I have only been here once but I would go back again. I just had a pepperoni pizza and it was ok...nothing life changing but pretty good pizza. It was certainly better than any of the major Pizza chains in town. I walked in the place in the evening and ordered it to go. The staff is very friendly and it didn't take long before I was on my way. Good place.
Review Source:LOVE. Their pizza is SO GOOD. I'm a huge fan. I'm not sure if I'd ever order the pasta again, I got that years ago and found it to be flavorless, but the pizza is totally worth the trip and the dough (see what happened there?). The four cheese pizza is my absolute favorite (I order it with sauce though since I'm not a vegetarian) and I just tried their house pepperoni last time I got it. Oh man, I'll get that one again in a heartbeat. Great, now I'm hungry......
Review Source:Want a really really REALLY great margherita pie? Get over Some Guys. Â The crispy golden crust crunches just right and doesn't leave you feeling heavy. Â If you want more toppings, great - they have them all, along with 'not your average delivery pizza' cheesy bread. Â Oh my goodness! Â Some people come in for that alone (the smell hits you as soon as you open the door).
This is a nice little spot for familes, lunch or a nice evening out. Â Be prepared to wait in line on the weekend, they're kind of famous around these parts, despite being somewhat hidden in a strip mall at the NE corner of 62nd & Allisonville.
The antipasto is traditional and authentic and there are plenty of homemade desserts to chose from, though I must admit, I've never had room for any. Â Their wine and beer list is extensive with plenty of local options. Â
Never been here? Â You don't know what you're missing!! Â Don't want to deal with the crowds of hungry people? Â Order it up for delivery - fuggetaboutit!
This place was good, but I would rather  go across the street to WB pizza. Their pizza sauce was just okay. And I prefer a more homemade tasting one. They had lots of combination ideas, and the food arrived quickly.  Rather small tables for a party of four and two pizzas. I would return, but only with one other person as not to feel crowded.
Review Source:First I grew up outside Chicago and I'm one of those Gino's East pizza assholes you hear about. Plus my Grandmother and her sister were first generation Italian Americans so I have been spoiled on pasta. This restaurant is nice great looking dinning space they have a little stage as you walked in very I guess trendy would be the best I can think to describe it. The pasta dishes I had the vodka sauce and my wife had the Alfredo. I wouldn't kick the vodka sauce out of bed for eating crackers , the Alfredo however was just sad tasted like warm milk not hint of flavor. Now for this pizza they are going on about it is maybe one of the better pizzas in the Indy area beats all of the chain places but still lacked a powerful flavor that would make me crave it. I like a messy pizza I want sauce there was very little. I won't go back but it's worth a try . Staff was good everyone was friendly. In my opinion seems over hyped.
Review Source:To me, there are 2 pizza places that sit above the abundance of others in Broad Ripple--Bebop, and Some Guys. Â When it comes to pizza, Some Guys nails it all. Â Their crust is perfectly crisp, their sauce is hearty and fresh with a hint of sweetness, their cheese is high quality, and they offer a huge variety of ingredients. Â I got a goat cheese, shrimp, and sun dried tomato pizza here once and I was riding high from it for a week. Â I've eaten here 3 or 4 times and have never had the same pizza, but it's been incredible every time. Â On top of that, the service has always been fast and friendly. Â Love this place.
Review Source:I should have tried the salad because it looked sooo good. Â Then they would have gotten a 5 star. Â Had the wood stove pizza. Â House pepperoni very good. Â Can really taste the fresh basil. Garlic bread just ok. Â Barbecue chicken not bad as well if you like a sweeter sauce. Â Would go again to try some others..... Maybe the buffalo chicken??
Review Source:ok, once again the amount of selected toppings seems inconsistent. Â ordered a meatball and mushroom pizza, well appointed. Â also added green pepper and onion - both invisible.
the folks making the pizza? Â I wouldn't let them wash my windshield at an intersection for a $1. Â Maybe that explains the inconsistency with applied toppings.
i'll try the red/yellow bell peppers on this one next time and will not order onions.
i don't get it......but you will on my next update......
I've heard a lot of good things about Some Guys Pizza, but didn't have a chance to go until recently. First, they aren't open on Monday, which, thanks to Yelp, saved me a trip across town for nothing.
Some Guys is in a strip mall next to a Big Lots. It's a rather plain looking place, and had I not heard about it, I wouldn't have given it a second thought just driving by and never would have tried it. Walking in even, you don't quite know what to expect. There are several small round bar tables that were empty and a counter at the opposite end. I again wondered what this place was, and if it was just carryout. Finally, after walking to the very back I saw the sign "please wait for hostess to seat" and knew I had to be missing something.
After checking in with the polite and friendly host, i was led back to a dining room that was almost full with people. It isn't a very big place, maybe 10 booths along the walls and 10 or so tables in the middle. The decor was a little outdated, reminding me of a cheesy Italian restaurant with fake ivy to try and make it look authentic (I guess, I don't know). I disagree with the reviews that say the place as a romantic ambience.. to me, it looked like any cheesy Italian restaurant you would see on TV.
A quick glace at the menu and I knew that my first opinion of Some Guys Pizza was completely wrong. I couldn't decide what to try; everything sounded absolutely amazing! From the reflection in the window I could see flames coming from the wood fired oven, which made the smells of fresh baked pasta and pizza permeate the entire place.
It was suggested by a friend who frequents Some Guys Pizza that I try either the House Sausage pizza or the Wood Fired penne pasta. Both sounded great, so I asked our server for a suggestion. She suggested the lasagna, a specialty served only on the first Friday-Sunday of the month guaranteed, and then every once in awhile as a special. It sounded great, but I stuck to my friends suggestion and went with the House sausage pizza. I also liked that I could order a small (8 inch) pizza and spend less than $10.
When the pizza arrived, I couldn't get into it fast enough. The flavors were amazing, and for a pizza without sauce, it couldn't have gotten any better. The crust was perfect; not too thick and not too thin and lightly sweetened by honey. It complimented the toppings on the pizza perfectly.
Before I knew it, I had completely devoured my pizza. I intended on saving half of it and taking it home for leftovers, but it almost seemed like a crime not to eat every bite right away.
The place may be in a strange location, and it might look a little cheesy inside, but the only thing that matters is the food, and Some Guys has hands down nailed it. There are several good pizza places in Indy, and this one just got added to my list. I'll be back very soon, and can't wait to work my way through the menu.
Location/Ambiance:
The restaurant-located-in-a-strip-mall thing is new to me. So after I got over that and walked inside I was totally pleased! They have a fairly small dining area but it was cozy and intimate.
Service:
Our server was excellent - attentive, gave us time to look through the menu and packed up our left overs in boxes (small gesture, but so many places end up giving you the box and in the tiny table its hard to dump the contents of the plate without accidents... OK fine I am known to be a little klutzy at times!) Apparently they messed up my order but they realized before they brought the food out so I had to wait a few minutes more...but I did not care. I really like that they noticed before bringing the food out!! Kudos!
Food:
Bread - garlic bread and Roma bread was OK not the best I have had.
Salad - pretty decent house salad with tomatoes, onions (ugh i hate chunky raw onions and this place sliced them real thin so i actually didn't pick them out of the salad), black olives, green peppers and lettuce. They also asked if I would like some freshly ground pepper on it (yes please!)
Pasta - tried the tomato basil sauce (the best i have ever had!!!)... it was sooo flavorful! I wonder if they sell just that by the bottle... (?) Also tried the vodka sauce extra spicy.... oh my! was freaking awesome ... like a cajun sauce.
Pizza - Thin crust but not too crispy... nice cheese and the Cilantro Goat Cheese Pesto is DELISHHH!
Side note: NO, I did not eat all this by myself. 1 order of pasta comes with salad and bread and the hubby and I could have split that and not have room for dessert.
Bazbaux has always been my go-to pizza place in Indy but lately, I've been choosing Some Guys based on the service. The pizza here is great, I've had some of there creations and made my own and every time I'm happy. The service is great, everyone is really friendly and multiple people come to the table to make sure your beers and water are full and you're enjoying your pizza. And to top if all off... sometimes they have Gumball Head on tap, how could you ask for more?!
Review Source:Tried this place on a whim and was impressed! Â We ordered the BBQ pizza, medium sized and it fed 2 of us with 4 pieces of leftovers. Â Thin crust pizza and the toppings were amazing and flavorful. Â The wait staff is very attentive and the place is very clean. Â From the outside you would never know what is inside the restaurant. Â Will definately eat here again.
