Editorial Review for Bazbeaux Pizza – by Julia Spalding
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 Massachusetts Avenue's funky dining room-cum-art gallery. The ambience is casual and conducive to ordering strange, imported beers just for the heck of it.
The Food
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).

Got to love Bazbeaux! It is awesome. My favorite is the 4 cheese--not sure if the spelling is right, but quatro formaggio.

We had heard nothing but great things about this place, so we were excited to try it. We arrived at 6:15 on a Friday night and expected a long wait. They hostess told us it would be 40-45 minutes. Fine. We waited 45 minutes and went to check with the hostess if we were up soon. She was extremely rude and said, "I have no idea. We will seat you as soon as there is a table available." I asked if it would be 15 minutes, or another 45 and she snapped back, "I have no idea." About 15 minutes later (7:15, an hour after we arrived) we were seated and immediately placed our order with our waittress. After waiting for our pizza for 45 minutes, our kids started getting restless REALLY hungry, so we asked one of the servers for some crackers or something for our 4 and 5-year olds. He said, "We don't have any crackers." We asked if we could have bread or chips or anything. He rolled his eyes and said, "We do have garlic bread, but we would have to make it." And then walked away, muttering, "We are just busy tonight." Our waittress came by and we asked how much longer for the pizza. She said, "6 minutes." 10 minutes later, at 8:15 (an hour after our order was placed and 2 HOURS after arriving at the restaraunt) we finally had our pizza. It tasted terrific. Probably the best pizza we ever had, but we couldn't decide if it was because it really was the best pizza we ever had or we were just so hungry after the 2 hours wait. Rude staff, SLOW service, great pizza. We won't go back.
