#13 - Fiamme (Naperville)

Woodfire with Flair
We ventured to Fiamme near downtown Naperville for our 13th stop.  We had a good group with us too!  Thanks to the Svejda's and the Blakeman's for joining us.  We had a blast!

Location
Fiamme is located on the corner of Washingon and Franklin.  The parking lot is not very big so either arrive early or go around the corner and park in the garage on Benton (stoplight after Fiamme if you head south on Washington from Ogden).  We called when they opened and made reservations for the 9 of us at 5 pm.  That was a perfect time as once it got closer to 6:30 pm, it started to get busy.

They also have a patio that is shaded in the afternoons and looks to be a nice place to sit if it would have been a little warmer outside.

Food

We ordered bread right away and they gave us olive oil and a spicier olive oil to dip it in.  We found out that the bread was complimentary so that was a score!  We had a good variety of food as well.  Andrea ordered the wedge salad which was with romaine lettuce instead of iceberg.

We had many options for pizza and among all of us opted for the margharita, montanara, salsiccia, fiamme, and roasted vegetable.

Each pizza had their own distinct taste and the sauce was not too overwhelming.  My first favorite was the margharita and my second was the montanara which had lightly flash fried dough.  There were minimal left overs when we were all done eating.


Total People: 2 (on our bill)
Total Bill: $ 31.83 (2 pizzas - he didn't charge us for our sodas)


Recommendation: Yes
If you are going to be in the area and want a quick pizza, Fiamme is the way to go.  The woodfire makes it cook much faster and since the pizzas are all 12" you could easily pop in for a quick lunch if you needed to.  Don't get me wrong, the food is delicious, but sometimes when you have had 1 woodfire, you have basically had them all.  To hear from the pizza connoisseur himself, you know what to do:
