Diavola

I had a fantastic first visit, and I’m sure I’ll be back many more times. The atmosphere was incredibly lively, and I had a great time sitting at the bar. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Lindsey, who gave me some fantastic suggestions for food and drinks. She was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning in the future.

great drinks, amazing wine list, fabulous service from Julia (?)! she walked us through the menu giving personal recommendations and tips that really helped us pick the right things. i’m not a huge pasta person but the mushroom ravioli was one of the best things i’ve ever tasted. best pizza crust i’ve probably ever had. a plethora of vegetarian options with the ability to make them vegan with their vegan cheese menu. definitely look forward to coming back!

Wow! Finally found great pizza in Indy. What a great neighborhood place. Pizza was spot on and the service was outstanding. We'll definitely be back

Had a great time trying out this new place for food. I tried the Wild Mushroom ravioli which was great, lots of flavor, i definitely recommend. the Pizza was really good, especially the crust, light and fluffy! The chicken wings ere decent, no complaints there. Not sure what my dessert was but it’s perfect for a warm day outside, cold, nice and refreshing! Ask for Amber she is amazing and gives great service! Check it out

Had the most incredible Valentine’s Day experience at Diavola last night. It was our first time there and we will definitely be coming back. The restaurant’s ambiance is both cozy and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. We began with the Pera salad, a delightful combination of fresh arugula and pears that was both refreshing and flavorful. For our main course, we opted for one of the brick oven-fired pizzas, which featured a perfect crust and high-quality ingredients. The in-house made fresh pasta was also noteworthy, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to quality. Christopher’s exceptional service, combined with the delicious food and inviting atmosphere, makes Diavola a standout choice for Italian dining in Indianapolis. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to our next visit. Thank you for a great experience on such a busy day.

We did dinner here for the first time. The hosts were prompt and friendly. We quickly got water when sat and had drink orders. Service continued to be phenomenal throughout our experience! For food, we started with calamari and bruschetta. The calamari was good overall. It was a touch rubbery, but the rather salty tasting breading was paired well with a sweeter sauce. The bruschetta had great flavor with fresh ingredients. The bread was much softer than most bruschetta and had gotten pretty soggy from balsamic. For dinner, we tried the parpadelle nero and the shrinp penne with upgraded noodles to parpadelle. The shrimp penne was phenomenal. From amazing homemade noodles to a creamy red sauce with a little kick, I happily ate every bite. The parpadelle nero was an item neither of us would likely get again. The noodles, spices, and tomatoes in the dish were all great, but the lobster was overpowering and pungent with a sharp fishiness well beyond any lobster we've previously had elsewhere. It unfortunately took away from the dish greatly. Looking around, I cannot wait to go try pizza here instead!

It's a cozy little place. It reminds me of little places up in Chicago. The menu is smaller than most. However, the food is absolutely delicious! The pizzas are amazing, you can't go wrong with any of them. If your in the are, definitely try them!

The best pizza in Indianapolis. Great prices and service. Spectacular wine selection

We had gone to Diavola for a night out, somewhere where we could have a nice multi course meal. Diavola is situated in SoBro, just off the Monon trail. There's off street parking in from the of the restaurant. Spaces can be tight on the weekends and certain evenings. We served by Christopher, a pleasant man who served us well and put a candle in our dessert as a way to celebrate our 6-month anniversary. Service was 5/5. The sauce is really good, and we started off with the Eggplant coquettes followed by pizza and calzone. Partly came here because we saw that they offer vegan cheese as a substitute ($3 up charge). My wife is vegan and made her own pizza. I opted for the calzone. Mine was pretty good. Just really big, so there was plenty to take home. I would say food was 8/10. The tartufo dessert was very decadent. Ambiance was nice. There are some vintage posters on the wall, and ambient lighting covering the place. I would advise to make a reservation if you plan to come here on the weekends. The place was packed. Overall, I'd give Diavola 8.5/10. The food was really good but can be pricey if you make substitutions. There is a legit Neapolitan pizza oven in the place. The vegan cheese used melts really well, and the pizza visually and taste wise was appealing. Please come back again. Support local.

We sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. Inside was cozy and perfect for our winter visit. We started with the brussels sprouts, which had bacon, parm, and truffle oil. They were quite a treat. They came out piping hot, which was also a great sign for the rest of our meal. We also got the genovese pizza which had a base of pesto and was topped with chicken, sun dried tomatoes and caramelized onion. It was delicious. I even heard a "best pizza I've had in Indy" spoken. It was also fresh from their brick oven, the crust was crispy yet soft on the inside and the toppings were delicious. It was a win. The only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was that the cocktail menu didn't have prices. That never really makes sense to me and I'm not as laid back as I'd like to be about that kind of thing lol. In the end, I got the Italian Gentlemen cocktail (Bourbon, Campari, Orange Bitters, Lemon Juice and Agave) and it ended up being $14. It was spirit forward and a very good drink so I was happy. We also got a tequila soda with lime which ended up being $9. There is a shared free parking lot and it was easy to find a spot.

The Pera salad was so amazing. I will have to try and recreate it at home. The pears with arugula paired very well. We also got a pizza to share and it did not disappoint. Try the spicy Pomodoro sauce! Service was great and it was no issue to walk in on a Monday night. We will be back!

Diavola makes some of the best wood fire pizza! I love trying all of their different specials and we never go wrong with the classic pepperoni. I think it's a little pricey because they attempt to provide a more upscale atmosphere but the cleanliness and service don't stack up. We recently took some family and had some issues. They didn't take my sisters food allergies or religious preferences very seriously. She doesn't eat tomatoes, tree nuts, or pork and we had some issues when our order first came out. They also have the middle tables too close together and the people behind us kept elbowing us and scooting their chair into our backs. Not the best experience this time.

Such a lovely spot for date night or to grab dinner with friends. My husband and I decided to share a pizza and salad. Everything was absolutely delicious! They have so many options, and it's fun to order plates to share. The restaurant has an upscale vibe, and a great atmosphere. During the warmer months they have tables outside as well. It's easy to make reservations and I would suggest doing so on busy days. Definitely can't wait to come back!

Mark my words: Diavola has the best pizza in Indy!! If you're looking for amazing pizza, you need to try it out. It's a smaller restaurant so they tend to be very busy, but we love ordering takeout and eating our pizza at home. The wait staff is super friendly and attentive. The inside is classic dark Italian vibes. Best pizza around!

Pizza was absolutely delicious, everyone in our party enjoyed their pizza. Large enough to split between 2 people or order one for yourself and likely have leftovers. Truffle Funghi pizza was flavorful and a perfect combo of ingredients. Atmosphere was a tad loud but to be expected the day before Valentine's Day Service was great!

When you're craving a wood fired pizza, Diavola should be at the top of the list! Although they offer delivery and carry out, this pizza is best enjoyed in their small but energetic dining room with views of their bold red Italian wood fire oven. Let's get to the most important part - the pizza! This is neopalitan style crust baked in a wood fired oven with a variety of toppings and sauces from traditional italian to unique American. I'm a crust person and this one does not disappoint. It's what I expect from an Italian wood fired pizza, slightly charred and blistered on the outside that only comes from that hot guy heat wood fired oven, while maintaining that light chewy texture. I ordered the chicken BBQ, the less traditional choice, but all of the toppings were perfectly cooked and distributed. The bbq sauce was Smokey and sweet. My husband ordered the Pera Pesto which was also delicious, and much more rich with the pesto and white sauce flavors. The cocktail list is thoughtful with Italian twists on classics. I am not a wine aficionado, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the list of reds include several Italian varieties that were reasonably priced (low end $38) if you're looking to make it a special night. We also had to do dessert because unfortunately Indianapolis seems to be lacking in Italian bakeries. The cheesecake was true New York Style and the berries were perfect. The tiramisu was light and fluffy. I personally prefer more espresso flavor but my husband insisted it was perfect - so tiramisu lovers, just give it a try!

This restaurant experience was one of a kind and I'm so glad I got to try it. It's a beautiful space inside with lots of different seating options but the front dining area where we were was a bit compact. I ordered the chicken penne and it was very good, especially the chicken. We also got a few desserts to share and they were worth every penny! I would absolutely recommend that creme brulee. Plus our server was able to split the desserts across everyone at the table which was super nice. This is a go-to place for a special dinner with friends or it would be perfect for a date or even business meeting.

