It’s going to be quite the party, as we’ve got plenty to celebrate! Along with serving delicious pies for 5 years, the anniversary marks 5 years of throwing dough back to the San Diego community. Since 2007, Flippin’ Pizza has donated $293,000 in food and cash donations to regional schools, educational and recreational programs, sports teams, and various foundations, such as the Tony Hawk Foundation.

The grand opening event is on Saturday, May 5th at Flippin’ Pizza 4S Ranch, located at 16615 Dove Canyon Road, San Diego, 92127. A free slice for those who attend will be available from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.

The Gluten-Free diet has been getting a lot of exposure in recent years, and while the buzz has led to gluten-free options popping up across grocery store shelves and restaurant menus, it can still be challenging to find your favorite foods when you have to be wary of wheat. Not many people understand the ins and outs of going gluten-free like Heidi Kelly, author of “Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom.”  Heidi struggled with health issues for years until finally pinpointing gluten as the culprit. Shortly after her discovery, her five-year old son was also diagnosed with Celiac disease, so she took it upon herself to become a true Gluten-free expert.

“Being told I had to go on a gluten-free diet was one of the greatest gifts of my life – I didn’t even realize I was sick until it was gone from my diet!”
Heidi Kelly - Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom

Flippin’ Pizza is proud to be making it easier than ever for gluten abstainers like Heidi to enjoy their favorite pizzas, with our gluten-free crust! That’s right, we’ve flipped the stereotypes of pizza on their head once again, to offer a positively palatable gluten-free pizza! Each pie will be made-to-order and totally gluten-free, that’s flippin’ good.
