Recently came across an article online about "Best Pizza in each state". Coincidentally, had a trip planned to South Bend. On the drive in from Chicago decided to check it out. Small and intimate, but don't let the space fool you. Food packs a ton of flavor. You wouldn't expect to find these types of flavors in rural Indiana...more like Southern California. Gotta get the stoner bites (dripping with butter and cheese), and had the Sticky Fingers. Great pizza! Lemon oil and arugula were an odd combo prior to eating, but it works. Can't wait until I'm in their neck of the woods again. Looked like it was all the creation of one person with two people helping. Great job!! read more

OH MAN... this place is unreal... every pizza I have had from here is like God made a pizza just for me. You gotta try it. You will love it. The meat balls are un real. DELICIOUS! This makes Pizza Slut taste like dog food. read more

Great food and great service. Unique recipes. Interesting drink options. Perfect after ice skating.

Solid pizza and great summer spot. Give this place a try if you want a new pizza. Sadly no delivery. The pizza is just as good when it's cold out, but seating is limited on the inside (very limited). Also, parking may be an issue since it's located just off of Lincolnway downtown. The proximity to the Urschel Pavillion/splash pad is why we tried it, and we were pleasantly surprised with great pizza. In the summer you can go out to the pavilion or the other outdoor seating next to the splash pad. This is one of the better pizzas in town with ingredients that taste fresh and crisp. Not a huge amount of beer options on the menu, but what they have is quality beer. I recommend the Joker if you want a little spicy heat, or any of the pizzas with goat cheese. This is a great/convenient place to get some pizza for you and the family if you're in downtown Valpo. read more

From food truck to store front, this pizza is AMAZING. Much different than your average pepperoni pizza and their menu never disappoints. Not only are the pizzas full of unique toppings, but their drink menu also features unique mixtures. Every week they have a special menu item that is always worth a try! Cons: Very limited seating. read more

Quick and delicious! You have to try the stoner bites and they always have a decent selection of beer to choose from.

My new favorite pizza of all time. I shared a "Purple Pig" as well as a "Choke & Shroom" pizza with my family. OMG, pure awesomeness. Great flavors, cook to perfection. This place is a must try. read more

The Rolling Stonebaker - Pizza Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

We are from south Texas. First time at this pizza place. We just happens upon it due to the wonderful smell.. We followed our noses! Brought us here where we orders a sausage pizza and a gluten free crust veggie marinara. Both were fantastic! They are made is a small shop in a small wood burning stone oven. This place is a must try!!! The people were very nice and very polite. Refreshing!! Speaking of refreshing.. Our drinks were the ginger peach hard cider and WBC vanilla cream craft soda in a bottle. Both were very good. Went well with the pizzas. There is a great outside eating space too! All in all it was a great experience. We would come back if we lived closer. read more

The Rolling Stonebaker - Vegan all veggie marinara with gluten free crust.. Super delicious!! - Pizza Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

See all

Terrific little wood-fired pizza place. They have very creative menu items like The Joker, a pepperoni and jalapeño creation with dollops of ricotta cheese. The marinara sauce on top of the meatball appetizer is worthy of eating with a spoon. Cool vibe with some awesome eats FTW. read more

This pizza was was amazing! I had the choke and shroom. Crazy good. I can't post a picture because I literally devoured it. My family and I are visiting from Iowa and I have to say this is probably the best pizza I had in a while. Service was really good as well. Thank you so much!!! read more

Love everything about this place. The pizzas are all amazing, as are the salads. And the drink menu keeps teasing me, as I am usually there during inappropriate drinking times. Lol read more

Good oven baked pizza. I thought the options were decent but the pizzas we ordered were tasty. A bit expensive but that's expected. GREAT location in downtown Valpo and should stand the test of time. Not a ton of indoor seating but they have a rollup door to the outdoors and have a ton of seating outside. read more

Can't say enough good about this place. The atmosphere, the employees, the price, the quality, and the flavor is all top notch. We had stoner bites a few months ago with our pizza and I inhaled them so fast I could barely breathe. read more

Rolling Stone has to be one of my favorite pizza places in Valpo. They have a lot of different fun pizzas, but I'm a slightly picky eater. The past couple times I've been in the employees have been a bit rude when I ask for my pizza without something on it. If you're looking for a good oven baked pizza, Rolling Stone is it, but forget the polite service that you used to get here. read more

Tried "Sticky Fingers" on Valentines Days and it was incredible! Easily the best pizza I've ever had!!!

