Bellacinos

Pizza and grinders are always very good! However, even when they aren’t busy it still takes about 25 – 30 mins just to get an 8″ pizza. Also, they offer breadsticks but never seem to have any left when I come for lunch. Staff is somewhat friendly. The kitchen is open to the dining room so unfortunately you can hear the staff yelling and banging pans around. I would recommend this place for a delivery or pick up, but not for dining in (unless you have time to kill).

Really good service and pretty good pizza. Not my favorite but in my top ten. I hope the business picks back up with the bridge over Meridian done. With the new construction on 31 you can no longer get there from right off Meridian.

The food tasted as expected. Tasty if a bit greasy, but in that good fast food way.
The service was the part that has me skipping a future visit. It was slow. Terribly slow. And the crew was disorganized and had to come back to me to see what I ordered.
I ordered an Italian Grinder in case you were curious. No special instructions. I was in a hurry and asked how long the fastest thing took. Was told a grinder the fastest thing and that it would take about five minutes.
18 minutes later I got my sandwich. Oh well.

This was the best pizza, especially being form out of town. We wanted something local and with a family made flare. Their special pizza and meat lovers were the best!

Bellacino’s was an occasional lunchtime visit when I worked in the area. I didn’t think much about Bellacino’s because I have so many options literally within walking distance. But when you compare Bellacino’s pizza and grinders versus the big name places, it is worth a little bit of a drive.
The last time we had a big family gathering, had their BBQ chicken pizza and a cheese pizza, plus a couple large grinders. All of that fed 10 people and we had leftovers. Their BBQ chicken pizza just is head and shoulders above the competition. Grinders were large enough to serve 4 people each.
I know that Carmel Drive is under construction and their lunch business has to be down, so I will be coming in more often.

Thought the food was decent but service was horrific.
We went in over the lunch hour and 2 of us ordered the same sandwich simultaneously. I received mine in 5 minutes, the other in 15. Another person in our group ordered pasta and it must’ve taken 20 – 25 minutes.
The people are friendly but the kitchen is beyond unorganized. Don’t head there if you’re on a timeline over lunch.

This is my favorite pizza. Used to have one in the city I used to live in, but I moved away. Glad there’s one here in Indy. But this place deserves to be in a different location. Every time I’m there, the place is empty. And its not the location thats the problem, its the lack of atmosphere. The building it’s in, and the interior. And because of that, I’m always afraid that since its never seems busy, they are going to close down. But I’m sure take out is the main business here.
The pizza is great, but if I want to dine out for pizza, I usually choose someplace else. Like in the Carmel Arts District. But Bellacinos pizza is 10x better than anything else. Just wish they’d work on making the dine in portion more appealing.

The pizza was awesome. Very cheesy and good. We had a supreme pizza, and it was quite tasty. The 4 of us devoured a 14″ pizza for lunch. We had a good time with the juke box and it is a very kid friendly place, which my son enjoyed. We will definitely be back!

I’m only giving a second star because the young man working resolved the problem, sort of. I used the online system to order a pizza, 2 toppings on half 1, plain cheese on the other. Got home to find one topping on each half. Called back, explained the problem, was told to do exactly what I did. In other words, I ordered correctly, the store messed it up. The young woman on the phone did not offer to fix the problem. Sigh. So I drove back over, explained the problem, was told the online system has problems. As a customer, I’m not sure how any of this was my fault. When I asked the young man if he could make me a small plain cheese pizza, he said yes, of course. The whole point was, I paid $ 23 (including tip) and didn’t get what I ordered. I’m not sure why I had to present a solution, but if I had not driven back over, I would not have had one.
Not satisfied. Likely won’t order again. Have no idea how the pizza tastes because I’m still waiting on correct order, having delivered the wrong one to my son, who luckily will eat anything. Plus those were the 2 toppings he wanted.

Great pizza… chewy crust, tangy sauce, and lots of cheese. The bacon pizza and the sausage and pepperoni were very good.

I’ve lived across form this place for over a year and never had the desire to try until recently. I even get coupons in the mail constantly.
When I dinned here there was a a large party in the left front area with a bunch of kids and then some other tables for regular customers on the right.
You order at the counter and then they bring your meal to you. They have crayons and coloring menus.
I ordered the alfredo pizza with chicken and onions. The onion slices were too big and undercooked.
Not my favorite pizza place and more of a kid friendly style.
Plus: They have one of those every-​flavor-​of-​soda machines, so that’s pretty cool

F’n AWESOME! I was just expecting some lame average sub. Bellacinos is SO far from that. First the bread is freshly baked & tastes like it. The explosion of the sauce, meat, seasonings, & vegetables is great! If you are a sub person & tired of the same ol monotony I suggest you give this place a try.

