| - Just pizza and wings, with a passion.
Twisted pies is not your average pizza place. It is completely family run and operated. The owner is in the kitchen and his wife is at the register, running food and cleaning tables. The dining room is small, the selection of drinks is limited (a 6 spot soda fountain) and a glass warmer case for pizza by the slice (not currently offered) sits between the register and the cooler for bottled drinks. This is not the place to go for atmosphere and hanging out with friends. The menu is essentially limited to pizza and wings. There is a nice selection of traditional and original pizzas plus build your own. Wings are kept simple, flats and drums or boneless, with you choice of six sauces.
We ordered a 14" half taco, half crispy pig pizza and a dozen honey hot wings. The wings arrived at the table in reasonable amount of time giving us something to munch on while we waited for the pizza. There were 3 of us sharing the order and requesting a third side of ranch was not an issue. The wings were nicely sauced and had a bit of caramelization on one side, because they are fried and then finished in the oven. This gives the wings perfect crispness and they are not greasy. The honey hot sauce complimented the taste of the chicken without covering it up. There was enough sauce to coat each wing without drowning them.
The pizza arrived just we finished the last wing. The first thing I noticed was the size. If this was a 14" pizza, they were measuring the area covered by toppings not the overall size. Rich, the owner, brought it to us himself and apologized because he had left it in too long (which means he cooks in an oven not on a conveyor belt) and the crust was a little over done. It was a little dark at the edge but not burnt so we decided to try it before requesting it to be remade. This was a very good choice. The crust had a nice chew and the bottom was crispy. The amount of toppings was generous without overloading the pie.
The taco pizza is what it sounds like, a layer of refried beans and cheese topped with lettuce, tomato and taco sauce. it is an excellent presentation of this type of pizza. The crispy pig is a different story. It starts life as a garlic, mozzarella, and ricotta pizza. Then lettuce tomato and bacon are added on top. Yes, they put a BLT on a pizza. I highly recommend this pie.
It is had to find truly hand crafted pizza. This is not hand made, but hand crafted by a man passionate about his pies. The dough is mixed, kneaded and raised over 24 hours. Sauces and toppings are prepared fresh. Crusts are hand tossed to order. Stop by and give them a try.
Warm Fuzzies (the good stuff)
-Traditional pizza done right by people that care.
-Fresh ingredients.
-Totally operated and run by family.
-Unique cooking method for wings that works.
-Plenty of napkins right on the table (you wont need as many as you think).
Cold Baldies (the not so good stuff)
-Dining room is sparse and cluttered on the edges (remember they focus on the food and carryout).
-Hard to find (it's tucked in the back of a strip mall).
