Flippers Pizzeria

Flippers Pizzeria is a great choice for when you want a quality pizza made with quality ingredients. Their Neapolitan thin crust is not too thin, but holds the toppings well enough and still provides that thin crust crunch to it. We are big fans of the salsiccia rustica and the «big pie». Their pasta is a definite miss here and their sandwiches often times could use more filling in them. The wait staff here is hit or miss. Sometimes it’s outstanding service, and at other times, we have left confused as to how that person got a job serving. Our last visit to Flippers we had an outstanding server named Jamie. She was great! Overall, the quality of the food here is good. Their breadsticks and marinara sauce are really great and I highly recommend them!

Mix feelings about this place probably a second visit would help me judge it better. Let me explain a family member raved to me about this place and brought me here. Heres what was good.
Pros:
The service attentive staff can i say free breadsticks with sauce for seating on near the glass or outside. There breadsticks are the bomb!!! A must try.
Nice environment alot sports on tvs here stone baked pizza.
Cons:
This comes with caveat that this was a specialty Phillycheese steak pizza and person i was with wanted parmsean garlic butter on the crust which made the pizza mad greasy im talking about super greasy fried chicken greasy but normally not on there so take thst with a grain of salt. Also the flavor was not on point unfortunately i had phillycheese steak pizzas before i had better not bad but kinda ordinary really couldn’t taste the steak and it didn’t really taste like phillycheese steak.
Overall left with mix feelings it was brought my attention this not there best offering so I’ll have try them again also i couldn’t put my finger on what turn me off but i have feeling the grease aka parmesean garlic butter of pizza was probably had do with plus it just wasn’t among some best. There is much better pizza in tampa but for the price and the breadsticks its definitely a try. Just so were clear its slightly above average to average pizza. Ill be back try a different hold the parmsean garlic butter grease and hope i will come away with better experience.

Not impressed. There are so many better pizza places close to this location.
Ordered the thin crust, and the pizza slice was droopy, couldn’t even hold is the slice, had to eat it with a fork and knife. Not my thing, I like eating pizza in my hand.
The service was slow. Our food was out in 11 minutes, but it took a long time for table greet, long time for drinks, long time for check, long time to get card back.
We won’t be returning.

Thank you for hosting our schools recent football team celebration. The staff and food were fantastic. They accommodated our party of 42 very easily. There was plenty of food for us all and the price per person was very reasonable. A good time was had by all. A sincere thank you from the families of Northdale Lutheran Church and School.

1 hour for delivery
3 pizzas and Caesar salad = $ 80 plus a tip, so $ 95
Tasted like pizza, and I was shell shocked that I paid $ 100 for some pizza and salad. Also, I ordered 2 ‘all meat’ and 1 pepperoni, but got 2 all meat and 1 plain cheese, so the order wasn’t even correct.
Nothing against them, but it seems really over priced and I won’t be ordering from them again.

Good pizza. Horrible service. Manager was nice after my husband and I complained but the restaurant doesn’t seem to be in order at all and the servers do whatever they want. We didn’t get acknowledged for 15 minutes and we were just standing there in the middle of the restaurant. Servers walked past us over and over again and NEVER got helped and when we finally did, one of the servers said they would clean a table for us, table never got cleaned and other people got seated in the table we had been waiting for! Traveled 35 minutes to get ignored. Will never ever return! Manager did end up giving us our food for free but that wasn’t the point. we would rather pay and get treated well and acknowledged

Order from Flippers at least 3 – 4 times per month and the take out is ready in 15 – 20 minutes usually. The pizza is very good, they use fresh ingredients on their pies and there is something about the sauce that makes it very different then any other pizza places. Usually get traditional large with mushrooms, but have also got it with pineapple, black olives and pepperoni. I liked it best with mushrooms as just the topping. I prefer my pepperoni on top, but they put it under the cheese. Their cheese is so good, real yummy cheese!
I would also recommend dinning in, they have superb customer service and great beer selection on tap. Other than the pizza, I have also had both the toss garden and antipasto salad with house Italian dressing. I am particular about dressings and this one is so good, it is filled with good flavors and seasonings.
If you are looking for a great yummy pizza that is not your run of a mill place, I would highly recommend Flippers!

