Little York Pizza & Tavern

Went there with my kids on 4/6/2013 for dinner, wish I hadn't. It must have been biker night or something because there were alot of them. Sat down and was finaly greeted 10 minutes later. Food was ok, how can you mess up grilled cheese and pizza? Food delivery was very slow for the mentioned items, I mean a grilled cheese takes like 2 minutes and pizza (9inch) should be quick too...took 25 minutes to get food. Won't be back anytime soon, bad dining experience.

4120 Little York Rd. is the address...you can see the sign from the interstate.

I have memories of eating pizza at Little York Tavern from waaaay back...when it was at the old location that looked like a big weird house. If we didn't feel like going all the way to Marion's, my dad and my uncle would bring my cousins and I here. I remember it being dark, and me feeling like I was getting away with something...it did not feel like somewhere children were supposed to be. Now, the restaurant is in a building that used to be a Damon's. It's a big building with several pool tables, a big bar, a big patio, and plenty of seating.

We met my parents there on our way from Columbus back to Indy, and I really wish we hadn't. The server had no personality and disappeared between drop-offs. Things started going wrong with the beverages. I want to add that the place had been open at least an hour by the time we arrived, and that there were 3-4 other tables at 12:35.

Both of my parents ordered iced tea with lemon. My dad took a drink of his and grimaced "I think this is sweet tea." My mom took a sip of hers and said "Mine doesn't taste sweet," she takes another drink "It doesn't have much flavor at all." I held her glass up...it was clear. Both of them had gotten a glass of water, which the server insisted was tea. Her response was NOT "Sorry...I'll check the fountain, maybe it ran out," it was "Everyone likes the tea...if you don't like it I will get you some water."

We ordered 2 pizzas. Even though meatballs aren't listed as a topping, you can get them as a pizza topping. I ordered a pizza with sausage and meatballs. The toppings were really good but the sauce and crust were lacking...not bad, just kind of bland. It tasted like cheap frozen pizza with good toppings put on. The Hawaiian was described as "boiled ham and pineapple with white sauce." The pineapple looked like it had been microwaved and thrown on top of the pie after it came out of the oven. The white sauce? Was it ranch? Was it alfredo? NO! It was mayonnaise! Straight up nasty. My parents both like mayo, my boyfriend and I do not. So, if you like mayo enough to sub it for pizza sauce, you may enjoy LYT's white sauce. Did I mention the pizzas took about 40 minutes to arrive? When they did get there, we didn't have silverware, napkins, or plates. We asked the server for to-go boxes, packed up our pizzas, then had to hail her about 10 minutes later to ask for the check! We sat there with the check for 10 more minutes, then finally gave up on plastic, pulled out cash, stood up, and put our coats on. "Oh...were you ready?" she says. Food was "meh" and service was poor...beer selection was lousy too, which is why we all ended up drinking water. I will not go back. I would describe the decor as "tacky man cave meets garage sale leftovers".

The only reason this place gets 2 stars, not one, is because none of us got food poisoning and the food was hot when it arrived.

If you really like lite beers and a patio though, it might be an ok spot to hang out, drink beer, shoot pool, and smoke on the patio. I'll never know.

Great pizza.  Casual, sporty atmosphere.  TVs all over the place and a number of pool tables.
