We went in yesterday for the "birthday in April" free pizza deal and didn't even get the free pizza. They even verified his birthday. They didn't give us a receipt so that we wouldn't confirm. I pulled up their website and saw the prices we paid were not on sale. We will not be returning.

So you mail out discount coupon cards to local Nampa residents, but there is no way to order online and receive the discount you sent out. I tried calling 13 times, each time going straight to voicemail with the recording telling me to call back in 10-15 minutes. Sounds like a scam to me.

Easily the best pizza I've found in Nampa. The sourdough crust is my favorite but the original has a lot of flavor too. Cold beer, good pizza, and a couple pinball machines. If you find a better pizza spot in Nampa, let me know.

It was my daughter's day (Hazel) to make a pizza. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made the experience 5 stars all the way. Not to mention they have the best pizza in town! Thank you all so much for making Hazel's day so special!

Flying pie does great pizza, but more importantly they do community. They do name days, and my son was SO STOKED that his name finally came up so he could MAKE his FREE pizza. No purchase necessary, no strings attached. It made his whole night! Thank you FPP!

I’ve been a fan of the Fly Pies that exist to the northwest of the Boise area for years. And, though founded by friends of the local owners and maintaining some quirks/similarities, those Portland-area joints are decidedly their own thing.

I went to the Fairview location years ago and loved the vibe . . . and the salad bar (which, like the NW versions, has been shuttered ever since the pandemic). So this time, on the advice of a local, I tried out the new-ish Nampa location. Glad I did.

It is located in a nondescript strip mall, next to a Vape store and across the street from the one of the always sketchy-looking Tobacco Connections (“When You Gotta Habit”). The inside is exactly what you’d expect if you have been to any of the other Flying Pies: decidedly unique and offbeat, though not in a way that looks forced or shouts “Hey!!! Look at me!!! I’m cool!!!” The counter/ordering area is snug to the right and in front of the open kitchen. The other 2/3rds of the store are taken up with ample seating in both traditional and pub-height tables. There are two older pinball machines towards the back and near the self-serve soda machine, and also a nice selection of auto-pay draft beer stations against the back wall and to the left of the bathrooms. The industrial lights are unique. The walls are adorned with quirky cartoon references that stretch back into the 80s and 90s and your usual pizza joint beer displays.

We ordered a small vegan pie, a medium Contest Combo (a much less overloaded version of the Combo Supreme One and Combo 2 from the NW locations), a dinner salad, and some fountain drinks. As I alluded to a moment ago, the Boise-area pies tend towards less toppings, crust that is not as pronounced, and a more generous use of cornmeal on the bottom. It also seems like their cheese mix is a touch different, as it seizes a bit more as the pizza cools. That said, the pizza tastes great and has a nice mix of toppings. The garden salad, while basic is fresh (think iceberg mix as a base with fresh tomatoes and cukes) and comes with two sides of dressing. The soda fountain has the usual sugary offerings, along with flat water . . . and soda water (my preference).

The thing that links a place like this Nampa location with the ones in the Portland area, aside from the vibe/interiors, is the generally excellent customer service. Think laid back, perhaps ‘Devil’s Lettuce’ influenced, greetings and smiles. This visit, they kept checking on us, apologized for a slight delay and made sure we were enjoying our meal. We were.

Next time we are in the area, we will visit this location. The atmosphere was nice. The food was good. And the costs were, relatively speaking, fair given the quality of our meal. One note though: I think you spelled Bart’s signature phrase wrong (don’t trust the internet; he did use it multiple times in the early years of The Simpsons). Just saying.

And I think the overall average rating of 4.3 is slightly low, considering that some of the reviewers who left negative reviews struck me as: (a) overly harsh (you had great pizza, but got the wrong bread sticks, so you leave a 2-star review?!?!); or (b) a touch fantastical/hyperbolic in that “ohhhh, I feels so much better unleashing the beast and showing the internet my wrath!!!” way that makes me think of sad cats crying. The responses even these reviews get from the owner suggest that, while mistakes certainly do happen, they are willing to work on making things right.

Thanks for a nice first visit. Hope we get a chance to visit again soon. Recommended.

Today was my day to make a free pizza and my daughter and I had a great time! She is almost 5 and thought it was just the best thing ever to get to go "work" in a pizza place and make a (freaking delicious) pizza. The staff were so kind and it was just a great time for both of us. Thanks, everyone!