So disappointed. .after reading article in paper about Flippers, decided to give them another go.
Pizza was delivered 90 minutes after placed; was cold and seemed like it had been sitting around for a long time.
Ordered a salad and paid for a salad; driver checked car for salad… no salad!
Maybe they should stop offering delivery…
Won’t be ordering from Flippers again.

This place deserves 3 ½stars… I know that seems an odd number but I say that because even though I thought the pizza was great I wasn’t a fan of the breadsticks or the inside crowd. The place is very open so the noise level is really high. To much of an echo and it’s a place built for groups, while we were there picking up out food they had a large group of kids from the Y and the noise level was super loud, because of this we took ours to go.
We ordered the Deluxe pizza with sausage, pepperoni, green pepper, onion, and instead of mushrooms extra cheese. We got the original crust and I liked the crust. Had a great flavor and wasn’t to thick or to thin. The toppings were fresh and cut into large chunks which I like. We also got an order of breadsticks which I wasn’t crazy about. When we opened the box the first thing you see is GREASE! Lol, and tons of it. I drained my breadsticks on paper towels but they were still so wet it made them taste doughy and even a little mushy.
Despite the breadsticks and not wanting to eat there at the restaurant I would still order another pizza.

We shared an excellent tossed salad and My Pie pepperoni pizza. Good quality pizza for former New Yorkers.

Great experience at Flippers! Ryan was an awesome server! I loved that they provide a small ball of dough for your child to play with! Food was excellent! Everything was on point!

The food is good when there’s not a problem, but there is usually a problem. Even when you order online, they still manage to get your order wrong. Tonight was the worst. Our pizza arrived all in one corner of the box, we called to complain, they asked us if we wanted a new one tonight. We said yes. That was an hour ago, they still haven’t arrived with it. This will be the last chance. The «suck» level is just too darn high.

This is my second time here. I had to come back. The first time I came in just to get a drink while waiting to transfer busses. They give free drinks if you dine in, so they gave me a drink for free! I just had to come in again when I had more time and try the pizza.
The staff is very nice. They let you know right away that your meal will take 10 to 15 minutes to cook because it’s made fresh.
Pizza was fresh and very hot. Pepperoni was tasty and the mushrooms were fresh. The pizza had just the right amount of grease dripping down my arm to remind me of the pizza I used to get in NY. This is a good thing.

So we we’re supposed to go to Red Elephant for dinner, but we realized they were shut down. Found Flippers down the road. We had gone to the one in I Orlando a couple year ago. Let me tell you it’s still as amazing as remember. Being cooked on the stone oven makes it amazing. We ordered three different pizzas and the meat one had huge pieces on it. The white pizza was just as good with spinach and tomatoes. We asked for the original crust and it was thin but not too thin and so crispy. Great place, great service

First time here a few weeks ago, even though we live pretty close by. We went in for lunch.
Location: in the shopping center on the north east side of the intersection of Fletcher and Dale Mabry. It is situated to the left of Fresh Market as the corner store.
Parking: shared across the other stores. Should be no problem finding one within the parking lot.
Service: Was attentive. There was one screw up which I’ll talk about later. Plenty of check backs with us on the food and our drinks.
Food: We ordered the Italian Tomato Flat appetizer. it comes with Artisan multigrain flatbread, roma tomatoes, olive oil, mozzarella, asiago, and basil. Served with San Marzano tomato sauce. My wife and I fought over the last piece.
My wife ordered the personal size margherita pizza and I ordered the medium size Cheese thin size. Just about the time we expected the pizza to show up, the waitress came by and said that the order was miscommunicated on mine and they had made mine as a personal size cheese. I said no problem that would be fine. They brought both personal size pizzas out, we ate, and they then brought out a medium size cheese pizza to take home at no cost. What a great catch. The pizzas were delicious.
Returning: sure. we enjoyed.

