Come for the all-natural, organic ingredients, stay for the delicious pizzas and salads. Sometimes organic food can be all hype and a bit of a letdown on taste, but Flatbread is delicious. Love the fresh salads and the super fresh mushrooms that they put on their pies. I'm still undecided on the nitrate-free pepperoni, but I appreciate that they offer it and it was definitely a first for me. I would absolutely try it again. Chairs are pretty uncomfortable here. Ask for a booth if you have any sort of back issues. Lunch is pricey here- about $30 for two. But it's worth the splurge.

Had a great date here last spring, in part because of the great selections of wine and beer but also because of the complimentary white pizza the bartender gave us. The pizza was delicious. Unfortunately, we were not having dinner, but I was definitely interested in coming back. The bartender was really attentive, and, as a person who hates to sit at bars or eat alone, I would feel totally fine going back there by myself if I had to. Very warm and friendly atmosphere. The only downside is that there was some sort of middle school fundraiser going on by the door. I appreciate the hometown feel, but I don't want to feel pressure to buy something on my way in or out.

I would like to update my review to add a note about the owners and staff of Flatbreads, specifically at this location. Every Tuesday night Flatbreads hosts a community fundraiser night where local non-profits/charities can earn money by getting people to come eat that night. It is very popular and there is a long waiting list. Anyway, a nonprofit I volunteer for finally got the chance to host at Flatbreads this week. The restaurant accidentaly double booked two charities for that night but stepped up and offered to cut us each a check for the original amounts, rather than asking us to split the money. Their kindness did not end there. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to set up a silent auction and even pulled aside extra tables when they noticed we were running out of room. Pretty much every waitress stopped over to look at what we had and were even kind enough to bid and purchase items after their shifts ended. I really can't express how friendly, kind, and easy going everyone was. Actually, the whole process was totally easy and low pressure. We raised money for a great organization and had a lot of fun, too. So, many more kudos to Flatbreads... oh yeah, and their pizza rocks too!

This was a very pleasant surprise. A friend was in town on business and we met here for dinner. Interesting location in the middle of a corporate office park, but the restaurant itself looks great and it's awesome to see a wood-fired oven in plain sight. The pizza was great (had the Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie) and the beer selection was splendid. The service was timely and not pushy and the food came quickly. No complaints.

Organically speaking it's too... well, too organic. They put up a good show and the food is above average but the high end rustic environment has the opposite effect on me. I think they try too hard to be authentic. Three and a half stars.

Tracie C.

This place was surprisingly delicious. When I hear organic I assume that we're paying more for the label than for good quality food, but I liked the flatbreads and toppings despite the prices. Pros: -Cute atmosphere- lots of space, the wood-burning oven was fun to watch and added to the ambiance -Waitstaff was very patient with our group of 16 -Filling: one flatbread was enough for two people, just like they stated -Dessert: brownie sundae was delicious! I actually would have been fine with just the brownie -Restaurant was very spacious, didn't feel cramped at all Cons: -Pricey -Flatbread takes some time, so if you're in a hurry this isn't a great option. That's actually not a con, just a warning. -Took a little while for someone to take our order. I felt like they didn't have enough waitstaff for our big party and the rest of the restaurant. Recommendations: Spinach artichoke flatbread, pepperoni and mushroom

Stopped in for lunch. Did not feel like pizza. Had a salad. Big mistake! So much celery on the salad that it was the only flavor and texture that was noticed. Chicken had no flavor. Very disappointed. Should have stuck with a pizza.

Have been to the Flatbread Pizza Co in North Conway, so wanted to try this one closer to Boston. Very impressive place with a great layout. I liked the way the entire restaurant was centered around the open air kitchen and the massive hearth oven. Got a table near the fire, a bottle of Cupcake Malbec and a two small pizzas and it was the perfect way to spend a cold winter night. Ingredients are fresh and local, and unlike so many pizzas, it was light and crisp, and you actually feel good after eating here. This does not replace my all time favorite - Santarpios in Eastie, but is more of a totally different way of looking at pizza, and one I enjoyed a great deal. Highly recommended and next time I will save room for desert.

This place is great and has become part of our weekly routine. The food is tasty, the staff is friendly, the beer and wine selection is top notch and the restaurant is involved in the local community. The menu is somewhat limited, but we usually go with the pizza specials, which are rotated weekly. Some of the better options are buffalo chicken, loaded baked potato and taco. Flatbreads also offers a nice fresh salad that is distinguished with a light and tasty dressing and seaweed. I recommend saving room for dessert and going with the brownie a la mode... They heat the brownie up in the wood fired oven! Also, this place is very popular, so you should call ahead to get your name on the list.

BEST PIZZA EVER! This has become our weekly stop while driving our kids back to school. Our first experience with Flatbread was in North Conway. We were so sad to limit our visits to once a year. Now we get it on a weekly basis. What a treat.

Based upon the Yelp reviews, I stopped here for an early dinner. The Server, Sarah H, suggested the special: Reuben Pizza. Yep! Pizza with pastrami, sauerkraut, onions, etc. Sarah is cute, so being a sucker (typical guy), I tried it. The pizza was great--I expected much worse, but I really enjoyed it. Combined with their local dark beer made this a great meal. Afterward, Sarah asked me to try the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Again, I was clouded by her charms--even though I don't like Banana Bread. Well, it was good too--or I was drunk from the 3 beers. If you're in the area (about 17 miles west of Boston), give this place a try!

Headed over for lunch today with some coworkers. I love everything about Flatbread Company. The pizza is so good with it's thin crispy crust and delicious sauce and cheese. I don't like any additional toppings. I love the taste of it as is. The salad is the freshest tasting you can get. I definitely think going basic is the best way so you can appreciate the true flavor. You can tell it's prepared with quality products. And it's all organic to boot!

Chicken jalapeno, sausages salad. I've been here a few times and tend to get the same thing. Sometimes a bit slow when they are busy, but its very fresh and consistent. Maybe we'll try the special next time.

The food was fantastic - and all organic! I don't usually buy into the whole "Oh this is organic" thing when it tastes the same and costs twice as much....but this changed my mind. It was slightly more expensive than a regular pizza...but tasted 20X better! Fresh veggies from farms I had heard of (including my favorite, Wilson's Farm in Lexington!). The flatbreads are all hand made (literally right next to where you sit!) and include a variety of fresh veggies/meats. My mom and I split 1 flatbread and got half "Coevolution" (olives, garlic, peppers, onions and rosemary) and half of the veggie special (caramelized onions and artichokes!). It was DELICIOUS! They also have a bar (woo!) and serve homemade sodas from a place in Maine who's name escapes me... The best part of the meal was definitely dessert - brownie sundae with chewy, chocolately brownies, AMAZING hot fudge and vanilla ice cream. To die for! My only complaint is the chairs are horrrrible to sit in - and there were too few servers for the amount of patrons - so we waited a bit longer than you'd expect for drinks/check etc. My office is moving right near here and I anticipate many flatbreads in my future!

Ryan D.

Well, the food is good. Maybe my issue is a I prefer flavor over organic. I would give it four stars, but the prices were just too much for what you get portion wise. I also hated how the pizza was sliced, yeah, it might be find with hipsters to get a four inch slice and another slice that is half the pizza, but seriously, some uniform slicing would be nice.

A very cool pizza restaurant! I first heard about it from my husband who worked nearby and frequently ate there for lunch and had great things to say about a number of their flatbread flavors. The food and service is great, and they purchase their ingredients from local farmers. Their dedication to local goods, promotion of eco-friendliness and recycled decor led to the joking title "Hippie-Pizza" - it's a pretty funky place, accompanied by the great wood burning earthen oven. They change up their specialty flavors of pizza, and there's plenty of room for making your own creatively-flavored pizza. Some great pizzas include the Taco, the veggie with balsamic vinegar as the sauce instead of tomato, Jay's Heart, and Community Flatbread.

Not Greek or Sicilian pizza, the Flatbread Company's pies are a wholesome, nutritious version of one of everyone's favorite foods. I'm lucky to have this location about two and a half miles from my office and every time I'm in here I find myself more pleasantly surprised than my previous visit. Flatbread Company offers a variety of fresh pies that use organic ingredients and feature an eclectic mix of meats, veggies and cheeses to create a savory taste experience that's unique among Boston-area pizzerias. There's a wide selection of crusts and toppings, most notably the non-tomato sauce ones that bring out a different flavor in the meats and vegetables on top. Salads, while optional, should be mandatory, for the greens and tomatoes they use are first rate. I'd also suggest trying one or another of Flatbread's local brews, most of which demand special attention on their own. And if there's any room left after pizza and drinks...desserts, especially the ice cream, are heavenly. The only knock against Flatbread is the confusing nature of their menu and how it reflects a diner's selections, for it's a bit confusing. However, the staff gets applause for their knowledge of the chef's offerings and fast, accurate service.

I'm not the earthy-crunchy type who looks for "healthy" junk food. I like my junk food to take a few years off my life, but I heard good things about Flatbread and decided to put it to the Pepsi challenge. Now I've been there about a half dozen times, and each time my friend and I have been seated at a booth by the window. Nice place to sit, but the booths are about as big as an aircraft carrier, and it's a tad odd to be carrying on a conversation from waaaaaay across the table. But that's neither hear nor there, I just thought I'd clue you in just in case you want to opt for a table and a more intimate setting. Ok, now onto the pizza. It's a brick oven joint complete with a huge oven smack in the middle of the place that looks like Fred Flinstone's house. Staff are friendly and service is fairly quick. The pizza is tasty, I especially enjoyed the pepperoni and sausage toppings. Served up with a cold glass of beer or three on tap and I was tempted not to return to work after lunch.

The only two times I've been here were around 8:30 on Tuesdays, so I can't speak to peak meal times/weekends, but... This is a really great pizza place. There are lots of delicious topping combinations and ingredients. I love that they use local New England vendors, and that it's all natural and organic. I think I've tried at least 10 different pizzas, and each one was awesome. We've yet to have leftovers. Very friendly and helpful waitstaff - even though the restaurant technically closes at 9pm on Tuesdays (I know, we're jerks for coming in at 8:30), I never feel like I'm being rushed out of there. Really cool, comfortable atmosphere. I'm not sure why the pizza is cut in rectangles rather than the typical triangle (am I missing something here?), but I'll take it. I've also never had room at the end of the meal for dessert, but I'm sure they're great as well. Go there!

Wonderful food, and a great, cozy atmosphere. You can tell the pizza is made with heart and soul, and everything I've tried is delicious. I suggest following their Facebook page, where they post their specialty flatbreads of the week, which aren't on their menu.

Solid four stars. Was at a workshop down the road at the Double Tree and ate here three times in two days. Excellent pizza, even better salads. Local ingrediants and local beers. Wood burning oven makes you want to stay for a while.

Yum! I am not usually interested in pineapple on my pizza, but the Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie was fabulous. Combined with an excellent beer and the special garden salad of the day. The bartender was very nice and gave me the run down on the organic ingredients. Will definitely be back.

Anthony R.

Delicious pizza! The crust perfectly balances chewiness with crispiness, the toppings are great and fresh, and the space it's served in is pretty cool -- think large, open wooden lodge with eco-trendy trimmings. Lots of big tables - I went here with a group of eight on a weekday and we had good service that wasn't rushed. I got to sample a simple pepperoni pizza, their homemade sausage pizza, and a mushroom/tomato pizza -- all were excellent. Good beer selection too! I don't think I'd come here out of the city but definitely a well above average 'burbs option.

2 amazing things about flatbread- 1. i love that they only source their goods from local farmers. they only get the meats from free range/no antibiotic farms. i can't stress enough how not enough restaurants do this!!! it's so much nicer to eat and chill at a place that you know cares about the earth and the welfare of the animals. i can't say how many times i've tried to kick my meat habit but get cravings sometimes. then i feel bad because the animals were treated badly in life and i don't want to support it. it's truly amazing how they support local endeavors and such, and i love that if i WAS to order a chicken something, i wouldn't feel as guilty because i know it came from a good place. 2. the pizza is SO good!!! its nice that its earth friendly, but it tastes super amazing. the community pizza was soooo yummy, as was the salad (blue cheese, celery, carrots, lettuce and i think some seaweed) and then to end the night we got a brownie alamode...which was SOOOO good too. the waitstaff was super nice, even when my gf dropped a fresh pizza onto a chair. they gave us a new one in 3 minutes for free. :-) if a restaurant is earth/animal friendly, thats awesome. if the food is awesome, that's double awesome. and flatbread is double awesome!

This place makes a strong argument in favour of pizza's good name against all the greasy, cheesy, bready crap posing as pizza out there. The menu rotates periodically, and always involves some really interesting seasonal topping combinations. Their pizzas also have a great crust: toppings ratio, and owing to the general good quality and healthiness of ingredients, won't leave you feeling like an unwashed grease pan even when you're stuffed with pizza. The organic beers and sodas are also great, and add that perfect last hippie touch to the dining experience. My one word of caution, though, is that this place does get really crowded both during weekday lunches and weekend dinners. Service also tends to be slower (limited by the stone-oven?) when it's crowded -- so make sure you have some time to spare if you're going during a popular mealtime!

Went here last Saturday night. Estimated wait was 45 minutes and it took that time for us to get seated. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent. the pizza was cooked to perfection. My gf had the gluten free pizza and it was good as well. I liked the sweet sausage on the pie. The manager is wonderful. I met him at a restaurant in Waltham and he couldnt be a nicer person. I wish him and the restaurant well.

Betsy B.

We ended up here because the place we planned on was closed. What a nice surprise to find I could have any small pizza a gluten-free crust! And it was pretty good too. I like that they use local organic ingredients. Not a huge menu and you are out of luck if you don't like pizza. Decent salad but not all that the server had built it up to being.

Flatbread is one of those places which prides itself on its green-ness and environmental consciousness - to the point where my co-workers referred to this as the 'hippie-pizza' place. Regardless of their political and environmental beliefs, they do make a fine pizza. I've sampled any number of pizzas here, and they've all been pretty good. Highlights were definitely the Mexican and the Bedford Community flatbreads, though. The Buffalo chicken is also pretty good. I wasn't too much of a fan of their Nitrate-free sausage though. Perhaps Nitrates make sausages betterer? :-) My Ratings: Food: Good flatbreads! But they cut them weird. =) They'll cut them 'traditionally' if you ask, though. Excellent dough, fresh toppings, and nice-thin crusts. Service: Good, friendly wait staff. They seem to have an endless supply of ever-chipper hostesses! Value: Fair. A bit expensive for what you get - but then again, being green isn't necessarily cheap! Ambiance: An odd place, really - lots of re-purposed and re-cycled fixtures. The giant, wood-fired clay oven is neat, and there are these huge standing stones around the dining area. Stonehenge-ish? Bottom line: It passed the test of lunch - went back many many times to sample their different flatbreads - I'd still be going there if I hadn't moved away!

I'm not very religious, but I'm pretty sure that it's a mortal sin to pass up melted goat cheese. Since I'm much too busy to be confessing and absolving sins, I'd rather just follow the rules. With that said, my boyfriend and I ordered the co-evolution and lets just say that those kalamata olives and goat cheeze didn't just co-evolve in my mouth, they straight up did the nasty and it was amazing. But wait! There's more! The dessert? Holy Mother of Mary, this brownie accompanied by ice cream was quite the little devil, and I do mean that literally. With my very own eyes, I watched that brownie rise from the flames and go straight to my plate, only to be quickly scooped up by myself and my boyfriend. The dessert can only be described as divine. The experience as a whole? Heavenly!

Reading everything on their website, was completely true and more. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and she was so friendly, helpful, patient. One of those places to eat that there was absolutely nothing wrong with this place. The pizza was wonderful. We ordered a large and with both of us finishing the whole thing. Wonderful to see all of the community activities they do for the town and the kids. This place was one of a kind and would go back there again in a second. Check it out and see. you will not be disappointed at all.

Angel C.

Great pizza! Their dough is thin and their ingredients are very fresh. I had the sausage pizza, and I was able to split a large with a friend and not be stuffed. We even had room for dessert! Which was also very good. And the service was excellent. It was our first time there, so the waiter proceeded to give us a 5-minute speech (only slightly exaggerating) about the food we were about to eat. Very friendly, very attentive guy. I also like the open layout of the place, where you can see the hearth oven and the staff making the pizzas.

kathy r.

First, they get major props for having gluten free crust. Second, the fact that the toppings are organic, and local when possible, outstanding. It's also a great kids experience- if your kids are open to something other than Domino's pizza- my nieces love both the pizzas and the desserts. And watching the pizzas get made in the fire. I often wish there were more on the menu, in case you're not in the mood for pizza or a simple salad, but it _is_ the Flatbread company, and not the "what am I in the mood for tonight" company. Overall it's delicious- and don't be afraid to pick and choose ingredients from various pizzas, they'll customize for you with no complaints. And can I mention, again, props on the gluten free crust?

Katya d.

In my opinion this ranks as some of the best pizza I've ever had...and I've had a lot - both in Italy and around the U.S. I like that they source locally whenever they can and a lot of the ingredients are organic but yet the prices are very reasonable. They also have a great microbrewery beer list. We go here so much that one of the managers knows us by sight and makes sure to come over to the table to say hi. We've only once had a bad server experience and it wasn't even that bad, she was just forgetful that night (off night, we all have them), but we had her before and since and besides that one time, she's been wonderful. Unlike some brick fired pizza, this pizza is never burnt. We almost always order the salad without the seaweed (I don't like the texture). Their dressing is tart and sweet which I like. We also almost always order the homemade pepperoni/mushroom pizza and the white pizza with goat cheese, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms. Every once in a while we'll get the special but mostly we just like these two so much that we stick with them. Although the homemade sausage pizza is fantastic also. Try the brownie sundae, it's decadent, and in the fall/winter they have a great apple cider donut sundae. Even though I gave them 5 stars I do have two complaints - 1) the noise. even with sound dampening panels, on a full night, it's loud - especially with the kids. 2) sometimes the cakey desserts (whoopie pie, banana bread) get a little burnt on the bottom because they warm them in the oven and seem to pay more attention to the pizzas. Also, I've been to three other locations and they are very consistent as a regional chain.

Oh my goodness, I love Flatbread Pizza Company. This location is the only one I know of that has the pork pie pizza, which is especially delicious. I also love that this place is one of the few that has an almost unlimited gluten free menu. There was a special once that couldn't be done gluten free, but all of their menu regulars and most specials are gluten free friendly. There GF crust is some of the best I've tasted, and I like that they order it from some little bakery in North Conway, NH. They also have a great list of fresh, local draft beers, which I can't drink, but it certainly makes Flatbreads an appealing option for my boyfriend! I like their affordable wines by the glass. Both of us can get a stellar meal and a perfect adult beverage. The only way this place could be better was if they opened a location in Brookline/Newton, MA :-)

Sumiko C.

This is my family's favorite pizza anywhere, anytime. The crust is delicious. The topping combinations are unusual and always good. Try the pulled pork, or the free range chicken with beans, corn and salsa. Salad is also delicious. My husband loves the BBC beer on tap. I've had several cocktails - all good. Don't miss the chocolate chip banana bread sundae - get it with half chocolate, half vanilla ice cream. It's fun when there is live music. absolutely top notch pizza - I could not ask for anything more. For pizza, it is relatively expensive. For a quality dinner out - it's not bad.

Great pizzas. Be prepared for their exorbitantly priced salads. All organic, but you'll pay for it. Very fun atmosphere, and one of the best places to meet friends in Burlington. Can be a little loud when there is live entertainment.

I'm taking away a star, Flatbrad. Why? Because we waited AN HOUR to get our food at lunch the other day. That is ridiculous. I understand that your pizza oven is only so big, but you built a restaurant with a pretty large seating capacity. Obviously you were expecting to have a need to serve that many people at one time and since pizza is really the only thing on the menu here, you should be pretty efficient at cranking out the pies. I feel bad for your waitstaff because I'm sure they take a lot of abuse from customers about wait times when there's nothing they can do about it. Those that run this place might tell me to slow down and relax, that dining out shouldn't be a rushed experience and I should soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the company I'm with, but seriously, Flatbread, you are in a very industrial area so I'm sure 90% of your lunchtime crowd is out on their lunch breaks (the other 10% being Bedford soccer moms) and can't wait around for your snail-pace service. All that being said, the pizza is still pretty damned delicious.

Norman C.

Actually, look, the squeaky wheel did get the grease. We got much better service and they actually sent me a gift card inviting me back. I'm happier with it now. It's still probably tough to go there for lunch if you've got a tight schedule, but hey, knowing is half the battle.

Don C.

Flatbread is one my favorite Pizza places in Boston. Everything is organic and 9 times out of 10 you will love your pizza. I do like the salad here, and I am not a salad fanatic. I tend to go for the weekly special pizzas, and as a meat-a-tarian, I can assure that more often than not the veggie is better than the meat option. I wish some of the weekly specials would migrate to the standard menu, which at times feels a little limiting. The staff is good and friendly, and I view flatbread as a reliable friend. Deserts I don't love here, but I would love if they made chocolate / deserty pizza. Hint Hint..

This place is sooooo good. After living in Boston and moving up to Dracut, I was in need of an atmosphere with good pizza and good drinks. Unfortunately this limits my options but after researching Flatbread Company, I tried it out and was not at alllll disappointed. I have to note that you really have to love brick oven pizza but if you do then this is your place. I had the veggie special which was figs, butternut squash & honey ricotta-yum! They have a great variety of local microwbrews and other beers as well as a really great drink list. Seats popped up at the bar and the service was great there-can't speak for table service. My only complaint would be the gingerbread that we ordered-it took a while because the kitchen was backed up and it was really dry, definitely wouldn't order that again, but it was certainly not a deal breaker. This might be my new favorite pizza restaurant-and the price is definitely right! $60 for 2 small pizza's, 3 beers, 2 hard ciders and a martini? Yeah, I'll take it.

Not my favorite place for pizza, but not a bad change of pace either. Very supportive of the local community, offering lots of groups chances to do a discount night as a fundraiser.

When I walked in, I tried to figure out what is special about this place. From the make-shift birch branch picture frames to the allusions of fresh killed organic chicken, I thought country at first. However, a quick look at the really open kitchen where young people were tossing flat dough in the air, I knew something else was at work here. The hostesses forgot to greet us and left us standing there for about 10 minutes, even though we were about 3 feet behind them and the only ones waiting in the lobby. The barmaid's great attitude and helpfulness more than compensated for their obliviousness. She let me sample the organic beer on tap (very dark & slightly sweet). We ordered a small pulled chicken bbq flat bread and the large sausage & mushroom flat bread. The latter was delicious. We definitely took some leftovers home. Plus, warm homemade chocolate chip banana bread with 2 scoops of vanilla was wonderful! Our servicer was very attentive. The ambience is low key with simple wooden tables and chairs. There is a huge fire hearth dome that boys from the kitchen stick long wooden spatulas in and out. It is simple good eats that make you feel good afterwards because it didn't hurt or overly process the farm animals.

Food - thin cornmeal crusted dough, chewy not crisp with a little bite of cornmeal underneath. Flops a bit like a NY slice. Nice crust bubbles you get from a nice high heat cook. The ingredients are tasty and house made meats and organic veggies certainly a big plus. Had a half nitrate-free pepperoni (pepperoni is house made and thicker in slices then normal pizza) and half caramelized onions and mushrooms (caramelized onions could certainly be better as they were not really caramelized). Atmosphere - great wood fired oven with a bench in front to chill by and very chill waiting area Service - quick and very friendly (they were doing their local benefit an organization thing on Tuesday

Flatbread's is a great place to get some wholesome food with a fun, 'crunchy' atmosphere. You walk in and the restaurant feels like a big log cabin, fireplace and all. Definitely not your typical pizza joint! The menu includes all organic ingredients and free-range meat so you can rest assured that you're eating an environmentally considerate meal, if you're concerned about that. If you're not concerned about that, it's okay too because the ingredients taste fantastic regardless of the political implications. The specials are written on chalkboards dispersed throughout the room, and if you feel like a more relaxed meal, you can park it at a low table with lounge chairs/futons and just 'chill'. You look at the pizzas and think "Oh God I'll never finish all that", but the crust is very thin and airy, and it's cut into such tempting little 'breadstick' type pieces that you end up having 'just one more' until it's all gone! I tried the brownie sundae....mmm. Haha can you tell I like chocolate? All my reviews are like, "and then the brownie", "and then the cake"... usually I don't have room for dessert, but I had to make some room to try an organic brownie with all-natural ice cream. And it's right next to Bamboo, one of my favorite restaurants of all time! So I suppose that's why I've only been to Flatbreads once. haha It's hard to choose!

