It's hard to beat a good pizza... and it tastes even better when you know it's from a locally-owned small business rather than a national chain. In fact, one of our local favorites has a saying: "No Farms. No Pizza." Since Morgan County is still a relatively rural area compared to the rest of Central Indiana, we have an intimate understanding of that phrase, and we know that food doesn't get any better than local! No matter what part of the county you're exploring, sometimes you just need a great pizza to complete your day. Here's your guide to local pizza places in Morgan County, by community. (Note: We are including only locally-owned independent and Indiana-based chains in this list.)