Went on a Thursday evening and it was very busy. We did not have a reservation and waited about 30 minutes so I do recommend making a reservation. There is not much room to sit in there if you're waiting for a table. It is a pretty cool vibe and I do like that you can see the pizza oven and watch them making the pizzas! It has a classy vibe without being too expensive. One pizza would be enough to share for two people but we wanted to try multiple things so we went with the Pancetta di Maiale e Ricotta and the Maialina. Both were excellent. I especially love the dough. Only issue was that we ordered two pizzas at once, however they arrived at the table at very different times. We were halfway through the first one before the second one arrived.

Is it a Top 50 Pizza in the world?? I had to find out!! We made reservations for a Valentine's Day date the weekend after the holiday to celebrate and see for ourselves. The first thing I noticed was how busy the restaurant gets after opening. According to Google, it opened for the evening at 5:00 pm. We strolled in for our 5:15 pm reservation and were shocked to see how many tables were already filled! Despite Italian food being best paired with wine, we both went for some Sun King Cream Ale as our beverages. We asked our server for many recommendations and she did not disappoint. For our appetizer, we ordered the Polpette which is their housemade meatballs. The server swore they were the best meatballs she ever had. She was right. They were really good! So tender, juicy, and savory. Their sauce paired very well with the meatballs, and the bits of shaved parmesan added something extra special. It came with some sliced bread, but we didn't eat much since we didn't want to fill up before our entrees! For my entree, I ordered the Maialina pizza (Pomodoro sauce, mozzarella cheese, Italian sauce, pepperoni, and peppadew peppers). My mouth was watering when it arrived at the table. I love pizzas that are cooked by open flames. It wasn't fully cut through which made getting each slice tough, but nothing a knife couldn't handle. The pizza itself was incredible. The sauce and fresh cheese blended just right with the saltiness of both meats. And the peppers added a perfect amount of sweetness and acidity. My fiance ordered the Shrimp Penne. I wasn't expecting it to be so good, but what I tried was AMAZING. I hate to say it, but maybe even better than the pizza! I dipped my pizza crust into the pasta sauce which was the best part of the pasta. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. Not too rubbery or firm at all. Truly perfect. We couldn't resist dessert either! We ordered the Ultimate Chocolate Cake. They were not kidding about it being the "ultimate chocolate" cake. It was so rich and full of chocolate and truly amazing. The family at the table next to us ordered it after seeing us enjoy it! The server was wonderful and very friendly! We were sure to leave her a good tip! We loved the vibes of the restaurant other than the fact that the table next to us was like NEXT to us. We could hear their entire conversation which made it pretty obvious they could hear ours as well. We'd love to come back sometime soon :)

This pizza place was just blissful! I truly enjoyed eating pizza, pasta, and cannoli here! Doable more than exceeded my expectations. I placed a reservation and was seated promptly. Pizza was fresh and hot! The best way to have pizza! The pasta was just as fresh. The meatballs were textures in the pasta were delightful, we cleared that entire plate! Spaghetti and meatballs were a tie with the pizza! So good! The ambiance felt warm and inviting! The waiter was wonderful and friendly!

If you're lazy like me and need pizza dough for a homemade pizza, this is where to go. 10/10

Diavola is a fan favorite for wood fire pizza here in the sobro community. Always packed and family friendly. We love the barbecue chicken and add jalapeño. And they have a great wine selection! I will say the pizza tastes best fresh eating at the restaurant. I don't think it travels well. So my suggestion would be to go to the restaurant to try it first.

We sat in the bar and Andre was our server. Someone said he was new but the service was amazing. He made great recommendations and was a clearly a people person at heart. We started with Calamari and then moved to a Miata salad. They sell quartinos of wine so we shared one of those of Vermintino. It's perfect for two to start. On Andre's recommendation we chose the pizza that was something like Marcello it was delicious. Kayla the manager stopped by and checked on us. We finished with the spumoni covered in a chocolate shell. Great dinner. .

