About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem

Flame Pizzeria is an upscale wood-fired pizzeria featuring Neapolitan pizza. The pizzas are baked in a 700 degree stone oven in full view of all guests. Merrill Shindler of "The Daily News" calls Flame "the best pizza in the Valley." The Los Angeles Times says Flame Pizzeria is "the best pizza in Los Angeles" and Eater LA states, "Flame Pizzeria is in the top 20 restaurants in all of The San Fernando Valley."

Great food, delicious craft beers, a master sommelier-chosen wine selection, matched with impeccable service and a warm inviting ambiance is what the award winning chef/owner strives for every evening.

The restaurant was closed with no explanation. We didn’t dine there. Open Table shouldn’t be taking reservations from Flame anymore. They have gone downhill since changing owners and often just close with no notice.

We found that Flame Pizzeria had apparently changed ownership or management since the last time we were there, but the pizzas, service and friendly atmosphere was certainly up to previous standards. I had my favorite Nana pizza with sliced potatoes, which is difficult to get elsewhere, and I enjoyed it wholeheartedly.

Terrible experience - we’ll never go back. No croutons, no wings and we waited over 40 mins for our salad and never got our pizza because when we asked what was taking so long and why the people who were seated after us got their pizza before we got our salad, the owner had a temper tantrum and refused to make our pizza. He literally told my husband he didn’t care about our food or business. Great way to ruin what was once a really good restaurant.

This place has gone downhill - their pizza is great but they take forever to make it! We had a reservation at 7pm, and by 8:45 we still hadn't received our pizza! Absurd. We will never come here again.

We had a reservation for a Party of 5 at 6:45, unfortunately two people were a little late and arrived at 7. We tried to order appetizers and 5 out of the 7 appetizers were sold out, mind you this place opens at 5 and it was a Friday Night one would think they would plan accordingly. We luckily ordered two Ceasar Salads, which arrived within 15 minutes, the first of the 4 Pizzas arrived at 8:15. The other three Pizzas came in 10 minute intervals with the last one arriving after 8:45. We also tried to order a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and it was sold out and we had to settle on a Chianti. Service was very slow. Maybe understaffed because we had to go to the bar numerous time to order our beverages. Overall a very disappointing experience for a restaurant that used to be amazing.

I had super high hopes from reading online reviews. But, it wasn’t quite stellar. The service was pretty rough. Super nice but they forgot to take our order and then food took forever and my friend and my food came out five minutes apart. Perhaps most disappointing was the Caesar. It’s advertised with house made croutons, but these were straight from a bag. The pizza crust was perfect. The pizza was okay. If I’m paying $2 for onions, put more than 3 pieces on. Great fennel sausage though.
