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.
IMHO, all this is caused by someone wanting to boost an unpopular pizza place for whatever their personal reason are, but do so at the expense of another business, Flippers... and it backfired! I've expressed the reasons why I feel this to be the case in a previous post, so I won't reitenerate it here.

On the positive side, Flippers business may have been given a boost because of "all of this" and may also partially explain why they have been as busy as they have. The advertising they've been given here is invaluable!