Review Source:I really don't think Some Guys is "as good as it gets," but they have terrific salads (and dressings), delicious pizza, attentive and friendly service. Â The place is pretty small and can get quite packed and loud. Â They should be docked one star for not being open for lunch on weekends, but I suppose the staff needs some time off.
Review Source:If you are local to Indy, understand that the owner of Bazbeaux worked for Wolfgang Puck at Spago in LA (Puck was a chef in Indy before going to LA and becoming famous). The owners of Some Guys came from Bazbeaux. Later a crew left Some Guys and started Puccini's.
All these places are great. Really really local and great. 25+ years of consistently well-executed great.
They all have a little different twists on things, but all are fabulous upscale son-of-Wolfgang-Puck-inspired pizza and entres. California Pizza, for instance, failed here because Indy is a seriously great pizza town. Surprisingly.
Some Guys has been in this crappy strip mall for over 25 years, but the food rocks so much it transcends the location. Their location in Carmel is almost as bad but their food is just as amazing.
When I lived in Indy I worked right around the corner from Some Guys and went there all of the time for lunch.  Excellent midwestern pizza.  I say that because it isn't trying to be NY Style or Chicago Style (which I don't even consider pizza, but more of a casserole).  Anyway, Some Guys Pizza is consistently one of the best pizza places in Indy.  The crust is not too thick or not too thin, the bottom is crunchy from the super hot oven and cheese is always charred a bit around the edges and the toppings are always fresh.  The salads are also excellent.  I love how they pile on the fresh grated mozzerella and serve it in a cold bowl, like salad should be served.  Additionally, they  almost always have the latest Bell's seasonal beers available, which I can't get on the east coast.  Everytime I go back to Indy I make it a point to go here.
Review Source:This place ranks with the best pizza in town. Â I love their wood-fired oven pizzas. Â
We had *excellent* and quick service on a weekday night.
Nice cozy comfortable interior that you would not suspect from looking at the exterior in a strip mall.
Very popular among the yuppies who live between Keystone and Binford, from Broad Ripple to Castleton.
(If this place is ever packed, and the waiting line for a table is too long, check out WB Pizza on the SE corner of the same intersection, 62nd and Allisonville.)
Their small salads are very big, so if you get a salad adjust the size of your pizza down accordingly. Â Or, you could make a meal out of just a large salad.
Check their web site for their menu. Lots of unique and specialty pizzas.
After spending a lot of money and eating many meals here over the years, a recent experience has really turned us off to Some Guy's.
We've just moved from the Broadripple area to a home at the intersection of 71st & Shadeland and were craving some Some Guy's delivery.. We placed our order for a medium pizza and 2 small dinner salads ($30) and were told the delivery time would be 75-90 minutes. The girl on the phone confirmed our address and asked the nearest cross streets (which I gave).
Nearly an hour after placing our order, I get a call from the girl who took our order saying that we were "technically out of their delivery area" but that they'd make an exception for us since it was on the borderline (Shadeland). I thanked the girl and said I'd make sure to take good care of the driver.
20 minutes later, another call from Some Guy's. The manager "Charlie" calls to say that we are outside of the delivery area AGAIN - and that they "aren't allowed to deliver east of Shadeland." Â I explain the conversation I had with the girl, and he doesn't care.
I can understand if we lived a distance outside of their delivery area, but living on the exact borderline should have resulted in the manager doing the right thing, especially after us waiting so long.
Sorry Charlie, but we won't be back. It's a shame that your lack of customer service ruined a restaurant we enjoyed.
Don't be put off by the small sign, the tiny door, or the slightly shabby looking strip mall it is in. Â Once you cross the doors, you enter into one of the nicest locally owned pizza joints in Indy! Â The room is cozily decorated and the boots fit that scale. (OK, fine, they're tiny.) Â
The pizza menu is extensive, from traditional toppings to more unexpected items for Indianapolis. Â Get the 10 inch and have it cooked it their brick wall oven. Â We ordered a Santa Fe, which had a spiciness and a light sweetness from their tasty tomato sauce. Â We also tried the goat cheese appetizer which was amazing, definitely recommended! Â
Local breweries were represented both on tap and in bottles. Â Just because this sin't in the coolest neighborhood is no excuse not to try out
one of Indy's longest-running independent restaurants.
(Just please fix the bathroom door in the women's room so it locks. Thanks.)