I am a pizza snob. Nothing comes close to Flatbread in terms of creativity, freshness and quality of ingredients, and attitude. I have eaten there several times and take out pizza on a semi-regular basis and am always amazed at what they can pull off. Shepherds' pie pizza, beef taco pizza, beets pizza etc are all things that I have tried. If the pizza is too well done or has any defect, they will gladly remake it for you and leave the other one on the table! To top it off, they also have incredible microbrews on tap and really fresh organic salads. If you want a casual night out and like pizza, you can't go wrong here.

The pizza was great! And all organic, apparently! It was so nice eating delicious pizza that I could claim as "good for me". The ambience of this place is great too. It's fun. And our waitress was beyond helpful!

Missy W.

Okay, okay, I'll admit it. Normally I could care less about where my pizza comes from, how it's made, and what ingredients it has in it. I just care about the "does it taste good?" part. When going to Flatbread, the answer is always yes! It does taste good! Only after it passed my 'taste test' did I start to appreciate all those things I listed above. Organic? Cool. Brick oven stove? Awesome. Free range/no cruelty to animals policy? Even better! This place is warm and cheery and is a nice place to wind down with family and friends.

Great pizza and the salads are awesome! It's a great place to meet up with friends or for a date night-very laid back! The wait staff was super nice. I'd recommend you add Flatbreads on your list of go to places.

This place is awesome! I celebrated my Birthday here with a few of my girlfriend's and I ended up really enjoying myself. The pizza was amazing! we ordered the Jimmy's free range chicken pizza and it was YUMMY! We also got a salad which was good as well. The salads though are a little tricky to order due to the way they are layed out on the menu BUT still very good. Of course we couldn't leave without getting desert so we all shared the brownie sundae. Overall, I was very happy with my experience and I will return!

Think warehouse with a bar, tables, and a open fire oven. The best part is the beer. The pizza is small with a limited range of toppings. The only other option is a salad. The service is slow. A good option if other restaurants are too busy.

From the outside, Flatbread looks nothing like a brick-oven eatery. It's in an office park in Bedford, MA right near the industrial belt of Interstate 95. As you can see from the other reviews, if you are into all natural, gluten-free food, this place is for you. They really do make some phenomenal pizza. To be honest, when I went we ordered two pizzas that were on special and I couldn't even tell you what was on them but I ate every last bite. Not only is this food healthy but it's the most creative I've ever seen for pizza.

Cath B.

Just wanted to give kudos to this restaurant. We enjoyed a couple of small pizzas and salad (all of which were wonderful) this afternoon. However, the best part of the visit was that we were not charged for the pizzas because they took perhaps 10 or 15 minutes longer than they should have in being delivered to our table! Since it's easy to see everyone working, it was hard to say why there was a delay, but the server and manager both apologized profusely, saying "it should have only taken 10 minutes total!" I've heard this before at many restaurants, but NEVER had anyone comp the meal because of a delay. Can't say enough about the excellent service and excellent food. I'll be a regular and recommend it to everyone.

Very enjoyable restaurant. The food was delicious. You can taste the farm fresh ingredients. Love the fact they do fundraising every week on Tuesday night. Also they tap into local farms for the produce. It was truly tasty.

We have been back 2 or three times since.... in a month. I mean lets me honest, i'm throwing like, 10 allergies at a waitress and this place can feed me. AND IT'S GOOD. I just want to go back to my previous review because I forgot to mention the pepperoni - it was disgusting. Like, really, really bad. But I don't care, because everything else is amazing. I now, everytime, without fail (and it's SO GOOOOOOOOOD) get the Cheese & Herb with extra mozz, sausage and caramelized onions. It's the balls. I think I need to start skipping dessert. I think it does have soy/nuts somewhere in the way of getting to me touching it. Which is sad.... but I'll still be back for my pizza and downeast cider!

Denis D.

Not your typical pizza joint. No. It's a pleasantly different kind of pizza, no cheese, but oh soooo delicious. I've been there many time, tried at least 8-9 of their 'pizzas'. All of them were amazing. This place can get pretty busy, but there's plenty of parking, plenty of cold beer while you wait to get seated. I love this place. Would highly recommend. Will I go back? Absolutely!!!

Christina V.

Another place Yelp led me to when we were driving around indicisive. I love thin crust and interesting ingredients. I didn't even know they had a full bar. They were fairly busy for a Sunday at 3pm but no excuse to be left sitting there for 10+ minutes without an acknowledgement. That always sets the tone for a meal. Not sure if there was confusion but when our server finally came over she was unapologetic. Whatever! Our pizzas came out in I'd say 5-7 minutes and they were perfect so I didn't complain. Super thin, super flavorful and organic! Definitely want to try their reasonably priced cocktails ASAP!.

Great place. Locally sourced products create fresh and inviting pizzas. One note. If you don't like children, and this is not the place for you. It is crawling with the kids. Always. Every time of the day. That being said, the pizza ovens are right there to watch them make the pizzas, the staff is attentive and sweet. Where do you go, get at least one of the special pizzas of the day. Usually very surprising flavors and combos, but yummy food. Perritte with a nice glass of wine on microbrew. And you are done. Perfection

I would say the pizza is average for brick oven. When I went a couple weeks ago, my group got two kinds - Jimmy's free range chicken and Jay's heart. The chicken on Jimmy's free range was a bit dry and the crust was too floppy. Jay's heart was better but I've definitely had better brick oven pizza. I would say each large pizza feeds around 3 people - but only if they're not in the mood to pig out :). What I liked most about this place was the ambiance. It is rustic and warm - I could definitely spend a couple hours here after lunch catching up with friends. I got warm apple cider in a cute jar with a hand knit koozie my last visit and it fit the vibe perfectly. The staff was also friendly and accommodating - especially with getting different requests on each half of the pizzas. The food came out reasonably fast but honestly I would not have minded waiting a bit longer. I would come back because I loved the ambiance so I really wanted to love the pizza. Unfortunately the pizza I had when I came here was just average.

Nichol D.

I am in love with this restaurant. It is now on my must go list for the Boston area. The food is made fresh with local farmer grown organic products. The staff is friendly, knowledgable and attentive. The atmosphere is nice, the food is delicious. And if you get the blueberry ale they donate $1 to an animal place. This is a great restaurant run by very good people. I believe they also donate a portion of all dinners from Tuesday nights as well to a charity (I don't remember which one). Do yourself a favor and check it out. Get a fresh salad, try a flatbread pizza (I recommend the chipotle pork one -so good). For dessert get the banana bread with pumpkin icecream. If I was a local I would go here all the time. Because I'm not local it will be on my must stop list every time I am in the area. I heart this place so much.

If you're looking for awesome pizza, local craft beer and a down-to-earth ambiance.. look no further. This place re-defines pizza. They used locally sourced, organic ingredients for all their pizzas and salads. They have 3 weekly rotating pizza specials and a rotating salad special. The have an open-kitchen, so you can see the staff throwing dough, preparing pizza and baking pizzas in the wood fired clay oven. In the spring/summer season they even grow their own vegetables in a garden outside to use in-house. It doesn't get any fresher than that! Also, They carry Maine Beer Company on draft, which is an incredible brewing company. Not a lot of places in Massachusetts is on the list to receive kegs from them. Bottom Line: The first time I came here, I never wanted to eat pizza anywhere else again. This place is truly excellent!

H0LY SMOKES. This place is a GEM. I have been working in the Burlington/Bedford area for almost a year and some coworkers have been suggesting we head there for a while. I am so glad that I did. Each of us ordered a small flatbread (one vegetarian with bacon, one homemade sausage, and one mopsys with pork) and we shared them family style. I'd say in general a small flatbread would probably feed about 2 people depending on how much everyone eats. Each flatbread was tasty but I have to say the Mopsys was my favorite. All of the ingredients for each of the flatbreads was absolutely delicious - so many different flavors and textures. The inside of the restaurant was so eclectic and with the cold afternoon it felt so warm kind of like a ski lodge. I cannot wait to head back again.

Great local, organic pizzas. We split 3 pizzas. A veggie, hamburger and the bacon/potato specials. Awesome selection of beers (Maine Lunch). Great service and fun atmosphere

As usual I was staying in Burlington on Thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday night we needed a place to eat. A quick scan of Yelp revealed about a million places within a 2-3 mile radius of the hotel. There are more expensive places like the Capital Grill and Legal Seafood down to low budget places like Chilis and everything in between. I have been to some of the places (like Legal) and wanted to try something different. After trying (unsuccessfully) to get a reservation at a decent, not too expensive place I noticed The Flatbread Company was nearby. No reservations but at least they had call-ahead seating. I have been to the Flatbread Co. in Avon, CT a couple times and liked it. It kind of cool and decent without being expensive or fancy (jeans definitely acceptable). I think this "chain" has about a dozen or so restaurants sprinkled around New England. This place looks very similar to the one in Avon once you're inside. They have a big hot oven where you can watch the flatbreads being made. It definitely goes for the "crunchy" New-England feel. I'm not sure if they hire only crunchy people or if they "encourage" the staff to dress that way. Overall it feels like you just stepped into any place in Burlington Vermont. And that's ok with me. We called ahead fairly early (maybe 6pm) as we were expecting big crowds and I put my name in. They said 35-45 minutes. We got there about 6.30 and waited a few minutes so the call-ahead process worked as advertised. It should be noted that flatbreads are not pizzas. They are similar but if you're expecting "pizza" in any traditional Italian sense of the word you're not going to get it here. But that doesn't mean it's not good, it's just different. My favorite is the chicken pizza with black beans, corn, tomatoes, etc. Kind of a Tex-Mex type thing. But I've had the opportunity to try nearly all the flatbreads and they are all pretty good. Just pick the one that appeals to you and I don't think you'll be disappointed. A small is good for one person, a large for two. Also try the salads as they are also good. As you might expect, their shtick is organic, sustainable etc. I'm always skeptical when places make this claim but the ingredients do seem fresh and above average, especially for a chain. It's neither cheap nor expensive; I think we spend about $65 total for two people with one drink each and no dessert. That feels about right to me but if you're a family of 4 on a budget it might be more than you want to spend. Overall if you're looking for a decent place with quality ingredients that's family and large-group friendly this is a good choice.

I rarely crave pizza, but I'm really glad we decided to go to Flatbread! The bf and I ordered a large flatbread, 1/2 margherita and 1/2 hamburger (both were specials of the day). The large was bigger than we expected, but since we were hungry, we managed to finish it. I really enjoyed the margherita pizza; the tomato sauce was amazing! The hamburger special was ok, the meat was drier than I would have liked. Did I mention that the flatbread was wood-fired? We got to watch them make the flatbread and put it in the ovens, which was highly entertaining as we waited for our food. Another great thing about Flatbread Co. is that all their ingredients are and locally sourced! I'm not sure if it was only for Earth Day, but a separate table was designated the Arts table with paper and crayons set out for children to draw to their heart's content. It's a great way to occupy children if you have any, but also a great way to end our date as twenty-something year olds :) The restaurant even features some of the art on their menus, it's really cute. I would definitely visit again to try more of their flatbreads!

Nashrah R.

Great flatbread pizzas with lots of options for vegetarians. The proportions are generous; I was very satisfied with my "small" size. I would like to see more meat options on their menu. The dessert selection was mediocre. We shared the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae. The cookie tasted like half baked cake. The icecream was quite good though.

Came here with a buddy of mine and well I got to stay I wasnt impressed about the place. The place was loud, the wait staff was friend but took forever to get waited upon, and the pizza we had hamburger and mushroom - well it has no flavor it was just blahhhh. It wasnt worth what we paid for it. I will not be coming here again...

Delicious pizza and great beer/cider selection. Me and my friend got the Cheese & Herb pizza, and it was so good. No red sauce, which is my preference. I also got a Down East Cider which came with a cinnamon sugar rim. A little pricey for pizza, but that's Bedford for you. The quality is worth it. I look forward to going there again!

This is one my favorite place for Pizza and beer. Plenty of parking in the plaza. This resturant is always busy, you can call in advance to be on wait list. They don't take reservations over the phone. It's a great place for go with family. Service is very good. Love the pizza, very good taste and plenty of choices. Flatbread Company is Definitely the first name comes to my mind when someone says pizza.

Solid thin crust za's. I wasn't blown away by any of them, but all of the 5-6 pizzas we ordered for our group were pretty tasty. Nice selection of beers on tap. Fairly limited wine list. Loud and hectic atmosphere. The night that I was dining, there were lots of families with young kids doing what young kids do best. We must have got there at the right time, because we only waited about 5 minutes for a table. But on our way out the line was insanely long and I'm guessing folks were waiting 30-40 minutes or more.

Eric B.

Pizza (ok, technically flatbread) made with local ingredients, interesting toppings (try the Mopsy's or the chicken Alfredo, which is my favorite special) phenomenal drinks (the molten margarita with muddled jalapeÃ±os and freshly lemon juice is terrific) a nice selection of local beers (order a Seadog blueberry and you get a spoonful of blueberries AND a donation is made to whichever monthly animal charity is on the chalkboard above the bar.) I think that's what really sets Flatbread apart. Wednesday's they have live music, which is pretty good, too. The food is really good, but the staff here sets it apart from anywhere else since they really have their hearts in the right place. They have charity fundraisers every Tuesday night for some local cause, plus the monthly animal charity, and Joe, Stephanie and Charmaine greet almost everyone by name.

Came in here lastnight with my girlfriends for a birthday dinner- Very family/child friendly so don't go looking for a romantic night We ordered 5 pizzas and they were all delicious. The salad and salad dressing was also very tasty I will definitely return when I'm in the mood for a good fresh thin crust pizza My only complaint is the bartender who was extremely rude to my friend. She first laughed at her and said there's no way you are 21 (she's 28!!) then after checking her ID she ordered a martini straight up and the woman laughed at her again?? Not sure who teaches the bar staff but they might want to give them proper ways to treat the customers. Enjoy your pizza- disregard rude young staff!

Corrin W.

In one word: Yum! The pizza is fresh and delicious. The service was great. Drinks were delightful. I was not pleased with the selection of appetizers. They don't have any... Only salads. We ordered two pizzas and unfortunately they came out 15 minutes apart. We were done with the first before the second even came out...which was fine because we were splitting them but would have been terrible if we weren't. Also the place was overwhelmed with kids which was annoying. Kids running around like little wild things. I understand that mgmt can't really help how parents supervise their young, but perhaps they should have toys or puzzle games to keep waiting families occupied.

Got takeout from FlatBread for the first time because it was close to the office. Pretentious and overpriced and worst of all the pizza did not taste good. $22 for a large "sausage" and "pepperoni" pizza. The toppings were shreds of sausage and shreds of pepperoni, and the sausage was sickly sweet. $11 for a small cheese pizza which weighed about as much as a slice that you would get from your local pizza place. The crust resembled the cardboard takeout box. Speaking about the takeout box - it was decorated with pretentious prose about "Nurture" and "Heal". How about "Taste" and "Value"? I guess they are targeting a certain demographic - if you want real pizza skip Flatbread. PS - there was also a bit of a safety issue - they have an open hearth oven in the dining room where the pizzas are made. I guess that is part of the "ambience", but I saw many small (less than 5 year old) kids playing right in front of the oven unattended, within arms length of the open hearth. Where are these kids' parents?

Hipster restaurant meets the burbs. Live music during the week. Organic and super fresh ingredients featured throughout the menu (during the summer they are growing their veggies outside of the restaurant!). Incredible pizza combinations. Our favorite regular pizza is the punctuated equilibrium. Every special we have had there is truly special and has been very good. They aren't using items they need to get rid of, they are using items that are in season that week! Their full service bar is excellent making delicious drinks. Beer selection, chocolate martini, hard lemonade is all great. One downside is the price for a pizza is very high. Usually 18 or 19$ their large pizza is barely enough for two hungry people because it's flatbread. It's still cheaper than most other dining options and just as delicious as anywhere else. Also one time out of several visits we did have one burned pizza and it was not good (very busy saturday night).

Rob R.

Stopped here when all the Mall restaurants were busy. Someone said the atmosphere was hippy/rustic and I think that's exactly right. The ingredients were fresh, and the combinations were very creative. Everything was tasty. I think our favorite was the sausage and mushroom. Coffee was decent, service was good. We plan on going back to try more on the menu.

I am obsessed with this place. I go every time that I can. The pizza is the best I've ever had. Nothing else compares to their Jays Heart pizza. I also love how they utilize organic and local ingredients. I also love their dessert. The pumpkin flavored ice cream is the best. Also, the salad is very good! The dressing is very yummy and memorable. Basically everything is delicious!

Alessandra B.

This is a big family friendly kind of hall restaurant that goes for the spartan spare feel with wood tabletops and no frills. I sat at the bar and had the cheese and herb flatbread (no red sauce). It was very good, with the flatbread being nice and crunchy on the outside and light and airy on the inside, very thin. The cheese was a cut above usual pizza cheese fare and the herbs gave it a little more flavor and a bit of zest. I hals had a flatbread margarita that was nice, not too sweet and not to sour, and my friend tried the apple pie martini that was just way way too sweet. The bartender treid to correct it by adding lemeon juice but it didn't really work and 90% of it was not drunk and no offer to take it off the bill was received. To be fair it really did taste like apple pie! Shared a chocolate and ice cream desert which was ok, just a couple of pieces of chocolate brownie and two scoops of vanilla. Was worth it for the flatbread, not for much else. Take out might be the way to go with this place (they have curbside pick up) unless you are taking the kiddos out for a casual family dinner. The flatbread is 4 stars but the mediocre drinks and the whole family spartan picnic hall family friendly thing brings it down to a three. Service was friendly though unsophisticated. The big clay ovens with wood burning fires inside are cool and the kids would marvel at them.

I understand what they are trying to do They just dont do it well enough to merit the price or any price really Cardboard like crust, lack of sauce, light on the cheese making for a very dry i'll tasting pizza, I did have it delivered, back when they had delivery, but a pizza shouldn't taste like garbage 45 min after it was made...And thats where it ended up Many people confuse price with value, not me, its crap at any price, California Pizza Kitchen does the same thing just miles better

Mike R.

Okay pizza but not amazing. Salad was also okay but nothing special. I found the menu very limiting. If you don't want pizza or salad, you are out of luck. Also, the pizza menu is also limited. They do give you the option to create your own but the ingredients you can choose from are also limited. It was all a little too earthy crunchy for my taste. I think if you are seriously conscious about keeping it organic or if you are a vegan, this may be a great option. But if you are just someone who likes good pizza, organic or otherwise, this place is just okay.

Catherine B.

I have been a big fan of Flatbread pizza since I visited the restaurant in Portland ME many years ago. So I was thrilled to find one nearby when I moved to the Boston area. Their pizza is the best around. They use fresh local ingredients for their toppings and salads. They always have special pizzas, one veggie and one with meat, with unique toppings and in-season ingredients. The servers are always super pleasant and helpful. We have become regular customers here on the weekends.

Kate D.

I love any place that serves pizzas and beers. There are few better things. We ate a large carne pizza and half punctuated equilibrium and half Bedford community large pizza. Pizzas were tasty, but my favorite was the punctuated equilibrium. Kalamata olive and goat cheese combo is great. The ambience felt like sitting at a homey dinner with every single member of your family packed into your house. It's so cosy that I will probably go back with a board game in hand next time. A large pizza feeds 2-3 people comfortably (maybe 4 if you're small petite women). Downsides: Pizzas are kind of expensive. A large costs $18. I dream about the $4 large pizzas at Newtowne Grill in Porter Square. Also, the restaurant needs to fix the wording on their menus. They list $3.50 large pizzas and $1 beers special. At least that is how it reads. It means to convey that a portion of your bill will go to charities. That's just me being honest.

Wonderful. One of my favorite places to grab a beer and pizza after work. My friend and I go about twice a month. Yummy, well-priced, quality food. Cozy, relaxing environment. Friendly staff, good management. The cheese and herb pizza with goat cheese and onion is my fave.

Great food, horrible service. My husband and I stopped into Flatbread's on our way back to Boston after spending the new year up north, so the date of this meal was 1/3/15 at around 2pm. I have eaten at the Bedford, MA location only once before and have had the opportunity to try multiple Flabreads in NH and CT and never experienced the horrible service we did on this day. When we arrived there was one couple in front of us waiting to be seated but the hostess was struggling to make change for another customer picking up their takeout order. The manager then came over and took the waiting couple to a table but never came back for us. We continued to wait while the hostess finished making change and then ran off to get the takeout order. Never being acknowledged we continued to wait, until we decided to just seat ourselves at the bar. The bartender was very attentive (at first) immediately welcoming us, telling us the specials, and taking our drink orders. We ordered a large pizza (half sausage and half veggie) and the organic salad. Everything came out timely and was very fresh! The problem was that the bartender disappeared! We had to get up and walk around the bar to find red pepper flakes, if I was brave enough I would have also refilled my drink! Our water was never refilled and we were never provided the opportunity to order another glass of wine or beer! When the bartender finally came back she got stuck talking to an older single man at the bar, she went on and on about how she looked 18 but was really much older and could he believe that she even had a son. This was all going on while the other customers at the bar tried to get her attention, including us. We finally had the opportunity and asked for our check, we immediately tried to hand over our credit card but she walked away. This time to wait on tables around the bar area. We waited for what seemed like forever and at this point all we wanted to do was leave, so we pooled together the cash we had (still giving her a tip - which she didn't earn) and left. As we walked out I realized that several of the tables that were dirty when we walked in, were still in fact dirty. What seemed to be the manager (yellow button down and jeans) was trying to keep up with everything from the dishes in the back dish room to bringing out food from the kitchen. Either they were extremely short staffed or they have a larger operational issue, but I wont be back to find out which one it is.

Every pizza I've had at this place has been great, though I wish they had more options available. The sodas aren't that great, but better than Pepsi. The service is always great. I've also done Paint Nite here and the designated waitress is excellent!

Very nice pizzas in an original setting. Staff is friendly. The dough is very good and the seasonal toppings quite original. Highly recommended.

The food here is unlike any other pizza place I have ever been to! They definitely have the best farm to table items available around the area! I think it can be a hit or miss with the specials - depending on what you like! I LOVE meat on my pizza, but don't love pizzas that are overloaded. I have never had a bad pepperoni pizza here and the family style salads could feed an army! I recommend the whoopie pie for dessert!!! Bring your kids too- they can sit on a bench right in front of the giant wood stove and watch your pizza cook!!!

The place is too noisy for me. Concrete floor, hard surfaces everywhere, and a single room warehouse style space: these create a cacophony that's too unpleasant. That doesn't seem to bother most people though as this is a popular eatery.

Flatbread has great pizza. I would go there more often, but 1. there's always a lack of parking, and 2, on Friday and Saturday nights the wait for a table can be quite long.

Hungry for Gluten Free pizza and found Flatbread Pizza on Yelp. We arrived to a very big, yet cozy, family friendly atmosphere with a bit of a hippie-organic vibe. We were promptly seated, and within seconds ordered our drinks. We also ordered the salad of the day - arugula, tomatoes, feta (kindly served on the side), pea tendrils and balsamic vinegar. It was fresh, delicious, and the balsamic was yummy, not the sour/tart version that eclipses the back of your tongue. The manager, Andrew welcomed us to Flatbread because our wonderful waitress informed him it was our first visit. He was warm and attentive and made sure that our first meal met our expectations. (SO Great to have the service industry caring about the customers' experience!) My GF pizza arrived. It was perfect! The sauce was savory and very flavorful, the mix of cheeses was balanced well, and the crust, was unglutenfree like. In other words, it was soft, savory and cooked to order. Great selection of drinks and all of the food is local, organic, and sustainable. So happy to have a great place to find a delectable GF pizza. My husband really enjoyed the regular pepperoni pizza too. Andrew, we will definitely be back. THANK YOU!

The flatbreads themselves are amazing- not too greasy, extremely flavorful, even if it is uniquely cut into rectangles instead of the traditional shape. But it doesn't really matter, just because they are soooo good! The pork kahua pie is my personal favorite! The pork isn't dry, but tender and juicy. Almost everything is local and organic too, which is always a plus! The only thing I would take off for is the atmosphere-screaming kid makes for a not so pleasant dining atmosphere! But definitely try this place out, it's awesome!

