Steve Wechter opens Apezza carry out and delivery pizza.
In a time where pizza prices are down and delivery services are speeding up, a new Geist pizza spot is taking an innovative approach to business. Pizza that is not the cheapest and not the fastest with a motto that reads “life is too short to eat cheap pizza”!
Owner Steve Wechter (formerly of Famous Jacks) opened “Apezza” next door to Mama Bears at Fall Creek and Brook School Road (10122 Brooks School Road).
Despite the fact that several businesses have come and gone in this location, Wechter feels confident he can succeed.
“Bella Vita Ristorante obviously did very well here,” says Wechter. “ I think if you give people what they want, you can make it work.”
“We offer really good pizza, breadsticks and wings that are worth the wait.”
Wechter says they make about 77 pounds of fresh dough daily at Apezza along with their own sauce and their own Italian blend of sausage. They also have a secret cheese blend for toppings.
“You won’t find a blanket of plain mozzarella on these pizzas!” added Wechter.
A few specialty pizzas are offered, but the basic small pizza starts at $8.95 and the large at $12.95. Apezza is carry-out and delivery to the immediate Geist area only.
The menu reads:
we could be like everyone else and get your pizza to you in 20 minutes. But if we did that our pizza would taste like the other guys. And honestly we just wouldn’t feel right about that.
They also quote Tom Petty, “The waiting is the hardest part!”
I took pizza and breadsticks home to three good pizza critics–my kids. My 14-year-old said she could fill up on one piece of the pizza it was so hearty! My 12-year-old said the pizza dough breadsticks were her favorite by far, and my 9-year-old boy said, “Who’s Tom Petty anyway?”
So welcome homemade Apezza pizza. And while you are waiting for your carry-out order, check out the fabulous candy selection! It is a blast from the past with Beeman’s gum, Chick-O-Stix and Zero bars.
All in all, it just makes waiting, “the hardest part,” a little more fun!

Next time it's pizza night at our house, THIS is exactly where we're ordering from. This location is high-traffic for our family with Mama Bear's and Jonah's Market hit at least once a week in our house. Hoping it becomes the next regular for us.
We decided to try Apezza for dinner tonight and it was great! The pizza was delicious and they even gave us a free order of bread sticks. We have found our new pizza place.
Does anyone know if they offer (or plan to offer) a gluten free crust also? My wife has a gluten allergy and it's hard to find anyplace with one that tastes good enough that is worth eating. We have discovered Monicals in Noblesville but that is quite the distance from our house. It would be great to have a local place that we could frequent.
Puccinis has gluten free pizza and pastas.
First time ordering, so tried pizza, wings, and breadsticks for delivery. The pizza (sausage, pepperoni, mushroom) was excellent. Forgot the cheese sauce with our breadsticks, but they sent out a new order with extra cheese. The wings (spicy lemon butter garlic) didn't taste like they were seasoned with anything, so I actually sent one back with the driver. They said the wings were made correctly. Will try another flavor next time. Not a perfect experience, but they made things right with me and we'll definitely order again!
Ordered the spicy chicken BBQ pizza and the high fiber pizza. Both were pretty good, though I prefer more of an Italian thin crust. This is sort of a deep dish thick crust approach, which is OK but high on the carbs!
Maybe they'll eventually offer a thin crust?
They do offer a thin crust!!!
I am a pizza fanatic and I am a pizza aficionada, along with great chili dogs. I have consumed pizza thru out the U.S. and Europe and of course Indiana and I am here to tell you to order the large pepperoni and “homemade sausage” pizza from Apezza. They make their own dough and fire the pizza in the old style Blodgett Ovens. It does not get any better then that. Yes I have my favorite place in Chicago and they are king to the deep dish. But give I give Apezza major kudos for preparing an excellent pizza with fresh ingredients and it is very filling. This is one pizza that the crust will never be discarded. A true original and exceptional pizza unlike the big guy chains!
Awful pizza The crust had black burnt stuff embedded in the bottom of it! I'm not sure if it was old toppings or old crust they just cooked it on top of ugh!!! The thin crust dough was too chewy and tasted old. The toppings were sparse and didn't like the cheese!
