    One of the best thin crust pizzas I've had! The crust was perfectly cooked and the flavor of the pizza was delicious. Their specialty drinks need a little help.

    Food and Service, by Denise was fantastic. Atmosphere was a bit loud, but doable. Smoking is allowed in bar. Christmas Decor was cute. Enjoyed a Meat Lover's Large, Pizza with my oldest, son. Will go again. Oh plus patrons, come for the Perch too. Try it!

    ⸻ What a hidden gem in Miller! Hands down the BEST margarita I’ve had in years (on the rocks, no salt — perfection!). The Lake Perch basket was spot-on, fried mushrooms were delicious, and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. Great music, friendly people, amazing service. We’ve found our new go-to spot — HIGHLY recommend Flamingo Pizza! As in , hurry up and get you a booth inside , a seat at the bar or a table out on the patio , you will thank me

    I provided a very positive review of this neighborhood vibe and dog friendly establishment last Summer. They even served a freshly grilled 1/2 pound doggie burger for $5 and brought out a bowl of water for our pouch! I loved the ribeye sandwich and we said we would definitely be back. My wife and I came back since we were in the vicinity. The service was fantastic and the quality of the lake perch was great. We were disappointed on the sautéed shimp; they were small and appeared boiled instead. Unfortunately they didn't have any walleye or bluegill that day from the menu. The adjacent table had a pizza that looked nice. The beers are reasonably priced with a good selection to choose from. Their featured cocktails are a bit overpriced for the quality. Overall experience is good - check them out after a great day at the beach.

    Flamingo Pizza of Miller in Gary, IN, is a bustling spot with a lively bar vibe that's perfect for a casual night out. The restaurant was packed, which contributed to a bit of noise, but the energetic atmosphere made it feel like a local hotspot. We were seated quickly, with efficient service throughout the night. Our food came out in just 15 minutes, and we weren’t disappointed. Our friends raved about the pizza—it looked delicious and had great flavor. My wife’s perch was perfectly cooked, flaky, and seasoned well, making it a highlight of her meal. I opted for the ribeye steak sandwich, and while it had a bit of fat, the mid-rare steak was juicy and full of flavor. Prices were fair, and the overall experience was enjoyable. While I’d come back for the food, the weekend crowd made it hard to hold a conversation, so I’d recommend trying it on a quieter night if you’re after a more relaxed meal.

    I have never had a bad meal here.. There is nothing better than a hot, delicious pizza with a crispy crust. The chicken wings are hot and juicy and come with different sauces. They offer alcoholic beverages and pop to drink..