Great food - but be sure to ask that the pizza gets cooked all the way through. Too many times has is been given undercooked. Always busy. Seats are VERY uncomfortable! Go later if you don't want to be bothered by children. (Eaten here more than five times)

Even though Flatbread is about a 25 minute drive, we go there quite often (considering we have so many good places in and around Melrose, it's surprising that we ever leave the area!). I first was introduced to flatbread in Portland, ME and was excited to see the chain expand into Massachusetts. Flatbread has a solid beer selection. Not a ton of beers on tap, but a good, well thought out selection that always includes some Maine Beer Co. beers. Anywhere that has MBC on draft is good in my book. Their pizzas are good- fresh ingredients and lots of vegetarian and even vegan options- though I've never had one to write home about. What I really was impressed by was their desserts. Cookie and brownie sundaes! SO good. All with local delicious ice cream. Service has always been friendly and fun, and it's also a good place to go with kids.

During the long bleak winter of 2015, I found Flatbread to be a comforting and cozy place for lunch with friends during the week. I rely on my local version in Amesbury for dinner with the family, but in Burlington for lunch, the place is knee-deep in Friday-casual tech types from the local industrial park, but no less earnest or vital in atmosphere. The open fire warms the frosty soul in February, and the pizza is as good as I have come to expect from any one of the consistently fine Flatbread restaurants.

I can't even believe it's been this long. This trip to Flatbread with a larger crew than last time was just as good if not better. The food is terrific but there are some caveats. If you don't want pizza, there aren't many other choices except salad. For some reason (probably having to do with the overall "divergent" theme at Flatbread), they cut the pizzas into strips rather than triangular slices. It doesn't work as well, as people have figured out over the last three centuries or however long it's been since somebody invented the pizza. So...that's all I could find that was wrong. Everything else is wonderful, in a strange kind of way. Going to Flatbread is like wandering into a restaurant in the Haight circa 1968 during the Summer of Love or whatever else we called it in those days. I always thought I'd rather forget all that psychotropically-driven blithering and have worked hard at trying to pretend it never happened. If you can remember the sixties, you weren't there. But Flatbread brings you into a happy, sanitized version of it, complete with hippie wannabes, guys with full-body beards (I think a Wookie convention was in town) and more blue denim than Levi Strauss even dreamed of. All the waitresses had long, wandering hair and a slightly abstracted air about them. The guitar player was singing the Beatles' "Mother Nature's Son" and it was beautiful. The whole thing was beautiful. It's like a stage set; startling at first when you walk in but then it all seems to come together and you feel very much at home. Did I mention that the pizza is terrific? The Guide Michelin should visit this place. You should too.

While people may complain about Flatbread being pricy, I love it until I die. They have a menu that isn't large but almost everything is a gem. One of my personal favorites is the barbeque pulled pork pizza. That thing is ridiculous. Their house salad with goat/blue cheese crumbles is also a winner and their gingerbread ice cream dessert is so good I can never pass it up. This is coming from someone who is not big on dessert. Flatbread has an awesome lively but chilled and laid back vibe. All the employees are super friendly always make you feel welcome and have a fun time. They have a number of craft beers and microbrews there which I have not tried but look great (blueberry!). Excellent place.

Lauren A.

I don't even know what to say: the best damn gluten-free pizza I have ever consumed, and the best normal-people pizza my boyfriend (and friends, and family, etc.) have ever consumed as well. And their pumpkin whoopee pies? I feel like I'm sinning every time. This place is my guilty pleasure, and although I hate how expensive the gluten-free option is, I do appreciate their having such unbelievable gluten-free food (and just food in general), and their Equilibrium pizza is stupidly tasty. I actually dream about that freaking pie on occasion. Definitely recommend this place even though it can get packed on the weekends (they offer take-out which is always a win-win), and their drinks, pizzas and desserts are truly to-die-for.

Having been to several Flatbread Company restaurants and have mentioned the one in Amesbury MA which I love. I live closer to Bedford so we decided to try this one out. We meet with a much younger couple looking for a place to talk and learn from an older couple (my husband and myself). I love this location! So many things I could mention such as the chill atmosphere or the painting class going on in the corner or the food which is always great - but I loved the service here. Jamie was our server and she was fabulous. My husband is a bacon freak and Jamie hooked him up big time! We got the veggie special with yes BACON on top! They don't always have bacon and Jamie warned us that she might not be able to get that for us. They were just done curing the bacon for the next day menu so she indulged us. Honesty, the best pizza I have had there. I am in LOVE with their salads but the pizza was a treat! Can't say enough about Jamie! She is awesome at her job. She left us alone when it was appropriate but had fun with us too. My husband is a funny guy but some servers don't have a sense of humor. Jamie is not that server. She is smart, quick witted and made our experience fun. She is very knowledgeable of the menu and special events the restaurant has. We will be back!

Flat bread quality is good. Good selections of flat bread. The drink menu is confusing, however. Some sodas offer refills and some don't. Ice tea is listed as $1.75 but charged $2.00 for it. the 25 cents isn't something that is worth arguing for, but I would appreciate a more honest business practice.

I have had the best pizza ever till date. I would highly recommend everyone staying in and around Boston to have the freshly prepared organic pizza. Ambience is like a simple shack with an open kitchen where u can see the chefs preparing they pizza right in front of you ( my friend Rashmi says they get the veggies from the FFFOOAAARRMM [ Farm that's wat she meant ]

Ammu K.

Wish we had a place like this closer to home. They had some delicious "pizza", and I would put that in quotes because I'm from NY, that's not pizza :) Service was great, the oven they use to bake the flatbread is awesome, and the flatbread was delicious. If this was around my area, I'd def frequent it.

Pizza is delicious. Fresh ingredients. Nice layout in the restaurant - tables aren't too close together. Yes, it is often crowded, but that's to be expected when the pizza is this good.

ORGANIC-IZED Honestly an organic pizza place down to the spices too. Yes this is that place. I really loved it. I come to this area for work all of the time. I have two clients that are both down the road from here. The food in the area is terrible and I have only one favorite asian place I will go too. Recently I decided to trust Yelp to help me find a new place to eat and bam up pops "Flatbread Company"! The reviews were solid and I decided that I needed to give this place a try and I was so surprised at how good it was. I walked in on a Wednesday night and was able to find a spot at the bar. The bartender asked if it was my first time and I said Yes. So she told me a little history about the location which always makes me feel comfortable when eating at a new restaurant. There was a great selection of craft brews and I decided to go with the Allagash White. I was so happy because I was searching for this beer and it seemed to have alluded me for a while. The crazy thing is that I now see this beer everywhere. I guess the word of mouth marketing seemed to work really well. I was very happy with my Allagash White...in fact I had two...so good! As I was looking at the menu, I had the hardest time trying to decide what pizza to go with. I spoke with the bartender and asked her which pizza was her favorite. She looked at me and said, "The Coevolution" is my favorite!" I looked at her and said, "I was leaning towards the Nitrate-free pepperoni & roasted red peppers." She then said, "Why don't you get both!" I said, "I am by myself I can not order two pizzas!" She said, "We can do a half of each on the same pizza!" What!!! How cool is that!!! I even asked her how much the up charge would be and she said that there was no up charge I would just pay the price for one pizza. I loved that because of all of the different toppings I was about to experience. Here is a long description of the pizza I ordered: Coevolution - Imported Kalamata olives, fresh organic rosemary, organic red onions, Vermont Butter Goat cheese and fire-roasted sweet red peppers, premium whole milk mozzarella baked on organic bread dough with homemade organic garlic oil and our own blend of organic herbs. And Nitrate-Free Pepperoni & Roasted red peppers - Homemade nitrate-free pepperoni with organic fire roasted red peppers, our wood-fired cauldron tomato sauce, whole milk mozzarella and imported Parmesan cheese baked on organic bread dough with homemade organic garlic oil and our blend of organic herbs. Wow were both of these pizzas amazing. I must say that the bartender was correct by saying the Coevolution was the best. I really liked her selection and I am glad that I went with it. I did remove the artichoke heart from the Coevolution because I am not an artichoke heart fan. As I was sitting at the bar having an amazing time I started talking to the guy two seats down from me. I then found out his name was Joe and he was the general manager here. We started talking food and beer. He was a great guy and we also talked about Yelp and how Yelp lead me to this place. He was a little upset at some of the bad reviews but I told him not to worry about it because I could see that the good reviews out weighed the bad ones. I also informed him that as a business owner he could take ownership of his Yelp page and respond directly to reviewers. He had no idea he could do that. I also warned him to never be mean in public because if someone wrote you a bad review they have no problem doing it again. He appreciated all of the advice. I was so excited to receive a direct message from Joe via Yelp telling me that he signed up for the Yelp Business account and loved being able to connect with the Yelpers that visited his restaurant. I love bridging the gap between businesses and Yelpers. We can all work together to make amazing experiences for everyone. Joe also gave me a tour of the restaurant. I was amazed at the pizza ovens here. The time that goes into making these clay ovens is incredible. What I love is that they invited the local kids to help build it. The owner builds a frame for the oven out of of wood sticks. Then the kids came in and applied wet clay to the frame work. It then takes a month for the clay to fully dry. Then once it is dried they are ready to start making pizzas in there. They fire up the clay oven and it burns the framework of sticks on the inside leaving this beautiful clay dome for the pizza oven. Pizza being cooked in an oven by wood...it reminds me of my days as a kid in Sicily. So delicious. When we went back to the bar Joe was doing a sampling of some of the new beers he was going to bring into the restaurant. He also let me get in on the sampling with the staff. I had so much fun tasting new beers. I can not wait to come back! Organic pizza, great staff, a GM that cares about Yelp and craft brews at the bar. Oh yeah they had live music too!

Excellent pizza and salads and friendly service. The pizzas are a thin crust and you can split toppings on it. The Caprese salad was fresh and tasty. Definitely a place to go back to again.

I would consider moving to Massachusetts just so I could go to Flatbread more often. My husband I stopped here for lunch on a Saturday on a road trip to New Hampshire (he had been in the area for work before, so he knew where this place was), and were more than impressed. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was great. I had Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie -- it was the perfect combination of sweet and savory because of the BBQ sauce and pineapple. One of those pizzas is definitely enough for two people (you could pair it with a shared salad if you were particularly hungry), but as we both wanted something different. We each ended up having half a pizza wrapped to go. We enjoyed it cold later in the day for dinner and it was just as good then. In addition to the great food and good craft beer selection, it's just kind of a fun place to be. It's neat to be able to watch them making the flatbreads in their big dome-shaped oven and the atmosphere is very relaxed and crunchy, but in a good way. If I'm ever passing through Bedford, Mass again, I'll definitely be stopping in!

Probably the best thin pizza aka flatbread place, that i've tried. Love their organic stuff. Feels a lot healthier than the lot of the cheesy pizzas that you normally get.

Great spot! I had a salad with Goat cheese (very fresh!) and split a large Flatbread with a colleague - my half had Pepperoni, Sausage & Mushrooms (Awesome!!) - Next time it's Pepperoni, Mushroom & Bacon (I found out they had this after I ordered) - Love the brick ovens!

This place is pretty good located in a strip mall in the quite side of burlington. We went there on the coldest night of the winter while it was snowing right before going for snow tubing. The place is nice and the kitchen is nice and open. We ordered while we were waiting itself since we were in hurry. ONce seated we got our drinks and 10 minutes the food showed up too(CORRECT TOO). we were suprised that they actually did take our order and made it on time . It was very good.

Omg! I hated the "pizza" here! Beans and sour cream on my pizza?! I think not! My friends asked me to give this place a chance coz I'm picky about my pizza. Man!! What crap is this! It was birthday lunch for my friend and she loves this place. WHO PUTS BLACK BEANS AND SOUR CREAM ON PIZZA ?????!!!!! Supposed to be organic! Organic my a** !! Organic food is supposed to taste good.... well the organic food I've had is usually delicious. Next up, ice cream and brownie for the birthday girl. YUCCKK!!! The ice cream tasted worse than the weight watchers stuff you get in the supermarket. And if weight watchers tastes better then you know the food was terrible! How can anyone go wrong with ice cream???? It's ice cream for pete's sake!! People in Boston are so weird!! No wonder Flatbread isn't available in NYC! People would stone the damn place!

LMarie C.

The flatbread was yummy! I ordered Jimmy's chicken flatbread. It was topped with corn, black beans, salsa and chicken drizzled with sour cream. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I did wish for a side item...a vegetable or something. There wasn't a true side salad option. There was a selection of fall cocktails that sounded amazing! Tiramisu martini! I would come back just to try that!

Not sure what happened to this place, used to go here all the time and no issues. Lately the service has been lacking however, also their prices have increased significantly. The quality has also gone down with less toppings, can no longer recommend it.

Really great tasting pizza. Just wish our family of 6 could eat here more. Seems like we can only eat here once or twice a year because by the time we are done we have dropped $80 on pizza!! Why so much? Because we usually get 6 sodas, three to four pizzas, 3 salads plus tip. Staff is great really get that fruity, nutty, crunchy vibe from them. :)

This place is outstanding. We drive about an hour for this pizza as we live on the South Shore. Never a bad meal, all of the ingredients are fresh / organic. The salads and desserts are amazing. Delicious delicious pizza!! Absolutely love this place!

Came here with work during mid-day - group of maybe 9. A great place for a group lunch. We were able to use the private room. The space is nice, kind of industrial, lots of windows. The chairs are sort of awkward to maneuver around. I love the salads here - I could eat them all day long. So fresh, so many veggies and the dressing is light and flavorful. The pizza isn't bad either. Ordered a veggie special that had some pepperoniccinis and spinach and other veggies. Was a bit salty, and they forgot the tomatoes which were listed on the board on the pie. Not my favorite, but a co-worker thoroughly enjoyed it. Tried a piece of the Coevolution (one of my favorites) it was up to par. The service was quick and friendly. Everyone was pleased, and I think they will all consider Flatbread Co for other company events.

This place cannot be beat. Excellent organic salad with your choice of a selection of local cheeses, great beer and wine menu with rotating tap, casual atmosphere, and the pizza is always exceptional. Their topping combinations always work surprising well for being so original. Must be why we are here almost every weekend ;)

Becca P.

The food was very good and consistent with other locations I've visited but I wasn't happy with the overall food handling process. I witnessed a waitress wipe down a table so had chemicals on her hand, then did her hair, then was helping move pizzas to different trays. I guess that's the problem with an open kitchen, you can see everything. And I can't be blissfully ignorant anymore to the lack of hand wash procedures here.

Jenny B.

Oh, yum. Stopped here while visiting friends in the area and the pizza, service, and atmosphere is AMAZING. We shared a large flatbread (half Jay's Heart, half Bedford Community) between four people--plenty of food, and I can't decide which half was better. The atmosphere is great, with community service groups' artwork, a big, domed, wood oven, and rustic/hippie decor. But that's totally my thing! My only regret is that I was too full for dessert, because wood oven baked gingerbread sounds amazing. I wish they would open one in Pittsburgh!!
(5)
Annie W.

it's a chain. i usually hate chains. but these guys are really good. the salads were quite fresh and well-executed. the pizzas were interesting and tasty -- not too saucy, definitely not oily. price point was reasonable (~10-15/person if a couple pizzas are split). portions are generous. the lemonade is from a mix but it is served in a ball jar mug. well-intentioned, fresh ingredients, fast. and close to my workplace. i'll be back! by the way, it's a huge space. great for large company functions or whatever you have in mind. the business park exterior is deceiving. it looks funky groovy homey inside with tall ceilings and a country atmosphere. parking is sparse, though, so come early.

George H.

Well done! Despite being a food chain, You have the idealism(concern for the community, environment and care about children), the energy (use or try to use local produce and focus on organics), and the popularity! We had an hour wait in which we decided to eat at the bar! But the stop and the wait was well worth it, given the locality!

The food is great, fresh and taste like heaven. Flatbread gets all there ingredients from local farms. The building is all reclaimed materials. Fun place to sit in front of the brick ovens real nice in the winter to warm you up ! One problem is the noise level is very high they need better sound deadening.

My husband and I love the Flatbread in North Conway so we were beyond thrilled when a new location opened near us. The food is the same delicious Flatbread quality and the service is a little better than the one in NC. We frequently bring our car club here for dinner because it offers a bit of everything for everyone in the group. Great pizza, great beer and a rustic atmosphere with local musical talent.

Kerri Y.

I really love this place. The atmosphere is fun and laidback. The food is definitely delicious- you can tell the ingredients are high quality and fresh. This pizza does not even play in the same arena as a typical pizza place. If you are trying to impress someone - go here. That being said, Be Warned- they make basically one product and they make it well. When you come here you get pizza: there is no other options (well maybe a salad, rolls and dessert are the exception). If you are in the mood for a pasta dish or a chicken entree- go elsewhere as you won't find it here.

The pizza here is always delicious! I tried their jamaican-jerk pork with pineapple salsa pizza special on Sunday and was very very veryimpressed! Jay's Heart and the Flatbread Community special and the Homemade Sausage pizza and the Jimmy's free range chicken options, are all *great* choices. Note, a small here is enough for just one person, and a large is about right for two. The service is a bit laid back and can sometimes be hit or miss (especially on busy days). It really depends on your server). Really wish they would add some kid-friendly appetizers to the menu. My toddler just does not like pizza and was out of luck. They do provide crayons and there are books for kids to borrow and read, so they were at least entertained. I also think wings would taste great in that might brick oven of theirs! I look forward to coming back often. There is often a wait at lunch time and on weekends (but that just tells you that the food here is *that good!*).

Tonya S.

One bite of their brick oven pizza and you'll be spilling OMG vibes. They use all fresh and organic ingredients which is great for their pizzas. The traditional salad with goat cheese was superb and my order of pumpkin pie martini did not only satisfy my pumpkin craving but had a good kick! Great for dates or groups.

I trudged in tonight, exhaustedly pregnant with twins. Despite the wait for tables (30-40 min) they found me a place to sit, got me some water, and were on their way to get me a slice of pizza while I waited when they managed to find a table for my husband and myself. All in less than 5-10 minutes. The manager was really on his game. He got me some herbal tea (his idea - brilliant!) and the waitress had our order taken within minutes. The pizza was delicious as always but it was really their wonderful helpfulness on a night when I was just feeling too tired to take another step that wowed me. This is the only restaurant my entire pregnancy that has really gone out of their way to be helpful and we will be back!!! I just can't say enough good things about these folks.

Michael S.

Excellent ingredients. Wood-burning oven gives the pizza a fantastic flavor. This place has put organic and locally grown on the map for the masses, too. They have the gold standard for thin-crust pizza. The desserts have slipped a bit over the last few years...but otherwise would be 5 stars. Love this place...and it is very kid freindly, too.

Suzy D.

What the heck happened!!!? DINE-IN: 1 star TAKE-OUT: 4 stars I love Flatbread pizza. Delicious. If you're only going to skim this, heed my advice: TAKEOUT. Order out, pick it up. They are a bit of a mess even with picking up pizza, but whatever. Consider how much of a hassle you're avoiding by grabbing food and leaving. Once upon a time, Flatbread was the best. Nowadays, I echo John C's sentiments. The hosts are really weak or altogether unpleasant. It is always crowded. Not your problem, I get it, but the wait times are so unreliable. Then, when you get seated, the service is consistently poor. Either your server is nowhere to be found or always buzzing in your ear. Some of the servers have been there for some time, and I've watched them go from awesome to awful in a few years' time. Oh, Flatbread. Get your stuff together. Delicious pizza. Thumbs down all around to the dine-in experience.

Just had an awesome lunch with the family and tried their daily "carne" pizza, which was essentially Thanksgiving on a flat bread pizza. A yummy blend of turkey, organic sweet potato, spinach, mozzarella and a home made honey mustard drizzle. Try it this season if you can! The kids had a blast coloring and their pictures were added to the menus. All locally sourced and organic, they also have a creative bar menu. Their laid back vibe makes it great for a small or big group outing.

We have been many times and the pizza is always very good. But Sunday night July 14th we were seated near the oven and had to endure the antics of the young lady working the oven. We called her the "Pizza Ninja" because of her martial art like moves and facial expressions. It appeared to be some kind of exhibition on the art of baking pizzas and unlike the guy before her that she relieved. Clearly she is a dedicated worker, the pizza was cooked perfectly and only one baked dessert hit the floor. With all the kids hanging around near the oven area and bench the show had the potential for an accident waiting to happen. Of course we'll be back but no more front row seats near the oven.

Great place. Really good unique pizzas. I'm really a fan of the specials although, their menu leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of helping someone pick a particular pizza. Staff is always friendly and helpful, the amount of flannel and thick rimmed glasses are often numerous and makes me giggle at being surrounded by hipsters.

Great place, and very cool atmosphere. I've been to a few of their locations and this one seemed bigger to me, and not as crowded as the others. Pretty cool that the pizzas are all cooked in gigantic stone ovens. We had a veggie pizza that was really good, especially for the price. Great beer list too...

Fresh. Fun. Delicious. These are just a few words that describes my first visit to this great restaurant! The people working there were awesome; the atmosphere was great; and the food was amazing. 90% of everything is organic and from local farms.

This is an excellent place to bring the family. The staff is very friendly although service can be inconsistent. The pizza is outstanding with rotating specials and my kids love the cheese and herb pizza. They also have an excellent beer selection. This is one of my favorite places to go in the area.

Always good. Cheap, fast, fresh and always delicious. This is my favorite restaurant chain by far, and this is my favorite location. The Reuben Pizza has been my favorite and the Spicy Jalapeno Margarita is fantastic. Sharing a couple of desserts is always a good idea.

I visited Flatbread again today. This time, I went with a large group of coworkers during the mid - afternoon. The staff was helpful in moving a table for us once they realized that not everyone would fit. As for the pizza, it appears that we did not order pick from the menu but instead just told the waitress the kinds of pizza that we wanted. As a result, we had pizza types equivalent to a plain pizza, a vegetable pizza, pepperoni pizza, and a mushroom pizza. The taste was closer to mainstream and it was still very good.

Let me start off by saying that I've been here dozens of times since 2009 and I (and my kids) are massive fans of the Flatbread's chain (Somerville being my now favorite location). As for the Bedford location, I used to think this place could do no wrong. The food was spot on just about 100% of the time...and if it wasn't (they cook with fire...) they were always on the ball with fixing it. And it was (and still is) always slammed, but, thanks to a cozy waiting area and a bar with a nice selection of craft beer (and a call ahead option), I never minded the wait...once you got s seat it was worth it. Fast forward to 2012...things have changed and I'm at a point where I'm not so sure I want to go back. The past couple of visits have have had the same set of issues that just about ruin the experience: 1. Bad host/hostess situation. This place is slammed, I get it...but they bite your head off if you check in on your table. That's not something I normally do (I realize they can't make tables magically appear), but on two occasions, including my most recent visit, they completely forgot about us (apparently one hostess crossed us off and we were never seated). They used to have a buzzer system to track you down, but, according to the manager, was apparently that was too impersonal. Having some high school kid trying to track you down based on memory is clearly not working out. 2. Super rushed service. Hostess seats you with menus. Minutes later the waiter will show up and ask you if you are ready to order. If you don't, prepare to be badgered. And when you do, food comes out super fast (unless, of course, they forget you or serve your pizza to someone else)..oh and if you didn't get a drink at the bar before being seated, you might get your pizza before you get your drinks. And then you'll probably be asked if you are done when you are 2/3rds done with your pizza. The whole blatant turn and burn experience is very frustrating. Hey, at least if you want to eat quick you can do that. 3. Quality of the food. Definitely has gone downhill. Undercooked pizzas, smaller portions on salads, and specials that are poorly thought out and executed. It's just not as good...go to Somerville and you'll see. 4. Ambiance. It's just a mess in there after recent changes. Specifically: A. Takeout in the back makes the dining area crowded and stressful. B. removal of the party rooms makes it very loud and the waiting area less comfortable C. Removal of seats int he waiting area. No longer a cozy place to be. On the positive, I do appreciate their much expanded craft beer draft selection...they definitely seem to rotate more in. In addition, our most recent visit we encountered a host of issues and the manager, Jason, stepped in and took care of things....definitely appreciate that they seem to care. Hoping this place can get things back on track.

Love their pizza. Perfect crust, sauce & cheese levels. Place is very family oriented though! Parking lot is terrible during lunch hour.

Great pizzas, great service!! I love this place. I've tried many different options from their menu and they are all really good. They also have specials and some of them are seasonal so you won't get those all the time. I can pick anything from their menu and I'm sure that its going to be great.

Lauren M.

Best pizza I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh and the pizzas were creative. The only thing I didn't like was no prices on the drink menu. When I asked the waitress she said they were around 10 at the cheapest... Which seemed a little expensive. Also definitely call and make a reservation because it was packed and we had to wait a while. Other than that amazing food and amazing service.

Shannon D.

A great healthy organic alternative o the many pizza places in the area! There pizza's are unqiue, amazing and all while being healthy! Drinks are fabulous and they always have a daily/weekly limited offering of a meat and veg special that is truly unique. They have call ahead seating- either way they are worth the wait! Always will come back for more!

