Tale Tuesday: your neighbor's pie

Friends and neighbors are the secret to the sauce at Jockamo Upper Crust, a neighborhood pizza joint with locations on Indy's east and now on the city's south side, too. Before Mick, Nancy, Bob, and Laura started working together to mix Jockamo's housemade dough and cook up their original sauce, the four were Irvington neighbors all hungry for a neighborhood pizza joint that paid as much attention to its toppings as it did its customers.

With hungry support for even more of their neighbors, Jockamo serves up a regular menu and seasonal slices that all feature the top toppings that central Indiana produces. Their Shrimp and Tasso Pizza pairs Smoking Goose Tasso with shrimp, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts while our Tasso gets gilded with their new housemade 1000 Island Dressing in Jockamo's Shrimp & Tasso salad. Ask for the "Heidi Hernandez" and get a pie with a kick from Smoking Goose's Mexican Chorizo sausage. And since BBQ's too good for just the grill, order up Jockamo's BBQ Pizza loaded with Smoking Goose Smoked Chicken, sweet peppers, and gouda.
