Jet’s Pizza

While a take-out only restaurant, Jet’s Pizza sure is not your average Papa John’s or Pizza Hut. With nine different crust options including flavors ranging from Cajun to parmesan and custom salads, calzones, flat bread sandwiches and subs, the options at Jet’s are sure to please anyone’s taste.

I opted for a thin crust pizza with my own selected toppings, rather than one of their 11 specialty pizzas. I also tried a plain thick crust pizza as well. Although the thick crust was not anything special, it was definitely better than the thin crust. Both pizzas had way too much sauce for my taste and was quite overwhelming. I actually found myself wiping off most of the sauce, which improved the taste tremendously. I ordered the thick parmesan crust on the second pizza and it was pretty disappointing. It was essentially just their normal crust with shreds of parmesan cheese covering it. The crust itself was very thick and almost like a breadstick and was very good without the parmesan. Both pizzas were however very cheesy which made them much better. I also tried their Greek salad, which was very enjoyable. It was a non-traditional Greek salad with unusual ingredients like beets and pepperoncini.

The interior of the store was very small with no tables, only a small bench. I did not have to wait very long but if it had been a busier night it would not have been very comfortable to stand and wait in such a small building.
With the exception of their overly saucy pizza and disappointing specialty crust, I very much enjoyed Jet’s Pizza and would recommend it as a good alternative to the major chain pizza restaurants.

Pizzalogy

Serving some of the most authentic pizzas in town, Pizzalogy is known for its sheet-thin pizzas with a thick, puffy crust. In fact, their pizzas are so thin that a good 10 inch is only recommended for two people. For me, these were not quite up to par. Their Napoli pizza was nothing impressive and was way too burnt. It tasted basically like a bunch of sauce and cheese dumped on a really soft layer of burnt dough.

What was really memorable, however, were their breadsticks. The waitress had recommended them as one of their most popular products and indeed she was right. These were the most flavor packed breadsticks I have ever had. The texture was really soft on the inside and a bit crunchier on the outside. Served with alfredo and tomato sauce, these breadsticks were no doubt the best part of the meal.

Aside from the pizza, Pizzalogy’s bar and dinner setting seems to be geared for older customers. Fully equipped with several wide-screen TVs, the restaurant resembles any other bar and dining area. Its semi-formal atmosphere drives up the prices slightly in comparison to other pizza places.

Despite being named one of the best restaurants in Indianapolis by Indianapolis Monthly magazine in their latest issue, my experience was pretty under whelming. Personally, the pizza was not worth the rather high prices.