Tied this place for devour Indy and I will be returning! The vibes, food, and service was on point. You can tell that each dish was made with fresh ingredients. At first I was skeptical about Truffle Funghi Pizza, it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this to everyone that goes to Diavola! My favorite pasta sauce is pesto and this pasta was incredible. I will be returning again!!

It never fails to be one of my absolute favorite dinner spots around Broad Ripple area. It's great for take out or a date night or taking your parents here. The most recent visit was during devour, which I sometimes am skeptical about. I only say that because I have been burned in the past with restaurants not making food to order but pass making popular items on the devour menu. Not the case here! For $65 this time around you get an appetizer, 2 salads and 2 entrees. This is perfect for me who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth so I am happy to skip a dessert. The meatball appetizer is always a hit - or get them on your pasta, delicious too. The caesar salad is hands down my favorite salad. The romaine is always fresh and crisp and the croutons are homemade. The best pizza they have is the truffle funghi. Its only for mushroom lovers so beware, but if you do love mushrooms this is the move. We also ordered a sundried tomato pizza, it was good but nothing compared to my beloved mushroom pizza. Pro tip: half priced bottles of wine on Wednesdays!

If you're looking for somewhere to have dinner and have zero expectations, this place would be okay. If you're looking for a "hidden gem" and a "meal that's the closest you'll get to being in Italy" this is not the place for you. Our waitress was nice and seemed to be covering several areas. I ordered an Aperol spritz; which is my favorite apéritif for an italian dinner. The bartenders portions were off and the champagne was entirely too prominent and the color/taste was wrong. We chose the Chianti wine and it was the only pleasant constant throughout our meal. Our first course was Caprino (baked goat cheese, pomodoro sauce, grilled Italian bread). We love goat cheese and were excited for our appetizer. Sadly, there was enough goat cheese for one bite and the rest was the pomodoro sauce. The grilled bread had been burned on the end which made for a not so pleasant taste. Our second course, we both opted for the Rucola salad (fresh arugula tossed with shaved parmesan, red onion, lemon vinaigrette). Our waitress was juggling multiple things at one time and keeping a smile and pleasant attitude while doing so. However, her hands were so full that my salad plate was resting up at the top of her arm between her upper arm and armpit. She had a sleeveless shirt on and needed me to reach up and take my salad as her hands were full. To say this was unappetizing was an incredible understatement. I ate from the side of my plate that had not been resting against her and did not finish it. The dressing left much to be desired and the parmesan had an off taste to it. For our third course we had each chosen a different main. When we inquired what was recommended, we were told that the pizza was the closest you could get to Italian pizza and that this establishment was a hidden gem. As I have recently returned from Europe and visited Italy multiple times, I was excited to finally find something to transport me back to Italy. Perhaps our waitress was referencing Italy, Texas and NOT the country as the pizza did not reflect the expectations that come with being true italian pizza. I ordered the Genovese pizza (pesto, fresh mozzarella, grilled chicken, sun-dried tomato, caramelized onion). The crust was too doughy and the toppings were lacking in both quantity and flavor. The onions seemed to be cooked but were not caramelized. My friend ordered the Tricolore Pappardelle (fresh housemade pasta and basil pesto, mozzarella pearls, kalamata olives, tomato, basil) and paid the upcharge of $3 for it to be made gluten free. While the basil was plentiful throughout her dish, it was hard to distinguish anything besides the basil and the kalamata olives (which were left hole). The proportions of the ingredients were strange as there were 3 baby tomatoes throughout the dish but multiple olives (which did not compliment the dish at all). The pasta was not fully cooked and the sauce was just sitting on top rather than being incorporated into the dish as one might expect with a house made pasta. We were hopeful that a decent dessert would salvage the evening and justify us choosing to frequent this restaurant The Tiramisu lacked the espresso flavor one expects and was still slightly frozen in the middle. The espresso cocktails were an interesting experience as it tasted as though a cold brew coffee had been used, there was no foam and it seemed to have curdled on the top. To say we were disappointed and frustrated would be an understatement. This is not a restaurant that I would consider a hidden gem or would consider visiting again. I can only assume that for the locals, it's a decent reprieve from some of the other options around.