My office is right next to Bellacinos, so we are constantly ordering pizza from it. Being the token office vegetarian, they always get a veggie pizza; however, unlike just about every other pizza place ever, there is only one option for veggie toppings on the menu. This standard fare is not amazing in the first place, but it gets extra boring when you eat it once or twice a month.
In addition to that, I just want to put my opinion out there that Bellacinos seems overrated. The crust is meh and the sauce and cheese are nothing exciting. Not bad, not great. I will still continue to eat it when someone buys it for me, but I’ll always choose somewhere else if I have influence — there are several better places in Carmel when it comes to pizza quality and variety.

I’ve only lived in Carmel for four months and I’m still finding my way around. I discovered Bellacino’s by accident due to the presence of a few nearby businesses that I began frequenting almost as soon as moved here.
I finally gave Bellacino’s a try about a month ago and was very pleased by the food and the service. I wish I’d tried it out sooner as it’s only a five-​minute drive from my location.
The only menu items I’ve had to date are the hot wings, the chef/​garden salads, and the taco pizza but they’ve all hit the spot. I’m still looking forward to sampling a few of their grinders.
Bellacino’s is now among my top go-​to options for a carryout dinner… it’s not really a sit-​down kind of place but you can’t go wrong with any of their food.
I highly recommend Bellacino’s!

When it comes to pizza there are several choices located throughout the city of Indianapolis, however Bellacino’s is the spot in Carmel. I’ve been visiting this location for years and they always exemplify customer service. Before we get into that, lets first talk about the location.
The restaurant is located near the intersection of 126^th and Meridian Street. It’s on the other side of Meridian Street from Meijer. This is an important detail, because crossing Meridian Street is a time consuming process. The traffic lights heavily favor traffic moving north and south, so the average time to cross the street can be several minutes.
The restaurant has an old pizza parlor feel. It’s not fancy or romantic. It’s simply a place to eat. This is one way they’re able to keep cost down. Why sell people on the ambiance, when you just sell them on your great food. So lets talk about that for a second.
Their lunch specials is where its at. $ 6 Pizza and drink. That’s a price that can rival many chain pizza shops, but this one is local. If pizza isn’t your thing, their grinders are simply one of the best in Carmel. Sizes vary, however Bellacino’s has always supported discount publications like the Zoo book, which is one of the primary reasons why I purchase one every year. All in all, if you’re looking for Pizza in Carmel, Bellacino’s has to be one of the options.

We really love Bellacinos. It’s our go-​to place for pizza with no frills. Their grinders are pretty awesome too.

I stopped in as a saw a coupon in the mail. $ 7 for a 14inch 1 topping pizza. I was told years ago by the neighbors that this place was good so since it had been open for at least 5 years now, I decided I needed to try it for myself.
Their pizza dough is hand tossed. They have lots of specials as well on their chalkboard.
The 3 pepperoni and cheese stuffed breadsticks are 3.80 and sound very tempting next time. The lunch special read: lunch pasta and salad (fettuccini alfredo, garlic toast, salad, reg drink) all for $ 7.18 — not bad!
Pizzas, calzones, chili, grinders all with very creative not your average toppings available.
There are also a few tvs so if ya wanted to you can eat and watch a game.
Taste is not bad. Better than little caesars but falls a little short of donatos. It’s thin the pepperonis are in between the sauce and the cheese so you can’t see them or how many there were not like the pictures around the restaurant indicate. Maybe it was just our pizza. With the coupon I’d go again but I noticed this same pizza was on special for 10.80 today without the coupon???

I love Bellacinos. Yes, it’s just a grinder shop in a strip mall but it’s my cold weather go-​to spot when I’m in need of a BLT fix. This place isn’t fancy, the guys making your grinder are often scruffy looking high schoolers (albeit always with unusually great attitudes in my experience) and after the lunch rush there will be tables that need bussed. Somehow though, this has never discouraged me. I like this place and its been here for years, which I think says something. Pizzas and grinders are the staple here but they come out right and HOT. Portion sizes are good — plenty but not so much that you’ll need to be rolled out the door. Sometimes its just the simple stuff that hits the spot.

I stopped in to Bellacino’s on a whim the other day. Though it is in the same center as Amber Indian, we have never ever been here. On the day of my visit, it was very crowded with workers from the nearby office complexes. Everything looked and smelled great. I chose a chef’s salad for carry-​out. While I was waiting, I had the chance to case the place a bit. I noticed a few menu items that were unusual, such as the taco grinder (a.k.a. sub or hoagie), the BBQ pork grinder and a reuben grinder… all very interesting, especially the taco grinder. Not sure I would every choose that, but still interesting. My salad was quite good, full of fresh lettuce, turkey, ham, shredded cheese and all the other items that make for a good lunch-​sized chef salad. I did think the pizzas going out to the tables looked really tasty, too. Not so tasty, though: the delivery guy who returned while I was waiting; I watched him take about six drags on his cigarette before dismounting his ride and coming back inside. Surefire appetite suppressant right there. Also, I give a one-​star demotion for the smudged windows, sloppily dressed employees and stained carpet. My mom always had a hard and fast rule of not allowing our family to set foot in a restaurant with dirty windows when I was a kid… dear God, I AM my mother! Seriously, Bellacino’s, clean up your act a little and I might be a fan :-)
