If there’s a restaurant that seems to get both bigger and better every time I turn around it’s Flour Girl & Flame. What was once a carry-out only pizzeria now has seating in the form of Everyone’s Table, a dining room and event space located right next door to the pizza shop at 8125 W. National Ave.
The space is warm, welcoming and full of good vibes. That’s much like Flour Girl’s seasonal wood-fired pizza, which is made with heirloom flour, hand-stretched to order and topped with local ingredients from women growers, LGBTQ+ producers and farmers of color.
I’ve never met a pizza of theirs I didn’t like; but my favorite is the Pep in Yer Step (add their giardiniera). That’s second only to their fantastically indulgent Detroit style pizza (currently available on Wednesdays only), which comes complete with a well-carbonized crust, plenty of cheese and racing stripes of flavorful tomato sauce painted on top.
Be sure to try their hot honey buffalo wings as well. They are tender, just spicy enough and chock full of flavor.
Recommended: Pep in Yer Step (add housemade giardiniera) or anything with wood-roasted mushrooms; Detroit style pizza; ice cream (local flavors available when you dine in)

Note: During the winter months (Nov. through April), Flour Girl operates at their brick and mortar location; but during the summer (May through Oct.), they are off and running to new places each week with their mobile pizza trailer (watch their social for locations).
