Flippers Pizzeria

Dine-in, carryout and delivery. Our pizza philosophy remains simple to this day. Fresh, all-natural ingredients combined with time-honored artisan methods make a better pizza. Period. You won’t find artificial colors, flavors or preservatives in anything we serve. Our dedicated pizza chefs take pride in handcrafting fresh dough, daily, using unbleached artisan flour and extra virgin olive oil.
From our fresh-packed, San Joaquin pizza sauce and crushed imported DOP San Marzano tomatoes to our 100% whole milk Wisconsin mozzarella cheese and Belgioioso fresh mozzarella, we obsessively seek out the best ingredients. Our meats are all-natural. Our spices are hand-picked, and our vegetables are hand-chopped, sliced, diced, and roasted in-house.
Baked at 600 degrees in our brick oven, Flippers is pizza perfected.

The website does not allow you to order gluten free pizza. Also, you only have a personal size pizza for gluten free. :(

We love your pizza! We are from Chicago and know good pizza when we taste it. Yours is right up there with Chicago.

Only been there once, but really liked the your pizza the time I had it. The place was very busy.

Basic pizza is fine. However very skimpy with ad on choices.

Good pizza. We love some of the specialty pies.

EnglishJW 11-11-2020 07:49 PM

We know, it is a pizza place. But have you tried the salads? We love all of them - huge, fresh, reasonable and no long waits no matter how many are wating for pizzas.

I did like their salads............but last time I was there, people were feeding their dog at the table. Gross in my book (yes I love dogs, but). Yes management was aware. Not returning. :ohdear:

We have tried the pizza at about a dozen eateries nearby and so far, Flippers is our favorite. It's the closest in taste to the pizza we used to get when we lived on Long Island,.

a1000strz 07-05-2021 11:06 AM

I agree coming from Long Island also..Flippers is the closest pizza to a Long Island Pie...we always order from there..

I'm Popeye! 07-05-2021 01:32 PM

Good Pizza, but the place needs some cleaning up....

dewilson58 07-05-2021 01:53 PM

Flippers: Do you still allow dogs to be fed from the table???
(Brownwood location)
Liked your pizza, this kinda killed it for me.

Babubhat 07-05-2021 02:15 PM

Got one free from doordash. It way okay but not worth paying for

GoneFishing 07-17-2021 08:54 PM

Flippers is our go to pizza place in TV. Every time we’re down we eat there at least once.

MissLaura 02-27-2022 07:16 AM

Can you just get a slice instead of a whole pie?

I don’t think so. Everything is made to order.

We like the Spanish Springs location. Good pizza, it is hard to find pizza that we like in Florida.

Is this pizza, or is it Chicago's interpretation of pizza?

Now I am really confused. Is it NY pizza, or Chicago? Can I fold a slice in half and eat it? -or- Do I need a knife, fork and sometimes a spoon to eat it?

heron848 05-03-2023 09:22 AM

Great pizza when it’s great. Consistency would be nice.

Golfer222 05-03-2023 09:42 AM

Too salty and too expensive

None of the above.

It's Florida pizza. Weird crust, sauce made with San Marzano tomatoes which is trendy, but inferior (because people who don't know any better get suckered into believing that trendy = better - like putting a lime in Corona beer, which is Mexico's version of Pabst Blue Ribbon), their mozz is made in Wisconsin with whole milk instead of part skim, resulting in a greasy, messy, and less tasty affair. Their pizza is made with a cooler temperature than it should be, which means fewer crust bubbles and less charring. A big crust bubble, charred in the middle on the edge of the crust, is one (of many) signs of a properly made NY/New Haven style pizza. The crust isn't thin enough to need folding or cutting. It has the consistency of the cardboard Amazon uses to make its shipping boxes. They claim they use a "brick oven" but don't mention what is firing it. If it ain't wood or charcoal, then it doesn't matter if it's brick, ceramic, or metal. It won't come out right.

Pizza
 
Flipper is Closest I've found to NYC pizza; Chicago pizza; Queens pizza; Jersey.
Not the 'toast' from New Haven which infiltrated parts of upstate NY and L.I.

If you want a slice or 2 go to Bravo and tell them you want soft foldable crust.

I'm 85 , grew up in the city and know real NY pizza.

New York was something back in the 60's.

Yes you can fold it. Chicago has all kinds of pizza. “Chicago” pizza was labeled that way as a marketing tool. I’m from Chicago and don’t know anyone who eats Chicago deep dish pizza. It’s a tourist think I think. Most pizzas are made like everywhere else , thin. But most places do cut it into squares instead of slices.

Do you order thin crust or traditional?

Flippers is not bad. But, have you tried Piesano's in Lake Deaton Plaza? That is my favorite pizza so far. I like the ultra thin crust. My issue with most pizza places is that they use too much cheese and not enough sauce. Also, when they are not consistent with the recipe, I won't come back.

mikeycereal 09-01-2023 07:03 AM

Had a slice there spring 2023. Would go again.

Have always had dogs, many breeds through the years, but have never been able to understand why some dog owners insist on eating with their pets. And I realize many can't understand why anyone would NOT understand wanting to take your pet with you to dinner, so ! ? I did not realize one of the popular breakfast places here encourages dinning with your dog. Went to meet a friend for breakfast, when I saw dogs sitting on the floor eating off plates I admit it bothered me, when I realized some people had their pooches on their laps eating from their table and being hand fed, I just couldn't eat, and I'm sure some people would find that ridiculous, but I just couldn't do it. We did drink our coffee, left most of the food, told the lady at the counter when we paid our bill, did not complain or fail to give waitress a tip, just asked if she knew what was going on. She replied, of course, the owners "encourage" dining with your dog. Nice for those who like it I guess, I've never been back, my husband didn't want to even try it after my experience, and the friend I met and her husband have never gone again, but they obviously are very popular. To each their own as they say !

Crust consistency
 
n to eat it?[/QUOTE]
st
Ive always ordered home delivery by phone and requested "crustier"crust and my request has never been granted but I continue ordering because they are good tasting plus the convenience of home delivery. I would definitely not like being there with dogs as much as I love canines. :doggie:::ohdear:

ThirdOfFive 04-07-2024 06:03 PM

Love Flippers! So far we've only had takeout but every order has been on time, ready to go and hot when we picked it up. I'm no pizza connoisseur but it is as good or better than anything else we've found so far in TV. Add to that the fact that their Spanish Springs restaurant is pretty close to where we live and we've become more-or-less regular customers.

Haven't eaten in the restaurant (or at any of the sidewalk tables) but there's never a lack of customers at them. And yes...I've seen dogs with customers at the sidewalk tables. Not inside. Outside, doesn't bother me.

My idea was for them to "publish" their policy for all to know.

They are hiding. :D:D
