Napolese Artisanal Pizzeria

I have heard about Napolese but I had not had time to visit it until last week. Napolese is in downtown Indianapolis right by the circle. The environment inside of Napolese is like a hotel dining establishment. The restaurant is not big but has an open concept with a lot of windows! I visited with a friend of mine and we both ordered drinks! She had the rum the jewels and I had a glass of Chardonnay. Our server provided us with great detail on drinks offered. We both ordered a pizza and split it! Her pizza had potatoes on it while mine was a typical margherita pizza. They both were wonderful and fulfilling. I will definitely be back on a warmer day!

This was my first time at the downtown location. I hadn't had Napolese in a long time and quickly remembered how great their pizza and salads are. My sister and I split the house chopped salad which can easily be split between two people. I love the salty salami and chickpeas. We also split the Meridian Kessler pizza which has sausage and mushroom with red sauce. I love a good wood fire pizza. The thin crust is perfection. If you want a light and refreshing cocktail, I suggest the Hugo's Boss. Lemon purée, vodka, Prosecco and mint. Service was a little slow but our waiter was kind and patient with our party of 8. I highly suggest checking out of of their locations around Indy for some great quality pizza!

Ahhh my dears, there is nothing quite like sipping wine on the Napolese outdoor patio by Monument Circle. Kick it off with the Baked Capriole Goat Cheese starter the cheese is surrounded by tomato sauce and comes with the BEST garlic focaccia bread to dip. Next go for the chopped salad, either vegetarian or non (comes with bacon). This is seriously my favorite salad in town. It's incredible and I'd love to know what's in the dressing! It's perfect. I've recommended it to friends who are going here and they've all agreed as well. The craft pizza is unique enough for you to appreciate it, but familiar enough for you to crave it on a weekly basis. It's creative without turning anyone off my non foodie and foodie friends love it alike. I'm a sucker for the classic margherita. Lastly the Olive Oil Cake and Affogato di Gelato are your desserts to get. The Olive Oil Cake was moist and incredible and the affogato espresso was poured over the gelato and was presented in a really cool way. It was perfect to share with our group at the end of the big meal, as we each got a few bites and were satisfied. Thanks so much, Napolese! I'll be back soon.

Upon searching for restaurants downtown recently that aren't chains or steakhouses, we stumbled upon Napolese. Is this my favorite pizza in the city? Nope. Is this a good alternative to many of the other restaurants downtown? Yeah. Every time I've been here, I haven't had a pizza that I didn't like. Last night, I had the Boz's Pie pizza with sweet potatoes, goat cheese, brussels sprouts, and other cheeses. It was delicious. I've also had a variety of other vegetarian friendly pizzas and they haven't disappointed. If you're looking for a light pizza that isn't overly filling and doesn't make you feel like you consumed nothing but oils and fats, this pizza is for you. If you're looking for the delicious, cheesy, filling pizza that most Americans love, look elsewhere as you won't find that here. Good alternative to other restaurants in the downtown area, but not my go-to restaurant by any means.

Best pizza and salad, heck everything here is Amazing..its such a beautiful place..hands down our absolute fav place for pizza.
