretty decent and was certainly better than I expected. It had a fairly […]