I've been to Diavola 5 times now and every meal I've had has been outstanding... Pizza, lasagna, ravioli, their bread, meatballs, from the apps to the entrées, everything has been excellent. And their chocolate tartouf dessert is unbelievable! The staff is always great, especially the bartenders. This is a great little place that makes some seriously amazing food. Highly recommended!

My lemon drop was good and strong. My cheese bread seemed burnt. But I ate it because it wasn't free. I wasn't happy that a side of ranch was $2.00. Good customer service. The bathroom was clean. I was greeted when I walked in. The restaurant had a dark/warm vibe. Parking was terrible but I eventually found a spot on the side of the building.

First time at this Broad Ripple staple and wow oh wow! We made a reservation for 6PM earlier the same day and got right to our table when we arrived. I love the dark interior. It make for a cute romantic almost hole-in-the-wall vibe. We ordered the garlic cheese bread and had no idea it came out like a pizza size! It was absolutely delicious with the ricotta and Gorgonzola on top. Also ordered the truffle brussel sprouts and I really enjoyed those, but I wish there was some sort of dipping sauce with it. We decided to take the pasta route and I'm so glad we did. The truffle mushroom ravioli is the best ravioli I've had in Indy. Cooked to perfection and absolutely amazing!! Next time I come, I'll definitely be trying the pizza. Everyone that I saw looked delicious. Well be coming back for sure!

I've been wanting to try forever. I just don't make it to broad ripple very often. I do like that Diavola is located in a strip mall setting that actually has several parking spots. This is another spot that I'm torn between stars because the food was really good. Top 3 pizza for the area for sure. Meatballs were good but they were golf ball sized and 14 for 3 is steep. The interior is what brought the star rating down for me. We were seated at a back corner table/booth. All of the pleather material on my side of the booth was pulled out so much that I had to push it down and tuck it back into the cushion to sit down. The backrest of the booth was the same material and it was peeling so bad it was coming off on my clothes! I didn't sit back the entire meal. Both pizzas we had were really good. I would order either again. Cute place and tasty pizza but needs some upgrades.

I should have known this would be a disappointment. I've eaten here before and the pizza came out awful. It was undercooked and practically raw in the middle. I was craving pizza and wanted to give this place another try since it's close/local. Big mistake. This time I ordered delivery and decided to say well done. Since getting it normal seems to be in the line of semi cooked and raw. Didn't realize this meant it would come burnt beyond saving. I can't believe they even thought this was acceptable to send out. What a disappointment. This place is horrible don't waste your money unless you like the flavor of burnt ash.

First time at Diavola, and it won't be our last. We loved the charming and cozy atmosphere of this neighborhood pizza place. We were seated in the bar area and had great service. Our meal started with the mussels. This is big enough for two people, but sadly only came with two small pieces of bread. There was a ton of yummy broth left over, so I wish there would have been more bread to sop it up. I had the Mare pizza, which was so delicious. The spicy sauce combined with the leeks, caramelized onion, and shrimp was such a great flavor experience. My husband got the Diavola pizza and loved it as well. Pizzas are large enough to split, but we wanted leftovers. My only complaints about Diavola are that the tables are very close together and it gets very loud with a full house. But we will be back to try more of the menu.

With reviews like "one of the best 50 pizzerias in the United States" I was worried this place wouldn't live up to expectations. Turns out, my fears were unnecessary. Hands-down, I see why people continue to visit and enjoy the atmosphere and the food. The service was great, the food was excellent, and the vibes were on point. We went for devour downtown. They had a price fix menu with half-size portions. We were glad we thought to ask if the sizes of the portions were smaller, because they were, so we added on a regular size pizza to have an assortment of things to try, and we boxed up the leftovers. The classic Margarita pizza is the best pizza I've had in Indianapolis. Being a New Yorker, that's high praise. We also wanted to try something different, so we got the truffle mushroom pizza and it was so flavorful. So glad we didn't have to choose between the two!

