Flippin Pizza

Today on my journey to find pizza that is good enough to be from New York, I went to a pizzeria in Encinitas called "Flippin Pizza".

"Flippin Pizza" is designed, like most California pizzerias, similar to the ones in New York. Its small, doesn't have a whole lot going on in the shop just a few wooden chairs and tables, some pictures on the wall and a glass display next to the cash register showcasing a wide variety of pizzas on different platters. Like most of these places instead of making a new pizza when you order they simply take the pizza that has been sitting on the platter and re-heat it. Thankfully I had gotten there not too long after they made the pizza so it was pretty fresh.

There I had bought a slice of pepperoni pizza and a slice of artichoke heart pizza and paid $6 for these and a small fountain drink. Not too bad of a price but I have been to other places of similar quality that cost less and gave you more pizza. Now the artichoke pizza was pretty good the only thing being that they put the sauce on the top of the cheese and not under it and in one big spot instead of being spread around, though this was a very minor problem. The slice of peperoni pizza I had was really good, a quality true to New York style pizza. They make all the pizzas thin with crispy crust and they seem to pride themselves on only using fresh, natural, high quality ingredients and it certainly shows in the pizza they make. All this being said this is not as good as the great pizza places one can find in New York but it is still a pizza place worth trying out if you have never had it before.

I give "Flippin Pizza" three and a half out of five stars.
