The Flame

With limited choices appealing to us at the nearby Lake of the Torches casino, we walked over to The "New" Flame. I'm not certain what's new about it, but we spied the word "new" in front of the word "flame" numerous times. (Management, I presume.)

The Flame claims they have the Number 1 pizza in the northwoods. That sounded good to us, so we loaded up a medium pepperoni with mushrooms, onions, and black olives. It was good ... really good! Growing up in the northwoods, I've come to realize that good pizza up here does not have the same definition as good pizza in the cities. Usually it means piling up ingredients in a giant heap upon a soft, doughy crust leaving a muddled, flavorless profile. Not so at The Flame. The ingredients were fresh and of a higher quality layered atop a thin, crisp crust. Just the way I like it!

Our service was good.  Our waitress had a genuine concern that everything was right with our visit. She was friendly and kind and quick with the beers.

Pizza finished, we headed to the bar to take advantage of their bucket of 6 shorties on ice for $6. After all, the Packers first preseason game of 2012 was on the tube. Being the genuine Wisconsinites that we are, there's no way we can leave a bar until the game is over. While at the bar, the Pack only scored once, but that one score brought out a round of Apple Pie shots. Apple Pie? What a perfect dessert to our pizza!

I like The Flame. Next time I'm in the northwoods and in the mood for pizza, I'll know just where to go--The Flame!

At least this time, they had cheese.  We ordered a large veggie and a large pepperoni pizza a couple of days ago.  Stll really good pizza, but not worth $40!!!!  I've enjoyed my last taste of Flame pizza.  That is WAY too rich for my blood!
