Indianapolis, IN
After stopping for lunch in Bloomington, we drove up to Indianapolis to try another new pizzeria on the list, The Missing Brick. This place was a totally different vibe than what we are used to. The website states “Our pizzas reflect popular flavorful dishes such as lasagna, seafood boils, and barbeque ribs that the urban community can relate to.” This is their own, ‘Indy-style’, pizza, and we’ve never seen anything like it in all of our travels.
We’re pretty much traditionalists when it comes to pizza, although we do like a unique flavor combination. We didn’t really know what to expect here. We ended up ordering the Woodstock, which was a brisket pizza with BBQ drizzle. Their seafood pizza (The Trap) gets a lot of reviews, but we just couldn’t do it. We ate out on the deck while being serenaded by the very loud cicadas.
Not only are the pizzas here unusual, but the vibe is incredibly unique as well. The pizzeria is 21+ only, to start, due to the music they play and some of their menu options. However, it seems like all ages are welcome to enjoy the pizza outside on the deck. Also, they are only open from 5-10 on Thursdays through Sundays.
We like the community focus of this pizza place, and the fact that it is woman-owned, even if the pizza was not really our style. There is a lot of interaction with other local businesses for their brisket and seafood, and they have really tried to make their location a welcoming spot with DJ parties and Friday night music. We just wish the crust was a little less dense.
Compared to our first pizza in Indiana, we didn’t like this one as much, but I can’t say we would have put either on the list of the best pizzas in the country.
