The Geist location isn’t the Andrus’ first venture into the Pearl Street Pizzeria concept. They initially opened their flagship Pearl Street location in downtown Indianapolis in 2010. Adding to their local culinary footprint, they are also co-owners of Pure Eatery, a beloved spot with locations in Fountain Square and Fishers off 116th Street. This rich background in the Indianapolis food scene underscores their commitment to quality and community.
“We’re excited to be part of the growing community of independent restaurants in Fishers,” Courtney Andrus shared, highlighting their enthusiasm for being part of the local food scene.
At the heart of Pearl Street Pizzeria’s mission is a dedication to serving high-quality food that remains accessible for families. This commitment is evident in their sourcing practices. Whenever possible, Pearl Street Pizzeria prioritizes local produce and ingredients sourced from the Midwest, ensuring freshness and supporting regional agriculture.
“We pride ourselves on using fresh ingredients and make almost everything in house daily, including our dough,” Andrus explained. “We only have a freezer for our ice cream!” This dedication to fresh, house-made components is a cornerstone of their menu.
Pearl Street Pizzeria boasts a diverse menu that goes beyond just pizza. Guests can enjoy a variety of salads, pizzas, calzones, oven-baked pastas, sandwiches, and wraps. A standout item, their Spicy Chicken Gorgonzola soup, is so popular it’s the only soup offering needed, a testament to its flavorful appeal and customer favorite status. The pizzas are a highlight, featuring recipes passed down from a friend’s father, known for their generous toppings. The pizza selection ranges from familiar favorites like the Traditional Supreme and Courtney’s personal pick, the BBQ Chicken, to more unique and artisan options such as the Mad Greek and the Pear and Gorgonzola. Customer favorites also include the Cheesy Breadsticks, perfect for sharing, and the Shrimp and Pesto Flatbread, thoughtfully offered on a gluten-free crust to cater to various dietary needs.
To enhance the dining experience, Pearl Street Pizzeria offers daily lunch specials, including a slice of the day and a sandwich of the day, each served with a side salad. Beverage specials are also available, with $1 off craft pints on Mondays for beer enthusiasts and half-priced bottles of wine on Tuesdays for wine lovers. The bar features an impressive 22 rotating taps, showcasing a wide selection of craft brews primarily from the Midwest region, supporting local breweries and offering a diverse beer experience.
A notable feature distinguishing the Geist location from its downtown Indianapolis counterpart is the addition of an outdoor patio, perfect for enjoying pleasant weather. Furthermore, the Geist location offers a spacious dining room suitable for hosting private events, making it an ideal choice for gatherings and celebrations.
When asked about what truly sets Pearl Street Pizzeria apart, Courtney emphasized, “it’s our staff, service, and the community feel.” This focus on creating a welcoming and community-oriented environment, combined with their dedication to quality food and drink, makes Pearl Street Pizzeria & Pub a standout dining destination in Geist.
