Best pizza I've had in Indy, hands down. The service was even better. The guy who took my order was so cool--my name isn't the easiest to pronounce, but when I came back to pick up my food and there was a line, he called out, "Otesha, come on up here, your order is ready." I couldn't help but smile as I walked to the front and grabbed my amazing pizza. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

I've been on the east side and lived in the dime all my life -- but somehow have never heard of Sam's Square Pie before a few weeks ago. I saw they had a pizza that I literally could not locate anywhere, and thought I would go give it a try. I had an Irie (Trio in some places) and it was heaven sent. The sauces were layered perfectly and every bite was unique. Not to mention the greatest cheese wall crust on this side of the Mississippi. It was so good and the people treated me so nicely that I decided to do it again a few nights later. Jeff and his service are top notch. The 2nd pizza was a little sloppier with the sauce, but it didn't change the fact of the matter -- This is the best pizza in the country. I don't care who gives it what kind of review, my family looks forward to that Pizza Bib entering our home! Lastly, the place itself feels so amazing. It is comparable to a good man cave, where you can drink a nice drink, eat some good pizza, and enjoy the ambiance of historic Irvington. The only thing I will do different when I order my pizza on Wednesday () is order the Irie Grandma Style and ask Jeff to make sure the sauces are evenly distributed and done right. What's crazy? I know for a fact he will offer to do it all for me, all while taking orders and fixing mistakes. I give it a year and Jeff will be forced out of this spot, as the artistry he's crafting in the kitchen is going to become a worldwide sensation. Bet on it. read more

Heard rave reviews so had to come check it out for myself! It's not obvious from the street where this place is but just trust that you are walking in to the right spot! Follow your nose :) I missed the sign but there is a small one outside. The owner, Sam is very nice and friendly. It's a small space inside but several tables. I imagine seating can be challenging during peak times. We went on a Wednesday evening and no issues with parking or seating. The meatballs are the best! 10/10 for me! I love the FLAVOR! You get 3 meatballs per order. They are nice size and I think the price is fair. The sauce is very good as well. I would definitely come back for these! I tried their most popular pizza the Jefe. It was just ok to me. To be fair, I don't like pepperonis but I picked them off as the person I went with loves pepperonis. I couldn't taste much of the sausage. The jalepeno ricotta sounds amazing but I couldn't really taste any jalepenos or spice to it. I did appreciate the pizza dough was airy and crisp and not chewy and "doughy". I wouldn't order this again but would like to try another pizza ; most likely a build my own. As far as drinks, there is a cooler with canned and bottled water. There is beer and wine available as well. There is free tap water. read more

Darn good. It might be the best pizza in town. It's Detroit-style pan crust. The staff was nice. The owner seems passionate about connecting with the community. The decor has a lot of tributes to the owner's late brother Indiana Jones. Mad love to the old Broad Ripple Casba bar sign in the bathroom. :) The music they played was excellent. However.....it's expensive! $23 for a medium 6 piece pepperoni pan pizza. If you go here on a Saturday night, you better order the pizza to go. The place was hopping. There was a line about six people deep when I arrived and all of the tables in the restaurant were taken. Keep in mind, their online ordering system was turned off one hour and 15 minutes before their closing time and there isn't a phone number to call for to-go orders. They're only open four days a week and four hours a day (and they close at 8pm) so plan accordingly. read more

Went to Sam's Square Pie in Fountain Square for dinner with a friend and the food was absolutely incredible!! Parking is terrible to figure out, but that's FS for you. This pizza...holy crap. Best pizza in Indy! The crust was crunchy, soft and bounced back. Truly can tell by taste, looks and texture that's it's made in house. If you haven't been here yet--you're missing out. read more

From the outside, it's an unassuming spot on 10th street but it's totally worth a stop! The staff was so friendly and the owner was so warm and genuinely welcoming to everyone who came in. It seemed like there were a lot of first-timers in and I really appreciated him telling us where to order, etc. right away. We ordered garlic knots with vodka sauce and a "just kissed my baby" pizza. Each came out pretty quickly and both were incredible!! We could've eaten that vodka sauce with a spoon. Will definitely recommend and be back again! Lots of parking available in a lot behind the building and on the street off 10th. read more