I dunno, I'm not so impressed with this place. I don't feel that it deserves the high ratings some have given. They use good ingredients, but I don't think the pizza equates to the ingredients. I find it lacks in flavor and it's nothing to write home about. It's mediocre at best. The salads could be better as well. The staff is great as they are always friendly. It's kind of a grunge/hippie type of place (staff as well) with an urban rustic look. Let's put it this way, normally when a gem is found, I always wish I could have the recipe of the great dish found. I have not left feeling that I needed any "secret" recipe. It's edible, not disgusting, but blah instead. I think some people are getting confused with the taste of the food and instead are focusing on the fact that they use organic ingredients and that it is on the pricey side. Organic and pricey doesn't mean that it's good.

Best pizza around. Great atmosphere and food. Good to bring the entire family! Love the fact that they use local and healthy ingredients! Wish more places were like this!

This is a great alternative to the original in VT. While the location is strange in a office building the inside is done very nicely and feels like a warm barn setting. The food is great and the services is always very helpful. I love their salads and house dressing. Great for families as you can see and watch the huge pizza oven in the middle of the place. I do recomend you checking it out.

Lisa D.

Yum-o! I like everything about Flatbreads: the decor, the food, the drinks, the desserts. I see a couple of bad reviews for their nontraditional pizzas (which are surprisingly good if you can think of them as 'flat bread') and I agree it's not what you'd expect in NY, but the more traditional items really are quite good. They have a nice bacon and meat pie, and the cheese and tomato sauce choices are nice. They also do a mean ice cream. I samples the gingerbread this week-- scrumptious!

This was my third time eating at Flatbread in Bedford. It always amazes me to walk into the interesting rustic interior in the middle of a corporate office park, the restaurant itside looks great and it's awesome to see a wood-fired oven in plain sight. Definitely not your typical pizza joint! There's a great New England brewed beer selection, but I had to have one of their Martini's, lemon drop martini looked amazing, and I had a Apple Pie Martini, delicious but expensive. Sitting at the bar I also saw them serve a Wachusett Blueberry with fresh blueberries dancing in the glass. We sat at the bar since there was a wait for a table, not enough waiters. The menu is extremely limited - there's just pizza and few variations. It is very good pizza. I love that they use fresh, organic, all from local farms. Unfortunately that leads to higher prices, so this is not a place I eat at regularly. We ordered a large pizza for the 2 of us, veggie on special, with chucks of tomatoes, pesto, roast garlic cloves, feta cheese, and slices of olives. It was wonderful. The service has always been fine and our waitress have always been very friendly, and in this visit the bartender was also very friendly. The 2 of us finished the large pizza, except for 2 squares (little strange the way they cut their pizzas). We were both very full. I have never had a enough room for dessert. Two negatives: The most uncomfortable chairs I ever sat in (wooden slats, no padding). The parking situation is a nightmare, not enough. It's a small lot, shared with offices and another popular lunch spot (Bamboo, also a favorite restaurant).

So close, but not quite American Flatbread, and therefore only 4stars. Seems that after the Flatbread Company and American Flatbread's sordid affair a few years back, this chain went slightly down-market while American Flatbread continued being amazing. (For those of you who haven't tasted American Flatbread, get yourself to Waitsfield or Burlington, VT asap!). Don't get me wrong, Flatbread Company is good. There's a great (local) beer selection and plenty of good vegetarian options. Prices are fair and our wait - even on a busy Saturday - wasn't bad. Service wasn't great as all the servers seemed quite overwhelmed and distracted (pizzas got burnt/misplaced, etc.). But as far as pizza goes, this is the best you'll find in MA or NH. However, if you want a true 5-star flatbread, you must venture to the mothership in Vermont...

Came here on a cold dreary day on the way to Boston. Everything is organic local. Has a good vibe. Also tried the pumpkin beer float (shipyard) and the pumpkin martini.service was very attentive. Liked to open kitchen concept.

Dee H.

Enjoyed the pizzas made with organic ingredients. We ordered a couple of pizzas, each of which were half and half (halves and halves?) The meat one was half Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie and half Pepperoni (no nitrates!). The vegetarian pizza was half Bedford Community and half Vegan. I'm one of the omnivores, and enjoyed the Mopsy's a lot. Service was friendly, simply great, by the host and all of our servers. The place is popular with families on the weekends, and since it is located in a business park, I'm sure it must be quite popular during the weekdays/nights as well. Our server prepared a very nice white sangria for me that packed a punch. Yum! Oh, I can't forget about the organic salad. It was quite scrumptious. I was able to share mine with two others in my party, the portion was so generous.

This restaurant has a hippy feel to it but makes fantastic pizzas. The pizzas are a little different. They are thin crust, and aren't loaded with cheese. I tried the free ranch chicken pizza which had a Mexican taste to it because of the corn topping. I also tried the convolution: olives, mushrooms, capers, etc which gives it a brilliant flavor. Loved it. The place gets a lot of noisy kids though. My roommates on the other hand preferred the oily, loaded with cheese Pizzahut/Dominos style pizzas.. MEH!
(5)
Sheri H.

BEST. Amazing pizza. I always go in starving and think the flatbread looks too thin to fill me up and leave completely full (mainly due to the fact that I can't stop myself). I always try to order a specialty pizza and a go-to pizza (Mopsy's for me). Desert - don't you dare skip the desert. I'm not a desert person but they do it right - simple classics upgraded. Amazing service, these people genuinely love their job and it shows - you can't fake that. For me, this is a good testament to how this business is run. My only wish is that they offered bread stick appetizers. I think that would be a good addition to the menu for those who don't want a salad.

First ever visit, and very impressed. Great choice of beers, generous sampling to find interesting examples, and wonderful thin crust pizza. The whole place is a pretty interesting spectacle, with two blazing ovens, a busy staff and a lively crowd.

I came here for lunch a couple times when I used to work in Burlington. I found the pizza to be alright but nothing exceptional. I did like that they had fresh ingredients and options like goat cheese. It is a thinner crust but it just didn't give the right crunch or depth that I was looking for in a thin crust pizza. I had one of their salads as well with goat cheese and it was pretty good. The lettuce was a blend of various types, which was nice. The service did seem quite slow though but we may have felt like that since we were rushing through lunch. All in all, much better than your fast food chain pizza but Emma's in Cambridge is much better.

The concept of this restaurant is really a good one. Organic, local grown natural food. The biggest problem with restaurants which have mission statements is that they should always make sure that the food comes first. If you check out the website I'm certain you will agree that the pizza depicted there looks like a perfectly made pie. Unfortunately, that was not my experience....well to be accurate....maybe it was because our two pies looked great....they just tasted bad and were dry to the point that they were not worth eating. Having lofty goals of supporting organic farming and using all natural ingredients is not a license to make bad pizza. Additionally, the clientele seem to confuse the idea of a restaurant with a day care center. There was one particular woman walking around behind a barely walking toddler while she ate her pizza.....she and the child stopped at our table and simply stood there for 3-4 minutes while the kid was exploring something on the floor. If you do not know what pizza is suposed to taste like, and you are comitted to average but organically grown food at above average price points and unattended children...then try it out. I thought it was ironic that a place which claims committment to natural and organic food is loacted in an office park with a HUGE environmental foorprint....the most distinguishing feature of the buiding is that you have to drive there and all of the bandana wearing idiots were in SUV's and Mini vans from what I could see. This place aspires to be an organic and natural version of Chucky Cheese's in my opinion except that they don't have the video games or ball pit....they do have bad pizza so I guess they've got that aspect covered. Stay away.

I love this place! So much, in fact, we had our rehearsal dinner here the night before our wedding! Sean helped us to organize - the fixed price for 30 people included ALL you can eat flatbread (we had 4 or 5 choices), salad,soft drinks and brownie sundaes for all. The cocktails and beers are very good (they had a pumpkin cocktail that was especially yummy). The environment was super fun, relaxed and the food delicious as always. And, all of the staff were really helpful (all of this - on a crazy Friday night!)

My spouse describes pizza as one of the major food groups. Good pizza is manna from heaven and, despite the ubiquity of pizza joints, is hard to find. We stumbled upon this place through a search on Yelp. Oddly enough, we've passed the other eating establishments in this complex numerous times (Melting Pot is the one I always notice). Withouth street frontage, this place isn't too obvious. What a delightful surprise! Upon entering early on a Saturday evening, we are confronted by a massive number of families waiting for tables. Luckily, we nabbed the last table for two. I'd never guess that such a funky, home grown interior could be carved out of a suburban office building. The massive wood fired pizza oven takes up a significant corner of the space, perfect on a cold winter night. The menu is limited to basicly, you guessed it, pizza, but with a decent beer selection. I really like the way they touted the connection they have to local farms, too. The proof is in the pizza. We loved it! The bubbles and burnt bits....just like Naples. We enjoyed the two combos we tried: pulled pork and the evening's veggie special with (sorry all of you vegetarians) bacon. We thought there would be leftovers...not. We can see that we will need to be preapred for a long wait on weekends, and lots of kiddies, but it is oh so worth it.

Just got home from Flatbread Bedford. Five of us went for dinner. We ordered 3 pizzas Jay's Heart (no, Jay wasn't working tonight), Jimmy's Free Range, and some sausage one that I forget their clever name for. All 3 pizzas were phenomenal. Weird... when you combine high quality food ingredients in a creative way by people who take pride in their finished product, you get an awesome result. Other restaurants should take note. Iced Tea (unsweetened) was very nice and I tried a Diet Cola that they feature as being from a local business that specializing in soda fountain drinks. I enjoyed both with a freshly cut lemon wedge or two - Our waitress had just picked them fresh off the lemon tree out back. Service was terrific- prompt and attentive with a smile. Wanted to congratulate the waitress on her pregnancy and upcoming baby, but I've done that before and been WRONG about the waitress actually being pregnant. Yeah... it was uncomfortable. Overall, Flatbread Bedford was pretty awesome, even if it does tend to fill up with hippie types. At least the hippies of this generation seem to be okay with using soap and shaving. Bathrooms were moderately clean, but not sparkling. I give Flatbread my highest personal rating of A++. I hope you enjoy the food as much as I did. Good luck.

It's really hard to review this place and not compare it to the other flatbread (the original) in the other burlington (VT) I'll say that everyone who likes this one should go up to Vermont and be pleasantly surprised. That is all for the Dark side of this review. Flatbread Company serves up some good, healthy flatbreads and a good selection of beer. I wish they had more on tap, but they do have a good selection once you consider the bottles as well. As far as I know they don't brew any of their own beer. The wait can get long towards the dinner rush, especially on the weekend. I have been there predominantly for weekend lunches. That last fact may effect this next fact, but I have never been there when there wasn't at least one screaming child. When it's later on and crowded it helps to drown out the noise, but it can be really bad during the lunch rush. All-in-all it is good food, a good show (open stone hearth), and a good time. There are things I would like to nitpick but I can't deny that I keep coming back.

I wish I could give Flatbread's a higher rating, but a few cons take away from delicious and interesting pizzas. 1) For eating in, the large room is often quite drafty. Bring a sweater in the summer, and keep your coat with you in the winter. 2) Service is off and on. A few times with friends, our party has been practically ignored, while other times we've been in and out like there's nothing to it. 3) It's expensive. You do pay for quality, but still, this can not be compared to any old pizza joint, because your wallet will argue back. Now, all that said, the pizza is fabulous. I particularly recommend Jimmy's Free Range Chicken pizza, but I've tried most they're all delicious. Never go for the boring ones here, you're missing out! Fresh veggies and quality cheese and meats- what a combination. Also, if you stay for dessert, wow, the chocolate chip banana bread sundae?? To die for!

In all my 58 years on this planet, I've never been one to routinely go into a bar or restaurant alone. It's just not "my thing". Oh sure, when I travel on business, sometimes, I have no other choice... but around home base? Nada! Until now. My partner turned me on to Flatbread last winter and, now, when I'm cruising home from a job site in the Boston area and run into backed-up traffic on nearby Route 3, I get off at the Route 62 exit and zoom over to Flatbread where, by the way, there's always AMPLE parking BEHIND the building. I LOVE this place! I can sit at the bar, chat it up with the lovely svelte 40ish(?) bartender gal or another friendly patron, enjoy anyone of a dozen REGIONAL and delicios microbrews and dine on organic salads, pizzas, sandwiches and more with most ingredients being locally produced! There are NO television screens! YIPPEE! And the piped-in music always suits my tastes. I like that the place is funky and that the wait and cookstaff are wearing their own duds and not some silly uniforms. I haven't noticed any chairs to be uncomfortable but maybe that's because I always enjoy myself thoroughly there. Gotta love the raised beds veggie gardens lining the sidewalk to the front door, too! The only drawback, here, is the lousy acoustical environment, i.e. it can get kind of noisey in there and hard to hear your dining companion's voice. Other than that...THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!

I was so pumped when I got to come try out this Flatbread location with some women from my gym. Our waitress was amazing and was so great at serving a huge group. We tried their vegan, veggie, and some chicken pizzas, all were incredible and perfect for sharing, I especially loved the vegan pizza. We also got some bloody marys and they can make them spicy and give you jalepenos which was pretty cool. I like that Flatbreads will also give big salads for large groups to share. Their food is organic, local when possible and sustainable, and they can accomodate lots of dietary restrictions, like Vegan and GF. This location was a nice size so I think it would be the perfect place for a group get together!

Flatbreads is great if you're looking for something a little less generic as far as pizza goes. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The inside has some really cool decor and a wood fire oven. The pizza is delicious, and all of the food/ingredients are fresh and organic. Their desserts are fantastic, too. However some things are seasonal (e.g. pumpkin based things, etc.). The whoopie pie(which is amazing) is warmed up fresh in the oven and is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I always look forward to getting that. The price isn't all that bad either. two thumbs up for Flatbreads!

I lied when I said I would be back here soon...it's been almost a year since my last visit. The same friend and I returned here last Sunday hoping and praying for the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It's not on the menu - but they make it for us ANYWAY!!!!! I seriously love this place!

Jenna F.

We waited too long, paid too much and have had better pizza. I have now eaten at this restaurant twice and I can say without hesitation that I do not think I will be back. We were told about a 20 minute wait and waited an hour. The service was very inattentive and the pizzas are priced as if they are made of gold. Half of our party was on a gluten free diet and I cannot recommend the soggy gluten free pizza dough they served us. We were also charged for wine that we did not order. Save your time and money and order delivery.

Cindy K.

After a hearing rave reviews about this place, I was finally able to stop into one of the locations. I'm originally from Jersey and I love my NYC pizza and have just not been able to find anything like it up here. This is still no NYC pizza, BUT it probably just made my list of top pizza places in Boston. It's definitely a different type of pizza, its not greasy or heavy. Also, what's really great is that everything is organic and they locally source the ingredients. Even the drinks! Now that I know this place is down the road from HMart in Burlington, its gonna be hard to not come back!

Kimberly H.

I like this place. I am a big fan of pizza! I love that everything is organic as well. I am a vegan and I also have a gluten allergy so I am very happy that I can eat here safely. Their gluten free/ vegan pizza is pretty good. Only problem is most times I think the pizza person forgets to cook it long enough. It's been very inconsistent. It comes out soggy and floppy. Very hard/ messy to eat the pizza. It happens to me here the most but has also happened in the Somerville location too. I know the local brand of GF crust they use and have used it at my own home in my electric oven. If it's cooked for the correct amount of time it can be eaten like a regular pizza slice sans the mess and the flop/soggy It would be really nice if they offered a vegan cheese option. Also, it would be really amazing if they had appetizers of some sort. Something healthy and light besides the salad.

Kate G.

We had been to the Amesbury location but never to this one until recently. The pizza was scrumptious and the waitstaff was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and process of how everything is made. We got in just before the dinner rush and were able to get a seat within 20 minutes. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed with kids, which is okay considering we had ours with us so we didn't feel like we were intruding on anyone else. Granted here the pizza takes a bit longer to make and the is a bit pricier but it's definitely a good spot to grab dinner or lunch.

G C.

I have wavered between 2 and 3 stars, so I'll be nice and give it 3. I give Flatbread credit for striving for wholesome but delicious pizza and an assortment of beers, but they really seem to have bit off more than they can chew. I've eaten here a few times and while it's usually ok, it's pretty hit or miss in terms of quality. The service and overall experience have gone downhill fast, though. The waitstaff is kind of flaky and disorganized, which turns what should be a fairly quick lunch into an hour or more of waiting and wondering. Some of the furniture is falling apart, so you are likely to sit at a wobbly table with a chair that you're nearly falling out of. The parking situation is a nightmare, an utter nightmare. It's a small lot, shared with offices and another popular lunch spot (Bamboo), and in addition to being small and crowded, it was designed by someone with no sense of efficient use of space. There's a valet if you really feel like going that route at lunchtime. It might be your only option unless you get your timing right or luck out. I imagine this place is probably much better at dinnertime than lunchtime, but I'll probably never find out for myself.

Fresh Organic Local ingredients + wood fired+clay oven baked + friendly servers+ Reasonably priced = Pizza at Flatbread ! So even after living in the neighborhood for some time, I did not know that Flat breads existed. But the day I came to know, there was no looking back. This happened in the spring of 2011. From then I would go there every weekend with my fiancÃ© or my friends or my roommates--whoever was ready to accompany me ;-). And they can confirm- this is no exaggeration. The pizzas are perfectly baked--not too soggy, not to thin; not to cheesy, not too dry. When I eat these pizzas, I can taste all the veggies, herbs, meat and the sauce. So flavorful ! (Unlike some pizza where I experience over dosage of sauce). My all time favorite is Coevolution. Although I would say that they do a good job with the specials too. Loved the buffalo chicken special they had couple of weeks back. Oh, and don't forget to try the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread which they serve with chocolate fudge and ice-cream. Mmmmm..

Christine Y.

This is my all-time favorite pizza place. I love that they use fresh, organic, local ingredients. Unfortunately that leads to higher prices, so this is not a place I can eat at regularly. They serve a great selection of locally (New England) brewed beers - when I got the Wachusett Blueberry they floated fresh blueberries in the glass. Their salad is amazing - not the standard bland stuff you usually get in restaurants. My favorite pizza is the bbq pulled pork - sweet & savory! I've had excellent "daily specials", too. The weirdest success was the corned beef & cabbage. Yup - sounds bizarre, yet somehow they made it taste terrific. Desserts - when we have enough room in our bellies - are scrumptious, too. I'm a gingerbread fan; my husband gets the warmed banana chocolate-chip bread with ice cream.

Craig B.

A different take on "pizza" that is delicious. Don't come in expecting the same old, tired NY style pizza that you can get anywhere (lookin at you, SaraS). Expect different combinations of ingredients than you've tried before, and expect to be delighted. Definitely experiment with ordering custom flatbreads instead of the standard menu, like adding a meat to the veggie specials. Salads are fresh & tasty. Staff is very friendly. A bit loud during peak periods & tight parking are the only downsides.

I went here for lunch with my mom and sister recently and had a great time! The atmosphere might be my favorite aspect of the restaurant and I will totally be going back. I felt like I was in Vermont. The open prep area and wood burning stove are very rustic and cozy aspects. The totally wide open floor plan also adds to the cool and cozy atmosphere. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Our waiter took his time with us and even chatted with my mom for a bit. The food came out promptly and the server was very attentive for the rest of our meal. One of the coolest things about Flatbread is that everything is local and from local farms. They have a list by the prep area of all the farms they get their ingredients from and I recognized all on the list. I love the idea of supporting local businesses and eating organic and locally. I love the idea knowing exactly what I'm eating and where it's coming from. As a drink we all got the hot lemonade which was delicious. So simple yet something I never even thought of. The waiter told us it's just hot water, fresh squeezed lemon juice and a little bit of pure maple syrup to sweeten. It was very refreshing and nice and warm on a chilly, snow afternoon. We ordered a large veggie pizza and a small special which had ham, pineapple and mushrooms (I think). Both were very good. The crust is a little thinner than I usually prefer on pizza (I'm a Regina's girl) and they do cut in into squares which is a little bit of a pet peeve of mine but it's not that big of deal. All in all the pizza was pretty tasty and again, I love the idea of all local all organic. We didn't order booze but the beer list was very impressive. Again a lot of local beers and the server gave us a description of each on the menu. Dessert was ordered by my mom and my sister. My sister got the banana bread with hot fudge and chocolate ice cream. It was delicious. The banana bread was very good but the hot fudge was some of the best I've ever had. It was that real, thick hot fudge, not like the kind you'd get at the grocery store. My mom got the gingerbread with pumpkin ice cream. The gingerbread tasted a little stale to me but it's neat that they heat it up in the brick stove before serving it. All in all I had a great experience and would love to go back again. They have entertainment I think once a week a night (music) so I'm hoping to give that a shot soon!

Jeremy C.

This place has a lot going for it. Organic ingredients, good beer selection, great pizza! The only thing that bugs me is that I think this place tries too hard to evoke the laid back earthy warm fuzzies. I got the feeling that they're trying to be something that they're not (for the purposes of marketing), and that makes me uncomfortable whole-heartedly recommending them. Still, if I am in the area I definitely would go back and I'm happy to give them four stars.

For the last six years this has been the go-to choice for a meal the whole family enjoys, but it's also good for date night! The flatbreads are perfectly thin and crispy and the toppings from local farms are always fresh. I love the Mopsy's flatbread with pulled chicken - excellent spicy BBQ sauce makes it, but even a simply cheese flatbread is delicious. Evenings can get VERY busy, but if you are up for an early lunch on the weekends, there won't be a wait. Also, a fantastic beer selection that changes regularly and excellent options for vegetarians and vegans.

Best Pizza in Boston!!!!! And it's Organic with Locally sourced Ingredients. Pros: The ambiance is mildly festive and laid back. Let's fast forward to the food, shall we? We ordered the Co-Evolution Pizza. At first glance it seemed too thin and average looking. Image aside, the first bite acted as a catalyst into something wonderful. As my teeth were sinking into the soft yet crunchy goodness, the warmth of the pizza from the wood fired oven accentuated the fusion of ingredients; Olives, Red Onions, Rosemary, Red Bell Pepper and Goat Cheese. A part of me was stuck in time and the rest of me was like OMFG!!! (oh my Food God!!!) this is one damn good pizza. Like when Adam first took a bite of the apple, like a first monkey shot into space, like a first plunge into a cool pool on a summery day, like a ______(you fill in the blanks) The reaction to the taste is a sensation to have had at least once. I've seen a book titled "1000 places to see before you die" One should add Flatbread's Co-Evolution Pizza to "1000 things to eat before you die" The Blueberry ale goes well with the Co-Evolution pizza and do save some room for dessert or loosen your belt. The Brownie with Vanilla ice-cream or the Gingerbread with Pumpkin Ice-cream is a must have. And if you're still in a state of food-hypnosis, I command you to have both, be daring, evolve with the food (hence the name of the pizza; co-evolution....just my theory) Decent selection of wines. Bonterra Organic Red wine (Cabernet) is recommended. Nice friendly Staff. Cons: Limited to Pizza, Salad and Dessert. Wish they had more organic food options on the menu like appetizers, chicken wings etc. Need more beers on draft, plus they should add Beer tasting flights.

Came for lunch on a Sunday just as they were opening, so maybe everyone wasn't warmed up yet. Food was fresh and interesting, but the service, while friendly, was lacking. Our order was dropped on the ground before it reached the oven. Add five minutes to clean up and then start remaking our order. Then, they brought out the incorrect pizza (they brought a meat laden pie and a veggie was ordered). So, add another 10-15 minutes to remake the correct pizza. Glad we weren't in a rush. When the pizza did come, it was wood-fired bliss. Crispy crust, a hint of smokiness, and quality toppings. The manager did come over and apologize, as did our server, but it felt mostly like going through the motions. Most restaurants will at least offer to compensate you for the inconvenience, but not here. I expect to pay for what I eat, but gestures go a long way. I want to love this place, because the concept is great and the food delicious, but they have a little way to go on service.

very casual but fun pizza place.... but not your typical place. Lots of seating and even a few sofa's the pizzas are good and they have a good mix of beers on tap. Staff is always top notch and handle any concern quickly. Great place for groups and kids.

As a wheat intolerant pizza lover and a person who absolutely LOVES fresh ingredients and creative flavor combinations, I have to say that this restaurant is by far my favorite all-around restaurant in the state of Massachusetts. I know it's a somewhat of a "chain" with a few locations across the North, but this place is what I consider real-life magic. The gluten free Coevolution pizza is the most mouth-watering pizza I have ever eaten in my entire life (even compared to pizzas eaten when I was able to eat wheat), and my wheat-obsessed partner even swears up and down that they consistently have the best pizza, no matter what style you choose to order. That said, no matter if you are gluten-free or not, the greatest recommendation that I can offer is to try their Pumpkin Whoopie-Pie. That thing is still the greatest thing that has ever been near/on/in my face. The ambience is pretty awesome at the Burlington location as well, and it's in everyone's best interest to try their items!

LOVE this place. LOVE their pizza. LOVE their staff. I stop in for dinner just about every Friday - they have new specials every week, aside from their regular (amazing) menu choices - and they have seasonal cocktails and martinis that are delicious too! Great atmosphere, fresh organic ingredients... if I could give more than 5 stars I would!

My second attempt with this establishment. I find them to go very, VERY light on the sauce/cheese/toppings. If I am paying $17 for a pizza, there should be plenty of toppings, and they should be evenly distributed over the pie. I know other people rave about Flatbread, but I am done with them.

Hubby & I came here for our niece's birthday dinner & since we were very early, we sat at the bar. The bartender was quick to offer a drink & friendly chat. When the rest of the family arrived ~ an hour later without a reservation, the manager quickly took care of us...making certain we had a table right away. The food here is good - organic, local, & fresh. The pizza is great & there are enough options to feed everyone. The brownie sundae is delicious - oozing with chocolate sauce & vanilla ice cream. It's big enough to share.

Finally checked this place out, well worth it. Great beer selection (we went on the night of the Maine Beer Company tap takeover) and good prices all around. Really fresh organic salads and the "pizza" is simply delicious. Open floor plan and yet a cozy vibe. Highly recommended.

We go frequently with the family, and as my daughter said tonight, "it never gets old". Love the open atmosphere, the wood fired pizzas made with local organic ingredients, and the overall coolness of the place. Jay's heart pizza is a great standard. we also tried the specials. A vegetarian - pizza with Mediterranean flavors, as well as the Buffalo chicken pizza. We will continue to go, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

My coworkers and I fondly call this place "Hippie Pizza" and go for lunch fairly frequently. Good enough that I would recommend a drive out of the city just to try it. The main deal of the restaurant is that everything is locally produced, or organic, or no-preservative, or free-range, or cage-free... sometimes all of the above. And it's delicious. They always have a daily meat ("carne") special and a daily veggie special. Sometimes the combinations they come up with are quite creative. But again, it's always delicious. The wood-fired oven is for real. Sometimes you can taste/feel a bit of the smoke, or it comes off on your fingers as you eat. It's not a bad thing though, in my mind. It gives the crust a very distinctive crispiness, especially around the edges. Did I mention that the result was delicious? The waitstaff will occasionally take a while coming by the table when you want something, but they're generally very friendly. You can see things being prepared in the same large, open room where you eat, and the decor is rustic. Like good pizza? Come here. Like ecologically sustainable food? Come here. Like being as wasteful as possible in your consumption of resources? Well... come here in a Hummer and then throw a piece in the trash or something. Just give it a try.

This place used to be one of my favorite places to meet colleagues for lunch on 128. It was also on the way home from Hanscom on Rt 62, so it was a good take-out option. Then the service on take out became slower and slower, and I found myself standing around for twenty to thirty minutes after I arrived (after ordering 20+ minutes earlier by phone) before getting my pizza. So I took a break. Today I decided to give it another shot, and I was another long wait (after the 15-20 minutes quoted when I placed the takeout order). Ten minutes after my arrival my first pizza arrived. A few minutes later I get told the other pizza had been torn going into the oven, and had to be remade. An acceptable excuse if the first pizza hadn't been late as well. The thing was they were not busy at all. There was one couple in a booth, and one individual at the bar. Two pizzas (not identified as multiple attempts at mine) went in and came out of the oven, and into the trash. The employees were a waitress, a hostess, two chefs working the oven, one behind the counter, and a manager*. That sort of service to customer ratio should not result in slow, cold pizza. I miss the old Flatbread. I wish they'd get their act back together. [*] I will give the manager credit. He did apologize and try to make things right, but I'm not there to try to score free food. If you want to make it up to the customer, stop the pattern of slow, poor service.

The Flatbread experience was very enjoyable! First of all, it smells heavenly walking through the door. It's a nice atmosphere, very relaxed, but it's pretty upbeat too. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the menu to us and what went into the dishes. I had the organic salad with parmesan cheese and berry vinaigraitte to start, which was delicious. Everything at Flatbread is organic and local, two very fantastic pluses! I ordered the Vegan flatbread for my meal, which is a pizza with tomato sauce, garlic oil, onions, mushrooms and olives. Very tasty. And although I didn't get dessert, my fellow dining companions did: behold the brownie sundae. I had a small bite of the maple syrup-sweetened whipped cream that came with it, and oh boy. I could have eaten an entire bucket of that alone. I will definitely be returning!

Flatbread Pizza offers a variety of organic pizzas. All ingredients, toppings, and sauces are top quality certified organic products. The flat bread style, thin crust offerings are beyond delicious. The beer and wine are typically regional offerings from local breweries and wineries. However they do offer a number of other options. The homemade lemonade is a classic! The salad topped with organic chicken and house dressing is unbelievable. Don't forget to try their to-die-for brownie and ice cream dessert!! The staff at the Burlington location are fast, friendly and aim to please. The atmosphere is relaxing and the food is great. You won't be disappointed.

This is one of the best pizzas I've had in Boston! The place was empty so we were seated right away. Everything is organic (and I do mean everything), so if that's not your bag, then you aren't going to enjoy it. The menu boasts salads, various pizzas and dessert, as well as a decent wine list. They have some unusual drinks, such as hot lemonade (I wasn't adventurous enough last night to try that, but it didn't sound very appealing). They have a selection of herbal teas and locally produced drinks, such as root beer (which I didn't really enjoy). My friends and I split the salad. It was delicious. We got the blue cheese on the side and it was enough for 3. As for entrees, we all got pizzas. They have a selection of non-tomato sauce ones as well as traditional, and gluten-free crusts. That was cool. I had the jay's heart with fire roasted red peppers. It was soooo good! Thin crust, perfectly baked, and had the right amount of herbs. My friends got the pepperoni and the fennel sausage. Both enjoyed theirs. The meal was great, as was service. Our waitress was very friendly and explained everything perfectly. Our bill came out to be abou $12-$13 each, so that is pretty good for pizza and salad. If you are in Bedford, do check it out.

Went here because a vendor suggested the place. Loved it! The ambiance is super laid back, friendly and cozy. Chalkboards everywhere with specials. I especially loved that they served veggies straight from the garden and local farmer's market. I ordered a no boundaries salad with pulled pork and a heirloom veggie pizza with herbed ricotta dollops. Both were fantastic. The pulled pork was juicy and tender. I loved the crust on the pizza. I just wish I saved room for dessert! Would love to visit this place again when I'm in the area.

Nice pizza. They have brick oven. And they even grow vegetable outside the restaurant. They also have specials once in a while with new ideas. One special that I tried had sweet potatoes as the topping. It sounds weird, but it turned out to taste good.

The service at this location doesn't even deserve one star! My fiancÃ© and I were seated, and sat - unnoticed - for 20 minutes!! We had even patiently waited while it took nearly 10 minutes for a booth to be cleaned. The lunch crowd had just left, and the restaurant was not crowded; there seemed to be plenty of employees milling around, but sadly none of them took an interest in taking our order. A man who had been seated 10 minutes before us was already enjoying a drink and a salad, while we just sat there, completely ignored. We felt invisible. Two waitresses had a lovely chat for 10 of those minutes - one even making eye-contact with me (she just looked away and continued yakking with her friend). About 10 minutes in, a waiter(?) asked the people at the booth behind us if they needed anything. We got his attention and told him we hadn't been approached by anyone to take our order and asked if we could order drinks. He hesitated, looking around (I guess he wasn't our waiter), but took our drink order. Another 10 minutes later...no drinks!! My fiancÃ© was fuming and said he'd had enough and got up to leave. As we were walking out, the girl who I guess was supposed to wait on us appeared from somewhere (she must've been hanging out in the "back"), and said "sorry" (really???!), and the guy who seated us and a female hostess just smiled and said something cheery (REALLY????!!) - it was surreal! It was like they were stoned and couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces!! It was so bizarre that I felt like Alice in Wonderland - don't know how else to describe it! My fiancÃ© just walked right out, but I stopped to explain to the hostess why at least WE weren't smiling (she obviously couldn't figure out that something was wrong on her own - or maybe just didn't care). I told her we had eaten there before and LOVED the food and were so looking forward to more meals there during our stay in Bedford. We purposely picked a hotel near Flatbread because we loved it so much the previous year. She asked if I wanted to speak to the manager and went to get Joe, who apologized and offered lunch on the house. At least Joe wasn't smiling, but it was too late to fix things (my fiancÃ© was already in the car and still fuming) and we chose to eat elsewhere: there is NO EXCUSE for "service" that horrible! That has never happened to us, even in the most crowded of restaurants. I don't know what was going on, but we heard complaints from others who live in the area, also stating that the service was awful. I'm guessing that Joe is a poor manager who is either oblivious to what is going on in his restaurant, or simply allows it, and he apparently has employees who take full advantage of the situation. I hope the owners of The Flatbread Company see this. I could not find a corporate email. I would give 5 stars for the food and cocktails, assuming it's still as good as it was last year, but I never got to have any of it thanks to the non-existent service.

Definitely was not expecting this in Burlington, was very pleasantly surprised. There isn't a ton of variety on the menu, unless you want to build your own pizza, but that's a-ok with me as the choices are nice and unusual. Delicious combinations, cooked really well. They have live music on Wednesday nights. That said, I'm not sure if this place is really a date spot. At least when I went, there were a lot of groups and families. It's more upscale than most family restaurants, that's for sure. I came here with coworkers and the price and atmosphere are perfect for an after-work meal. The beers on tap are local and fantastic.

Pamela S.

Love this place, but hated the three young boys who were seated next to our table yesterday who never actually sat in their seats. They shrieked and ran around their table and the long table that was behind the one my coworkers and I sat at, they walked behind our chairs and played with the plant display which was three feet away from me. Our waitress had to say something to them about how that wasn't a good toy and that there were books up front if they were interested (they were not.) I felt sorry for her because it was not her job to try to deter the kids--it was the job of their ignorant mother and grandmother who sat there eating their pizza with their backs turned and completely ignored them! Not the restaurant's fault by any means but please parents, watch your kids or don't bring them out to eat where they can disturb other paying patrons. If I hadn't been with people from work I seriously would have said something to the dumb mother. Now that that's out of the way, I love the food at Flatbread. Just wish the parking situation was a little better.

I only ordered takeout so that may be the reason the pizza wasn't as great as it could've been. Ordering to go means to lose the fresh flavors, texture and temperature and I ended up having to microwave the dang thing so it was partly my fault. Good pizza microwaved should still taste good and it was just ok for me. I ordered the Homemade Sausage pizza expecting something awesome, but in the end I didn't even finish the whole box. Next time I'll be sure to eat in and hope that will save my 3 star review

Chris C.

I have been to the location in Burlington, VT before and they are both awesome. I really like the whole local and organic program they have going on. I like to support places that are run like this in hopes that the rest of them catch on. I had the cheese and herb with sausage. It was awesome. On top of the great pizza they have a good selection of beers and drinks as well. Cause we all know nothing goes better together than pizza and beer. I skipped desert, but the couple I saw go by the table looked pretty good. Guess I'll have to try one next time.

Michelle H.

Food was good - if you've ever been to American Flatbread up in VT, its a pretty similar pizza. The atmosphere is pretty rustic/industrial. That means rough edges that absorb none of the sound so it was loud even though it was only half full. Not my cup of tea but the food is good enough to try out another pizza or two. The service, though... Friendly, very helpful and a great attitude but they were understaffed on a Thursday night. That is the only reason I can think of to explain why I was able to order as soon as the waitress arrived at the table. It seemed like we were waiting forever to meet her. Once we put our order in, it was pretty quick to arrive. I enjoyed the salad (super simply dressed but it was just enough to coat the lettuce) and while I didn't love the pizza (Hand-made Sausage), I want to go back to try some of their reds. I like a little more goo-iness to my pizzas but this place is super 'back to basics', following the local foods movement and seem to be very authentic to the no preservatives movement so everything is super fresh. Will I be going back: Yes, I want to try other pizzas. No, I probably won't be dining in. I probably won't get the sausage pizza again but there were plenty of specialty pizzas to try on the menu so I'm excited for those!

I just tried out Flatbread Pizza Company for the first time, and I loved it! I had one of the specials for the night... a taco pizza with cojita and mozzarella cheeses, chorizo, pineapple salsa and tortilla chips. Very, very good! For dessert I had the apple cider donut sundae, also a special. Fresh whipped cream, vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce served over a warm cider donut. Mmmm.... The overall feel of the place was great. Very casual and fun. A band was playing live while we ate (Beatles covers), and being a huge dork I loved watching the big wood fired oven. My only complaint (which kept me from a 5 star) was the chairs. They were very uncomfortable, though as my wife says that's because I don't sit up straight ;)

Kelley T.

Omg this place was freaking fantastic. First of all I never order salads in restaurants but their organic salad is really delicious and the seaweed in it was a really unique touch. I love that they use organic ingredients, everything tasted so fresh. We got the sausage and the cheese pizzas. The flatbread makes for a tasty thin crust. Trendy setting in the restaurant, RESERVATIONS A MUST - this place gets packed.

nital p.

Love this place and am happy to have an organic meal, as always. Our waitress was Ashley - she was nice enough but kinda blah. whatever. I got the Carne special of the day which was italian sausage ( didnt know it would be so sweet) with yellow and green peppers and tomato sauce. excellent except the sweetness really surprised me. i like the acidity of tomatoes and you didnt really get that with this pizza. but hey, for some people that might be plus. the food came out pretty quick too! i'm definitely a fan. i think the total for the meal for 3 flatbreads (Small) was $30. Can't complain, one flatbread usually lasts me two meals :)

Paul B.

I've been to the Flatbread in Burlington many times, since it's my ten-year-old daughter's favorite restaurant. The pizza is good, but there are very few options. We also like the organic salad, which is fairly basic but tasty. The menu is extremely limited - there's just pizza and few variations. The service has always been fine. My main complaint is that it's very expensive. The pizza is something like $9 for a small or $15 for a large, a salad is another 7 or 8 bucks, a glass of wine is $8.50. Going with just my wife and daughter, we'll end up spending $70 plus tip, while bringing home a small amount of leftover pizza.

Jenny W.

I can't believe I just went here for the first time last night! I loved the one in Burlington Vermont and finally made it here. We sat at the bar since there was a long wait for a table. For dinner my boyfriend and I split the organic salad (with amazing goat cheese and an awesome dressing) and the pizza special of the night which was buffalo chicken. I love all things buffalo chicken and this was the BEST buffalo chicken pizza I have ever had. The crust was amazing and thing but the best part was the homemade ranch dressing on top and the chicken which was the perfect hotness. Yum!

Kyle S.

My parents took me here while I was home on break, and it was delicious! We went for lunch time, and were seated right away. The atmosphere of the place is cool--very rustic, and the kitchen is completely open, along with the clay oven where they make the pizza. I got a sausage pizza, which was excellent. Apparently, all of their ingredients come from local farms, and everything tasted fresh. The crust is the star of the show, however--I could've just eaten that and I would've been happy. It's nice and crispy on the outside, but the inside is super soft--delicious! While I didn't have any beer when we went, it looked like they had a nice selection of localish varieties on tap. I would go here again in a heartbeat--if you're looking for pizza while you're near the Burlington Mall, definitely check Flatbread Company out.

Hilary C.

Great beer list, fantastic fresh salads, yummy pizza straight out of the wood oven. My friend and I stopped in for lunch on a frigid cold day and got a table right near the fire. They did a really nice job of creating a toasty ambience, even though the restaurant is in an old office building. Fantastic. Waitress was knowledgeable about their extensive beer menu and provided fantastic service. We split a small pizza and each had a salad and a beer. $15/ea was a little steep for lunch, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I read the reviews and have been wanting to try this place but it is quite a hike from my house. Today I was in Nashua, NH and decided to swing by for a takeout pizza and check it out. Great, fresh, positive vibe. Staff are super friendly. Pizza is made before your eyes in an amazing stone oven in the middle of the room. Everything is fresh and ORGANIC. One suggestion: add a vegan dessert to the menu, please! Pizza lovers know the secret to great pizza is the crust -- theirs is superb. Crispy with nice texture and flavor. Toppings were superb. I had the vegan pizza (tomato sauce, kalamata olives, mushrooms and carmelized onions). Deee-lish! Highly recommended for non-vegans as well as a low-cal alternative to pizza with cheese. Clean, spacious, comfy, friendly, tasty, and reasonably priced. A big winner worthy of many special trips back for an eat-in experience.

Mad C.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but the pizza here is simply delicious. Menu has salads, pizzas, and dessert. If you are someone who must have bread, or apatizers, then go in knowing they don't have em That doesn't really seem to matter though, just split a salad. In fact, one large pizza by itself is usually perfect portions for my wife any myself. Decent wine and beer selection, but you can't order anything at the bar? Not sure what they are going for, but you can only sit at the bar if you order dinner there. All the ingredients are organic and all natural, and it comes through in the food. YUM

Jeremy B.

The pizza is very underwhelming. I was highly unimpressed with their combinations and the taste of a few of their pizzas. Sure, sure, it's organic and all....but I guess if you want good flavor, you need to go un-organic. The restaurant itself is nothing to write home about. The menus are lackluster and really dont offer a good variety. I wish I could write more about the pizza, but I guess the build up and everyone saying great things about it make my expectations high. I was highly dissapointed. You're better off going to the local pizza shop and getting a pizza that actually tastes good.

Dirgni S.

This is my favorite pizza place now. It is a thin-crust pizza, which I love. The salad is also excellent. I love that they use all natural and locally grown produce. My only complaint is that the waiters come by too often and ask if "everything is OK". Arrrrrg. They interrupt your conversation to ask this. Once is enough! After that they should just drift by now and then so if there is a problem the customer can say, "Excuse me" and get the problem resolved. Too many restaurants confuse this constant pestering with good service. The wait staff here is very nice, so I hate to complain, but this is one of my pet peeves. Edited to remove a star because they are still doing the "is everything OK" type thing ad naseum. Yesterday, I had literally just put the first forkful of salad in my mouth, when the waitress zoomed in and asked, "How's the salad?" Well, I don't know. My taste buds haven't had a chance to send a message to my brain yet. GO AWAY!

I went to this organic pizza joint for lunch about a week ago. It gave me kind of a weird "everybody here is trying really hard to be granola" vibe. I spent some time out in Seattle where this is the norm and it really did bug the hell out of me. I am not really into this whole deal where people think they should get a frigging medal because they are crunchy. Enough already - take a shower and shave your legs every once in a while. But I digress. The food here was pretty good. They have a menu that seemed like it had about a dozen options for lunch, and then they had two specials. That day I tried both the veggie special which was cool because I am a big fan of artichokes, and the meat special, which was sweet because meatballs make everything better. They were very proud of themselves for using local organic produce. I really could care less as long as it tastes okay. The drinks were weird. I got a "hot lemonade." It tasted just like it sounds - like lemonade, but hot enough to burn your mouth. No other word to describe it but weird. Not in a bad way, but once again - I just felt like they were trying too hard for that alternative vibe. They did seem to have a good selection of micro brews, so maybe I'll have to go there after work and see if the waitresses look less crunchy after a few beers. Price was decent - $13 for a lemonade and a large single person pizza. Get there early - lunch rush was crowded and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. Service was a bit slow at times. All in all, I'll go back. Maybe I'll buy some sandals and grow out my hair to fit in there.

Went there for lunch on Sunday, it wasn't too crowded and we were quickly seated. Ordered a couple beers and a salad while waiting for our pizza. I ordered a sausage pie with pepperoni and GF selected a vegetable pizza. I enjoyed watching the guys make the pies in the wood fired ovens. The food was good, nice thin crust and plenty of toppings. Service was was also good, the servers brought out food in a timely manner and quickly refilled our glasses. I would like to try some of the other pizzas, interesting selections. The crowd was very laid back and people seemed to enjoy sitting around talking...a nice relaxed environment. They also have a room for private functions.

An hour wait for THIS? Flatbread Company confirms all the cliches about the dearth of quality restaurants in the suburbs. The pizza is well made and perhaps if you treat this as a takeout experience, that's all that should matter. But dining in, the decor resembles a cross between Plaster Funtime and Trader Joe's, and the ersatz "peace/love/'60s" imagery seems to come straight out of the corporate office. The servers mini course on the local origins of your produce add up to an ordinary salad. Desserts which are described as straight out of the oven seem re-heated and uninspired. Compared with, say, Bertucci's, you get a superior pizza. But as an overall dining package, Flatbread Company is ordinary and surprisingly pricey for what you get.

Catherine H.

Went in with 3 friends for dinner. We each ordered a personal size pizza, and shared. All three pizzas were fantastic, and more than enough food for all of us. We had the bbq pork pizza, a taco like pizza, one with onions and mushrooms, and the daily special of pesto veggie. Each pizza was so different, I don't think I can choose a favorite. I would also HIGHLY recommend the seasonal dessert of warm donuts with ice cream. Soooo good. Our waitress was really nice as well. I will definitely be back.

This place is really fantastic. You know how when you eat your average pizza ( ie. Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc) , afterwards you have that over stuffed feeling like you just gorged on a block of melted cheese (which, let's face it, you probably did if you eat the run of the mill pizza)? That NEVER happens when you eat flatbread's pizza. Its really great tasting pizza, and you're getting all natural, locally grown, organic food. Its pretty much the only pizza I'll eat if I'm just eating in the area. Go there and enjoy!

Morgan W.

Great pizza... Even if you don't regard pizza as a major food group. I personally go for the simple in menus, and this is pretty simple: salad, pizza, and a few desserts. They're even simplifying the beer menu by eliminating bottles in favor of more taps... And they have an excellent beer selection. The focus is a winner here: the pizza is really, really good, with lots of high quality ingredients and a focus on local stuff. Pizza for the kiddies and good beer for the adults. That is a real winner in my book.

It's a concept place - freshly made pizza in an oven you can walk/sit by, casual seating, microbrew beers and wine - and the concept actually works! They have cool waitresses who complement the atmosphere and food very well.

this is the must go to place for organic pizza with local fresh ingredients. always get one of the specials. they really come up with some great and interesting combination's. small but great beer selection, with changing options. the oven is right in the room, so you can see your pizza being made.

I currently live in New York and although NYC pizza is king, I will always regard Flatbread as some of the best pizza I've ever had. The product is spot on from the toppings, the cheese, the sauce, right down to the crust. It's a light pie that is absolutely delectable. It's not greasy like some of the other junk that calls itself pizza (Divito's/Pizza Hut) and it truly is delicious. The atmosphere is great as well for those looking for something beyond the food. The rustic feel is great and the oven is located right in the dining area, as well as the kitchen. Whenever I visit MA (originally from Billerica) I always make a trip to Flatbread to satisfy my craving. I've had many great slices out here in NY (Lombardi's and Bleecker Street Pizza at the top of the list) but Flatbread will always be number 1 in my heart and stomach.

Really, really, really good. But the parking lot at the Bedford location is a nightmare.

Rustic, homey, open atmosphere with a giant wood fired oven and a small bar. Instead of "Pizza", everything is referred to as "Flatbreads". The first set of items you see are "flatbreads" without sauce which I thought was odd and slightly confusing being the first thing presented on a menu at a Pizza joint. All ingredients are organic and they pull no punches in letting you know. We ordered the Nitrate Free Pepperoni Flatbread. It was just enough for 2 people, but one was a woman. If 2 men are going to feast you may want to upgrade in size. The pizza was crisp and all ingredients tasted great. I was surprised at the amount of grease on the pizza seeing as though the cheese is supposed to be fresh, but it didn't hurt the taste. It could have used more sauce as well. We went on a Saturday afternoon at about 1 PM and it was astonishing how many young children were there. With about 15 of the tables being occupied by patrons, 8 or 9 had very young children(under 4) with them. If you have small children that you can't control and want pizza, there is a Chuck-E-Cheese right down the street. One baby was crying almost the entire time and really hurt my experience, but I recommend the food anytime.

This restaurant is quickly becoming a regular haunt for me and my husband. Sometimes the waitstaff keep you waiting for a bit, but they're usually very friendly, and the food is fantastic. I love that their food is organic, and most of the ingredients are from local farms as well. My favorite off their menu is the Bedford Community Flatbread (basically mixed veggies), but I almost always go for one of their specials because they're usually amazing. The lemonade is also really tasty (sweetened with maple syrup), and the brownie sundae dessert is always delicious. I love the open design of the place, and the kitchen is kept very clean because you can see everything! The decor can seem a bit silly, but you just have to go with it.