I’ve been to a Flippers in Orlando for lunch once before and wasn’t too impressed. This time around I shared a salad and entire pie with my fiancée. The experience and food was a lot better.
Our server was very friendly and checked up on us often, even though we were the only customers in the restaurant on a Sunday noon lunch, I’m sure she would have provided the same amount of attention.
Our Italian BLT salad was delicious. The gorgonzola cheese really enhanced the salad with umami flavors. I like how the ranch dressing was mixed in with the salad and not just poured over.
As for our pizza we ordered «The Big Pie» which is basically their supreme with a variety of meats and veggies. Best part of the pie was the sauce. I love saucy pizzas and our pie had a lot of sauce. The sauce had a nice sweet flavor that you would get from fresh roasted tomatoes.
Flippers is a very nice central Florida pizza chain.

After driving by this joint many numerous times, this is my very first time at a Flippers location! What deterred me from trying this place out among those other times was my central floridian fiancé saying it was not up to par. Eh, guess he was wrong! I loveee it and can’t wait to eat there again (or order it to go)!
We came for lunch, and our waitress was awesome. She had a very happy mood and good work ethic that made our time in the restaurant very satisfying. The ambiance of the place is very refreshing that it doesn’t remind you of eating at chuckie cheese.
We started off with the Italian BLT and ended with their 16″ Big Pie. One may think the Italian BLT would have their housemade Italian dressing, but instead they use ranch. The Italian part comes from the Prosciutto crisps & gorgonzola used on the salad. Overall the salad was great and it was not drenched to the brim in dressing. You can request to have the dressing on the side, or if you need more dressing they will bring more for you. Flavor-​wise it reminded me of a california cobb salad.
The Big Pie contains: pepperoni, sweet Italian sausage, ham, ground beef, smoked bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, red onions & black olives. Also, you could substitute and item (for free, if its comparable) if you do not like it. It takes awhile before the pizza comes out though, but it was a good wait as we had salad to munch on before the deliciousness appeared.
Normally, I am not a thin crust fan. From past experiences, I have hated thin crust pizza. Reason was because I love sauce, and thin pizza and lots of sauce is a rare find (or maybe I am just unlucky). Also, I hate the greasiness a majority of pizzas have. However, flippers seals the deal. We got the traditional style pizza. It was thin. There was lots of sauce (made with all-​natural fresh-​packed tomatoes, fresh basil and chopped garlic). And it was not an all out grease war… AND we got leftovers! Happy dance indeed.
Would I recommend this specialty pizza? Yes I would. Our waitress noted that it will be cheaper if you choose one of the specialty pizzas and substitute something rather than make your own pizza as it would be more expensive.
Also know that they have happy hour specials, and daily specials!
Until then, I shall await the next time I eat here :).

Met with some of our friends for Saturday night dinner — everyone was craving pizza so I turned to Unilocal for suggestions on delicious pie in Carrollwood (my Unilocal friends have not steered me wrong yet — thank you). Flippers is located in a strip mall off of N Dale Mabry with ample parking. Walked in and the friendly hostess sat all of us immediately with no wait. First item of the night — Breadsticks (6 sticks) — they did not disappoint (drools). Fresh dough baked with garlic butter and topped with Romano cheese. They were delicious. We ordered a large traditional crust and a Neapolitan thin — I personally liked the traditional crust better. The thin crust got soggy way too quickly. All their pizzas are made with 100% whole milk mozzarella and the sauce is fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic — it had a slight sweet taste and fresh dough baked in a brick oven. Yum! Flippers offers more than just pizza. They have a variety of appetizers, flatbreads (served on artisan multigrain), salads, sandwiches, penne pastas, and calzones. Check out their website for more information and hours of operation

We will be back but will stick to traditional crust. Fun evening with good food and friends :)

