Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza — Restaurant in Indianapolis

Ok, I will start with the good. Server was cool, water glasses were large and cold on a hot night. Patio was dog friendly. I didnt go in side so cant rate thatHouse salad upgrade was half decent, lots of toppings (though 25% of the lettuce was partially frozen). Whatver, it came out fast and the food runner was friendly. Ordered half and half pizza, it was mid. Not horrible, not great. Should've stuck with that. Then I had to go and order the sandwich. 2 actually. A Reubano and a Italian Beef. I just had a italian beef at Chicago Beef Company yesterday and it was outstanding. Hot, lots of meat, tasty au jus, hot peppers, wet as requested, but still crusty parts of bread. I should've not tried to top it. The italian beef had very little beef, the bread was ok, but everything was flavorless, peppers were sweet. We requested jalapenos on both sandwiches they forgot, we requested cut in half, they forgot. The vinnegrette that comes with the beef is a weird salad dressing that I was hoping for vinegar but the actual au jus would have given it some flavor. I ate it, it was like a bad philly cheese steak from a grocery store. Now the Reubano may be the worst sandwich I have ever had. The ham/pork cuban meat that would normally be on a cuban was a weird brown mystery meat of some pork family, tasted gross. The addition of pepperoni I thought would be good but just added a little grease the reuben meat was dull, dry, corned beef/pastrami? not sure exactly. The toppings were uneven and everything together despite all the variety , had little to no flavor, and the flavor it did have was bad, real bad. Makes my stomach turn to think of it. I am an adventureous eater. I can handle weird menu items and mash ups, this missed the mark so bad I didnt even want to mention it to the server just wanted to leave. I did find a solution to get something out of the WSE worst sandwich ever. If you pulled out all the meat, spread the uneven sauerkraut , and added mustard, you could actually enjoy a half edible concoction of pretzel bread and some cheese, kraut,.....something. I couldve eaten my own shoe and it wouldve tasted better than what was served. Don't get either sandwich, I guess come for beer and the patio. Maybe have some pizza, but previous reviews make that seem iffy as well. Ugh. Just thinking of the reubano makes me want to puke. Sorry, sad but true it...

Too much cheese on the specialty pizzas! I know that sounds silly right, isn’t pizza supposed to be all about the cheese? But, in this case, when you order the specialty pizza, with the special toppings, and the different flavors, having too much cheese on it is a disadvantage.

First, I loved the vibe of the place. If we were eating in, I love this space and this neighborhood. Also, everyone seemed very friendly. But we got the food to-go, to bring back to our Airbnb to watch the Purdue game!

I was so excited about this menu. It’s the execution that was a little bit off. I was also excited that they let me do a specialty pizza half-and-half.

I had half creole and half Bombay garden. I think they would’ve both done well to have very little cheese, because it didn’t seem to go with the rest of the flavor situation. In fact, the creole could’ve had no cheese, and just amped up on a creamy étouffée sauce as a cheese substitute. As it was, I felt like the cheeses overwhelmed all the really interesting elements of both pizzas. In the future, please consider more masala sauce on the one pizza and more étouffée sauce on the second pizza, and a really light hand on the cheese. These are special ingredients, let’s not smother them with the cheese. When we are back in Indianapolis, we will certainly give them another try, and tell them either no cheese or light cheese, because the menu is really...

Update 9/11 I came in with my wife because she was attending a meeting. Since I was not part of the meeting I was told by the hostess I could sit outside. I sat there for over 30 minutes and could never get waited on. Finally the lady came over and asked me if I need anything or if I was going to order. Never got silverware never got a drink never even got waited on for 30 minutes everyone looked at me ignored me.. I don't think I'll be coming back. Don't get me wrong the pizza's good but their service is just totally not worth it every time I've come the service is never equaled the quality of the food. One waiter looked at me numerous times and could have stopped at any moment said hey are you waiting to be received. The waitress waited on five people ahead of me. She even had the audacity to ask me to order something because I couldn't sit there without ordering anything. Worst experience ever, it was a blond server and she had no business doing this job.

IN RESPONSE: I think this is the first time I've ever responded to a response from the owner. Is obvious if you don't understand this then that explains the caliber of service did you get sad because your pizza is...
