Some Guys Pizza Pasta Grill

Saturday night was driving up Allisonville headed to a restaurant on the north side when the group I was with noticed some guys pizza. I quickly Unilocaled it and seen all the great reviews so we did a U-​turn. We walked in and the place is simply amazing. It has a mass ave vibe (way better than Bazbeaux). A couple people I was with ordered the lasagna (served the first fri-​sun) of every month. It was the best lasagna I have ever had. I got a jerk chicken pizza and it was fantastic. The service was top notch. We got there around 530 and when we left around 645 there was a wait. This place deserves more stars than 5. Do not judge the restaurant by the outside. Inside the place is great and the food/​service are simply the best around.

A few weeks ago, I order a pizza for pickup. When I pulled up to the place, I have to say I expected just to walk into a hole in the wall pizza place in an aging strip mall. Instead, I walked into a charming little Italian restaurant. I was so impressed by the atmosphere, part laid back, part romantic, full on charming, that I just had to go back for dinner. This time my boyfriend and I both ordered pasta. Both, were very very good. The service was excellent. They hit on everything. 5 out of 5. No, 6 out of 5. Basically, it’s pretty good.

I like to consider myself a pizza fanatic and find it difficult to find a pizza that has everything right (either the sauce isn’t sweet enough, the crust is lacking that crunch, or they skimp on the toppings). I can say that some guys is the BEST pizza I have had to date. The pizza was absolutely fantastic! The service was very slow because of how busy it was but it was definitely worth the wait!

Used to go there quite a bit when I lived in Indianapolis. Was in town over the weekend and insisted on a visit. It did not disappoint. It’s just as I remember from 1999 to 2003. The portions are way too big (thanks, Some Guys!) and yet I still managed to order too much and eat every bit of it. I had the Dos Balls as an appetizer, and the tomato vodka sauce on pasta as my entrée. The salad was great and garlic bread was nicely done, too. I’d be there at least once a week if I still lived there. Thanks for the memories and great meal, Some Guys. You still rock after all these years.

Service was good. Pizza was fine. We didn’t get a wood oven 10″ because we needed to feed too many people. The pizza tastes better heated up the next two days than fresh. They need tray racks to put on the table to elevate the pie and not squish everyone and everything.

I had the 5 meat pizza and the cheese bread! The décor is very very much inviting and the food is delicious. I loved the cheese bread and I paired it with marinara as well. My waitress was very nice and I will be coming back again for pizza. It has the taste to become one of my favorite pizza places in Indianapolis.

What a treat! I stopped here with some friends after a full days work. We ordered the salad with shrimp, a buffalo chicken pizza, and a pepperoni pizza with their homemade pepperoni. Although the nostalgia of a small family pizza place making their own pepperoni is great I have to admit I liked the flavors of the buffalo chicken better. The salad was good but didn’t seem to be their specialty, at least not the night I was there. I will definitely be back for the pizza. I heard they do a lasagna one a month maybe that is to die for and the line goes out the door and they sell out quick! Sounds like an awesome challenge to see if I can get a piece. Maybe that’s when I will visit next!

We go here at least once a week. The food was good and the service is always great and fast. I love their goat cheese breads with my Greek salads. Their pizzas are great and always too much for my lunch. Great place to eat.

This place is great. Best italian in the area. Great bang for you buck.

We order from here a lot on Football Sundays. The quality cannot be beat. I wish they had a better veggie pizza option so that I didn’t have to build my own. It is one of this families favorites along with Jackamo’s, Bazbeaux’s, and Bebop. I wish they opened earlier on Sundays.

We were very confused when we first entered Some Guys. Right when you enter the restaurant there is a sitting area that consists of all high tables with stools. A small group of people were sitting in the corner chatting with a waitress who was preparing silverware. No one was eating food and no one greeted us. This was our first time here and we didn’t know what the eating style was and honestly felt like leaving because I felt so out of place and uncomfortable. But my husband insisted on staying and grabbed a menu from a table close to the entry.
We sat looking at the menu for some time waiting to be acknowledged. We finally decided to walk towards the a counter that revealed a bit of the kitchen because we thought maybe we were supposed to order there. As we slowly made our way to the counter the host, who hadn’t been present or seen until we walked up, was passing through from the kitchen to what appeared to be an adjoining room. He asked us how many people would be dining in our party and then lead us to the dining room and we were seating. *phew*
We were very hungry and decided to order a pizza right away. We got the «Classic» house specialty pizza which has mushrooms, sausage, pepperoni and extra cheese. It was good, the crust was thin and crunchier than I’m used to but it had good flavor. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the extra cheese was just too much (I love a good cheesy pizza).
My husband liked the pizza better than I did, so that’s why I’m keeping this rating at 4 stars. I hope to return and try some of the appetizers they have and maybe a pasta dish-​we saw a lot coming out and they looked awesome.
I’m docking a star for the awkward and uncomfortable arrival experience we had. Other than that the service was good and the food was hot and tasty. Our waitress was awesome and was present and on top of our drink refills.

