Mother Bear’s pizza is an iconic part of Bloomington and the Indiana University culture! The unique experience they give is to be able to sign the walls and seat backs. I didn’t see any rules posted about not signing the tables or wall art but people seem to respect the process and avoid those areas. And what about the food you ask? It is good. I personally like the deep dish with sauce on top. It is Chicago-esque style if you order it that way. A small 10” square pizza in that style will run you about $20 before tax and tip. The 6” individual pizza will run you less than $10 before t&t. They have Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and salt on each table, so experiment wit...
The standout moment, however, came the next day when we realized I had left my Fanny pack at the restaurant. I called the restaurant on Sunday morning in a panic, but the woman who answered was very kind and confirmed they had it. Since I couldn't return to pick it up, I asked if I could pay to have it shipped to Iowa. She suggested I call back on Monday to talk to the General Manager. When my husband called on Monday, he spoke with Steve, who not only agreed to send it back with no charge, but also had it shipped that same afternoon. My Fanny pack and belongings arrived safely at my doorstep today. Huge thanks to Steve at Mother Bears West for going above and beyond in customer service!
The pizza at this restaurant is fantastic, and the atmosphere is just as great. It can get quite busy at times, but I personally prefer coming during weeknights or off-peak hours. The service is good overall, with a rating of 4 out of 5. The atmosphere is also excellent, with a rating of 5 out of 5. The average price per person for dinner is between $10 and $20, which is reasonable for the quality of food and atmosphere.

Mother Bear's is awesome pizza. The west side location is a little more open and spacious than campus. Same great flavor. DID YOU KNOW, that on your bday, Mother Bear's will give you a percentage discount equivalent to your age? I recently learned this before my son's bday, so we only got about .86 off, but my husband and I plan on hitting them up on our big days from here on out for more sizable savings.
Dining in for lunch, the price per person ranges from $10 to $20. The food and service both rated a 4 out of 5, while the atmosphere received a 3. Recommended dishes include the Pepperoni Pizza. Vegetarian options are available with a dedicated menu or section. Finding parking may be somewhat difficult, but there is a free parking lot available.
This restaurant consistently delivers a fantastic dining experience. Their pizza is exceptional! The service is top-notch, making it a great spot for a lunch outing. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $10 to $20 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a perfect rating of 5. I highly recommend trying The Divine Swine dish.
The service at this restaurant was absolutely terrible. They forgot to bring one of our party's orders and then forced us to pay a mandatory gratuity, suggesting we add an extra tip on top of that. We will not be returning here.
