Swing In Pizza

This is not a place I get pizza from often. But it's good every 3-4 months or so. Unique recipe, very old-style thin crust type. Not quite Arni's/Pizza King style...the closest analogue in town I can think of is MCPC. Worth having at least once if you're not originally from town. And if you are from town, you've probably had it at least a couple of times. Carry out only.

I wish we could do half stars. This place deserves a solid 2 1/2 from me. However, if I had to pick "bad" or "good" for my experience, I'd select the latter. So, three for you, Swing In.

I ordered flatsticks, wings, and a cheeseburger pizza. The flatsticks are pretty straight-forward: Flat bread sticks. Since I enjoy breadsticks, but hate how fluffy and filling they are, this turned out to be a good pick for me. The sticks themselves didn't really have anything spectacular about them, but we all know you eat breadsticks for the dippin' sauces anyway. And their marinara and nacho cheese were a-ok! Exactly what you'd expect.

The wings were pleasantly surprising. The price was *very* reasonable, and they are very large wings, not small and brittle like you'd see from some chains, which will remain Papa unnamed Johns. My big complaint with the wings: while flavorful and meaty, they were definitely not spicy. They lacked that certain kick that I know and love from buffalo sauce. I suspect tossing them in a little Franks would solve this, though.

Lastly, the pizza: This, ladies and gentleman, was the main event, and the best part of the meal, by far. I wasn't too in-love with the crust. However, this is just based on my preference for a very thin, non-existent crust. Objectively speaking, I think a lot of people will enjoy their twisty, crispy, clearly-homemade crust. The toppings were delicious, and were heaped on. This is the cheesiest pizza I've had in a very long time! Gotta give a shout-out to their seasonings as well. I can't pinpoint what they season with, but it is unique, noticeable, and delicious.

Only problem with the pie was the pickles. As a cheeseburger pizza, I was expecting dill, and these tasted like some sort of sweet pickle. As I loathe sweet pickles, I was kind of sad about this. To be honest, I picked them off, microwaved some dill slices, threw those on, and we were good to go!

TL;DR: There was a definite pro and con to each item I tried, and for me, there wasn't really a clear winner, so they get a middle vote. I will eat my left-overs, and may try another pizza of theirs in the future. Will probably not order sides again, though, not that they were terrible.

Got a pizza tonight with breadsticks. The sauce was very good. The toppings were plentiful and delicious. The crust is thin and crispy. I would order from them again.