Had the monthly lasagna special. Â Came with salad and an order of garlic beard.
If you don't mind being unhealthy, ask to have the cheesy beard instead of the salad and order the lasagna burnt (its like an edge piece, crisy and crunchy.
Get the wood oven pizzas, they only come in 10 inch, but are worth it.
I know this place has lots of fans, and I like it, too, but I think it's good. Here's the breakdown:
Atmosphere: a little dark for me. I like their booths, the canopied idea is nice, but it all feels a little too mysterious and shady in there.
Service: A-Ok. Drinks were refilled, service was prompt. But it was what I would expect. Nothing fabulous and nothing horrible.
Food: We ordered a small garden salad and a small Hawaiian pizza. Both were good. The pizza was yummy and I liked the crust. But did it blow me away? Am I dying to go back? No.
All in all, I found it good. To be honest, I prefer WB's which is one strip mall over.
A cozy, great restaurant with wonderful service and what I have come to determine as the best locally owned pizza in Indy. Â Yes! Â It's true!
$2.40 gets you the roma bread for an app, which I have found is just the right way to start off...$2.40! Â The house salads are filled to the brim with leafy greens (no iceberg here), olives, onions, and lots of freshly shredded mozzarella. Â The italian dressing w/ gorgonzola is lick bottom of bowl amazing.
The pizza has a not too chewy crust, with just the right amount of sweetness and crunch in your mouth goodness. Â While awesome vegetarian pizzas are clearly labeled, for some reason I can't stop ordering spinach and caramelized onions on mine every time I go. Â Meat eaters will rejoice as well.
All in all, two people can order an app, salads, and huge pizza with some leftovers and a couple beers all for under $40.00. Â Great for a date, family night, or on your own. Â Basically great always!
You know how there are some of those places that are on strip malls and you think to yourself, there is no way that place is any good. Some Guy's definitely looks like that type of place from the outside. It's on a small strip mall right next to the tanning salon and big lots. If you stopped reading this post now, you would probably never go.
But take a chance and stop inside. I have lived in Indianapolis almost my entire life, and Some Guy's is probably my favorite place to go. It isn't very big, so it has that hole in the wall feel. Every time you go, you almost feel like its your little secret. The people there are really friendly and good with orders and speed. It even makes for a great place to pick up pizza to go.
The food is incredible, they use a wood oven stove which makes for some great pizza outside the normal delivery stuff you might get. I recommend the barbecue chicken pizza. I think it has won an award for best pizza in the city, and lives up to the hype. I'm also about as big of a meat eater as you get, but I would be content to eat their salads for the rest of my life. They dump them all together without mixing up the greens. It seems odd, but actually makes it kind of nice, so you can separate anything you don't like. For me, its the black olives.
As for price, it is totally affordable and won't cost anymore than any chain pizza place. Make a stop in, its worth it.
For a dull moment I pondered this profundity: I wonder if there's a pizza delivery in Indy I haven't tried...
And thanks to the walking-breathing version of Yelp that I live with... Some Guys pizza was confirmed as the place to try.
Next profundity: I'll just take the first thing their menu offers (really... first thing I see... I'll order.) Whoa... Jerk Chicken Pizza! Hokay!
Delivery minimum? Nope. $1 charge no matter the price.
Deliver to Broad Ripple? "College Ave is our boundary. You have to be on the East side..." So this really does happen! Like in Seinfeld... I mean thankfully I was on the East side... but say I'm directly across the street -- no soup? I might befriend someone across the street to test these waters.
Delivery guy on time. Hot pizza. Whoa... that really is a jerk chicken pizza. And, that's legit Jamaican jerk, too.
Burnt crust is just fine by me because I like the taste of burnt things (really).
This pizza is giving bazbeaux a run... I had no idea. This spot is entirely legit, and locally owned by, well, some guys?
Long live the frenzy over gourmet frisbee discs of pie delites!
Best pizza in Indy, hands down. Â My parents order from here a couple times a month and I have eaten their pizza a few dozen times. Â Never once were the toppings wrong (no onion, extra cheese, etc) and the delivery time is always worth the wait. Â I highly recommend the Bomb, Hawaiian and Cajun pizzas - none will disappoint. Â
Aside from delivery, Some Guys also makes for an enjoyable early evening pizza and beer stop.  Though it is a bit more common now, Some Guys has had Blue Moon on tap for as long as I can remember.  They can be a bit crowded in the evening, but I have never had to wait long for a table, and they have a small, crowded area for you to order a beer or two while  you wait.