Flatbread Co. uses all natural cheeses, meats and vegetables to make otherwise standard combos into delicious thin crust, wood-fired pizzas. The crust is the best part, light and crisp, and the toppings came in good proportions to each other and were very tasty. All in all, an excellent pizza, but a somewhat small menu takes away slightly from my review. Both pizzas we tried were delicious, far better than just combining those ingredients at your run of the mill pizzeria, but I would have liked more interesting options to choose from off the menu before creating my own. Nothing against mushrooms and onions, but it's not really an unheard of pizza combo. That said, I'll certainly be going back to sample what I hear is a rotating menu.

Boring but expensive salad, skimpy toppings on pizza. We recently ordered a sausage pizza here. The pizza literally had one tiny piece of sausage. Disappointing. Another time we asked for more cilantro on our pizza. The server came back and said "sorry, we're out of cilantro." I think he should have warned us they were out when he was taking our order. Good beer and desserts.

I loved this place. I went in for a late lunch around 2:15pm. The staff were very attentive taking time to describe the specials and the beers on tap. I had a Carne Asada Pizza with carmelized onions, peppers, mushrooms, and 4 cheeses - it was really awesome - very fresh and delicious. I liked the look and feel of the place also - very relaxed.

I was really excited to try this place because it is right next to my office and has all natural, all organic food. While the pizza was pretty good and the atmosphere was a nice change from the strip malls that surround it, I probably won't go back for lunch because it just doesn't work as a quick, inexpensive workday lunch. The small pizzas all costs about $9, which is a lot to spend on a lunch for me. My main complaint though is that the servers were pretty flaky, in an annoying, inefficient way. Examples: - There was some confusion and debate between 2 servers as to who would get to serve our table, so we ended up getting a somewhat exhaustive discussion of the menu options from 2 different people. One or no overview would have been fine. - They burned my friend's pizza, brought it out with an apology, and then said they'd make her a new one. Fine. But our waiter actually didn't know any of this and came by a couple times, asking "everything look good??" - It took our server 15 minutes to bring a drink refill (again, fine), but walked by every couple minutes, saying "I'll be right back with that refill!!"

Read all the yelp reviews which don't usually fail me but this time not good. Called at 4:37pm asking if there is usually a wait at 5pm and was told no, but will add me to the call ahead seating. We arrived at 5:05pm to find that we were not on their list. The hostess then said, "I will add you and trust that you are telling the truth, there will be a 10 min. wait." We said ok and ended up waiting for 30 mins. Server nice but not as attentive as I would have liked. Our bev. glasses were empty & never got offered refills. Food came and was so, so, edible but nothing to rave about. Restaurant had big bulky menus with little options to choose from. Kitchen seemed chaotic. Could hear and see girl lifting pizza asking if it was burnt. Noticed tables around ours had slow service as well. Atmosphere noisy, felt like I was screaming at my husband entire time. However, great for our loud, cranky, hungry 3 yr old as no one could hear him fussing. Casual, rustic (& that is being nice) atmosphere. If you are looking for great pizza with quality ingredients who also support local farms and ingredients, try Stone Hearth Pizza! Hands down, 10 times better. Will not be returning to Flatbread in Bedford.

We went here last night and had a fabulous dinner. They have yummy salads with a delicious dressing. We split two small pizzas - the veggie special and the sausage. DELICIOUS!! We also split a dessert - chocolate chip banana bread...served warm. The decor of this place is totally cool - I can't wait to go back again.

gluten free PIZZA! rented a zipcar to get out there and it was well worth it. you can watch your pizza being cooked in the brick oven - it reminded me of a place in perugia, italy. the ambiance of the place is fabulous. everything is organic and they are very flexible and knowledgeable about food allergies.

James E.

Just had lunch again at Flatbread with my wife. The service was prompt and extremely courteous, the wait minimal, and the pizza absolutely the best I've ever eaten. And that says a lot since I am a pizza fan and have eaten the best available in New York and San Francisco - both places where absolutely fantastic pizza can be found.

Winnie Y.

My friend and I came here for lunch based on the reviews we read on Yelp. It was a very cute little place with a bit of the Northampton MA feeling. The pizza was good, we ordered the pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The only thing that I wasn't too crazy about was the pepperoni. It looked and tasted more like a sausage to me. The prices were reasonable and it looked like a kid friendly place.

Solid thin crust za's. I wasn't blown away by any of them, but all of the 5-6 pizzas we ordered for our group were pretty tasty. Nice selection of beers on tap. Fairly limited wine list. Loud and hectic atmosphere. The night that I was dining, there were lots of families with young kids doing what young kids do best. We must have got there at the right time, because we only waited about 5 minutes for a table. But on our way out the line was insanely long and I'm guessing folks were waiting 30-40 minutes or more.

Eric B.

Pizza (ok, technically flatbread) made with local ingredients, interesting toppings (try the Mopsy's or the chicken Alfredo, which is my favorite special) phenomenal drinks (the molten margarita with muddled jalapeÃ±os and freshly lemon juice is terrific) a nice selection of local beers (order a Seadog blueberry and you get a spoonful of blueberries AND a donation is made to whichever monthly animal charity is on the chalkboard above the bar.) I think that's what really sets Flatbread apart. Wednesday's they have live music, which is pretty good, too. The food is really good, but the staff here sets it apart from anywhere else since they really have their hearts in the right place. They have charity fundraisers every Tuesday night for some local cause, plus the monthly animal charity, and Joe, Stephanie and Charmaine greet almost everyone by name.

Came in here lastnight with my girlfriends for a birthday dinner- Very family/child friendly so don't go looking for a romantic night We ordered 5 pizzas and they were all delicious. The salad and salad dressing was also very tasty I will definitely return when I'm in the mood for a good fresh thin crust pizza My only complaint is the bartender who was extremely rude to my friend. She first laughed at her and said there's no way you are 21 (she's 28!!) then after checking her ID she ordered a martini straight up and the woman laughed at her again?? Not sure who teaches the bar staff but they might want to give them proper ways to treat the customers. Enjoy your pizza- disregard rude young staff!

Corrin W.

In one word: Yum! The pizza is fresh and delicious. The service was great. Drinks were delightful. I was not pleased with the selection of appetizers. They don't have any... Only salads. We ordered two pizzas and unfortunately they came out 15 minutes apart. We were done with the first before the second even came out...which was fine because we were splitting them but would have been terrible if we weren't. Also the place was overwhelmed with kids which was annoying. Kids running around like little wild things. I understand that mgmt can't really help how parents supervise their young, but perhaps they should have toys or puzzle games to keep waiting families occupied.

Got takeout from FlatBread for the first time because it was close to the office. Pretentious and overpriced and worst of all the pizza did not taste good. $22 for a large "sausage" and "pepperoni" pizza. The toppings were shreds of sausage and shreds of pepperoni, and the sausage was sickly sweet. $11 for a small cheese pizza which weighed about as much as a slice that you would get from your local pizza place. The crust resembled the cardboard takeout box. Speaking about the takeout box - it was decorated with pretentious prose about "Nurture" and "Heal". How about "Taste" and "Value"? I guess they are targeting a certain demographic - if you want real pizza skip Flatbread. PS - there was also a bit of a safety issue - they have an open hearth oven in the dining room where the pizzas are made. I guess that is part of the "ambience", but I saw many small (less than 5 year old) kids playing right in front of the oven unattended, within arms length of the open hearth. Where are these kids' parents?

Hipster restaurant meets the burbs. Live music during the week. Organic and super fresh ingredients featured throughout the menu (during the summer they are growing their veggies outside of the restaurant!). Incredible pizza combinations. Our favorite regular pizza is the punctuated equilibrium. Every special we have had there is truly special and has been very good. They aren't using items they need to get rid of, they are using items that are in season that week! Their full service bar is excellent making delicious drinks. Beer selection, chocolate martini, hard lemonade is all great. One downside is the price for a pizza is very high. Usually 18 or 19$ their large pizza is barely enough for two hungry people because it's flatbread. It's still cheaper than most other dining options and just as delicious as anywhere else. Also one time out of several visits we did have one burned pizza and it was not good (very busy saturday night).

Rob R.

Stopped here when all the Mall restaurants were busy. Someone said the atmosphere was hippy/rustic and I think that's exactly right. The ingredients were fresh, and the combinations were very creative. Everything was tasty. I think our favorite was the sausage and mushroom. Coffee was decent, service was good. We plan on going back to try more on the menu.

I am obsessed with this place. I go every time that I can. The pizza is the best I've ever had. Nothing else compares to their Jays Heart pizza. I also love how they utilize organic and local ingredients. I also love their dessert. The pumpkin flavored ice cream is the best. Also, the salad is very good! The dressing is very yummy and memorable. Basically everything is delicious!

This is a big family friendly kind of hall restaurant that goes for the spartan spare feel with wood tabletops and no frills. I sat at the bar and had the cheese and herb flatbread (no red sauce). It was very good, with the flatbread being nice and crunchy on the outside and light and airy on the inside, very thin. The cheese was a cut above usual pizza cheese fare and the herbs gave it a little more flavor and a bit of zest. I hals had a flatbread margarita that was nice, not too sweet and not to sour, and my friend tried the apple pie martini that was just way way too sweet. The bartender treid to correct it by adding lemeon juice but it didn't really work and 90% of it was not drunk and no offer to take it off the bill was received. To be fair it really did taste like apple pie! Shared a chocolate and ice cream desert which was ok, just a couple of pieces of chocolate brownie and two scoops of vanilla. Was worth it for the flatbread, not for much else. Take out might be the way to go with this place (they have curbside pick up) unless you are taking the kiddos out for a casual family dinner. The flatbread is 4 stars but the mediocre drinks and the whole family spartan picnic hall family friendly thing brings it down to a three. Service was friendly though unsophisticated. The big clay ovens with wood burning fires inside are cool and the kids would marvel at them.

I understand what they are trying to do They just dont do it well enough to merit the price or any price really Cardboard like crust, lack of sauce, light on the cheese making for a very dry i'll tasting pizza, I did have it delivered, back when they had delivery, but a pizza shouldn't taste like garbage 45 min after it was made...And thats where it ended up Many people confuse price with value, not me, its crap at any price, California Pizza Kitchen does the same thing just miles better

Mike R.

Okay pizza but not amazing. Salad was also okay but nothing special. I found the menu very limiting. If you don't want pizza or salad, you are out of luck. Also, the pizza menu is also limited. They do give you the option to create your own but the ingredients you can choose from are also limited. It was all a little too earthy crunchy for my taste. I think if you are seriously conscious about keeping it organic or if you are a vegan, this may be a great option. But if you are just someone who likes good pizza, organic or otherwise, this place is just okay.

I have been a big fan of Flatbread pizza since I visited the restaurant in Portland ME many years ago. So I was thrilled to find one nearby when I moved to the Boston area. Their pizza is the best around. They use fresh local ingredients for their toppings and salads. They always have special pizzas, one veggie and one with meat, with unique toppings and in-season ingredients. The servers are always super pleasant and helpful. We have become regular customers here on the weekends.

I love any place that serves pizzas and beers. There are few better things. We ate a large carne pizza and half punctuated equilibrium and half Bedford community large pizza. Pizzas were tasty, but my favorite was the punctuated equilibrium. Kalamata olive and goat cheese combo is great. The ambience felt like sitting at a homey dinner with every single member of your family packed into your house. It's so cosy that I will probably go back with a board game in hand next time. A large pizza feeds 2-3 people comfortably (maybe 4 if you're small petite women). Downsides: Pizzas are kind of expensive. A large costs $18. I dream about the $4 large pizzas at Newtowne Grill in Porter Square. Also, the restaurant needs to fix the wording on their menus. They list $3.50 large pizzas and $1 beers special. At least that is how it reads. It means to convey that a portion of your bill will go to charities. That's just me being honest.

Wonderful. One of my favorite places to grab a beer and pizza after work. My friend and I go about twice a month. Yummy, well-priced, quality food. Cozy, relaxing environment. Friendly staff, good management. The cheese and herb pizza with goat cheese and onion is my fave.

Great food, horrible service. My husband and I stopped into Flatbread's on our way back to Boston after spending the new year up north, so the date of this meal was 1/3/15 at around 2pm. I have eaten at the Bedford, MA location only once before and have had the opportunity to try multiple Flabreads in NH and CT and never experienced the horrible service we did on this day. When we arrived there was one couple in front of us waiting to be seated but the hostess was struggling to make change for another customer picking up their takeout order. The manager then came over and took the waiting couple to a table but never came back for us. We continued to wait while the hostess finished making change and then ran off to get the takeout order. Never being acknowledged we continued to wait, until we decided to just seat ourselves at the bar. The bartender was very attentive (at first) immediately welcoming us, telling us the specials, and taking our drink orders. We ordered a large pizza (half sausage and half veggie) and the organic salad. Everything came out timely and was very fresh! The problem was that the bartender disappeared! We had to get up and walk around the bar to find red pepper flakes, if I was brave enough I would have also refilled my drink! Our water was never refilled and we were never provided the opportunity to order another glass of wine or beer! When the bartender finally came back she got stuck talking to an older single man at the bar, she went on and on about how she looked 18 but was really much older and could he believe that she even had a son. This was all going on while the other customers at the bar tried to get her attention, including us. We finally had the opportunity and asked for our check, we immediately tried to hand over our credit card but she walked away. This time to wait on tables around the bar area. We waited for what seemed like forever and at this point all we wanted to do was leave, so we pooled together the cash we had (still giving her a tip - which she didn't earn) and left. As we walked out I realized that several of the tables that were dirty when we walked in, were still in fact dirty. What seemed to be the manager (yellow button down and jeans) was trying to keep up with everything from the dishes in the back dish room to bringing out food from the kitchen. Either they were extremely short staffed or they have a larger operational issue, but I wont be back to find out which one it is.

The food here is unlike any other pizza place I have ever been to! They definitely have the best farm to table items available around the area! I think it can be a hit or miss with the specials - depending on what you like! I LOVE meat on my pizza, but don't love pizzas that are overloaded. I have never had a bad pepperoni pizza here and the family style salads could feed an army! I recommend the whoopie pie for dessert!!! Bring your kids too- they can sit on a bench right in front of the giant wood stove and watch your pizza cook!!!

The place is too noisy for me. Concrete floor, hard surfaces everywhere, and a single room warehouse style space: these create a cacophony that's too unpleasant. That doesn't seem to bother most people though as this is a popular eatery.

Flatbread has great pizza. I would go there more often, but 1. there's always a lack of parking, and 2, on Friday and Saturday nights the wait for a table can be quite long.

Hungry for Gluten Free pizza and found Flatbread Pizza on Yelp. We arrived to a very big, yet cozy, family friendly atmosphere with a bit of a hippie-organic vibe. We were promptly seated, and within seconds ordered our drinks. We also ordered the salad of the day - arugula, tomatoes, feta (kindly served on the side), pea tendrils and balsamic vinegar. It was fresh, delicious, and the balsamic was yummy, not the sour/tart version that eclipses the back of your tongue. The manager, Andrew welcomed us to Flatbread because our wonderful waitress informed him it was our first visit. He was warm and attentive and made sure that our first meal met our expectations. (SO Great to have the service industry caring about the customers' experience!) My GF pizza arrived. It was perfect! The sauce was savory and very flavorful, the mix of cheeses was balanced well, and the crust, was unglutenfree like. In other words, it was soft, savory and cooked to order. Great selection of drinks and all of the food is local, organic, and sustainable. So happy to have a great place to find a delectable GF pizza. My husband really enjoyed the regular pepperoni pizza too. Andrew, we will definitely be back. THANK YOU!

The flatbreads themselves are amazing- not too greasy, extremely flavorful, even if it is uniquely cut into rectangles instead of the traditional shape. But it doesn't really matter, just because they are soooo good! The pork kahua pie is my personal favorite! The pork isn't dry, but tender and juicy. Almost everything is local and organic too, which is always a plus! The only thing I would take off for is the atmosphere-screaming kid makes for a not so pleasant dining atmosphere! But definitely try this place out, it's awesome!

Great food - but be sure to ask that the pizza gets cooked all the way through. Too many times has is been given undercooked. Always busy. Seats are VERY uncomfortable! Go later if you don't want to be bothered by children. (Eaten here more than five times)

Even though Flatbread is about a 25 minute drive, we go there quite often (considering we have so many good places in and around Melrose, it's surprising that we ever leave the area!). I first was introduced to flatbread in Portland, ME and was excited to see the chain expand into Massachusetts. Flatbread has a solid beer selection. Not a ton of beers on tap, but a good, well thought out selection that always includes some Maine Beer Co. beers. Anywhere that has MBC on draft is good in my book. Their pizzas are good- fresh ingredients and lots of vegetarian and even vegan options- though I've never had one to write home about. What I really was impressed by was their desserts. Cookie and brownie sundaes! SO good. All with local delicious ice cream. Service has always been friendly and fun, and it's also a good place to go with kids.

During the long bleak winter of 2015, I found Flatbread to be a comforting and cozy place for lunch with friends during the week. I rely on my local version in Amesbury for dinner with the family, but in Burlington for lunch, the place is knee-deep in Friday-casual tech types from the local industrial park, but no less earnest or vital in atmosphere. The open fire warms the frosty soul in February, and the pizza is as good as I have come to expect from any one of the consistently fine Flatbread restaurants.

I can't even believe it's been this long. This trip to Flatbread with a larger crew than last time was just as good if not better. The food is terrific but there are some caveats. If you don't want pizza, there aren't many other choices except salad. For some reason (probably having to do with the overall "divergent" theme at Flatbread), they cut the pizzas into strips rather than triangular slices. It doesn't work as well, as people have figured out over the last three centuries or however long it's been since somebody invented the pizza. So...that's all I could find that was wrong. Everything else is wonderful, in a strange kind of way. Going to Flatbread is like wandering into a restaurant in the Haight circa 1968 during the Summer of Love or whatever else we called it in those days. I always thought I'd rather forget all that psychotropically-driven blithering and have worked hard at trying to pretend it never happened. If you can remember the sixties, you weren't there. But Flatbread brings you into a happy, sanitized version of it, complete with hippie wannabes, guys with full-body beards (I think a Wookie convention was in town) and more blue denim than Levi Strauss even dreamed of. All the waitresses had long, wandering hair and a slightly abstracted air about them. The guitar player was singing the Beatles' "Mother Nature's Son" and it was beautiful. The whole thing was beautiful. It's like a stage set; startling at first when you walk in but then it all seems to come together and you feel very much at home. Did I mention that the pizza is terrific? The Guide Michelin should visit this place. You should too.

While people may complain about Flatbread being pricy, I love it until I die. They have a menu that isn't large but almost everything is a gem. One of my personal favorites is the barbeque pulled pork pizza. That thing is ridiculous. Their house salad with goat/blue cheese crumbles is also a winner and their gingerbread ice cream dessert is so good I can never pass it up. This is coming from someone who is not big on dessert. Flatbread has an awesome lively but chilled and laid back vibe. All the employees are super friendly always make you feel welcome and have a fun time. They have a number of craft beers and microbrews there which I have not tried but look great (blueberry!). Excellent place.

Lauren A.

I don't even know what to say: the best damn gluten-free pizza I have ever consumed, and the best normal-people pizza my boyfriend (and friends, and family, etc.) have ever consumed as well. And their pumpkin whoopee pies? I feel like I'm sinning every time. This place is my guilty pleasure, and although I hate how expensive the gluten-free option is, I do appreciate their having such unbelievable gluten-free food (and just food in general), and their Equilibrium pizza is stupidly tasty. I actually dream about that freaking pie on occasion. Definitely recommend this place even though it can get packed on the weekends (they offer take-out which is always a win-win), and their drinks, pizzas and desserts are truly to-die-for.

Having been to several Flatbread Company restaurants and have mentioned the one in Amesbury MA which I love. I live closer to Bedford so we decided to try this one out. We meet with a much younger couple looking for a place to talk and learn from an older couple (my husband and myself). I love this location! So many things I could mention such as the chill atmosphere or the painting class going on in the corner or the food which is always great - but I loved the service here. Jamie was our server and she was fabulous. My husband is a bacon freak and Jamie hooked him up big time! We got the veggie special with yes BACON on top! They don't always have bacon and Jamie warned us that she might not be able to get that for us. They were just done curing the bacon for the next day menu so she indulged us. Honesty, the best pizza I have had there. I am in LOVE with their salads but the pizza was a treat! Can't say enough about Jamie! She is awesome at her job. She left us alone when it was appropriate but had fun with us too. My husband is a funny guy but some servers don't have a sense of humor. Jamie is not that server. She is smart, quick witted and made our experience fun. She is very knowledgeable of the menu and special events the restaurant has. We will be back!

Flat bread quality is good. Good selections of flat bread. The drink menu is confusing, however. Some sodas offer refills and some don't. Ice tea is listed as $1.75 but charged $2.00 for it. the 25 cents isn't something that is worth arguing for, but I would appreciate a more honest business practice.

I have had the best pizza ever till date. I would highly recommend everyone staying in and around Boston to have the freshly prepared organic pizza.

Wish we had a place like this closer to home. They had some delicious "pizza", and I would put that in quotes because I'm from NY, that's not pizza :) Service was great, the oven they use to bake the flatbread is awesome, and the flatbread was delicious. If this was around my area, I'd def frequent it.

ORGANIC-IZED Honestly an organic pizza place down to the spices too. Yes this is that place. I really loved it. I come to this area for work all of the time. I have two clients that are both down the road from here. The food in the area is terrible and I have only one favorite asian place I will go too. Recently I decided to trust Yelp to help me find a new place to eat and bam up pops "Flatbread Company"! The reviews were solid and I decided that I needed to give this place a try and I was so surprised at how good it was. I walked in on a Wednesday night and was able to find a spot at the bar. The bartender asked if it was my first time and I said Yes. So she told me a little history about the location which always makes me feel comfortable when eating at a new restaurant. There was a great selection of craft brews and I decided to go with the Allagash White. I was so happy because I was searching for this beer and it seemed to have alluded me for a while. The crazy thing is that I now see this beer everywhere. I guess the word of mouth marketing seemed to work really well. I was very happy with my Allagash White...in fact I had two...so good! As I was looking at the menu, I had the hardest time trying to decide what pizza to go with. I spoke with the bartender and asked her which pizza was her favorite. She looked at me and said, "The Coevolution" is my favorite!" I looked at her and said, "I was leaning towards the Nitrate-free pepperoni & roasted red peppers." She then said, "Why don't you get both!" I said, "I am by myself I can not order two pizzas!" She said, "We can do a half of each on the same pizza!" What!!! How cool is that!!! I even asked her how much the up charge would be and she said that there was no up charge I would just pay the price for one pizza. I loved that because of all of the different toppings I was about to experience. Here is a long description of the pizza I ordered: Coevolution - Imported Kalamata olives, fresh organic rosemary, organic red onions, Vermont Butter Goat cheese and fire-roasted sweet red peppers, premium whole milk mozzarella baked on organic bread dough with homemade organic garlic oil and our own blend of organic herbs. And Nitrate-Free Pepperoni & Roasted red peppers - Homemade nitrate-free pepperoni with organic fire roasted red peppers, our wood-fired cauldron tomato sauce, whole milk mozzarella and imported Parmesan cheese baked on organic bread dough with homemade organic garlic oil and our blend of organic herbs. Wow were both of these pizzas amazing. I must say that the bartender was correct by saying the Coevolution was the best. I really liked her selection and I am glad that I went with it. I did remove the artichoke heart from the Coevolution because I am not an artichoke heart fan. As I was sitting at the bar having an amazing time I started talking to the guy two seats down from me. I then found out his name was Joe and he was the general manager here. We started talking food and beer. He was a great guy and we also talked about Yelp and how Yelp lead me to this place. He was a little upset at some of the bad reviews but I told him not to worry about it because I could see that the good reviews out weighed the bad ones. I also informed him that as a business owner he could take ownership of his Yelp page and respond directly to reviewers. He had no idea he could do that. I also warned him to never be mean in public because if someone wrote you a bad review they have no problem doing it again. He appreciated all of the advice. I was so excited to receive a direct message from Joe via Yelp telling me that he signed up for the Yelp Business account and loved being able to connect with the Yelpers that visited his restaurant. I love bridging the gap between businesses and Yelpers. We can all work together to make amazing experiences for everyone. Joe also gave me a tour of the restaurant. I was amazed at the pizza ovens here. The time that goes into making these clay ovens is incredible. What I love is that they invited the local kids to help build it. The owner builds a frame for the oven out of of wood sticks. Then the kids came in and applied wet clay to the frame work. It then takes a month for the clay to fully dry. Then once it is dried they are ready to start making pizzas in there. They fire up the clay oven and it burns the framework of sticks on the inside leaving this beautiful clay dome for the pizza oven. Pizza being cooked in an oven by wood...it reminds me of my days as a kid in Sicily. So delicious. When we went back to the bar Joe was doing a sampling of some of the new beers he was going to bring into the restaurant. He also let me get in on the sampling with the staff. I had so much fun tasting new beers. I can not wait to come back! Organic pizza, great staff, a GM that cares about Yelp and craft brews at the bar. Oh yeah they had live music too!

