(Press Release) Orlando, FL, May 17, 2012- Pizza franchise Flippers Pizzeria announces plans for a new location in The Villages of Central Florida.

Flippers Pizzeria will soon be opening its twelfth location in Central Florida at The Villages, which is located approximately 55 miles from Orlando, Florida.

The brand new pizza franchise is currently under construction in Spanish Springs Town Square at the site of the former Pauly’s Pizzeria. Owners/Founding Members Sean and Carolyn Pankalla are expanding the restaurant to accommodate 81 guests, with a new outdoor seating area for 30. Construction is currently underway.

Both Sean and Carolyn have said that they have had their eyes on the Orlando, Florida-based pizzeria brand for years, and they recently saw a need for such a high-quality product offering at The Villages.

“We’re very excited about serving the residents of The Villages,” said Sean Pankalla. “The new location will feature the finest brick-oven baked pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, salads and more, all made from the freshest ingredients around and paired with the very best customer service—we know that the residents of The Villages will be thrilled about the opening.”

For more than 25 years, Flippers Pizzeria has focused on quality ingredients and unparalleled customer service, which are some of the many reasons that the brand was so desirable to the Pankallas.

“When you eat at Flippers Pizzeria, you can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients and the quality in the preparation of every single menu item,” said Carolyn Pankalla.

Everything from the farm-ripened, fresh-packed California tomatoes to the very best Wisconsin cheeses and Chicago meats have all been carefully selected by Flippers Pizzeria founders. Ingredients are hand-chopped every morning, and pizza crusts are hand-tossed using the finest unbromated flours and wheat Semolina.

“The best thing that I can say about our products is that they are 100 percent fresh,” Sean Pankalla said. “We ensure quality and consistency by utilizing the finest and freshest ingredients money can buy… our pizza is simply the best!”

The Flippers Pizzeria corporate team is happy to have Sean and Carolyn on board. “Sean and Carolyn Pankalla both have an excellent understanding of our company culture and our experience in the industry,” said a Flippers Pizzeria representative. “We are honored to have them as part of our growing pizza franchise family.”

Flippers Pizzeria has been operating in Central Florida since 1987 and began offering pizza franchise opportunities in late 2010. The company is highly involved in the communities served by its restaurants.