It would seem that Flippers began in Orlando, but I never visited one while I lived there. We had heard good things about this place and were pleased to find they offer their lunch specials on the weekends as well. Flippers has some unusual pizza options and as a lover of some of the out-​there veggies like artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers, I was thrilled. We went with two MyPie size specialty pizzas but were starving so ordered the Mozz Caprese salad as well. The mozz was nothing amazing but was creamy and nicely cold. The tomatoes and arugula were perfect but the real star was the high quality balsamic drizzled around the plate along with a decent quality olive oil.
The salad kept us from trying to eat the table and the 15 – 20 minutes for our pizza passed quickly (props to our server for mentioning that they were slammed and pizzas were taking a little longer than usual). We went with the Flippers Big Pie (just about every meat you could want plus red onions, black olives, mushrooms and green peppers) and were happy they were able to sub roasted red peppers for the standard green ones. We also ordered the California Classic (artichoke hearts, roasted grape tomatoes, red onions, spinach and roasted red peppers) but asked for red sauce rather than the basil pesto sauce. Both pizzas were piping hot and covered in toppings. My favorite part of the Big Pie was that somehow they managed to get the pepperonis up on their sides so they got nice and crispy in the oven. The California Classic was fabulous and the veggies tasted super fresh. My husband is not a fan of crusts but part way through his first slice, he decided I wasn’t getting any extra crusts that day. He ate every bite himself and we were both really impressed with how good the crust tasted.
Our dining experience was good — the restaurant was clean and comfortable, with a really great music mix playing I was digging. The service was very good — our drinks always kept full and our server was there when we needed him. The only thing I would change was the number of slices on the My Pie size. The pizzas come sliced into 4 slices, but I think I would prefer 6 slices when sharing like we were. The 4-​slice method resulted in some monster slices. Overall — GREAT experience and really outstanding pizza. We will absolutely be back!

One of my favorite pizzeria chains from the Orlando area has finally moved west to the Tampa bay region. Flippers Pizzeria has a location on 4^th Street in St. Petersburg, and now this newest location on North Dale Mabry in Carrollwood.
You’ll find Flippers in the Fresh Market /​Bed Bath shopping center at the corner of Fletcher and Dale Mabry. This space was previously occupied by a Chase banking center, but there are no leftover stashes of cash hidden in the restaurant — I already checked.
Flippers prides themselves on appetizers, flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, penne pasta dishes; and especially their fresh-​made pizzas and calzones which are baked in a 600 degree brick oven. You can order a traditional-​style pizza made with 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese & their pizza sauce made with all-​natural fresh-​packed San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil and chopped garlic. Your other pizza option is a Neapolitan Thin which is a lighter version of the traditional-​style pie.
Pizzas can be ordered as a 10″ (MyPie), 12″, 14″ or 16″ size. The variety of toppings is huge, and you can choose to build-​your-​own pizza from their extensive listing of toppings, or you can select one of their pre-​designed specialty pizzas. The pizzas are all made fresh, so plan on about 20 minutes before the pizza is delivered to your table.
I ordered a 12″ Flippers Big Pie which was made with pepperoni, sweet Italian sausage, ham, ground beef, smoked bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, red onions & black olives. Since I planned on taking at least half of the pizza home for leftovers, I also added a traditional tossed salad which was made with shredded Romaine lettuce, Roma tomatoes, red onions, carrots and croutons, and was served with Italian dressing.
The salad was very fresh and something nice to nibble on while waiting for the pizza to arrive. The pizza was delicious and over-​stuffed with all of those great toppings. Somehow the leftover pizza ended up being donated to the nurses working third shift in the Emergency Department at Tampa General, so I can’t comment on the taste of the re-​heated pizza but at least I know it went to a good cause.
In an area of town filled with numerous pizza restaurants, Flippers will have some challenges separating themselves from the rest of the pack. They have a good history in Central Florida, but are relatively unknown on this side of the state. Their pizzas are very good, and I like the craft beer options on tap to go with your food.