It's all about the chewy and cheesy crust from Sam's Square Pie. It truly sets it apart from the pack. Not to mention the beautiful box design For Christmas this year, I gifted my husband a "diy weekly pizza pass" and we kicked things off with Sam's. The pie made its way home still hot and we loved the sweet salty dough, paired with the chewy cheese, honey glaze combination. It packed a punch and we'll definitely be coming back for more. They offer a small dine in space but we opted for carryout. It was faster than I expected for a deep dish style pizza. Highly recommend! read more

Greeted by the owner when we walked in. That man doesn't know a stranger such a nice guy. Hugged me and thanked me for coming in. It's order at the counter service. We order two pizzas and garlic knots two canned sodas. The food was fresh delicious. If you want water it's free in a water cooler by the register. Also bottle water for purchase. Just go the vibes were good and buying local is always better . Keep in mind it's not Pizza Hut so the pizzas you get from those places aren't available here. read more

10/10 -- easily one of the best pizzas I've had in Indiana, hands down! We ordered the El Jefe and the Sticky Icky and both were absolutely incredible. The ricotta on the El Jefe truly takes it to the next level and seals the deal. I'm already looking forward to going back to try more of their menu. If you've been debating it -- just get the pizza. It's more than worth it. The service was impeccable and the vibes were fantastic from start to finish! read more

As for the food itself, one of the best pizzas I've had by far. I loved the crispy edges, the jalapeño ricotta cheese gives it a nice touch as well. A lot of flavors going on. They also have beef pepperoni for those who don't eat pork, a very nice substitute. Absolutely will be coming back. read more

Im giving five stars because the energy is incredible and i respect a well ran business. Im glad that i finally got to try this viral place that had my mouth WATERING. It was worth having for sure. But if im honest, I personally would not return. The pizza was WAY too crispy and chewy for me. I do typically enjoy Detroit style pizza but i don't think this pie spot is for me. Me and my mother split a regular size and she agrees...We're glad we tried it at least. Thanks for amazing service in a very cool, eclectic space! read more

This is by far, some of the best pizza I have ever had. I can usually put down a good amount of slices, but these 3x3 rectangle serves one properly. I mean, three or maybe four will surely fill you up in the moment, and the leftovers will be almost as good as being served fresh with the right amount of heat and temperature. The restaurant is a nice little joint to hang out in, but conveniently located for pickup. The staff put a lot of love into the pies, and it shows. This place is a must if you're in or around the Indianapolis area. read more

Stopped in for pizza to share with a friend while we planned a road trip. It's in my neighborhood so I did carry out and walked. Note prep time can take a while-plan ahead. So. As a native New Yorker, I prefer the East coast pizza style, but this pizza... I think it's called "Detroit" style, a saucy, thick crust but not like a deep dish. After much deliberation, I chose the Loving Cup-pepperoni, sausage & pesto + red sauce and cheese. I ordered online and left my house minutes ahead of the pickup. My order ready text arrived en route. The guy at the counter was very friendly and the interior had some tables and chairs and a few good beers on tap, in addition to some canned options and cider. The pizza had crispy, carmelized edges, generous toppings and the crust a nice crunchy exterior and soft interior. The pricing may seem high but this is a very filling pizza. I may have dreamed of my leftovers. I'm thrilled to have Sam's close to home. I heard this place gets busy during peak times. Plan ahead, it's worth it. read more

First and foremost, this Sam guy is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. He greeted everyone with a handshake or hug and is genuinely a nice man. But the food is also outstanding! Meatballs were some of the best I've had in the city. Garlic knots could stand more garlic in my opinion but still very good. Pizza was excellent! A little more sauce would be nice but we really enjoyed the whole experience. Will definitely be back soon. read more

I love this place! Finally, a great pizza place in my neighborhood. I hope this place continues to do well and sticks around for a long time! The pizza is fabulous. It is detroit style so it is a large rectangle and it is thick. 1-2 slices will do you well. You can easily split a pizza between 3 people (IMO) unless everyone is very hungry. The service is great. I sat at the bar top counter and really enjoyed speaking with the server. She was super friendly and overall the restaurant has a great neighborly vibe to it. I will continue to get pizza from here! Only gave 4 starts instead of 5 due to the limited seating and they did not serve alcohol (at least when I was there). These aren't big deals, but just explaining my star review! Support local everyone! Update to above review* I went back to Sam's last night for takeout. I got the small Camaro pizza to split with a friend- it was the perfect amount. I really love the crust and red sauce on the pizza. It's so delicious. I also noticed that they do serve alcohol now and have a bar seating area. I went in to get the pizza and heard the manager telling the employees "great job everyone." I loved hearing the positivity amongst the employees. Really great customer service too! Great place read more