This place GETS IT!!! -- the food, ambiance, and service are ALL there and executed to perfection. I went here for the first time ever about a week ago and I was back in there for dinner 2 days after my first visit -- FREAKIN YUM!!! My first time, we started with the Garlic Cheese Bread as an appetizer, which was amazing! Then we got the trifecta -- pizza, pasta, and a salad! I started with the Caesar salad and it was great -- they do go heavy on the dressing, so if you don't like that, get it on the side. Then we shared the pizza and the pasta -- this is a great choice because you MUST try both. We got the Genovese pizza and the Shrimp Penne -- both were amazing!!! The pizza's crust has GOT to be made with love as it is so fluffy and full of flavor. The pasta was awesome, the sauce stuck perfectly to the noodles and the shrimp pieces were huge! We had to end the night with TWO desserts because we just could not decide, both were phenomenal! You MUST check this place out!

Everything here was delicious!! First time here and it's been a while since I can say Everything was 100! We didn't have reservations so had to wait about 30ish minutes. Some seats opened up at the bar so we sat there. Came on a very cold sat night in January. Not much waiting area space and the door was never shut for more than 30 seconds. They had many carry out orders and diners. It stayed busy all night. Loved that they left a water bottle for us to refill ourselves esp since the water glasses were small. Got a bottle of wine and the Pera salad which was delicious!! We subbed the gorgonzola cheese for goat cheese. Got the garlic cheese bread and it was soooo good! The diavola pizza was perfect! Everything so tasty and fresh. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.

I had a fantastic experience at Diavola. I opted to dine inside to take a break from the summer heat and the interior is cozy and has a classic casual Italian restaurant feel to it. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. So many menu items appealed to me but I noticed that any pizza could be made into a calzone and tried one with spicy marinara, onions, leeks and cheese. It was yummy and I'd definitely try another calzone again. I also ordered a grapefruit NA Prosecco mocktail which was a fun treat. I was too full to try dessert but hope to save enough room next time I come!

The meatballs were very good. The brick oven fire pizza was tasty! Service was a bit slow, but we came close to closing and our service was par nonetheless. The food wasn't THAT great and was kinda pricey. I'm not sure why they're rated high in Indianapolis' places to eat.

The food here is AMAZING it is savory and has the answer to that craving I didn't know I had. The copa spangola is very good especially if you like cherry gelato. The crème brûlée is great and has a nice crunchy layer on top and then a really SMOOOOOOTH creamy layer underneath. I really love this place it is my son and I's go to restaurant. Diavola checks all the boxes. I really recommend!!! (Written by Victor, age 10)

Still the best pizza you can get. So fresh and tasty. The service is top notch. So all in all a great place to chill with a pizza

I ordered through Door Dash and this was easily the worst pizza I have ever tasted. The basil was not fresh or green at all. It was dark and old looking. The bottom was burnt. It was inedible and went in the trash. I was also unable to get a refund through Door Dash.

Taking the New York slice to the next level. Diavola offers amazing brick oven dishes with their speciality, of course, being fantastic pizzas. This is not a Chucky Cheese, though. This is pizza as a fine-dining art form. We also tried the mushroom ravioli and the roasted Brussel sprouts--and both were just as fantastic as the pizza. Though the ravioli might have gone a little too heavy with the truffle. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our waitress was a little flustered when I asked what beer was on draft. She pointed to the drink menu, but the drink menu said "rotating" which effectively means "Ask your server". So that was an odd catch 22 moment. Other than that, it was a wonderful meal. All topped off with a great piece of tiramisu!

Our home away from home. We are so grateful to be near those gem. One of those places where you want to try everything, but you love what you get so much, you only get that. Their service, whether it's at the bar-which we love, or on the patio with the pups is always stellar. Our go to is the caeser salad with anchovies and a build your own pizza with ricotta always. It's so delicious-it's hard to have pizza anywhere else! Diavola is always my husband's first choice!

Diavola pizza is one of the city's best. Their pepperoni and sausage with their marinara is tangy with gooey cheese and a simple tasty crust. It's easy to eat a whole pizza but you'll be too stuffed to sleep. There bartenders are skilled and attentive, matching the busy but low key vibe at the restaurant.

I highly recommend this place, I've been wanting to go here for a really long time and the pizza was absolutely delicious as well as the salad. It's an adorable little spot and let me tell you you better get your name on the waitlist or make reservations because they book up fast. I wish I had pictures, but you can find more on yelp. It's just a great little spot!

