I was in the mood for pizza and wings this week, so I figured I'd give Flancer's a try. I love supporting local eateries, so I held out hope that they would deliver on the goods. Let's just say that I've had way better.
I'll start with the wings. They were just OK. The flavor was decent, but they were not very saucy. One was a bit undercooked, which is basically an instant turn-off. I'm just glad it was the last wing in the order. One bright spot is that they at least give you carrot and celery sticks with some good ranch dressing as part of the order (vs. charging for them as some places do).
As for the pizza, they get an 'A' for the crust, but a 'D' on the sauce. Their crust is thin and done just the way I like it (NY style). The sauce, however, was just boring. Too much salt and too much garlic and not enough tomatoes. I kept checking to see if there was actually sauce on the pizza. The sausage on the pizza was fairly blah, too. My 8 year-old daughter summed it up by saying that she thought a frozen pizza would have tasted better. Gotta love kids. I felt the pizza crust was good enough that I may be willing to try a non-red sauce pie next time to see if fares better.
I was generally bummed because my craving for good pizza and wings was not satisfied. I see people raving about the sandwiches and the salads, so maybe that is the path I need to go down if I ever go back.