Delicious and very unique tastes! They had ingredients that would not expect to see on a pizza. Slightly eclectic but the flavors are where it's at. They have drinks as well that will also perk up your taste buds. The service was extremely friendly. It's a good place to go for some very original and well thought out pizzas. You can tell that they took there time in making the pizzas just right. My lips still smell good from the Ramps and Hoes pizza I had. It had an egg in the middle to which I thought was strange but the egg went really well. Surprised I was read more

We are visiting family and decided to try the Rolling Stonebaker. We ordered the arugula and prosciutto salad and it was awesome! So good! We also ordered two pizzas. The margarita and the joker. Both were delicious. The crust is thin and so yummy! They are the perfect size for one person and you might have a piece or two left for later. The staff was very nice and friendly. I love that they offer Gluten-free dough as well. read more

Went here during my vacation this place is great. Had the "Sticky Fingers" pizza, stuffed dates and crab cakes. Everything was fresh and tasted very good. The crab cakes were the best I've tasted so far, the dates were like a delectable dessert. Would reccomend this place it is definitely worth the drive if you are in Indiana. read more

Our first time. It the 2 pizzas were good. The crab cakes were surprisingly exceptional. We will definitely be back.

Ok....first experience here. Had very high expectations prior. Got carry out. Ordered the dates, meatballs & jalapeño poppers to start. The dates were for my wife. She said they were "good." I'm no date fan. I passed. The meatballs were good and the poppers were flippin really good! Not breaded poppers. Very good. Got 4 pizzas. The purple pig, margherita, cheese and pepperoni/sausage. Brick oven baked Thin crust was very nice with some burnt which I like. The purple pig was good. Margherita was very good. Cheese for the kids which is as good as just plain cheese gets. Kids liked it. Pepperoni/sausage was good as well. Red sauce on pizzas have a slight kick to it. Service was good and friendly. Prices were just in the medium level. $8-$10 for each pizza. They're a little small. More like individual pizzas. Our bill was $64 for 3 appetizers and 4 pizzas. Again, pizzas are considered "individual." Popppers were $9 but they were really good. Price is high in reality on these. Maybe charge $6 not $9. Serving of 6 in each order. read more

My son and I have eaten there twice in the past couple months and we both love it. Not a fan of the pice point but the food is amazing. The price isn't too high, perhaps knocking the pizza price down 80 cents or a $1 would make it more appealing. The Jalapeno poppers are TERRIFIC! Coupled together with the dipping sauce that is sweet and spicy is awesome. Also, they're wrapped in bacon. Who doesn't like bacon? One pizza is more than enough to serve to peeps for lunch or dinner. Great atmosphere! read more

Finally, a restaurant that has fresh, healthy ingredients, unexpected combinations, and all delicious! Outstanding. Great location across from the park, limited seating. read more

This is bar far the best wood fired pizza I have had, and it was purple pig along with the poppers.

Owner and staff are awesome, very cool oven. Loved the pizza, stoner bites, and Nana's meatballs. I would think that everything on the menu here is good. Thanks to some really nice patrons I was also able to try the bread pudding, which was delicious. Looking forward to visiting this very cool eatery again and again. read more

Great fire roasted pizza. Nice accommodating staff. Had the purple pig pizza and really enjoyed the bread pudding. They also have food trucks set up with wood fired ovens as well that run in season. Looking forward to coming back again! read more

Excellent pizza! The Purple Pig has red cabbage and pulled pork on it with a balsamic drizzle...delicious. The pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven on premises, so you can literally watch them make and bake your pizza. The goat cheese-stuffed dates were excellent, and they do have carry-out beer and wine. Additional outdoor seating is available, so it's a great location for a casual dinner. read more

This place is great! The pizza is super yummy and they have fast friendly service. I only wish they were open on Monday.

Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's pretty expensive for personal pizzas. Anyway they're fantastic! We've tried 4 different pizzas and we've always been impressed. Not a great place to eat in during winter though. I think there are only 4 tables. There is a bar/shelf along the back wall with stools, but when we sat there I felt like I was in the way of the people sitting at the table right behind of me. But when you can buy the pizza and drinks and sit outside, highly recommend. read more

Today we went to the Rolling Stonebaker after church for some YUM!! I love this place. And the fact that it is open on Sunday in Valpo is a winner. We enjoyed chatting with other diners and ordered all starters this time. The MEATBALLS were a delicious generous portion in fresh tasting warm marinara sauce with arugula atop!! Along side we had the Stone Bites; warm from the wood oven the dough bites were sensational. We also had the Jalapeño Pops wrapped in Bacon with Cream Cheese oozing. These were my husbands favorite. Lastly we tried the Tomatillos which were superb with picketed jalapeño relish. The cocktails are delicious with fresh herbs and at half price on Sunday this is the best spot to hang out! read more

