First time going to Flingers, first of all the staff was super friendly our server (sadly dont recall her name) was the nicest and took care of us very well. The food was next level, even though the presentation might be a bit intimidating for some, the Mega Mac is some of the best pizza I've tried. We also got the carnivore, and it was also delicious. Wide selection of beers on-tap. Will definitely come again!

Finally dined in to get the full experience of flingers. We order pizza quite often and have never had an issue, they are definitely our favorite non Detroit style pizza place. The staff was attentive and friendly. Dining in we ordered the Mac and cheese bites, they came out super hot and super delicious. I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings, I wasn’t super impressed, but definitely worth trying. I found them a tad too tangy. My husband ordered the august special Nashville hot cheesebomb - I’m not a big fan of spice but holy crap the flavors complimented each other so well.. and the dipping sauce was perfect to keep the heat at bay.

Flinger Rolls are fantastic on the first night, as well as the two times we reheat them since we always get enough to have leftovers! Soft dough, super cheesy... What else could you ask for.

Time for flinger rolls, round 2! Is this a revisit or a new review? A bit of both since I’ve had Flingers many times but it was in an older building in another part of town. My dad and I talk fondly of Flingers and their famous flinger rolls so we decided to stop talking about it and drop in for a meal. Upon entering, we waited in line until we told the people at the hostess counter that we would like to dine in. The hostess had a bit of a snobby attitude but we got seated quickly and had a friendly waitress come out and greet us. We got waters and looked over the menus despite knowing what we were already going to get. My dad and I both got three flinger rolls with jalapeno, pepperoni, and sausage in it and got some bread sticks as an appetizer. Despite the crazy crowd coming in for the even more crazy lunch deals ($1.95/slice is insane, imo.) the bread sticks came out after about 5-7 minutes. We quickly dug in as we both didn’t eat breakfast and were starving. Shortly after that, the flinger rolls came out and looked delicious. The bread sticks, while good, seemed a bit airy and not as filling as they initially looked. They came with marinara and cheese dipping sauce and were good either sauced up or not. The flinger rolls also had that airy vibe to them. I mentioned to my dad that after 3 bread sticks, I won’t be able to put down the rolls but as I started eating… there seemed to be plenty of room for everything. We requested marinara sauce and spicy ranch as our dipping sauces and boy, did they compliment the rolls really well. As we finished, I mentioned to my dad that I was full but not really at the same time. I don’t think I could’ve ate much more but knew that within an hour or so, that fullness would be replaced with emptiness. It’s a shame that the rolls aren’t as filling as I remember because it did seem like they were light on the toppings and having to pay for the toppings per roll for each roll gets pricey quick. Our bill was around $46 for 6 rolls, a thing of bread sticks, two waters, and an unsweet tea. I was super hyped to have a flinger roll again after so long but maybe the rose-tinted glasses were on today because while the food was super delicious and fresh, it felt like the toppings on the rolls have gotten skimpy and the rudeness of the hostess upon entering dropped it from a 5 to a 4. Still a really good place for pizza, beer, and various other menu items but it definitely lost some of that charm that the old place had.

Flingers Pizza Pub does bold ingredient combinations! I love how creative their menu is! I walk in curious about their rotating menu and it always surprises me! We went last night and our server was very attentive and kind. Something to be aware of is that due to their constantly adding new pizza varieties, their menu might not be updated. For example, we learned last night that they had discontinued our favorite boneless wings sauces. All in all, Flingers is great for a quick bite, needing some comfort food, being adventurous, date night or family night!

I've had a lot of pizza, and this is among the best + very reasonably priced. The Blackjack Mac is unique and delicious. Who puts short ribs on pizza?

Flingers delivers bold flavor and fresh ideas with every visit. The rotating limited-time pizzas keep things exciting, and each one brings something new and delicious to the table. You never know what’s coming next—but it’s always worth trying.

First time here and Waitress was very friendly. Had unsweetened tea to drink. Appetizer had four cheese fried ravioli. Very good pad. A large pizza half taco and the other half sausage and pepperoni. Very good and will be going back
