Napolese - Indianapolis

Came to Napolese after a trip to Keystone mall and needed a bite to eat. I was taken aback by not only the excellent food, but also our server went above and beyond to make our dinner as great as possible. Our server took his time to answer every question we had and even told us about a spicy olive oil that was AMAZING on the burrata pizza.

The pizza was really good. We got a traditional and a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms (can't remember the name). They were both delicious and cooked perfectly. They had a decent wine list and some beers to choose from. Do not get the focaccia and olive oil. The olive oil is a very fruity olive oil, which is fine, but not my style. The focaccia was almost not edible, cold and hard and the oddest flavor. But definitely come for the pizza. The meatballs looked delicious and the table next to us were very much enjoying them. Service was fine.

We visited for a quick, but nice, lunch after some shopping based on a recommendation from a friend. We were blown away by the friendly service, excellent pizzas with amazing flavor, and a setting that makes you forget you're in the mall. The pizzas were so tasty (the burrata pizza comes as a rip dip as authentically as you can get in indiana) and were done with reasonable quickness. Highly recommend!

This restaurant takes mall food to a new level. Yes, it's in the Fashion Mall at Keystone the Crossing. However, the food quality is high and their farm-to-table partners are proudly displayed on the wall. The music is a playlist of hip, pulsing choices. I chose The Classic with mozzarella and pepperoni added arugula. The pizza kitchen is open to the Wood Stone pizza oven. Mall shoppers can look in at the main kitchen. There's a full bar including craft beers. They provide a plate of olives to nosh while you order. Since I was feeling indulgent, I ordered Tiramisu to close my dining experience. If you're in the mood for cheesecake, you're in luck! In addition to Napolese's Pumpkin Ricotta Cheesecake (with pumpkin seed caramel sauce), The Cheesecake Factory anchors this section of the Fashion Mall and you can grab a slice to go.

I've been drawn back to Napolese again and again! Their salads and pizzas—referred to as "pies"—never fail to impress me in both size and flavor. The wood-charred taste of the pizza crust is incredibly delicious and truly addictive. My salad came with a generous serving of feta, and the slices of smoked salmon added a delightful smoky flavor. I savored every bite and loved the fresh arugula combination. We sat outside on a perfect summer evening, which made it even better. I highly recommend Napolese; I feel like a broken record, but I just can’t resist the amazing food!