If you like fast fired pizza, this place is a must. They have a pizza for everyone and their specials are always interesting and delicious. One of my favorites in the Valpo area! read more

Horrible, borderline rude service. And for all the creativity in the pizza the best way to describe it is the soul of blandness. Also, a little cold. But high quality and the pizza is good, if, you know, bland. read more

If you love pizza this is a MUST! I'm always looking for different flavorful food and this is a delicious twist on my favorite food, PIZZA!!! The purple pig is my go to every time, pulled pork with purple cabbage. I eat the entire pizza by myself, do not plan on sharing. Also great drinks! Cool atmosphere, small space. Only 4 tables with 2 chairs each. read more

I hate to give this place a one star because the pizza is great however my family had a horrible experience with the service. My parents live in the area so we decided to go try this restaurant when we got in it was quite crowded and we had a large party. While we were waiting in line the store manager bumped into my wife trying to get to the table behind her, she apologized and he responded in a very rude tone "just let me bus the table" he then pushed past her and we promptly left. This happened a while ago but we haven't gone back since. read more

I was so excited to try the Purple Pig pizza but it didn't work out for me. I went in and asked if I could have it without the slaw but the employee said "no, it's a signature pizza and you can't customize it". Okay, so I proceed to see him put it on someone else's pizza at the END of the process... it's not really making it a signature it it's an after thought but whatever. I decided to go with the pepperoni pizza. The cheese was great on the pizza but it was burnt. Yes, I understand there should be a char but I mean it was BURNT. I couldn't even finish the whole crust because of the way it was cooked. Would not go back and don't recommend it to anyone. read more

Some say L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele (Da Michele; the pizzeria that Julia Roberts eats at in the movie "Eat, Pray, Love") in Naples, Italy, serves the best pizza in the world. I beg to differ. I stood in line for 2 hours, at 3:00pm on a weekday to get into Da Michele's in 2015. Yes, the pizza is about as good as it gets there. However, IMHO, Da Michel's now has a rival in our very own Rolling Stonebaker pizzeria here in little old Valparaiso, Indiana. My wife and I ate here for lunch on Wednesday. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, the place is simple, functional and attractive (always nice to see old building brought back to life) and Valparaiso is a very enjoyable and fascinating old town. Well worth a detour. The pizza is outstanding, simple Italian style thin crust pizza topped with local ingredients and baked in a real hardwood fired brick oven. Quite simply the best pizza I have ever had; sorry Da Michele, you have been beaten! To make things even better, unlike the Rolling Stonebaker mobile Studebaker red pizza trucks, the bricks and mortar restaurant sells craft beer and a nice selection of wine. Final note; the bricks and mortar restaurant only had its formal opening this week. So, expect a few SNAFU's whilst they get the kinks ironed out; be patient. You may have noticed all my reviews to date on Yelp have been 5 star, this is deliberate. Life is too short to focus on that which does not make us happy. This is why I restrict my reviews to those things/places that make me happy and appreciate life. Sure, I have been to some really dreadful hotels and restaurants, but, like I said, life is too short to spend time thinking and writing about them. read more

Delicious pizza and roughage salad. Ordered takeout and everything was ready super quick. Definitely a great spot for a quick bite. Only downfall was the waitstaff not being especially friendly. read more

Gourmet personal pizzas is a great addition to Valpo. Small and intimate setting, great for hipsters, and casual date night, especially with the fun cocktails and craft beer menu. Brought the kiddos, and everyone was accommodating, but tables are designed for two. The kids give a thumbs up for the brick oven style pizza. Chose the Purple Pig, based on the reviews here, which did not disappoint. For the carb addict, Stone bites are a tasty appetizer. Foodies would approve of this local. read more

The food was great. The atmosphere was cozy. The service was outstanding. But with a name like ROLLing STONEbaker I expected more oregano if you know what I mean. read more

We used the rolling stone baker to cater our wedding and I'm so happy we did!! The food was absolutely amazing, the staff was great, and the rates were reasonable. Our guests loved the pizza truck and everything about the food. I'm so happy we went with them they did an amazing job! read more

Amazing pizza, I have gone here several times every month or so and there is always something new there to surprise me. Most recently I've leaned about an item they sell called Stoner Bites. They are little balls of dough that are cooked perfectly with a slight crunch on the outside and a chewy inside that are covered in butter, garlic, and cheese. They are probably not really healthy but they sure are addictive. My favorite pizza from them is probably there simple Margherita pizza. I've been eating there pizza since they first opened their food truck and it's still just as good at the brick and mortar location. Also remember the pizza is burnt it's just the way the crust is and it's still delicious. read more