Definitely agree that Some Guy's solidly trounces Bazbeaux. My favorite pizza is the four-cheese with no sauce and pecans (fantastic!) but I also love the "southwestern" inspired one with the cilantro and chicken, primarily because they bring a big ole giant bowl of sour cream to smear on top of it. And if there's anything better in this life than cilantro-and-chicken-topped pizza smeared with appalling amounts of sour cream, I really don't know what it is. Plus, I heart the wrought-iron booths and the famous paintings transposed to the key of pizza.
I'm dying to come back to try the crab ravioli with lemon caper sauce. That sounded amazing. Sadly, I didn't see it until after we'd already ordered!
Best antipasto salad in town, no holds barred! Sorry Bazbeaux, you know I love ya', but Some Guys makes an antipasto salad that would have given my Italian grandma's some pretty stiff competition. This baby is chock full of crisp lettuce, artichoke hearts, capiccola, salami, black olives, tomatoes, onions....all lovingly showered with a slightly sweet balsamic vinaigrette. I have been a Some Guys fan since I first moved to Indy back in the 90s...it's good to know that the antipasto salad and pizzas here have remained the same over all these years. On our last visit, we had the flatbread appetizer, which should be called "flat, melted, crispy around the edges cheese" appetizer. Seriously, the "bread" in this thing is so thin, you could read through it! Add to the cheese a little basil pesto and a topping of roma tomato slices and mmm...mmm...mmm!
Our pizza that night was the Santa Fe - the wood-fired version. Loved the  crust, loved the toppings, but especially loved the chicken. This was not that weird, uniform, pre-packaged chicken strip stuff; rather, I'm going out on a limb and saying that Some Guys actually uses real chicken breast and cuts it up themselves. You can taste the difference! Quaint, family-owned, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere that makes you feel you're in Little Italy in (insert big city with a Little Italy neighborhood). The only downside to our meal: not having enough room to indulge in the coconut cream pie gelato :-(
So, I felt obligated to try this place out after it received some top nods from NUVO's "Best Of" issue. Well, I don't get it. It was ok...just ok. Nothing special here, tons of toppings, too many in fact. We ordered the "Bomb" and everything just fell off the slice as I picked it up. The crust is plain, nothing inspired, although I was happy to see it was a New York style as opposed to that Chicago style trash, and the delivery time was impeccable (20 minutes on an hour quote). The sauce, also was pretty unexceptional, and I was kinda bummed that my pizza came with a topping that was not listed on the menu. We also had some cheesy garlic bread...which is sadly uncreative and pretty trite.
All in all, it was an acceptable slice. Best of Indy? Naw, but its ok.
Some Guys has great pizza and salads for Indianapolis. Â They get four stars because the food is wonderful and they deliver to our neighborhood. Â Bazbeaux doesn't (and won't consider it) even though it's a whole lot closer than Some Guys is.
All the pizzas I've had here are great. Â Salads are too! Â Haven't tried the pasta so can't comment on that.
Don't forget to try the pesto garlic bread with goat cheese. Â mmmm!
Some Guys Pizza is probably the best pizza in the city.
That being said, it's not a hard distinction to come by, in my opinion.
Some Guys has several things working for it. It's not a big chain, so it feels a bit more special when you spring for dinner here. They also offer a lot on their menu ... not just a few obvious toppings thrown on dough.
Our favorite is the BBQ pizza, and we always get it to go. Â Salads are yummy as well!
My opinion: Much better than Bazbeaux.
Note: Dining room is tiny and usually quite busy--especially on the weekends.
Some guys is a great pizza place. Â The only reason that it gets less attention than Bazbeaux is location. Â With that said, Some Guys is in a much more convenient location that either Bazbeaux. Â There is ample parking without the Broadripple or Mass Ave. fuss.
The pizza is very good, with several wood fired pizzas with excellent high-quality ingredients. Â Their salads are great, come out lightening fast and have enough cheese to keep me smiling for days. Â Service has always been excellent. Â I've been seated without a wait several times. Â The atmosphere is nice, with an open kitchen that is suprisingly quiet. Â It's very easy to have a conversation. Â Would be a great place for a date.
Never had any pasta from here, so can't really comment on that.
