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.

Though gourmet pizza is old news now, sausage-and-pepperoni converts still can't get enough of the garden pizza, the Neptune or the quattro formaggio (clumped with ricotta and sweet tomato sauce, like a lasagna pizza--with bacon).

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.

I've had a lot of different pizzas and Bazbeaux is the only one I would consider calling an actual restaurant. It was actually fun and enjoyable to eat there! Other places are simply chains and don't have and can't reproduce that wonderful and unique atomosphere.

It's a good pizza, but I still prefer Jockamo's pizza, service, and community charm. I'll probably still go back to Bazbeaux every once in a while, but I won't go out of my way to drive there. Going for dinner is somewhat pricey and we had an incredibly long wait with not the best service. I'll give it another try though, and maybe I'd enjoy it more for lunch.

It was bussy and being able to see the kitchen from the waiting area helped get over the actual wait. The hosteses were... more

At one time, I used to like Bazbeaux's pizza. What happened? The last time I was there it was no better than Domino's. My husband was also disappointed. It just really had no flavor.

"Bazbeaux isn't really pizza" is one of the truest things I've ever heard about their exotic 'stuff on a bread disk' creations.

Their real attraction, the pièce de résistance at Bazbeaux are the speciality pies. The... more

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

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).
