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.
Great pizza, appetizer sampler, let's you pick 4 appetizers, which were very good. Cold draft beer, perfect for date because it's 21 and over. Great service beer mugs never stayed empty, very friendly staff.

Absolutely LOVE this place!!! Food is great, service is amazing, atmosphere fun!!! Vickie is sweet too!!! Drinks are reasonably priced and good pours!!!
Let me start by saying that I was born in Gary and have lived in the area my entire life(close to 60 years) I had heard of Flamingo Pizza but had never tried it before tonight. All I can say is...WOW!!! We have really been missing out. When we 1st entered the building it was a little loud and smokey and we were not sure if we were to seat ourselves. We almost walked out. The staff must have seen the confusion on our faces because not one but 2 people came to help us out. We were seated right away. Where we were seated was away from the bar area so it was quieter and not smokey at all. Service was above and beyond. We ordered wings and pizza. They were out of pepperoni but no worries. We opted for bacon instead and it was so flavorful. The wings were crisp and meaty. I can't believe it took me so long. We will definitely be back!!! Can't wait!?

The pizza wasn't the best but the wings were great, the atmosphere was nice and relaxing and the restaurant appears to be very clean. I'll be back to try something else
The bird should update to become more family friendly. Can only accommodate by carry out if wanting to dine there with one picnic table outside. Very disappointing for out of town visitors.
