The pizza was outstanding. It looked and tasted delicious. The crust had a buttery and crisp texture and the toppings were generous. The staff was courteous and service was quick. The atmosphere was a bit of a disappointment... clean but it looked like it was being renovated. There was a steady stream of takeout and Door Dash orders.

I just literally ate this before typing this on May 2nd 2025. I’m still smacking on my food because of how good it is. First off they are not like other pizza places. They have no pork in their food which is a A in my book. Thanks Magoo’s for great food and great customer service! Please check them out you won’t regret it!

Best Pizza ever! The jalapeno cheesy bread was amazing too! The gentleman who cashed me out which seemed to be the owner was very kind and welcoming! Definitely recommend to anyone!

I love this place. I have been coming here for years. The food is great & so is the customer service. It always has been and I’m sure it will always be. Stay blessed!! Try the meat lovers with garlic sauce, you won’t be disappointed!!!

NO EXAGGERATION when I say it’s the BEST pizza I have ever had. I have been to NY and Chicago but this one is the best yet. I have never tasted something this DELICIOUS! My husband and I eat here monthly! I mean, the crust is amazingly made- the dough is fresh, the crust is just the right amount of crunchy. The toppings are SO GENEROUS. The garlic white sauce is the best sauce they have for their pizza. I love their chicken tikka pizza and their meat lovers. I always order 1 L 1/2 of each (which they do it happily). This pizza place is truly the Gem of Indianapolis. can we also take a moment to appreciate the fact that the pepperoni is not Pork It’s pizza heaven here!!!

I’ve been on a quest to find the best pizza in Indianapolis. Opening the box, and seeing the pictures online, I had my doubts about this place. The pizza doesn’t LOOK like the best pie in town. But... At my first bite of chicken tikka with garlic sauce pizza, this became the clear winner. But on my second piece, I realize that there is a caveat. This pizza is incredibly rich, decadent even. It’s almost the savory pizza equivalent of the incredible chocolate tortes that I used to serve at high end parties—amazingly delicious, but you can’t eat too much or you’ll regret it. Still, 5 stars for that first slice!

Me and my coworkers always come here on our lunch break and we absolutely love it. The service is always impeccable. The food is always amazing. you have to try the meat lovers pizza with white garlic sauce with some jalapenos and dip it in their homemade ranch, you will fall in love and keep coming back time and time again. I’ve shared this place with all my family and friends, anytime they say they want pizza. I automatically know we’re coming to Magoo’s.