Excellent pizza and salads and friendly service. The pizzas are a thin crust and you can split toppings on it. The Caprese salad was fresh and tasty. Definitely a place to go back to again.

I would consider moving to Massachusetts just so I could go to Flatbread more often. My husband I stopped here for lunch on a Saturday on a road trip to New Hampshire (he had been in the area for work before, so he knew where this place was), and were more than impressed. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was great. I had Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie -- it was the perfect combination of sweet and savory because of the BBQ sauce and pineapple. One of those pizzas is definitely enough for two people (you could pair it with a shared salad if you were particularly hungry), but as we both wanted something different. We each ended up having half a pizza wrapped to go. We enjoyed it cold later in the day for dinner and it was just as good then. In addition to the great food and good craft beer selection, it's just kind of a fun place to be. It's neat to be able to watch them making the flatbreads in their big dome-shaped oven and the atmosphere is very relaxed and crunchy, but in a good way. If I'm ever passing through Bedford, Mass again, I'll definitely be stopping in!

Probably the best thin pizza aka flatbread place, that i've tried. Love their organic stuff. Feels a lot healthier than the lot of the cheesy pizzas that you normally get.

James P.

Great spot! I had a salad with Goat cheese (very fresh!) and split a large Flatbread with a colleague - my half had Pepperoni, Sausage & Mushrooms (Awesome!!) - Next time it's Pepperoni, Mushroom & Bacon (I found out they had this after I ordered) - Love the brick ovens!

This place is pretty good located in a strip mall in the quite side of burlington. We went there on the coldest night of the winter while it was snowing right before going for snow tubing. The place is nice and the kitchen is nice and open. We ordered while we were waiting itself since we were in hurry. ONce seated we got our drinks and 10 minutes the food showed up too(CORRECT TOO). we were suprised that they actually did take our order and made it on time . It was very good.

Omg! I hated the "pizza" here! Beans and sour cream on my pizza?! I think not! My friends asked me to give this place a chance coz I'm picky about my pizza. Man!! What crap is this! It was birthday lunch for my friend and she loves this place. WHO PUTS BLACK BEANS AND SOUR CREAM ON PIZZA ?????!!!!! Supposed to be organic! Organic my a** !! Organic food is supposed to taste good.... well the organic food I've had is usually delicious. Next up, ice cream and brownie for the birthday girl. YUCCKK!!! The ice cream tasted worse than the weight watchers stuff you get in the supermarket. And if weight watchers tastes better then you know the food was terrible! How can anyone go wrong with ice cream???? It's ice cream for pete's sake!! People in Boston are so weird!! No wonder Flatbread isn't available in NYC! People would stone the damn place!

LMarie C.

The flatbread was yummy! I ordered Jimmy's chicken flatbread. It was topped with corn, black beans, salsa and chicken drizzled with sour cream. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I did wish for a side item...a vegetable or something. There wasn't a true side salad option. There was a selection of fall cocktails that sounded amazing! Tiramisu martini! I would come back just to try that!

Not sure what happened to this place, used to go here all the time and no issues. Lately the service has been lacking however, also their prices have increased significantly. The quality has also gone down with less toppings, can no longer recommend it.

Really great tasting pizza. Just wish our family of 6 could eat here more. Seems like we can only eat here once or twice a year because by the time we are done we have dropped $80 on pizza!! Why so much? Because we usually get 6 sodas, three to four pizzas, 3 salads plus tip. Staff is great really get that fruity, nutty, crunchy vibe from them. :)

This place is outstanding. We drive about an hour for this pizza as we live on the South Shore. Never a bad meal, all of the ingredients are fresh / organic. The salads and desserts are amazing. Delicious delicious pizza!! Absolutely love this place!

Came here with work during mid-day - group of maybe 9. A great place for a group lunch. We were able to use the private room. The space is nice, kind of industrial, lots of windows. The chairs are sort of awkward to maneuver around. I love the salads here - I could eat them all day long. So fresh, so many veggies and the dressing is light and flavorful. The pizza isn't bad either. Ordered a veggie special that had some pepperoniccinis and spinach and other veggies. Was a bit salty, and they forgot the tomatoes which were listed on the board on the pie. Not my favorite, but a co-worker thoroughly enjoyed it. Tried a piece of the Coevolution (one of my favorites) it was up to par. The service was quick and friendly. Everyone was pleased, and I think they will all consider Flatbread Co for other company events.

This place cannot be beat. Excellent organic salad with your choice of a selection of local cheeses, great beer and wine menu with rotating tap, casual atmosphere, and the pizza is always exceptional. Their topping combinations always work surprising well for being so original. Must be why we are here almost every weekend ;)

Becca P.

The food was very good and consistent with other locations I've visited but I wasn't happy with the overall food handling process. I witnessed a waitress wipe down a table so had chemicals on her hand, then did her hair, then was helping move pizzas to different trays. I guess that's the problem with an open kitchen, you can see everything. And I can't be blissfully ignorant anymore to the lack of hand wash procedures here.

Jenny B.

Oh, yum. Stopped here while visiting friends in the area and the pizza, service, and atmosphere is AMAZING. We shared a large flatbread (half Jay's Heart, half Bedford Community) between four people--plenty of food, and I can't decide which half was better. The atmosphere is great, with community service groups' artwork, a big, domed, wood oven, and rustic/hippie decor. But that's totally my thing! My only regret is that I was too full for dessert, because wood oven baked gingerbread sounds amazing. I wish they would open one in Pittsburgh!!

Annie W.

it's a chain. i usually hate chains. but these guys are really good. the salads were quite fresh and well-executed. the pizzas were interesting and tasty -- not too saucy, definitely not oily. price point was reasonable (~10-15/person if a couple pizzas are split). portions are generous. the lemonade is from a mix but it is served in a ball jar mug. well-intentioned, fresh ingredients, fast. and close to my workplace. i'll be back! by the way, it's a huge space. great for large company functions or whatever you have in mind. the business park exterior is deceiving. it looks funky groovy homey inside with tall ceilings and a country atmosphere. parking is sparse, though, so come early.

Well done! Despite being a food chain, You have the idealism(concern for the community, environment and care about children), the energy (use or try to use local produce and focus on organics), and the popularity! We had an hour wait in which we decided to eat at the bar! But the stop and the wait was well worth it, given the locality!

Joseph G.

The food is great, fresh and taste like heaven. Flatbread gets all there ingredients from local farms. The building is all reclaimed materials. Fun place to sit in front of the brick ovens real nice in the winter to warm you up ! One problem is the noise level is very high they need better sound deadening.

Lc C.

My husband and I love the Flatbread in North Conway so we were beyond thrilled when a new location opened near us. The food is the same delicious Flatbread quality and the service is a little better than the one in NC. We frequently bring our car club here for dinner because it offers a bit of everything for everyone in the group. Great pizza, great beer and a rustic atmosphere with local musical talent.

Kerri Y.

I really love this place. The atmosphere is fun and laidback. The food is definitely delicious- you can tell the ingredients are high quality and fresh. This pizza does not even play in the same arena as a typical pizza place. If you are trying to impress someone - go here. That being said, Be Warned- they make basically one product and they make it well. When you come here you get pizza: there is no other options (well maybe a salad, rolls and dessert are the exception). If you are in the mood for a pasta dish or a chicken entree- go elsewhere as you won't find it here.

The pizza here is always delicious! I tried their jamaican-jerk pork with pineapple salsa pizza special on Sunday and was very very veryimpressed! Jay's Heart and the Flatbread Community special and the Homemade Sausage pizza and the Jimmy's free range chicken options, are all *great* choices. Note, a small here is enough for just one person, and a large is about right for two. The service is a bit laid back and can sometimes be hit or miss (especially on busy days). It really depends on your server). Really wish they would add some kid-friendly appetizers to the menu. My toddler just does not like pizza and was out of luck. They do provide crayons and there are books for kids to borrow and read, so they were at least entertained. I also think wings would taste great in that might brick oven of theirs! I look forward to coming back often. There is often a wait at lunch time and on weekends (but that just tells you that the food here is *that good!*).

Tonya S.

One bite of their brick oven pizza and you'll be spilling OMG vibes. They use all fresh and organic ingredients which is great for their pizzas. The traditional salad with goat cheese was superb and my order of pumpkin pie martini did not only satisfy my pumpkin craving but had a good kick! Great for dates or groups.

I trudged in tonight, exhaustedly pregnant with twins. Despite the wait for tables (30-40 min) they found me a place to sit, got me some water, and were on their way to get me a slice of pizza while I waited when they managed to find a table for my husband and myself. All in less than 5-10 minutes. The manager was really on his game. He got me some herbal tea (his idea - brilliant!) and the waitress had our order taken within minutes. The pizza was delicious as always but it was really their wonderful helpfulness on a night when I was just feeling too tired to take another step that wowed me. This is the only restaurant my entire pregnancy that has really gone out of their way to be helpful and we will be back!!! I just can't say enough good things about these folks.

Michael S.

Excellent ingredients. Wood-burning oven gives the pizza a fantastic flavor. This place has put organic and locally grown on the map for the masses, too. They have the gold standard for thin-crust pizza. The desserts have slipped a bit over the last few years...but otherwise would be 5 stars. Love this place...and it is very kid freindly, too.

Suzy D.

What the heck happened!!!? DINE-IN: 1 star TAKE-OUT: 4 stars I love Flatbread pizza. Delicious. If you're only going to skim this, heed my advice: TAKEOUT. Order out, pick it up. They are a bit of a mess even with picking up pizza, but whatever. Consider how much of a hassle you're avoiding by grabbing food and leaving. Once upon a time, Flatbread was the best. Nowadays, I echo John C's sentiments. The hosts are really weak or altogether unpleasant. It is always crowded. Not your problem, I get it, but the wait times are so unreliable. Then, when you get seated, the service is consistently poor. Either your server is nowhere to be found or always buzzing in your ear. Some of the servers have been there for some time, and I've watched them go from awesome to awful in a few years' time. Oh, Flatbread. Get your stuff together. Delicious pizza. Thumbs down all around to the dine-in experience.

Just had an awesome lunch with the family and tried their daily "carne" pizza, which was essentially Thanksgiving on a flat bread pizza. A yummy blend of turkey, organic sweet potato, spinach, mozzarella and a home made honey mustard drizzle. Try it this season if you can! The kids had a blast coloring and their pictures were added to the menus. All locally sourced and organic, they also have a creative bar menu. Their laid back vibe makes it great for a small or big group outing.

We have been many times and the pizza is always very good. But Sunday night July 14th we were seated near the oven and had to endure the antics of the young lady working the oven. We called her the "Pizza Ninja" because of her martial art like moves and facial expressions. It appeared to be some kind of exhibition on the art of baking pizzas and unlike the guy before her that she relieved. Clearly she is a dedicated worker, the pizza was cooked perfectly and only one baked dessert hit the floor. With all the kids hanging around near the oven area and bench the show had the potential for an accident waiting to happen. Of course we'll be back but no more front row seats near the oven.

Excellent flat bread pizza. Service was quick and atmosphere is fun and friendly. All ingredients were fresh. Large is enough for 2 people. Drinks are a bit expensive ($10-15). Pizza is made in a real brick oven. Highly recommended.

Great place. Really good unique pizzas. I'm really a fan of the specials although, their menu leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of helping someone pick a particular pizza. Staff is always friendly and helpful, the amount of flannel and thick rimmed glasses are often numerous and makes me giggle at being surrounded by hipsters.

Matthew S.

Great place, and very cool atmosphere. I've been to a few of their locations and this one seemed bigger to me, and not as crowded as the others. Pretty cool that the pizzas are all cooked in gigantic stone ovens. We had a veggie pizza that was really good, especially for the price. Great beer list too...

The best damn pizza ever. I love getting the veggie specials. They never disappoint! The servers are excellent! The bartender wasn't as good when we sat at the bar one night, but the pizza and desserts are so good I couldn't deduct a star!

First time in this place and our waitress asked abut it. Our pizzas were taking longer than usual because the place was packed and our two small specialty pizzas were on the house for the long waiting. Amazing! Both pizzas were delicious. Definitely we'll make this a frequent stop from now on.

Always good. Cheap, fast, fresh and always delicious. This is my favorite restaurant chain by far, and this is my favorite location. The Reuben Pizza has been my favorite and the Spicy Jalapeno Margarita is fantastic. Sharing a couple of desserts is always a good idea.

I visited Flatbread again today. This time, I went with a large group of coworkers during the mid - afternoon. The staff was helpful in moving a table for us once they realized that not everyone would fit. As for the pizza, it appears that we did not order pick from the menu but instead just told the waitress the kinds of pizza that we wanted. As a result, we had pizza types equivalent to a plain pizza, a vegetable pizza, pepperoni pizza, and a mushroom pizza. The taste was closer to mainstream and it was still very good.
(4)
JOHN C.

Let me start off by saying that I've been here dozens of times since 2009 and I (and my kids) are massive fans of the Flatbread's chain (Somerville being my now favorite location). As for the Bedford location, I used to think this place could do no wrong. The food was spot on just about 100% of the time...and if it wasn't (they cook with fire...) they were always on the ball with fixing it. And it was (and still is) always slammed, but, thanks to a cozy waiting area and a bar with a nice selection of craft beer (and a call ahead option), I never minded the wait...once you got s seat it was worth it. Fast forward to 2012...things have changed and I'm at a point where I'm not so sure I want to go back. The past couple of visits have have had the same set of issues that just about ruin the experience: 1. Bad host/hostess situation. This place is slammed, I get it...but they bite your head off if you check in on your table. That's not something I normally do (I realize they can't make tables magically appear), but on two occasions, including my most recent visit, they completely forgot about us (apparently one hostess crossed us off and we were never seated). They used to have a buzzer system to track you down, but, according to the manager, was apparently that was too impersonal. Having some high school kid trying to track you down based on memory is clearly not working out. 2. Super rushed service. Hostess seats you with menus. Minutes later the waiter will show up and ask you if you are ready to order. If you don't, prepare to be badgered. And when you do, food comes out super fast (unless, of course, they forget you or serve your pizza to someone else)..oh and if you didn't get a drink at the bar before being seated, you might get your pizza before you get your drinks. And then you'll probably be asked if you are done when you are 2/3rds done with your pizza. The whole blatant turn and burn experience is very frustrating. Hey, at least if you want to eat quick you can do that. 3. Quality of the food. Definitely has gone downhill. Undercooked pizzas, smaller portions on salads, and specials that are poorly thought out and executed. It's just not as good...go to Somerville and you'll see. 4. Ambiance. It's just a mess in there after recent changes. Specifically: A. Takeout in the back makes the dining area crowded and stressful. B. removal of the party rooms makes it very loud and the waiting area less comfortable C. Removal of seats int he waiting area. No longer a cozy place to be. On the positive, I do appreciate their much expanded craft beer draft selection...they definitely seem to rotate more in. In addition, our most recent visit we encountered a host of issues and the manager, Jason, stepped in and took care of things....definitely appreciate that they seem to care. Hoping this place can get things back on track.

Great pizzas, great service!! I love this place. I've tried many different options from their menu and they are all really good. They also have specials and some of them are seasonal so you won't get those all the time. I can pick anything from their menu and I'm sure that its going to be great.
(5)
Lauren M.

Best pizza I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh and the pizzas were creative. The only thing I didn't like was no prices on the drink menu. When I asked the waitress she said they were around 10 at the cheapest... Which seemed a little expensive. Also definitely call and make a reservation because it was packed and we had to wait a while. Other than that amazing food and amazing service.

Shannon D.

A great healthy organic alternative o the many pizza places in the area! There pizza's are unqiue, amazing and all while being healthy! Drinks are fabulous and they always have a daily/weekly limited offering of a meat and veg special that is truly unique. They have call ahead seating- either way they are worth the wait! Always will come back for more!

Nat S.

I dunno, I'm not so impressed with this place. I don't feel that it deserves the high ratings some have given. They use good ingredients, but I don't think the pizza equates to the ingredients. I find it lacks in flavor and it's nothing to write home about. It's mediocre at best. The salads could be better as well. The staff is great as they are always friendly. It's kind of a grunge/hippie type of place (staff as well) with an urban rustic look. Let's put it this way, normally when a gem is found, I always wish I could have the recipe of the great dish found. I have not left feeling that I needed any "secret" recipe. It's edible, not disgusting, but blah instead. I think some people are getting confused with the taste of the food and instead are focusing on the fact that they use organic ingredients and that it is on the pricey side. Organic and pricey doesn't mean that it's good.

This is a great alternative to the original in VT. While the location is strange in a office building the inside is done very nicely and feels like a warm barn setting. The food is great and the services is always very helpful. I love their salads and house dressing. Great for families as you can see and watch the huge pizza oven in the middle of the place. I do recomend you checking it out.

Lisa D.

Yum-o! I like everything about Flatbreads: the decor, the food, the drinks, the desserts. I see a couple of bad reviews for their nontraditional pizzas (which are surprisingly good if you can think of them as 'flat bread') and I agree it's not what you'd expect in NY, but the more traditional items really are quite good. They have a nice bacon and meat pie, and the cheese and tomato sauce choices are nice. They also do a mean ice cream. I samples the gingerbread this week-- scrumptious!

This was my third time eating at Flatbread in Bedford. It always amazes me to walk into the interesting rustic interior in the middle of a corporate office park, the restaurant itside looks great and it's awesome to see a wood-fired oven in plain sight. Definitely not your typical pizza joint! There's a great New England brewed beer selection, but I had to have one of their Martini's, lemon drop martini looked amazing, and I had a Apple Pie Martini, delicious but expensive. Sitting at the bar I also saw them serve a Wachusett Blueberry with fresh blueberries dancing in the glass. We sat at the bar since there was a wait for a table, not enough waiters. The menu is extremely limited - there's just pizza and few variations. It is very good pizza. I love that they use fresh, organic, all from local farms. Unfortunately that leads to higher prices, so this is not a place I eat at regularly. We ordered a large pizza for the 2 of us, veggie on special, with chucks of tomatoes, pesto, roast garlic cloves, feta cheese, and slices of olives. It was wonderful. The service has always been fine and our waitress have always been very friendly, and in this visit the bartender was also very friendly. The 2 of us finished the large pizza, except for 2 squares (little strange the way they cut their pizzas). We were both very full. I have never had a enough room for dessert. Two negatives: The most uncomfortable chairs I ever sat in (wooden slats, no padding). The parking situation is a nightmare, not enough. It's a small lot, shared with offices and another popular lunch spot (Bamboo, also a favorite restaurant).

So close, but not quite American Flatbread, and therefore only 4stars. Seems that after the Flatbread Company and American Flatbread's sordid affair a few years back, this chain went slightly down-market while American Flatbread continued being amazing. (For those of you who haven't tasted American Flatbread, get yourself to Waitsfield or Burlington, VT asap!). Don't get me wrong, Flatbread Company is good. There's a great (local) beer selection and plenty of good vegetarian options. Prices are fair and our wait - even on a busy Saturday - wasn't bad. Service wasn't great as all the servers seemed quite overwhelmed and distracted (pizzas got burnt/misplaced, etc.). But as far as pizza goes, this is the best you'll find in MA or NH. However, if you want a true 5-star flatbread, you must venture to the mothership in Vermont...

Came here on a cold dreary day on the way to Boston. Everything is organic local. Has a good vibe. Also tried the pumpkin beer float (shipyard) and the pumpkin martini.service was very attentive. Liked to open kitchen concept.

Dee H.

Enjoyed the pizzas made with organic ingredients. We ordered a couple of pizzas, each of which were half and half (halves and halves?) The meat one was half Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie and half Pepperoni (no nitrates!). The vegetarian pizza was half Bedford Community and half Vegan. I'm one of the omnivores, and enjoyed the Mopsy's a lot. Service was friendly, simply great, by the host and all of our servers. The place is popular with families on the weekends, and since it is located in a business park, I'm sure it must be quite popular during the weekdays/nights as well. Our server prepared a very nice white sangria for me that packed a punch. Yum! Oh, I can't forget about the organic salad. It was quite scrumptious. I was able to share mine with two others in my party, the portion was so generous.

This restaurant has a hippy feel to it but makes fantastic pizzas. The pizzas are a little different. They are thin crust, and aren't loaded with cheese. I tried the free ranch chicken pizza which had a Mexican taste to it because of the corn topping. I also tried the convolution: olives, mushrooms, capers, etc which gives it a brilliant flavor. Loved it. The place gets a lot of noisy kids though. My roommates on the other hand preferred the oily, loaded with cheese Pizzahut/Dominos style pizzas.. MEH!

BEST. Amazing pizza. I always go in starving and think the flatbread looks too thin to fill me up and leave completely full (mainly due to the fact that I can't stop myself). I always try to order a specialty pizza and a go-to pizza (Mopsy's for me). Desert - don't you dare skip the desert. I'm not a desert person but they do it right - simple classics upgraded. Amazing service, these people genuinely love their job and it shows - you can't fake that. For me, this is a good testament to how this business is run. My only wish is that they offered bread stick appetizers. I think that would be a good addition to the menu for those who don't want a salad.

Awesome brick oven pizza straight from a roaring fired up brick oven. Absolutely delicious! Wicked!

First ever visit, and very impressed. Great choice of beers, generous sampling to find interesting examples, and wonderful thin crust pizza. The whole place is a pretty interesting spectacle, with two blazing ovens, a busy staff and a lively crowd.

I came here for lunch a couple times when I used to work in Burlington. I found the pizza to be alright but nothing exceptional. I did like that they had fresh ingredients and options like goat cheese. It is a thinner crust but it just didn't give the right crunch or depth that I was looking for in a thin crust pizza. I had one of their salads as well with goat cheese and it was pretty good. The lettuce was a blend of various types, which was nice. The service did seem quite slow though but we may have felt like that since we were rushing through lunch. All in all, much better than your fast food chain pizza but Emma's in Cambridge is much better.

The concept of this restaurant is really a good one. Organic, local grown natural food. The biggest problem with restaurants which have mission statements is that they should always make sure that the food comes first. If you check out the website I'm certain you will agree that the pizza depicted there looks like a perfectly made pie. Unfortunately, that was not my experience....well to be accurate....maybe it was because our two pies looked great....they just tasted bad and were dry to the point that they were not worth eating. Having lofty goals of supporting organic farming and using all natural ingredients is not a license to make bad pizza. Additionally, the clientele seem to confuse the idea of a restaurant with a day care center. There was one particular woman walking around behind a barely walking toddler while she ate her pizza.....she and the child stopped at our table and simply stood there for 3-4 minutes while the kid was exploring something on the floor. If you do not know what pizza is suposed to taste like, and you are comitted to average but organically grown food at above average price points and unattended children...then try it out. I thought it was ironic that a place which claims committment to natural and organic food is loacted in an office park with a HUGE environmental foorprint....the most distinguishing feature of the buiding is that you have to drive there and all of the bandana wearing idiots were in SUV's and Mini vans from what I could see. This place aspires to be an organic and natural version of Chucky Cheese's in my opinion except that they don't have the video games or ball pit....they do have bad pizza so I guess they've got that aspect covered. Stay away.

I love this place! So much, in fact, we had our rehearsal dinner here the night before our wedding! Sean helped us to organize - the fixed price for 30 people included ALL you can eat flatbread (we had 4 or 5 choices), salad,soft drinks and brownie sundaes for all. The cocktails and beers are very good (they had a pumpkin cocktail that was especially yummy). The environment was super fun, relaxed and the food delicious as always. And, all of the staff were really helpful (all of this - on a crazy Friday night!)

