I must have forgotten to log this one away this past fall!
I recommend that everyone try Bazbeaux's at least once! It is incredible to me how quickly Bazbeaux has become an Indianapolis staple! If you like craft beer and fresh ingredient pizza, then may I suggest the next time you think Pizza you think Bazbeauxs?
Love the decor and how uniquely they fit into Carmel's Art and design district just off the Monon. The only downside is that they do not a huge amount of seating. If you are looking for a group setting, you are best to order to go.
Man I miss Bazbeaux. Being an Indy native recently transplanted to Southern California where nobody knows how to make a good pie, I had to visit my local Bazbeaux while I was back in town for business. I had not been to this location in Carmel before, but met a friend here for lunch and they didn't disappoint. I ordered my old favorite, the Colussus and man it hit the spot. I like the outdoor patio seating at this location. This was an $11 lunch which is a bit pricey for your everyday lunch, but I had to do it while I was in town.
Review Source:If it weren't for Bazbeaux Pizza, my parents would probably lose 50% of their social life. In my opinion, this was one of the best things to ever happen to downtown Carmel. Bazbeaux offers awesome food and outdoor seating which is so nice when wanting a night downtown Carmel. I wish there were more places that allowed you to eat and enjoy the city in a non-uppity way. The pizza is good every time and the Greek salad is phenominal. Brings a small-town feel to such a big suburb.
Review Source:Bazbeaux definitely hit the spot when I was craving pizza over the weekend.  We were told the wait would be twenty minutes for three people but it was more like ten minutes.  Bonus points.  We feasted on the Bazbeaux Special, the Luke, and the Colossus.  At first I was disappointed that it appeared the Colossus didn't have much on it until my boyfriend took a big bite and was delighted to find most everything was under the cheese.  Whew.  He devoured that ten inch in record speed (so he was either really hungry or anxious to get to a tv showing the Reds game!).  Our friend had The Luke which features bleu cheese and celery among other things.  He liked the first few slices but even smothering the pizza in ranch dressing didn't help the overpowering taste of bleu chesse after awhile.  Nonetheless, all but one piece was eaten.  Now, the best pizza in my opinion, is the awesome Bazbeaux Special chock full of garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil.  Does it get any better?  No, no it does not.  When I hear the words "pizza pie" I immediately think of the Bazbeaux Special and drool on my chin a little.  Good stuff.  The only downfall is that the service was a little slow and it wasn't overly busy by the time we ordered.  That really isn't  enough to stop me from coming here again and again.
Review Source:I recently switched to a vegan diet and Bazbeaux is very vegan friendly. I had the veggie pizza without cheese. It was piled high with fresh toppings and the crust was tasty as well. Great location on the Monon in Carmel. Nice outdoor seating area as well. Will definitely be back. There are so many different pizzas I want to try.
Review Source:Five of us went to Bazbeaux for Dinner.Very busy on a Thursday night. Â Ordered two of the large pizzas {16 inch Pizza Ala Quattro formaggio and the Greek. }which was perfect for five. Â Good variety of pizzas. Ordered the large house salad ..menu said all large salads served four...would say best described as serves three. Another in the party ordered the Nocise Salad which was larger than house, and he said was very good. The Basil cream dressing was excellent. Â Had a second server come up to us after seated 15 minutes and had already ordered drinks...and she said she was to take our drink order. She implied there was confusion over who was to serve who.Very good beer selection. Spent around $100 for 5.
Review Source:I'm not new to Bazbeaux Pizza, but I was new to the Carmel location last Saturday evening. Â Sat outside and listened to a live jazz band, enjoyed a couple of Sun King Cream Ales and mushroom and fresh basil (try it, it's good!) pizza. Â Also had a house salad that was pretty decent...nothing to write home about (the salad, that is), but nothing to complain about either.
30 minute estimated wait for outdoor seating, it actually was *maybe* a 20 minute wait. Â On a Saturday night around 7:30 PM.
I know you (yes...YOU) have been waiting for another Yelp! review of Bazbeaux, so feel free to show some love, compliment this outstanding review and make it Review of the Day. Â Go ahead. Â Seriously. I Â double-dog dare you.
While the food was great, the service and accommodation for a small group with a baby was something less than desirable.
Thumbs up:
#1 The food was delicious hot and mostly correct
#2 Love that they are serving up local brews
#3 Outdoor patio area is a nice addition
Here are a list of complaints
#1 Don't bother to call ahead; not only do they not take reservations, they can't/won't tell you how long the wait is.
#2 Our 20 minute wait turned into an hour and 20 minutes.
#3 Our server got our drink order in right away, then disappeared for another 20+ minutes before she bothered to take our order
#4 After we finally were served we never saw our waitress again until the bills came.
#5 Some of us who ordered only water got charged for sodas which might not be such a huge deal if we didn't have a never before seen a forced 20% gratuity (usually 18%) on such shotty service.
#6 They have an unspoken "no stroller" rule, so be prepared to lug your diaper bag through the place. This could be particularly irritating if your baby has fallen asleep.
Just a tip: Street parking can be kind of tricky on a busy Friday or Saturday night so be prepared for a little bit of a walk.
