Some Flippin’ Sweet Pizza

Pizza is ubiquitous. You have had it everywhere, everywhen, everyhow. Throw in any interrogative word you want; I am sure that a pizza has fulfilled that request. Yet there always seems to be more to be done, more to be had. There has never been a perfect pizza. ‘The Flippin Sweet’ tries its best, and it is a solid attempt at creating a pie worthy of adoration.

When I entered the restaurant, I was slightly surprised. It has that hole in the wall feel to it. The one that lets the customer know that this is either going to be a great experience or a terrible one. There is no in-between. Tables were spread somewhat haphazardly around the floor, and on the walls were huge nostalgic signs lined with bulbs shining that old yellow light. Fortunately, the aesthetic came off as charming instead of unsettling. I ended up getting the Mookie, a pizza laden with heaping portions of mushrooms, onions, and a whole lot of protein.

I am not a picky eater. I will try anything that gets put in front of me, and I am one of those people who loves pineapple on pizza. Eating at ‘The Flippin Sweet’ though, I thought I would stay on the beaten path. I am glad that I did, at least this time. The pizza was great!

The pie was densely stacked with Italian sausage and beef, along with the prerequisite sauce. The crust, succumbing to the weight of its contents, folded in on itself instantaneously. Biting into the treasure trove made any unsettled feelings caused by the store’s appearance subside. It was not perfect by any means, but the pizza pie was certainly worth the price. The onions added a much-needed crunch. They diversified the texture of the meal greatly, and with how dense the other ingredients were, it was necessary. The sausage added that little kick that is vital to a great pizza, and the sauce is the canvas that the rest of the puzzle rests on. I would gladly enjoy another pizza from this lovely place again.