Always a good time at some guys. Wood fired pizza, thin crust home made in house. Local beers are available as well as great wine. We like to get the special and it seems to always be different. Last night we had pasta with the shrimp and crab meat Diablo sauce with roasted mushrooms. It was soooooo good, no leftovers this time we ate until we were stuffed and then got the brownie ala mode. Service here is attentive and quick. Be sure to get lasagna on the first weekend every month!

I have been here multiple times and each time has been delicious, but this last time was amazing! I wanted something different this time and checked out the Unilocal pictures to get a good idea. I decided on the spinich ravioli with pesto, wonderful choice! I was also able to sample some of the pizza and flatbreads and they were delicious as well. This is a great place if you are looking for some better than average pasta and pizza.

We had our little grandson last week end so Pizza was the destination. After checking out some of your reviews, we decided to give this place another try. We ordered carry out from here a long time ago, but weren’t impressed. I’m so glad that we tried again. It was the best pizza that I’ve had in years
The atmosphere was warm and friendly as we were greeted and seated by a very nice lady. I ordered one with artichokes olives, you know the Mediterranean route. The crust was great with the wood charring and it had just the right amount of topping. The little guy stuck with plain cheese. –and of course he had to have a dessert so we ordered the lemon cheesecake and a cannoli. I don’t think I’ve ever splurged on a dessert in a pizza place, but both were very good. We’ll definitely be back.

I swore I’d never go back.
Some Guys Pizza Pasta Grill was the scene of one of my absolute worst customer service experiences, an experience so profoundly negative that I swore I’d never return. It has, in fact, been years since that experience and despite the fact that I live in the neighborhood I had never returned before this evening.
My decision to return to Some Guys was inspired by a couple of things — 1) I have multiple friends who’ve sworn to me that my experience had to be an exception as they know the owner personally and it would have been unacceptable and 2) Said owner’s recent actions during the RFRA controversy here in Indianapolis made me more inclined to support his business.
The «incident,» as I call it, involved my arriving for dinner with a friend and being rudely refused, for several minutes, the opportunity to sit in one of their booths because, in their words, my wheelchair would be blocking their aisle and that would make it a fire hazard. Beyond the fact that they were incorrect, they were also stereotyping that I didn’t plan to actually get out of my wheelchair. It wasn’t so much that it happened, but it was the overwhelmingly negative tone with which everything was communicated. I still vividly remember that night and commonly use it as an example of how not to treat someone with a disability.
So, you can probably imagine my surprise when I was escorted to my table after 15 minutes of a planned 25-​minute wait to find that they were, in fact, seating me at one of their booths. In fact, they even apparently planned for me to stay in my chair (but I didn’t).
Isn’t life weird?
So, almost instantly, Some Guys went from a «never again» kind of place to a place where I was thinking «Maybe this will work out.»
The truth is I had my doubts heading in. Some Guys is located in an older strip center at 62^nd & Allisonville Road. While the other side of the strip center has better accessible parking (in front of Big Lots), the building is divided in two with a step separating the two. Some Guys has a couple of non-​ADA accessible spots, including one right at its curb that offers the only step-​free option onto its sidewalk. If you use that spot, you may very well block the access. It’s a weird, poorly designed area.
The restaurant has two sets of doors going in — one of which I had such a hard time opening that I actually left thinking maybe it wasn’t the entrance. Once you go in, you’re in a waiting area that is separated by wall from the modestly sized dining area. The décor is warm and inviting, though the dining room’s acoustics are such that it does get fairly noisy.
The menu consists of the expected pizzas, pastas, appetizers, salads, and desserts. The pizzas include traditional and wood-​fired. I opted for pizza, which is skewing slightly away from my current dietary regimen but I was in the mood for a splurge. I went traditional, a small 8″ pizza with sausage. I ordered a side of garlic bread and my usual unsweetened iced tea — The entire meal came in at just over $ 11.
So, while I’d have previously given Some Guys a 1-​star rating based upon a truly horrible experience I’m balancing that experience with tonight. The accessibility issues automatically do knock off one star. Parking, getting into the building, and the actual dining area are all not truly wheelchair friendly. It can be done, but it’s challenging.
The pizza was good and it’s refreshing to have a quality pizza option for someone dining alone. I have a feeling the wood-​fired pizzas are better, but this was good. The toppings tended to slide off the pizza, but overall I enjoyed it. The garlic bread was fairly disappointing — very crusty and rather light on the garlic. I’d consider it all slightly above average and 3-​stars feels right. The truth is that WB Pizza is less than a block away and serves up better pizza. That said, Some Guys offers up a better dining atmosphere.
My server, whose name I never caught, was also in that 3-​star range. She was attentive and I got my refill, but she seemed hurried even after the dining room had started to empty out as I was dining later than usual. She did everything I needed, but she didn’t really make me want to go back.
While 3-​stars may not feel like a great rating for a pizza joint regarded as one of Indy’s better ones, it’s a sure sign for me that my prior negative experience may truly have been a horrid fluke. While this isn’t likely to be a destination spot for me, it was a nice change of pace and I actually ran into 3 people I knew while there! Some Guys also has a Carmel location and is currently celebrating its 25^th year in Indy.

