A great bar-- cozy, not terribly smoky even when it's packed (nonsmoking in the back), tasteful and quality decor. Service is not outstanding but it's usually pretty decent. A great after work kind of a place with a solid selection of liquor, draft beer, and food. I feel a little bit out of place being excluded from the early 40's - late 50's group, but every time I go by myself I always end up talking to random people and having a good time. I've never had the pizza, but I trust it is better than Chicago pizza, and I hear good things. Perch is legit, as many have said before me.
Review Source:Remember the vacation summer homes as a kid? The local restaurants? This place reminds me of summer youth in Wisconsin BUT only it's 45 mins. from Chicago. Steps from the private beaches of  Lake Michigan. Serves a great purpose. It's packed during the summer time from beach lovers. The food is two steps above bar food. The pizza is decent. The fries. The fries. That's why you should come. If you ever need a break from City life, go to the beaches of Miller, the Dunes of Indiana and finish with a cold one and a bite full of really good food.  It's a package deal.
Review Source:You need to get beyond the carry out. Â
To the side is a bar. Â The bar is your typical neighborhood type with mixed clientele. Â This hides an excellent restaurant. Â Lunch has a nice mix of specials that are tasty.
But, my favorite is the perch. Â I'll put it close to Teibel's. Â The basket has become my regular lunch item with one of their boutique brews.
If you look beyond the obvious, you will be rewarded
Ah, Flamingo Pizza! Â This place has got to be at least 20 years old, based on my years of experience there. Â Just a few blocks from Miller Beach, the shores where I spent most of my childhood summers, Flamingo Pizza was the site of many wet-bathing suit dinners when I was growing up. Â I had my first popcorn shrimp at Flamingo! Â And my first flavored Diet Rite can of pop! Â These are special memories, people. Â The pizza is good, but I think the stromboli is better. Â If the delightful smell of baking pizza doesn't get you drooling, you might have a nasal blockage. Â
One of the things I love about Flamingo is how extremely casual it is. Â Since Miller is a beach community, it's pretty normal to see folks wandering around in their bathing suits. Â So if you're starving after a day of playing in the waves, it's perfectly okay to walk to Flamingo in your suit, sit at one of the outside tables and enjoy the evening breeze while inhaling some stromboli, a popcorn shrimp basket or a pizza. Â I'm sure they have more than that, but this beach bum got hooked on those three tasty items. Â Hooray for the beach and relaxed, tasty meals!
They're alright. It depends on what kind of pizza you like - and this isn't much of my thing. They're better than Miller Pizza, if you ask me, but I'm still not totally into them.
My father and stepmother love them, though... so I guess it really is all about what you like in your pizza.
I find them to be a bit on the greasy side. Their cheese is good, the toppings are okay but the crust is just blah for me. I'd rather go to Pequod's anyday, but this is probably the best bet in the area.
At least I know their pizza is fresh, so there is that. I'd give them an extra half star if I could.
I'd at least reccomend trying them out if you're in the area and you want pizza - you may like their style of pizza more than I do.
