There are several places to get pizza by the slice downtown, but you can only get a slice of Quattro formaggio from these jokers. Slammed at lunch, busy at dinner, Bazbeaux has been an anchor during Mass. Ave.'s resurgence.

The Scene Back in the mid-'80s, Bazbeaux slashed its way through the fern bars to become the first place in Indy to scatter sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts on thin-crust pizza. The concept caught on, and plenty of diners tossed back a Bartles & James on that rickety porch next to the fire station in Broad Ripple, or ordered white zinfandel by the glass inside... more

In my opinion, Bazbeaux has the best pizza ever, even better than pizza in New York City, which is supposed to be the world's best. They have out-of-the-ordinary, but delicious, toppings, but the best thing about this place is the ambiance. It's such a cool place, and in warm weather, what's better than a great meal, al fresco?

If you think romance is out of the question try sitting downstairs! The room is dimly lit by warm recessed lights that further accentuate the yellow hued walls. Most of the tables only seat two and it is a lot quieter downstairs than up. When you eat downstairs you are not exposed to all the frantic waitstaff bustling about or the noises from a lot of people squeezed into a small space.

Everyone else speaks the truth it is great pizza. The only other local pizza restaurant I'd put up there is Puccini's. Don't make it down to Bazbeaux's too often but every time I have it was great. randydaytona at 08:36 PM on 02/03/08

Not pizza. Gourmet Pizza. Its not deep dish, its not NYC style, its just simple, damn good pizza. Hit it up for lunch to try a slice...Hit it up for dinner and buy a bottle.

"Bazbeaux isn't really pizza" is one of the truest things I've ever heard about their exotic 'stuff on a bread disk' creations. Of course their pizza is good, the usual you know with tomato paste and cheese and some veggies, or even just the cheese. Hopefully though, that's not why you go to Bazbeaux. Their real attraction, the pièce de résistance at Bazbeaux are the speciality pies. The... more

This adds somthing to the city. Not the same thing at an I-hop! Loved the way the waiter knew the menu. And would explain how they would make it. Also he shared there trade secrets. Using fresh ingrediants, cooked at the time you ordered.

Yes we do! Living in a world of PaPa's and Domono's it is a shame the chain masses don't understand what an upper crust pie is. The atmosphere is artsy and eclectic with a fantabulous aroma!

My wife and two kids (2 and 3 mos.) had a luncher at Bazbeaux today, and it was a great experience. We got a great piece of the downtown lunch bustle, but the service was faster than McDonald's.

I love Bazbeaux as much as anyone else, but my coworkers and I have repeatedly run into problems when we send in an order for pickup. Frequently people are given the wrong salad dressings, and by the time you're back in the office, you are out of luck. Or, a pizza has a mixed up topping. Also, the leisurely atmosphere is nice -- unless you are at an outside table and want your drink refilled. ... more

I really like the dining flexibility Bazbeaux's offers. Need something quick and ready to go? Pop in and grab a slice for lunch. Or perhaps you have some friends in town and you're looking for a restaurant unique to Indy? Sit down, order some drinks, ask for the famous quattro formaggio and enjoy the atmosphere.

One of my favorite meals of all time: red wine and Bazbeaux's Quattro Formaggio. I generally take the pizza to go, since the place is rather packed on most nights (and I'm not one for waits). For a less filling variation, try the tasty Bayou Chicken instead of the Quattro. kevin at 11:36 AM on 10/12/07

Bazbeaux is a great place to eat, sit and talk or just people watch. They have great unique pizzas with all types of toppings depending on what you like. Not a Pizza Hut or Papa John's by any means. The staff is not overly friendly and gives you time to choose from the large selection. Everytime I have eaten at Bazbeaux's I've wanted to go back again soon. I highly recommend this pizza!
