[Carl in Tampa]

My group arrived at Flippers at 5:30PM on Saturday and found the place packed. After waiting for around 40 minutes we were seated and our order taken. The server told us it could take another 25 minutes of so for our food to be prepared because they were so busy. In fact the time elapsed between when we walked in the door and had food on our table was one hour.

Is all of this activity because of the novelty of having a new restaurant or because their pizza is so superior to others? Time will tell. In the mean time, if you go to Flippers be prepared to wait. You might want to consider carry-out or home delivery.

Another reason for not eating in the restaurant is that it is very noisy. It is relatively small and the kitchen is an integral part of the seating area. When orders are ready the cook shouts out to the servers to pick them up. It is difficult to have table conversation without raising your voice.

Members of my party enjoyed the various pizza toppings and the variety of crusts offered.

Flippers is a chain which has several locations around Orlando.
