Flippin' Pizza — Restaurant in Dana Point

When I saw Flippin’ Pizza claiming to offer New York quality pizza…I didn’t believe it. Pathetic pizza is the average in So. OC, nobody makes a great pie. Of course, before you can accept this truth you have to know real NY pizza made by Italians on the island…otherwise you are clueless. California style pizza is 10% that of an authentic New York pizza. I know, my Italian wife is from The City and we have enjoyed many truly incredible slices there. But locating that quality duplicated here has been comparable to spotting Bigfoot riding a unicorn. I gave Flippin’ a shot but as I watched the pie being built, knew instantly disappointment was in my future.

Ya see, the key to making a truly genuine NY style pizza lies in the ingredients. You must have the right type of tomatoes, cheese, and other toppings and well…Flippin’ just doesn’t. It’s just another California pie made using local ingredients. I hate to say it cuz I liked the kids working here…but claiming to be an east coast style pizza kitchen is blatantly false. This is west coast pie all the way and an average version of it at that. Those unfamiliar with exceptional NY pizza won’t know but for those with educated palates…save yourself the letdown.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! Not only is the pizza absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, perfect crust, and generous toppings—but the customer service is what really sets them apart. The staff are always warm, welcoming, and attentive. They go above and beyond to make sure every order is right and that you leave happy.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that puts just as much care into their service as they do their food, but this shop nails it. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, you can count on great quality, friendly faces, and a genuine effort to make your experience the best it can be.

Highly recommend for anyone who loves great pizza served with even greater...

Ordered online at 6:30 for delivery and the confirmation page said 45 minutes and an hour goes by. I call them and they say another 15-20 minutes but the order is done. Offer to pick it up, I live 5 minutes away, then when I get there the order is not done because they forgot something. They say 7 minutes, 10 minutes go by and say another 4... just left with my incomplete order. So about 1h 20m of waiting for COLD pizzas that takes less than 20 minutes to make. 5 people working, nobody inside, doesnt look busy at all. Where is the communication like after 30 minutes?

Update: Warmed the pizza in my oven - pretty...
