OUR STORY
A PIZZA HISTORY
IN JUNE 1989, FLIPPERS PIZZERIA HAD JUST OPENED ITS SECOND LOCATION IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. WE WERE YOUNG, EAGER, OBSESSED WITH PIZZA, AND EXCITED TO SEE THE NEW INDIANA JONES MOVIES AT THE THE REPUBLIC MOVIE THEATER NEXT DOOR.
WHILE, OF COURSE, SOME THINGS HAVE CHANGED, ONE THING REMAINS A CONSTANT—EVERY CUSTOMER THAT COMES THROUGH OUR DOORS IS SPECIAL TO US. BUT, THAT SUMMER IN ‘89, ONE CUSTOMER TOOK A SPECIAL CHANCE ON US.
THE EXECUTIVE CHEF AT A NEARBY MARRIOTT HOTEL HAD BECOME A FLIPPERS REGULAR, OR A “FLIPPERS FAN”, AT OUR NEW SPOT. DURING ONE PARTICULAR VISIT, HE STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION WITH THE FUTURE FLIPPERS OWNER CONCERNING HIS HOTEL’S NEED FOR WHOLESALE DOUGH. NOW, THAT WASN’T SOMETHING ON OUR ROSTER, BUT THE ROSTER WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE.
WITH OUR NOSE TO THE PIZZA STONE, WE SET OUT TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM FOR MASS PRODUCING, DISTRIBUTING, AND PERFECTING A PAR-BAKED, ALL-NATURAL, PIZZA PRODUCT.
LONG STORY SHORT, MARRIOTT BECOME OUR FIRST WHOLESALE CUSTOMER AND, NEARLY FOUR DECADES LATER, THEY CONTINUE TO TRUST US AS A VALUED PARTNER.
WE’RE PROUD OF OUR FLIPPERS PIZZERIA ORIGINS AND OUR NATIONAL GROWTH WITHIN OUR WHOLESALE DIVISION, FPP. SURE, WE’RE A LITTLE LESS YOUNG, BUT WE’RE STILL EAGER, OBSESSED WITH PIZZA, AND PRETTY EXCITED TO REWATCH INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
