Bill & Betty Bobe’s the Pizza Express

I’ve been here multiple times over the years and recently visited again. I forgot how good this place was! The thing I LOVE about it the most is that it’s not your typical Southern Indiana pizza. If you’re from S.IN. you’ll understand that statement. We ordered a veggie pizza and it was perhaps the best veggie pizza I’ve ever had. The thin crust was crispy and cooked to perfections and the toppings, although not typically on a veggie pizza, were perfect and inspired me to tweak my at-​home-​recipe. The combination of mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes and more were accompanied with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. And the sauce was spectacular. Our friend ordered a pasta dish that was just huge and looked like the perfect comfort food on a cold evening.
Our server was very attentive and friendly and even brought us a basket of warm cookies for us to enjoy on the house. I love everything about this place including the warm, cozy atmosphere with the dark wood and burning fireplace. Almost reminds me of the old pizza places back in the day. WINNER!

The staff were courteous and quick. The meal was very good. Both my cheese ravioli and my husband’s lasagna were made fresh. The atmosphere was nice and it wasn’t too crowded. To top of a pleasant experience, we were offered free fresh baked cookies. I’m not sure if the staff does this all the time or what, but the cookies were delicious. I would have loved to buy a dozen to take home. Lastly, the staff did not question my need to have my service dog with me which was very refreshing.

I have NEVER been disappointed here. The pizza is awesome and appetizers are wonderful. I used to get a pepperoni and cheese Stromboli when I was in high school, but found out last year (I have lived outside of IN for about 16 years now) that the Strombolis are either smaller, or I remember them being larger (most likely the latter). Now I always get the farouk with no mushrooms (the only way I like mushrooms is fried), often with a side of fried mushrooms (they are not morels, but just as good).
This place is usually packed, so come a little early just in case.

Amazing and great atmosphere. Good service. It can be a little pricey but it is definitely worth it.

Really impressed with the food but not the prices. Although the steak is worth the cost, the atmosphere is not. It was one of the best ribeye’s I’ve had in quite a while. The sweet potato was pure awesomeness, rolls delicious. The Vinegar Slaw was different, not bad but not what I was expecting. Deep fried portabellas were also tasty but a tad bit on the greasy side. Service was great, but $ 36.95 for a steak dinner on a table with a plastic tablecloth is a lil much in my book.

Great food and great value. A bright spot in the local eatery lanscape. Some people may think it’s a bit pricy but I feel you get what you pay for!

Great atmosphere, good food, but service is generally pretty slow. The food is good, not great, but lots of variety on the menu. From pizza and Italian, to steak and popcorn shrimp. No significant complaints, just not a 5 star overall resaurant

I found Bobe’s Pizza while working near Washington over the course of four weeks. This review is of my most recent visit.
We arrived at 2PM on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately Bobe’s doesn’t open until 4PM. We had ridden motorcycles all day, two of us from northeast Indiana and another couple from near Indianapolis in miserable weather enroute to an overnight stop in Evansville during a lengthy spring ride. At my urging, we planned a stop at Bobe’s. We waited in the parking lot and met some of the staff who provided us with menus and invited us in to wait where it was warm. There they served us coffee and took our orders (2 orders of onion rings and mushrooms, 2 large pizzas). And then, they served it, straight from the oven, 45 minutes before they opened!
The food was every bit as good as I expected and really hit the spot. Best pizza EVER! If you’ve forgotten what pizza should taste like, you need to sample Bobe’s Pizza. The staff treated us like family and everything prepared to perfection. If we ever venture to southwestern Indiana again, you can bet Bobes Pizza will be on the agenda. And we promise to arrive during business hours. 5+ in all rating areas.

To me, this place is mediocre. The pizza tasted like greasy bread covered in tomato paste. Not much in the way of flavor that one couldn’t get from opening a can and pouring it on dough. I’ve had better pizza from dominos. On the bright side, the cheese is ample and appreciated. Service is good. Steaks are decent, but extremely overpriced. It does seem like people go here out of habit more than for the good food. Not necessarily a bad thing, I guess.

The food is good here but sometimes overly oily. Somethings taste like they are made from frozen. Overall good atmosphere and good pizza.

Starting when I was in high school, Bobe’s was part of our weekly menu. We lived with in walking distance and we figured it was a way to justify the calories.
I now live 800 miles away but make trips back to Washington. When I’m there, I insist on a farouk (even if all I get is an individual). All these years later, Bill and Betty still make them fabulous! I still get Bobe’s cravings.

Bobe’s is an institution within my family. I appreciated Bobe’s more once I went away from Southern Indiana for school then off the Washington DC area. When I am back home visiting family it is required that we eat here or get pizza and mushrooms for takeout, maybe more than once? The Faruque (sp?) pizza is awesome and the white pizza is a great veggie lover’s pizza. My wife and I fight over their fried portabella mushrooms. I cannot comment on the rest of their menu as I have never tried anything else. Bobe’s used to only be a small family owned pizza chain with a limited menu in southern Indiana and southern Illinois. The Washington location I hear also has good steaks and other dishes off the menu.
BTW: This is the best Bobe’s location, followed closely by 6^th street in Vincennes and their Lawrenceville, IL location.

check them out on tue, wed, and thu for their steak dinner and you will not be disappointed. not too shabby for what is supposed to be a pizza place. by the way the pizza is good too.