Loved the ambiance, food, and dessert. Service was pretty decent too. Great pick for date night. Highly recommend trying their pizza. The smoky flavor to the crust was amazing. Ravioli sauce on so on point that I could have licked the plate if I was eating it at home lol. Creme Brulee matched my hope of it being creamy and fluffy. Drink was just about fine. Neither oh my goodness nor meh.

Gourmet-styled wood-fired pizzas...whaat else does one need for a Friday night? None of the common pizzas here, and we were ecstatic with the Mais Burratta, Rosso, and SoBro. We also shared a Caprese Salad, which was also extraordinary (pesto on the slices, along with the balsamic-olive oil drizzle!). Cannot wait for our next visit, as there are so many more pizzas to sample!

Hi, I'm Chris... and I'm a once a week Truffle Fungi addict. As someone who doesn't particularly care for mushrooms, I am confused and amazed that I can't stop eating them. It's a problem. What are they doing over there!

My experience overall wavered back and forth. The beer/wine/spirits menu was on par for an Italian based restaurant with emphasis on wine and a small offering of local beers. We started the meal with the polpette (meatballs). The meatballs were very good but the consistency of the sauce seemed on the thin side for my preference. As we finished the appetizer the Caesar salad arrived. Nothing in particular stood out with the salad for me. It seemed pretty standard. We ordered two pizzas the Margherita and the Classico minus the mushrooms. The Margherita was really well done and had a subtle crisp to it. The Classico seemed undercooked and it was difficult to hold a slice. We finished each with a dessert. A slice of chocolate cake and a lemon based dessert. Both were very well done and a great way to finish the evening. The waiter was great offering recommendations when we asked. The atmosphere was nice with dim lighting to set the mood. The deck outside also look very nice and with nice weather would be perfect. Overall it was filled with highs and lows. I would give it another chance if the opportunity presented itself.

We just moved to the area and needed fast dinner on a Friday night, Diacola fit that need. We tried 2 pizzas and the garlic bread and it was simply amazing. The staff was super helpful in getting our requests right and helping us navigate the menu. The pomodoro sauce was delicious, we will be getting pizza from here again for sure, loved the fire oven taste.

Good food and service. We got a salad and a pizza...enough to share for two of us and not still be hungry.

A cozy, retro, authentic Italian pizza place nestled in Broad Ripple. We started with the garlic cheese bread - I insist you order it! Lots of different cheeses on their delicious crust. The Caesar salad is average for $9. The pizzas are 13". Enough to share or eat by yourself with some leftovers. I ordered the Parma Pizza - Salsa Bianca (their white sauce), Prosciutto, Parmesan and arugula- yum! Great service on a busy evening. Our waiter answered our many questions on our first visit and helped us make selections. They have an outdoor patio area that I'm sure is lovely in the summer.

Family dinner began with calamari which was fresh and lightly battered. PAPPARDELLE BOLOGNESE was perfect!!! Lightly seasoned and flavorful. We sat outside with two toddlers! Wait staff were prompt, professional and personable l.