*DISCLAIMER* i drive an hour home with this and reheated. The food was good but the crust was a bit hard/crunchy and kind of hurt the roof of my mouth although the flavor was there. I ordered to go and the service was quick and staff was very friendly. The inside was kinda like a cafe/bar and there wasn't a whole lot of room inside but by no means was it a bad ambiance. I would've ate In there if I didn't wanna relax at home instead. Overall I want to give it 4/5 and I think it could've been that had I not waited but how I received it was 3/5. read more

I can't believe it but I had never heard of this place until I read about it in the newspaper. I know that seems crazy but after I read about them I had to look it up and all of the pictures and comments are pretty good so I had to try it for myself. You have to go to the pizza shop to order they don't have a phone. You can park out front if there is a spot on 10th but if not there is a parking lot out back. There is a nice area to sit down to eat as well as a place to wait If you are getting it to go like I did. I ordered 2 small pizzas an El Jefe and a pepperoni. It was about a 20min wait. The pizza held up nicely on the way home and was as good as it looked. You may not think hot honey is a good idea when you read the description but it compliments the pizza well. The crust is also perfect, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. I can't wait to share this spot with others. read more

So delicious! Very friendly staff. You order at the counter and grab disposable cups, plates, and utensils to eat with. Seat yourself. We ordered a regular size El Jefe pizza with hot honey on the side. It was hot and fresh with melty ricotta on top and a crunchy cheese crust. Very satisfying and the regular size was perfect for two. Would love to see a few more creative options on their menu, as most of the pizzas are pepperoni or sausage. Still, we would definitely visit again! Great option for a local joint. read more

Great Detroit style pizza! It's my new favorite in Indy. The ingredients are clean and the cheese is high quality. The crispy edges are a treat. It's easy to get full on two slices, so a large pie (8 slices) was perfect for our group. They have nine varieties of pizza to choose from, including garlic knots and cheesy garlic bread. The employees were super friendly. There is a dine-in area with a few tables and chairs and it's a nice ambiance inside with art on the walls. read more

I had heard good things about Sam's Square Pie, but I was not prepared for the pizza to be one of my favorites EVER. Detroit style is my favorite type of pizza and Sam's knocks it out of the park. I got the Crushstar, which has red sauce and pesto, fresh basil, hot honey, and lots of cheese. The crust has perfectly crisp edges with caramelized cheese, the toppings are fresh and flavorful, and it all comes together in perfect harmony with the hot honey drizzle. The pizza is very filling, but leftovers are just as good the next day. read more

Easily the best Pizza in Indy. Crust is phenomenal! Be hungry, portions are solid! Great value also for what you get.

Have been meaning to try this place for years and finally made it in tonight. The owner's wife took care of us and was the absolute sweetest! She made sure our order was correct and that we were enjoying everything. We ordered the El Jefe and the Loving Cup and both were amazing. She told us the ricotta and the dough were made in house, and they were delicious! Also, it was a pleasant surprise that they had a few beers on tap. Definitely take the time to try Sam's Square Pie! read more

My ears perk up a bit when I hear the words pizza and East Side in the same sentence. There's a nice backstory about this spot and I suggest anyone curious to check out the multiple stories in local media on this. I've been converted to Detroit-Style pizza since moving to the Midwest and naturally this becomes an easy must-try option. I see this as a completely different approach than Futuro so if you're looking for a comparison there isn't much of one. Sam's Square Pie really embraces the art of a crispy cheese edge to an extent that it becomes a very distinct outside layer. The pizza itself becomes very stable to hold a piece despite heavy toppings, but also the greasiness feels contained. Overall it is a nice presentation and the sauce/toppings are added on artfully. You will feel the calorie density as you eat the pizza, it's a rewarding experience. Normally I make my way deep into a pizza but found myself tapping out two slices into the El Jefe. A true meat lovers experience can be had with the El Jefe as well as other options. I look forward to seeing more collaborations and combinations. read more

If you have never had pizza like this...this is the place! This is one of those places you see on Instagram and just have to hit up. The crispy edges, the fresh sauce, and ricotta dollops...HEAVEN! I recommend extra hot honey and extra napkins. The garlic knots are also 10/10, anything would be with the amazing sauce. Don't over order (or DO if you want extra), but you will probably eat a garlic knot or two and a slice and tap out. read more
