McCoy presented us with a spread of his most popular dishes: Bacon Jalapeño Wontons , the Gutter Ball Sandwich , Smothered Chicken , Sweet Potato Fries with a signature toasted marshmallow dip, and Bread Pudding . As we dove into the dishes, we quickly discovered the sweet potato fries and bread pudding were our favorites. McCoy also shared a culinary secret with the team that he uses in the crowd favorite, Gutter Balls —otherwise known as meatballs. Instead of making meatballs with breadcrumbs, the chef uses unsweetened pancake mix. “Other popular menu items are our Chislic Brooklyn Basket , Five Bagger Fire Burger , our salad bar, and our buffets,” shared McCoy. As for ingredients, Pinz uses an abundance of locally-sourced ingredients. “All of our meat is cut from the county fair, and during the summer we get all of our vegetables from the farmers’ market,” said McCoy. “With us making things in-house, it’s easier to incorporate local ingredients.” To make sure they’re using the best products at their peak times, McCoy changes the variation of his menus. “The menu can get boring after a while,” he said with a laugh. “This is our fourth variation in a year and a half, because I want to keep it fresh.”
As a creative nod to its name, sections of Pinz's menu are labeled with bowling terms like First Frame , Main Frame , & Perfect Game . Did You Know?