Has it really been seven years since I first reviewed Diavola? Yikes. Sometimes, I suck as a Yelp Elite. Diavola changed ownership in 2018, though it has maintained its retro Italian vibe with a dark, intimate interior along with booths/tables that emphasize the communal experience with most settings accommodating at least four people. The building is an older strip center that also houses Dancing Donut. It's an interesting building in that several of the shops in the strip have a step going into them, though Diavola isn't one of them. The building also has several curb cuts, though it actually offers no identified accessible parking despite having 3-4 spots that do have a small aisle next to them that would prove ideal for someone in a wheelchair. As you enter Diavola's single glass door, you arrive at a hosting area. They do accept reservations and have online reservations via OpenTable. Diavola has the only Marra Forni Oven in Indiana, an Italian-made beast of an oven that can "char a perfect crust in 90 seconds." Diavola also utilizes Antimo Caputo flour, an additive-free option that is all natural along with Sinatra brand tomatoes. They keep their menu fairly simple - appetizers (or antipasti), salads, pizzas, and a create-your-own option that starts off at $10. The pizzas offer up several options and should have something to please just about anyone with prices in the $11-15 range. Diavola has a strong appetizer menu, though I have yet to try any while dining in or, as in the case last night, getting a pizza delivered. Appetizers range from Polpo (charred marinated octopus) to Polpette (meatballs, etc.) and much more. They also have a beer & wine menu, though they clearly emphasize wine with only a few local craft brew options. For dining in, it's worth noting that this is an older strip center. There's no defined accessible parking, though multiple spots work fairly well if available. There are curb cuts in several spaces along the building - some work better than others (the one down by Flying Cupcake is awful). I'd also previously noted a crack in the sidewalk that had nearly caused me to tumble. I am unaware of this has been addressed, however, given this is an older building it's worth watching out for to avoid a mishap. I'd previously noted some concerns with service while dining in, however, given the fact that I didn't dine in this time around and ownership has changed I'll avoid that discussion. This is a warm, intimate setting in what is really a working class neighborhood. The price point varies - you can definitely spend a decent amount here, though you can also get a quality pizza at a fair price. As I browsed the menu for delivery, I definitely noted that the menu had more diversity to it than I'd previously noted. I ordered a pepperoni pizza for delivery last night. At $14, it was fairly priced. I ordered via a delivery service and will admit I was a bit hesitant given this is a traditionally finer pizza and I was concerned something would happen with delivery to harm the experience. It is much to the credit of Diavola that despite that "something" actually happening, the pizza was still good (but not great). It arrived not even warm (it tasted like perhaps it had been slightly maintained as warm until the driver arrived). I am grateful an effort was made to keep it warm, but hated the fact that I didn't get a pizza that was at least warm if not hot. The fresh, authentic ingredients made the pizza come to life in a special way even when delivered in less than ideal circumstances (I ordered the pizza at 5:29. It was delivered right around 7:15 with one driver canceling and it taking a while to snag another one). This delivery issue, of course, was no fault of Diavola and entirely on the service (GrubHub). The pizza was appropriately packaged upon arrival and even the boxes were noted as being compliant with Sustainable Forest Initiative. Overall, despite getting a less than ideal pizza I'm still moving this rating up a star. It was good enough that it made me think "I need to get back there," though it was challenging enough that I doubt I would order delivery again.

This was my second time going to Diavola and it was even better than the first! As soon as you walk in, you notice a buzzy atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a busy restaurant in New York City or Chicago. The servers are attentive and got to us as soon as we were seated for drinks; of which they have a nice selection of wines, beers, and cocktails. The calamari is some of the best around. The breading is so light and crisp, and the marinara that comes with it is bright and served hot. We had the mista salad, which was nice, followed by the Bolognese pappardelle, the gorgonzola creme ravioli, and the classico pizza. The pastas were great. The bolognese was flavorful and the gorgonzola creme had just the right amount of truffle oil in it. But the pizza was the star of the show. It was perfectly cooked - a bit charred from the flame. The toppings were great, the crust had a great chew. Dessert was pretty good as well. The chocolate cake was a little firm for my taste, but had a nice flavor. Overall, one of my favorite spots.

The food was amazing especially the spaghetti and meatballs which had great authentic sauce and ambiance was very authentic. It felt like a small pizza shop in Naples

We've eaten in and had takeout. For the pizza I recommend eating in, it's so good when hot out of the oven. The crust is very thin so it doesn't travel well if you drive very far, still very tasty!

There has been a lot of hype around Diavola, and thanks to Devour Indy it has finally given me an excuse to go there. Okay, let me preface that if you're coming here - I'd just come for the pizza because that's where I would tack on an additional star. I came for the devour menu which included an antipasta, insalata, and entree. We got the Polpette which were Italian meatballs, and honestly I thought they were incredibly dry and not that flavorful - tasted like unseasoned ground beef. The salad seemed pretty basic, but my partner said it lacked dressing. For the entree I got the Truffle Funghi, which I feel like is where they get their gold stars. Pizza was amazing, the dough was light and chewy, you can taste the chat of the fire brick oven - cooked Neapolitan style. 10/10 do recommend the pizza. At the end of the day I think they're a-okay, if you stick with the pizza. At the price point though, I would have expected more from their other dishes.
