This family-owned favorite has been serving up some of Indiana’s best pizza since 1954. Locals will tell you it’s as much a part of Vincennes’ history as the Red Skelton Museum and the George Rogers Clark Memorial.

A Family Legacy Baked Fresh Daily

At Bill Bobe’s, tradition is more than just a word — it’s a recipe. The pizzeria still uses the original family recipes that started it all over 70 years ago. Everything from the dough to the sausage is made in-house and fresh every single day. No shortcuts, no frozen crusts — just authentic, hand-crafted pizza made the old-fashioned way.

Beyond pizza, the menu is full of local favorites like strombolis, garlic breadsticks with cheese sauce, and a fresh salad bar that’s a meal all on its own. Whether you crave thin crust, deep dish, or extra cheese, Bill Bobe’s makes sure every order tastes like home.
