Did you know 100% of Indiana residents say pizza is their favorite food? Okay, I made that up, but I have to imagine it’s pretty close to that considering the amount of amazing pizza restaurants in Indy and Indiana! I know our city has some strong opinions on the best pizza in Indianapolis, so if you don’t see your favorite on this list, don’t fret! I am looking for new spots to try in 2026. Leave a comment telling me where to go next!
Here are just a few pizza spots I have tried recently in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas:

DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS PIZZA
Bonk 📍 1125 E Brookside Ave, Indianapolis, Indiana
If you’ve heard of the Fowling Warehouse on Mass Ave where you can play a version of football/cornhole/bowling, then you might have heard the news that they are now selling Bonk Pizza for players! So if you’re looking for a night out in Indy idea that involves food AND an activity, definitely try this place out!
Shin Dig 📍 1351 Roosevelt Ave, Indianapolis, Indiana
Shin Dig is one of Cunningham Restaurant Group’s newest concepts, and they’re already serving some of my favorite pies in the city. We tried the Butcher’s Pie, Bama BBQ Chicken, and Woodstock pizzas. Each one was unique and delicious. I am also obsessed with their outdoor patio. They have ping pong, cornhole, board games, fire pits, and more! Shin Dig was voted the Best Pizza in Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Pizza Fest.
Bazbeaux 📍 329 Massachusetts Ave, Indianapolis, Indiana
Bazbeaux in downtown Indy is a classic. Whether you’re out bar-hopping on Mass Ave, exploring local shops, or just in the mood for solid pizza, Bazbeaux is here for you. Bazbeaux also has locations in Broad Ripple and Carmel, Indiana, but I tried the one on Mass Ave.
Gather 22 📍 22 E 22nd St, Indianapolis, Indiana
Gather 22 in the Fall Creek Place neighborhood of Indy is ALWAYS the vibe! This is one of my favorite places to take out-of-town visitors because the food is great, they have outdoor seating (including cute little swings), and occasional events. They serve Byrne’s Grilled Pizza which also has their own location in Broad Ripple.
NORTH INDIANAPOLIS PIZZA SPOTS
Napolese 📍 The Fashion Mall at Keystone 8702, Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis, Indiana
New favorite date night spot in Indy? Napolese in the Keystone Mall has great food, amazing pizza, and all the romantic vibes. Grab some Italian at this must-visit Indianapolis restaurant, then wander the Keystone Mall after. I love a little window shopping 😉 Napolese also has a location in Broad Ripple, Indianapolis.
Big Lug Canteen 📍 1435 E 86th St, Indianapolis, Indiana
One of the best biergartens in Indy! Plus, their pizza is awesome. I can’t wait to come back to this one every year when the weather warms up. Big Lug Canteen in Indianapolis is right on the Monon Trail. So, you can stop in for a little pizza and beer and enjoy a nice stroll afterward.
3UP Rooftop Lounge 📍 201 W Main St, Carmel, Indiana
I might be cheating with this one because it is definitely more of a “flatbread” situation, but the Pig & Fig at 3UP in Carmel, Indiana is definitely a must-try! Especially if you are enjoying it on their gorgeous rooftop.
WEST INDIANAPOLIS PIZZA RESTAURANTS
Daredevil 📍 1151 N Main St, Indianapolis, Indiana
Daredevil also has a location in the Ironworks District just north of Indianapolis. This location is in Speedway right down the street from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! So any Indy 500 fans planning a trip to Indy this May should check this one out! Their beer garden/outdoor patio is super nice too.
The Prewitt 📍 121 W Main St 1st floor, Plainfield, Indiana
Once again another flatbread situation at The Prewitt Restaurant + Lounge in Plainfield, Indiana. However, I definitely wanted to include it for a little west side representation. 🤭 Plus, they use Smoking Goose meats on this flatbread which is a local charcuterie supplier in Indy that you already know I love.
The Green Room Cafe 📍 200 W Main St, Plainfield, Indiana
Who doesn’t love a coffee to cocktails spot? The Green Room Cafe in Plainfield, Indiana is serving up lattes and pastries by morning, and martinis and flatbreads by night. They rotate their menu seasonally, but there is always a delicious flatbread pizza on the menu to try!