A+ food
D- customer service
Stopped in with the family a while back during a road trip. We were seated quick, the service was friendly and prompt. Pizza arrived at our table in a very timely fashion. Ordered a Margherita and one I can't really remember (had cheddar, bacon, ham...I posted a pic of them). Cooked thoroughly, seasoned well, crust was very good. I do remember the bathrooms being a bit unkempt... All in all, a very enjoyable lunch at Bazbeaux Pizza. If we make it back to Carmel, it's definitely worth another shot.
Review Source:I went here with a few coworkers for lunch and it was fantastic. The atmosphere is great and it's in a really nice location in the arts district of Carmel. We went for lunch and there weren't a lot of people there, which made it a really great experience. We each got a ten inch pizza. I ordered the bayou chicken pizza and was completely pleased with my order. Another coworker got the pizza alla quattro formaggio and another ordered the Greek pizza. Everyone was very pleased with what they ordered. The service was friendly and for a sit-down pizza restaurant, we didn't have to wait very long for our order. The only downside to this restaurant is that it's a little on the expensive side. It was over $40 for the four of us. But I suppose if you want larger, cheaper pizzas you could always go to Pizza Hut.
Review Source:The service was almost comically impeccable. The pizza was ok. We got the bazbeaux special and something that started with a C that we all called nacho pizza. The sauce was good but the pizza had too much cheese. Their homemade salad dressings were great too. The water was icky though.
Review Source:In Carmel you have some good, non-chain pizza choices: Bazbeaux, Pizzology, Some Guys, and Greek Tony's (among others, sorry if I've missed some).
I typically prefer Bazbeaux for the quality of the ingredients and the unique pizza choices. My friends have always complained that they think Bazbeaux is a little on the expensive side. But when you look at the cost of pizza nowadays, everyone is raising their prices (and trying to compensate with a "delivery fee" that doesn't even make it to the drivers).
As I said in my review of Bub's, Bazbeaux is one of the places to be in Carmel on a nice warm night. It's always fun to hang out with friends on the patio and enjoy a couple slices of Bazbeaux pizza.
My personal favorites include the pizza alla quattro formaggio (without the bacon and mushrooms), BBQ, and the Hawaiian. Sometimes I enjoy the quattro with mushrooms, but the last time the mushrooms tasted a little more "mushroomy" than normal.
If you come on a nice night, prepare to have a little bit of a wait, especially if you want to sit on the patio. I've never had bad service there and even with it being busy, I've never waited too long for my pizza to arrive.
Bazbeaux Pizza is pretty good no matter which location you choose. I personally like the Broad Ripple location, only because I can walk along the Broad Ripple Canal after dinner. But the Carmel location is a close second. :-)
P.S. The lunch special is okay and I'm glad they have it, but I prefer dining there for dinner.
Higher-end tasting pizza and a cheapo price.
WIN!
The ingredients all tasted fresh, the pie was hot, and I even ate the crust (I hate crust).
It was ordered for takeout and it was ready on time.
After that, it's all a pizza-devouring blur.
The bbq pizza was delightful and so was the meat-filled monstrosity.
It was worth the few extra bucks paid to avoid having a national-chain pizza (sorry, Dominos. I know you've updated your pizza but you don't have anything on this dough).
Pizza here is outstanding. Love the toppings choice and their willingness to work with my son's milk allergy. Like everyone else reviewing this place, the service can be bad at times. Not sure why but the women who work here are bad. The guys who have taken care of us in the past have always been much better. I will go every time my kids ask though because their pizza is great and spinach salad is outstanding.
Review Source:Pizzology is my favorite pizza place in Indy, by far, but last night they dissed us. Â We drove all the way up to 130st Street to feed our Pizzology craving, only to find a sign on the door saying they were closed for a staff appreciation night.
Feeling slightly disgruntled, we headed over to Bazbeaux and found that Bazbeaux on Main Street has something that Pizzology doesn't: an outdoor patio overlooking the Monon Trail which is a lovely place to eat on a summer evening.
The pizza is decent, although a little too salty, and the service can be harried, but it does the job.
Let me start by saying that I love Bazbeaux pizza, I really do.
My 3-star only rating for this location, however, comes from my two most recent experiences, one in-house and one delivery.
The in-house visit found us sitting on the terrace on a not-too-busy weeknight, yet we had to ask several times for our server to bring more water, our cheesbread took forever to arrive and worst of all, when we were ready to pay...we waited, and waited, and waited. Our server was not unfriendly at all, but we were not impressed, especially given that this was not a busy Friday evening.
Cut to our delivery experience a few weeks down the road: terrible! We always and I mean, always, order an antipasto salad with whatever pizza we choose. When we get our order, what do we find but a large regular tossed salad. Sure enough, we were charged for the large antipasto, but that's not what we received. To add insult to injury, we were put on hold by the person answering the phone when we called to ask for our correct salad...it seems that only a manager can make such a "command" decision, please!! After at least a five minute wait, the manager came on the phone and said something like, "these things happen, man....what would you like me to do for you?" Excuse me???? Suffice it to say we finally did get our salad -
about 40 minutes later, after our pizza had been eaten and there was no refund, gift certificate or any such enticement to overlook this incident. Bottom line: no problems with the food, but service seems to be a little less than stellar of late at this location. Downtown location is still my favorite.
One more thing: the tartufo dessert is fantastic!