We’ve been to several pizza joints and bars/​pub/​restaurants around Indy that serves pizza. This place is one of our favorite, so far maybe even in the list of top 4 together with Jackomo, 3wisemen and Magoos. Good crust and overall good and flavorful variety of pizza. Their goat cheese bread is good, however though the presentation is nice, dont particularly like that they serve the bread placed in the sauce/​goatcheese making them soggy. The place doesnt look much from the outside, unassuming section easy to miss in a strip mall across the street from Taylors on Allisonville.

My wife and I decided to stay in this year for Valentine’s Day. Instead of going out for a 3 course gourmet meal all at one restaurant, we pieced together our perfect evening from a plethora of local options. On tap for the main course: some guys.
While enjoying our cheese trap appetizer (see my wildwood market review) we reviewed the menu for some guys. I quickly settled on pizza, my wife on pasta. She enjoyed her wood fired penne pasta, which lived up to every previous review that led her to that choice. I, also following the recommendations of my fellow Unilocalers, went with the house sausage pie (Italian sausage, sweet red peppers, caramelized onions and goat cheese. NO SAUCE.). I got it as an 8″, which is perfect for one person (assuming you had a huge cheese tray, several sun king beers, and have cake bake shop on tap for dessert). I was very hesitant to order it because it didn’t come with sauce, but it is a nonissue once you take your first bite. If they didn’t tell me it was sauceless I may have eaten the whole thing without figuring out what was different about it. The ingredients are so fresh and flavorful, the pizza isn’t dry without the sauce.
The wife’s pasta came with bread plus a side salad, which we split. All was delicious, and a ton of food for the small price tag we paid.
So, why 4 stars? We live about 1 mile away and delivery was going to be 2.5 hours! We ended going to get our food, which was ready in under 20 minutes. For a local place, that likely only delivers to a 3 mile radius, it seems they need more delivery drivers to eliminate their bottle neck.

This was a perfect place for me as it gets for my birthday dinner. I hadn’t been there in a long time and after thoroughly enjoying my dinner, I had to wonder why we or I waited so long for a return visit.
We started off the with pepperoni flatbread which was very tasty and I felt it literally melted in my mouth. Next up for me was the 5 meat pizza. This was very good and the size of the ham pieces made it even more tasty. The sauce and crust are something I’d love to replicate at home but I don’t think they will give me the recipes. More’s the pity for me. :-)
They have a good alcohol selection plus Sun King Cream Ale on tap which always makes me happy.
The staff took very good care of us and everyone else on a busy night. They are to be commended for great customer service.
I’ll definitely be back for more and it won’t take as long until next my visit.
One slight complaint and nothing to do with the service or food. We had a table in the middle of the restaurant and the low light made it difficult to read the menu when someone walked by or if we changed the angle of the menu. But it wasn’t enough to prevent us from ordering.

It’s not usually in my nature to give a place 3 stars but I feel like I would being my fellow Unilocalers a disservice if I didn’t. Please do not get me wrong as the service I received was great and the menu was expansive, but food/​taste compared to the price I’m not impressed and that says alot as I LOVE pizza and am willing to spend a pretty penny on some awesome tasting pizza.
Based on other reviews I decided to overlook my craving for Joe’s Crab Shack and gave Some Guy’s a try. Honestly the pizza doesn’t have any taste to me except for spicy. The crust doesn’t have much flavor. Usually when I don’t like something after the first few bites I try to see if it will grow on me but this just honestly isnt. Now I’m sitting here with a super sad face wishing I went to Joe’s or across the street to WB’s pizza as I feel as if I just had a bad blind date.

REALLY great meatball sub! The only reason this is 4 stars, not 5, is because I’ve only been once and it was just me. Drinking water and getting one sandwich I don’t feel like I can quite make the leap to 5 stars. The waiter was knowledgeable and quick, and all the other servers kept an eye on each others’ tables. I was in and out in about 35 minutes. The beer list looked pretty good especially for a smaller place like this, and they have TONS of toppings. Oh, and they subbed out the regular marinara on the meatball sub for pizza sauce and it was REALLY tasty.
I’ll be back soon, hopefully. It’s only about 17 minutes from downtown, right at 62^nd and Allisonville Rd. in the same strip mall as Big Lots. Interior décor is cute… I think kids will like the nooks where the booths are.
