Join our e-club for a great deal for National Pizza Month!

Flippers eClub - Flippers Pizzeria

Judging by some of the culinary posts on this board, every day is National Pizza Day, and if not from NY. it's cr4p!

NY style pizza is the best

we make our own pizza...wife is from Italy

that will sure help

New Haven style is best. New York style is an excellent alternative if you're not in New Haven. Boston style is pretty awesome too, so is New Jersey (which is actually New York style). Chicago style is terrific if you like the baked deep dish vibe, though IMO it takes a very close second to Sicilian pizza.

Florida style pizza is - cardboard with a delicate brushing of over-peppered tomato-flavored corn syrup with poorly-distributed shredded natural and artificial processed cheese food. I'm sure it's great if you're into that.

Everything else is flatbread. My position is unassailable, moderator you can now lock the thread.

At least you didn't mention cauliflower crust.. lol

I like Pizza Hut!!:shrug:

Thanks. I just did. I will give it a try and post on my YouTube channel

So sad

Opinions are like _________

So, this started out as an ad from Flipper’s Pizzaria. Anyone tried it? How is it?

Sounds fishy! (“Flipper” was the first television program I saw in color, back around Thanksgiving 1964.)

We ate at the one in Spanish Springs and thought it was a pretty good pizza.

Most people who know more about Chicago than what the bombastic media reports realize that true Chicago style pizza is thin crust, or tavern style. The deep dish is ok for a change every now and then, and it is indeed good, but it seems to be a favorite among tourists and newly arrived “Big 10 Transplants”.

Piesano is OK, but overall, pizza around here is forgettable, and that includes NYPD Bravo, Red Sauce, Giovanni, Francesco, etc. Even Great Chicago Fire Brewery in Leesburg seems to have slipped....way too much cheese. YMMV.

We were disappointed with the pizza at Chicago Fire. Being from northern Illinois I was hoping for pizzeria style thin crust. They make it in an oversized toaster oven. Meh...

Btw, the best pizza we’ve had in FL has been from Guido’s in Brooksville, and Paul’s in St. Pete and Clearwater. Both perfected their craft in.....Chicago.

Both are long drives. Anyone got any secret thin crust gems to share?!

Flippers is pretty good
 

We like Flippers, for that style pizza. There is NO "one size fits all" when talking about food - or anything else for that matter. You gotta try it yourself.

Flippers pizza is good. Especially the thin crust with anchovies.

Being a Brooklyn gal, there's nothing like pizza from 18th Ave and 86st street in Bensonhurst. Also Spumoni Gardens. I have tried the pizza and calzone at Bravo Pizzeria in LSL and it was pretty darn good. I have even eaten pizza in Italy , and very different from what I'm used to.

There's a place on West End Ave near 58th street in Manhattan that I really loved. I usually parked my car at the lot behind ABC studios and walk toward the Met, then take a right, and the pizzeria was a block or two away from that corner. Excellent slices, always crispy, thin, with the burnt bubbles on the crust, cheese oozed and the oil dripped down your wrist. Just like it's SUPPOSED to do!

Pizza Hut is great!:)

I would agree if I was walking down the street and it started pouring and had no umbrella. Would be a great place to stand out of the rain.

Pizza not so much.

I like Dennys as well.:ohdear:

Always wonder how Dennys even survives especially after looking at their buffet

Buffet?
Never seen a buffet at TV Dennys!

Further north

I think we can say crap! LOL

You only think you know pizza until you spend time in Italia, specifically the Napoli, Amalfi Coast area.

Start with double zero Italian flour. Roll the dough out to a thin crust. spread a little EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) over the dough then a pinch of sea salt. Ladle a thin layer of fresh tomato sauce made from ripe San Marzano tomatoes. Add a few slices of fresh made Mozzarella and bake in a 700 degree wood fired pizza oven. Then top with fresh Prosciutto and Basil. Mangia!!
The closest I've come in the US to this culinary marvel is Eataly in Chicago which employs professional pizza makers from Italy. But Flippers does a pretty good job.

In my not expert opinion, pizza was invented in Italy but perfected in the US.

We think pasta is much better in Italy but pizza not so much. They do not put enough cheese to suit our taste.

That's the way it's supposed to be. Like pasta dishes, you on't want one item to drown out the rest. Cheese in Italy is a highlight. Here, it's a main ingredient, sort of like "you want pizza crust with your cheese?"

Here you, but our taste is our taste and we like ny style pizza the best.

Get 10 people in a room to say what they think is the best pizza and you will get at least 11 opinions.

I should have added "Not that there's anything wrong with that". :D

Once upon a time our son who was 13 at the time said the pizza we were having at pizza hut in Va was the best.

Told him it was at best 5th rate.

Made up with him next time we went to NYC pick any neighborhood pizza place and we will go in and have a slice and he will see the difference.

He picked the place took a bite gave me a big smile and said how right you are.

Does not get any better than that!
