At first glance (or even a stare), Fleur De Lis seems to be a vacant old dump. The bright pink building really grabs your attention, and for those who know all about this place, its what’s cooking on the inside that reels you in.

Today I was in the pizza mood, and what better place than EatRouge's Best Pizza Restaurant for 2009: Fleur De Lis. I decided to split the large sausage, hamburger, and pepperoni pizza with my girlfriend.

The pizza is square and features a thin crust that isn't really crispy but more like hand tossed. It has a rich flavor that taste great, but is thin and modest enough to bring out the flavors from the toppings.

The toppings on the pizza where excellent.  The meat was fresh like it was grounded and cooked to order. The sauce has a great taste to it also. It’s not too sweet, and blends well with the rest of the pizza. Altogether, the food was terrific and these guys know how to make a great pizza. I want more!!!!!

Service
The service was great. It didn't take long at all and the waitress did a great job checking on us and was very nice.

One thing to note is that Fleur De Lis does not accept credit cards or checks. Bring your cash or you'll end up having to wash dishes to pay for that pizza (What's cash? I haven’t used that stuff in years).

Atmosphere
I'm sure at one time this was a nice place, but all that was thrown out of the window years ago. If Fleur De Lis didn't make such a great pizza, nobody would step foot in this place. I know it has character, but I kind of felt like I needed a Tetanus shot after leaving this place. Definitely a no frills zone. It's all about the pizza.