My spouse describes pizza as one of the major food groups. Good pizza is manna from heaven and, despite the ubiquity of pizza joints, is hard to find. We stumbled upon this place through a search on Yelp. Oddly enough, we've passed the other eating establishments in this complex numerous times (Melting Pot is the one I always notice). Withouth street frontage, this place isn't too obvious. What a delightful surprise! Upon entering early on a Saturday evening, we are confronted by a massive number of families waiting for tables. Luckily, we nabbed the last table for two. I'd never guess that such a funky, home grown interior could be carved out of a suburban office building. The massive wood fired pizza oven takes up a significant corner of the space, perfect on a cold winter night. The menu is limited to basicly, you guessed it, pizza, but with a decent beer selection. I really like the way they touted the connection they have to local farms, too. The proof is in the pizza. We loved it! The bubbles and burnt bits....just like Naples. We enjoyed the two combos we tried: pulled pork and the evening's veggie special with (sorry all of you vegetarians) bacon. We thought there would be leftovers...not. We can see that we will need to be preapred for a long wait on weekends, and lots of kiddies, but it is oh so worth it.

Just got home from Flatbread Bedford. Five of us went for dinner. We ordered 3 pizzas Jay's Heart (no, Jay wasn't working tonight), Jimmy's Free Range, and some sausage one that I forget their clever name for. All 3 pizzas were phenomenal. Weird... when you combine high quality food ingredients in a creative way by people who take pride in their finished product, you get an awesome result. Other restaurants should take note. Iced Tea (unsweetened) was very nice and I tried a Diet Cola that they feature as being from a local business that specializing in soda fountain drinks. I enjoyed both with a freshly cut lemon wedge or two - Our waitress had just picked them fresh off the lemon tree out back. Service was terrific- prompt and attentive with a smile. Wanted to congratulate the waitress on her pregnancy and upcoming baby, but I've done that before and been WRONG about the waitress actually being pregnant. Yeah... it was uncomfortable. Overall, Flatbread Bedford was pretty awesome, even if it does tend to fill up with hippie types. At least the hippies of this generation seem to be okay with using soap and shaving. Bathrooms were moderately clean, but not sparkling. I give Flatbread my highest personal rating of A++. I hope you enjoy the food as much as I did. Good luck.

It's really hard to review this place and not compare it to the other flatbread (the original) in the other burlington (VT) I'll say that everyone who likes this one should go up to Vermont and be pleasantly surprised. That is all for the Dark side of this review. Flatbread Company serves up some good, healthy flatbreads and a good selection of beer. I wish they had more on tap, but they do have a good selection once you consider the bottles as well. As far as I know they don't brew any of their own beer. The wait can get long towards the dinner rush, especially on the weekend. I have been there predominantly for weekend lunches. That last fact may effect this next fact, but I have never been there when there wasn't at least one screaming child. When it's later on and crowded it helps to drown out the noise, but it can be really bad during the lunch rush. All-in-all it is good food, a good show (open stone hearth), and a good time. There are things I would like to nitpick but I can't deny that I keep coming back.

I wish I could give Flatbread's a higher rating, but a few cons take away from delicious and interesting pizzas. 1) For eating in, the large room is often quite drafty. Bring a sweater in the summer, and keep your coat with you in the winter. 2) Service is off and on. A few times with friends, our party has been practically ignored, while other times we've been in and out like there's nothing to it. 3) It's expensive. You do pay for quality, but still, this can not be compared to any old pizza joint, because your wallet will argue back. Now, all that said, the pizza is fabulous. I particularly recommend Jimmy's Free Range Chicken pizza, but I've tried most they're all delicious. Never go for the boring ones here, you're missing out! Fresh veggies and quality cheese and meats- what a combination. Also, if you stay for dessert, wow, the chocolate chip banana bread sundae?? To die for!

In all my 58 years on this planet, I've never been one to routinely go into a bar or restaurant alone. It's just not "my thing". Oh sure, when I travel on business, sometimes, I have no other choice... but around home base? Nada! Until now. My partner turned me on to Flatbread last winter and, now, when I'm cruising home from a job site in the Boston area and run into backed-up traffic on nearby Route 3, I get off at the Route 62 exit and zoom over to Flatbread where, by the way, there's always AMPLE parking BEHIND the building. I LOVE this place! I can sit at the bar, chat it up with the lovely svelte 40ish(?) bartender gal or another friendly patron, enjoy anyone of a dozen REGIONAL and delicios microbrews and dine on organic salads, pizzas, sandwiches and more with most ingredients being locally produced! There are NO television screens! YIPPEE! And the piped-in music always suits my tastes. I like that the place is funky and that the wait and cookstaff are wearing their own duds and not some silly uniforms. I haven't noticed any chairs to be uncomfortable but maybe that's because I always enjoy myself thoroughly there. Gotta love the raised beds veggie gardens lining the sidewalk to the front door, too! The only drawback, here, is the lousy acoustical environment, i.e. it can get kind of noisey in there and hard to hear your dining companion's voice. Other than that...THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!

I was so pumped when I got to come try out this Flatbread location with some women from my gym. Our waitress was amazing and was so great at serving a huge group. We tried their vegan, veggie, and some chicken pizzas, all were incredible and perfect for sharing, I especially loved the vegan pizza. We also got some bloody marys and they can make them spicy and give you jalepenos which was pretty cool. I like that Flatbreads will also give big salads for large groups to share. Their food is organic, local when possible and sustainable, and they can accomodate lots of dietary restrictions, like Vegan and GF. This location was a nice size so I think it would be the perfect place for a group get together!

This is a great wood fired pizza place...I usually go for the Jay's heart with chicken. ingredients are always fresh and local! You sure can taste the difference. The brownie sundae dessert is excellent as well.

Flatbreads is great if you're looking for something a little less generic as far as pizza goes. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The inside has some really cool decor and a wood fire oven. The pizza is delicious, and all of the food/ingredients are fresh and organic. Their desserts are fantastic, too. However some things are seasonal (e.g. pumpkin based things, etc.). The whoopie pie(which is amazing) is warmed up fresh in the oven and is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I always look forward to getting that. The price isn't all that bad either. two thumbs up for Flatbreads!

I lied when I said I would be back here soon...it's been almost a year since my last visit. The same friend and I returned here last Sunday hoping and praying for the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It's not on the menu - but they make it for us ANYWAY!!!!! I seriously love this place!

Jenna F.

We waited too long, paid too much and have had better pizza. I have now eaten at this restaurant twice and I can say without hesitation that I do not think I will be back. We were told about a 20 minute wait and waited an hour. The service was very inattentive and the pizzas are priced as if they are made of gold. Half of our party was on a gluten free diet and I cannot recommend the soggy gluten free pizza dough they served us. We were also charged for wine that we did not order. Save your time and money and order delivery.

After a hearing rave reviews about this place, I was finally able to stop into one of the locations. I'm originally from Jersey and I love my NYC pizza and have just not been able to find anything like it up here. This is still no NYC pizza, BUT it probably just made my list of top pizza places in Boston. It's definitely a different type of pizza, its not greasy or heavy. Also, what's really great is that everything is organic and they locally source the ingredients. Even the drinks! Now that I know this place is down the road from HMart in Burlington, its gonna be hard to not come back!

Kimberly H.

I like this place. I am a big fan of pizza! I love that everything is organic as well. I am a vegan and I also have a gluten allergy so I am very happy that I can eat here safely. Their gluten free/ vegan pizza is pretty good. Only problem is most times I think the pizza person forgets to cook it long enough. It's been very inconsistent. It comes out soggy and floppy. Very hard/ messy to eat the pizza. It happens to me here the most but has also happened in the Somerville location too. I know the local brand of GF crust they use and have used it at my own home in my electric oven. If it's cooked for the correct amount of time it can be eaten like a regular pizza slice sans the mess and the flop/soggy It would be really nice if they offered a vegan cheese option. Also, it would be really amazing if they had appetizers of some sort. Something healthy and light besides the salad.

Kate G.

We had been to the Amesbury location but never to this one until recently. The pizza was scrumptious and the waitstaff was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and process of how everything is made. We got in just before the dinner rush and were able to get a seat within 20 minutes. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed with kids, which is okay considering we had ours with us so we didn't feel like we were intruding on anyone else. Granted here the pizza takes a bit longer to make and the is a bit pricier but it's definitely a good spot to grab dinner or lunch.

I have wavered between 2 and 3 stars, so I'll be nice and give it 3. I give Flatbread credit for striving for wholesome but delicious pizza and an assortment of beers, but they really seem to have bit off more than they can chew. I've eaten here a few times and while it's usually ok, it's pretty hit or miss in terms of quality. The service and overall experience have gone downhill fast, though. The waitstaff is kind of flaky and disorganized, which turns what should be a fairly quick lunch into an hour or more of waiting and wondering. Some of the furniture is falling apart, so you are likely to sit at a wobbly table with a chair that you're nearly falling out of. The parking situation is a nightmare, an utter nightmare. It's a small lot, shared with offices and another popular lunch spot (Bamboo), and in addition to being small and crowded, it was designed by someone with no sense of efficient use of space. There's a valet if you really feel like going that route at lunchtime. It might be your only option unless you get your timing right or luck out. I imagine this place is probably much better at dinnertime than lunchtime, but I'll probably never find out for myself.

Fresh Organic Local ingredients + wood fired+clay oven baked + friendly servers+ Reasonably priced = Pizza at Flatbread ! So even after living in the neighborhood for some time, I did not know that Flat breads existed. But the day I came to know, there was no looking back. This happened in the spring of 2011. From then I would go there every weekend with my fiancÃ© or my friends or my roommates--whoever was ready to accompany me ;-). And they can confirm- this is no exaggeration. The pizzas are perfectly baked--not too soggy, not to thin; not to cheesy, not too dry. When I eat these pizzas, I can taste all the veggies, herbs, meat and the sauce. So flavorful ! (Unlike some pizza where I experience over dosage of sauce). My all time favorite is Coevolution. Although I would say that they do a good job with the specials too. Loved the buffalo chicken special they had couple of weeks back. Oh, and don't forget to try the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread which they serve with chocolate fudge and ice-cream. Mmmmm..

Christine Y.

This is my all-time favorite pizza place. I love that they use fresh, organic, local ingredients. Unfortunately that leads to higher prices, so this is not a place I can eat at regularly. They serve a great selection of locally (New England) brewed beers - when I got the Wachusett Blueberry they floated fresh blueberries in the glass. Their salad is amazing - not the standard bland stuff you usually get in restaurants. My favorite pizza is the bbq pulled pork - sweet & savory! I've had excellent "daily specials", too. The weirdest success was the corned beef & cabbage. Yup - sounds bizarre, yet somehow they made it taste terrific. Desserts - when we have enough room in our bellies - are scrumptious, too. I'm a gingerbread fan; my husband gets the warmed banana chocolate-chip bread with ice cream.

Craig B.

A different take on "pizza" that is delicious. Don't come in expecting the same old, tired NY style pizza that you can get anywhere (lookin at you, SaraS). Expect different combinations of ingredients than you've tried before, and expect to be delighted. Definitely experiment with ordering custom flatbreads instead of the standard menu, like adding a meat to the veggie specials. Salads are fresh & tasty. Staff is very friendly. A bit loud during peak periods & tight parking are the only downsides.

I went here for lunch with my mom and sister recently and had a great time! The atmosphere might be my favorite aspect of the restaurant and I will totally be going back. I felt like I was in Vermont. The open prep area and wood burning stove are very rustic and cozy aspects. The totally wide open floor plan also adds to the cool and cozy atmosphere. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Our waiter took his time with us and even chatted with my mom for a bit. The food came out promptly and the server was very attentive for the rest of our meal. One of the coolest things about Flatbread is that everything is local and from local farms. They have a list by the prep area of all the farms they get their ingredients from and I recognized all on the list. I love the idea of supporting local businesses and eating organic and locally. I love the idea knowing exactly what I'm eating and where it's coming from. As a drink we all got the hot lemonade which was delicious. So simple yet something I never even thought of. The waiter told us it's just hot water, fresh squeezed lemon juice and a little bit of pure maple syrup to sweeten. It was very refreshing and nice and warm on a chilly, snow afternoon. We ordered a large veggie pizza and a small special which had ham, pineapple and mushrooms (I think). Both were very good. The crust is a little thinner than I usually prefer on pizza (I'm a Regina's girl) and they do cut in into squares which is a little bit of a pet peeve of mine but it's not that big of deal. All in all the pizza was pretty tasty and again, I love the idea of all local all organic. We didn't order booze but the beer list was very impressive. Again a lot of local beers and the server gave us a description of each on the menu. Dessert was ordered by my mom and my sister. My sister got the banana bread with hot fudge and chocolate ice cream. It was delicious. The banana bread was very good but the hot fudge was some of the best I've ever had. It was that real, thick hot fudge, not like the kind you'd get at the grocery store. My mom got the gingerbread with pumpkin ice cream. The gingerbread tasted a little stale to me but it's neat that they heat it up in the brick stove before serving it. All in all I had a great experience and would love to go back again. They have entertainment I think once a week a night (music) so I'm hoping to give that a shot soon!

This place has a lot going for it. Organic ingredients, good beer selection, great pizza! The only thing that bugs me is that I think this place tries too hard to evoke the laid back earthy warm fuzzies. I got the feeling that they're trying to be something that they're not (for the purposes of marketing), and that makes me uncomfortable whole-heartedly recommending them. Still, if I am in the area I definitely would go back and I'm happy to give them four stars.

Alli V.

For the last six years this has been the go-to choice for a meal the whole family enjoys, but it's also good for date night! The flatbreads are perfectly thin and crispy and the toppings from local farms are always fresh. I love the Mopsy's flatbread with pulled chicken - excellent spicy BBQ sauce makes it, but even a simply cheese flatbread is delicious. Evenings can get VERY busy, but if you are up for an early lunch on the weekends, there won't be a wait. Also, a fantastic beer selection that changes regularly and excellent options for vegetarians and vegans.

Best Pizza in Boston!!!!! And it's Organic with Locally sourced Ingredients. Pros: The ambiance is mildly festive and laid back. Let's fast forward to the food, shall we? We ordered the Co-Evolution Pizza. At first glance it seemed too thin and average looking. Image aside, the first bite acted as a catalyst into something wonderful. As my teeth were sinking into the soft yet crunchy goodness, the warmth of the pizza from the wood fired oven accentuated the fusion of ingredients; Olives, Red Onions, Rosemary, Red Bell Pepper and Goat Cheese. A part of me was stuck in time and the rest of me was like OMFG!!! (oh my Food God!!!) this is one damn good pizza. Like when Adam first took a bite of the apple, like a first monkey shot into space, like a first plunge into a cool pool on a summery day, like a ______(you fill in the blanks) The reaction to the taste is a sensation to have had at least once. I've seen a book titled "1000 places to see before you die" One should add Flatbread's Co-Evolution Pizza to "1000 things to eat before you die" The Blueberry ale goes well with the Co-Evolution pizza and do save some room for dessert or loosen your belt. The Brownie with Vanilla ice-cream or the Gingerbread with Pumpkin Ice-cream is a must have. And if you're still in a state of food-hypnosis, I command you to have both, be daring, evolve with the food (hence the name of the pizza; co-evolution....just my theory) Decent selection of wines. Bonterra Organic Red wine (Cabernet) is recommended. Nice friendly Staff. Cons: Limited to Pizza, Salad and Dessert. Wish they had more organic food options on the menu like appetizers, chicken wings etc. Need more beers on draft, plus they should add Beer tasting flights.

Came for lunch on a Sunday just as they were opening, so maybe everyone wasn't warmed up yet. Food was fresh and interesting, but the service, while friendly, was lacking. Our order was dropped on the ground before it reached the oven. Add five minutes to clean up and then start remaking our order. Then, they brought out the incorrect pizza (they brought a meat laden pie and a veggie was ordered). So, add another 10-15 minutes to remake the correct pizza. Glad we weren't in a rush. When the pizza did come, it was wood-fired bliss. Crispy crust, a hint of smokiness, and quality toppings. The manager did come over and apologize, as did our server, but it felt mostly like going through the motions. Most restaurants will at least offer to compensate you for the inconvenience, but not here. I expect to pay for what I eat, but gestures go a long way. I want to love this place, because the concept is great and the food delicious, but they have a little way to go on service.

As a wheat intolerant pizza lover and a person who absolutely LOVES fresh ingredients and creative flavor combinations, I have to say that this restaurant is by far my favorite all-around restaurant in the state of Massachusetts. I know it's a somewhat of a "chain" with a few locations across the North, but this place is what I consider real-life magic. The gluten free Coevolution pizza is the most mouth-watering pizza I have ever eaten in my entire life (even compared to pizzas eaten when I was able to eat wheat), and my wheat-obsessed partner even swears up and down that they consistently have the best pizza, no matter what style you choose to order. That said, no matter if you are gluten-free or not, the greatest recommendation that I can offer is to try their Pumpkin Whoopie-Pie. That thing is still the greatest thing that has ever been near/on/in my face. The ambience is pretty awesome at the Burlington location as well, and it's in everyone's best interest to try their items!

LOVE this place. LOVE their pizza. LOVE their staff. I stop in for dinner just about every Friday - they have new specials every week, aside from their regular (amazing) menu choices - and they have seasonal cocktails and martinis that are delicious too! Great atmosphere, fresh organic ingredients... if I could give more than 5 stars I would!

April H.

My second attempt with this establishment. I find them to go very, VERY light on the sauce/cheese/toppings. If I am paying $17 for a pizza, there should be plenty of toppings, and they should be evenly distributed over the pie. I know other people rave about Flatbread, but I am done with them.

Hubby & I came here for our niece's birthday dinner & since we were very early, we sat at the bar. The bartender was quick to offer a drink & friendly chat. When the rest of the family arrived ~ an hour later without a reservation, the manager quickly took care of us...making certain we had a table right away. The food here is good - organic, local, & fresh. The pizza is great & there are enough options to feed everyone. The brownie sundae is delicious - oozing with chocolate sauce & vanilla ice cream. It's big enough to share.

Finally checked this place out, well worth it. Great beer selection (we went on the night of the Maine Beer Company tap takeover) and good prices all around. Really fresh organic salads and the "pizza" is simply delicious. Open floor plan and yet a cozy vibe. Highly recommended.

We go frequently with the family, and as my daughter said tonight, "it never gets old". Love the open atmosphere, the wood fired pizzas made with local organic ingredients, and the overall coolness of the place. Jay's heart pizza is a great standard. we also tried the specials. A vegetarian - pizza with Mediterranean flavors, as well as the Buffalo chicken pizza. We will continue to go, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Calvin F.

My coworkers and I fondly call this place "Hippie Pizza" and go for lunch fairly frequently. Good enough that I would recommend a drive out of the city just to try it. The main deal of the restaurant is that everything is locally produced, or organic, or no-preservative, or free-range, or cage-free... sometimes all of the above. And it's delicious. They always have a daily meat ("carne") special and a daily veggie special. Sometimes the combinations they come up with are quite creative. But again, it's always delicious. The wood-fired oven is for real. Sometimes you can taste/feel a bit of the smoke, or it comes off on your fingers as you eat. It's not a bad thing though, in my mind. It gives the crust a very distinctive crispiness, especially around the edges. Did I mention that the result was delicious? The waitstaff will occasionally take a while coming by the table when you want something, but they're generally very friendly. You can see things being prepared in the same large, open room where you eat, and the decor is rustic. Like good pizza? Come here. Like ecologically sustainable food? Come here. Like being as wasteful as possible in your consumption of resources? Well... come here in a Hummer and then throw a piece in the trash or something. Just give it a try.

This place used to be one of my favorite places to meet colleagues for lunch on 128. It was also on the way home from Hanscom on Rt 62, so it was a good take-out option. Then the service on take out became slower and slower, and I found myself standing around for twenty to thirty minutes after I arrived (after ordering 20+ minutes earlier by phone) before getting my pizza. So I took a break. Today I decided to give it another shot, and I was another long wait (after the 15-20 minutes quoted when I placed the takeout order). Ten minutes after my arrival my first pizza arrived. A few minutes later I get told the other pizza had been torn going into the oven, and had to be remade. An acceptable excuse if the first pizza hadn't been late as well. The thing was they were not busy at all. There was one couple in a booth, and one individual at the bar. Two pizzas (not identified as multiple attempts at mine) went in and came out of the oven, and into the trash. The employees were a waitress, a hostess, two chefs working the oven, one behind the counter, and a manager*. That sort of service to customer ratio should not result in slow, cold pizza. I miss the old Flatbread. I wish they'd get their act back together. [*] I will give the manager credit. He did apologize and try to make things right, but I'm not there to try to score free food. If you want to make it up to the customer, stop the pattern of slow, poor service.

The Flatbread experience was very enjoyable! First of all, it smells heavenly walking through the door. It's a nice atmosphere, very relaxed, but it's pretty upbeat too. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the menu to us and what went into the dishes. I had the organic salad with parmesan cheese and berry vinaigraitte to start, which was delicious. Everything at Flatbread is organic and local, two very fantastic pluses! I ordered the Vegan flatbread for my meal, which is a pizza with tomato sauce, garlic oil, onions, mushrooms and olives. Very tasty. And although I didn't get dessert, my fellow dining companions did: behold the brownie sundae. I had a small bite of the maple syrup-sweetened whipped cream that came with it, and oh boy. I could have eaten an entire bucket of that alone. I will definitely be returning!

Flatbread Pizza offers a variety of organic pizzas. All ingredients, toppings, and sauces are top quality certified organic products. The flat bread style, thin crust offerings are beyond delicious. The beer and wine are typically regional offerings from local breweries and wineries. However they do offer a number of other options. The homemade lemonade is a classic! The salad topped with organic chicken and house dressing is unbelievable. Don't forget to try their to-die-for brownie and ice cream dessert!! The staff at the Burlington location are fast, friendly and aim to please. The atmosphere is relaxing and the food is great. You won't be disappointed.

This is one of the best pizzas I've had in Boston! The place was empty so we were seated right away. Everything is organic (and I do mean everything), so if that's not your bag, then you aren't going to enjoy it. The menu boasts salads, various pizzas and dessert, as well as a decent wine list. They have some unusual drinks, such as hot lemonade (I wasn't adventurous enough last night to try that, but it didn't sound very appealing). They have a selection of herbal teas and locally produced drinks, such as root beer (which I didn't really enjoy). My friends and I split the salad. It was delicious. We got the blue cheese on the side and it was enough for 3. As for entrees, we all got pizzas. They have a selection of non-tomato sauce ones as well as traditional, and gluten-free crusts. That was cool. I had the jay's heart with fire roasted red peppers. It was soooo good! Thin crust, perfectly baked, and had the right amount of herbs. My friends got the pepperoni and the fennel sausage. Both enjoyed theirs. The meal was great, as was service. Our waitress was very friendly and explained everything perfectly. Our bill came out to be abou $12-$13 each, so that is pretty good for pizza and salad. If you are in Bedford, do check it out.

Went here because a vendor suggested the place. Loved it! The ambiance is super laid back, friendly and cozy. Chalkboards everywhere with specials. I especially loved that they served veggies straight from the garden and local farmer's market. I ordered a no boundaries salad with pulled pork and a heirloom veggie pizza with herbed ricotta dollops. Both were fantastic. The pulled pork was juicy and tender. I loved the crust on the pizza. I just wish I saved room for dessert! Would love to visit this place again when I'm in the area.

Very good organic pizza! Great, warm atmosphere with brick ovens cranking out the pies. The bar has a lot of unique microbrews. Great place for family dining.

Nice pizza. They have brick oven. And they even grow vegetable outside the restaurant. They also have specials once in a while with new ideas. One special that I tried had sweet potatoes as the topping. It sounds weird, but it turned out to taste good.

The service at this location doesn't even deserve one star! My fiancÃ© and I were seated, and sat - unnoticed - for 20 minutes!! We had even patiently waited while it took nearly 10 minutes for a booth to be cleaned. The lunch crowd had just left, and the restaurant was not crowded; there seemed to be plenty of employees milling around, but sadly none of them took an interest in taking our order. A man who had been seated 10 minutes before us was already enjoying a drink and a salad, while we just sat there, completely ignored. We felt invisible. Two waitresses had a lovely chat for 10 of those minutes - one even making eye-contact with me (she just looked away and continued yakking with her friend). About 10 minutes in, a waiter(?) asked the people at the booth behind us if they needed anything. We got his attention and told him we hadn't been approached by anyone to take our order and asked if we could order drinks. He hesitated, looking around (I guess he wasn't our waiter), but took our drink order. Another 10 minutes later...no drinks!! My fiancÃ© was fuming and said he'd had enough and got up to leave. As we were walking out, the girl who I guess was supposed to wait on us appeared from somewhere (she must've been hanging out in the "back"), and said "sorry" (really???!), and the guy who seated us and a female hostess just smiled and said something cheery (REALLY????!!) - it was surreal! It was like they were stoned and couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces!! It was so bizarre that I felt like Alice in Wonderland - don't know how else to describe it! My fiancÃ© just walked right out, but I stopped to explain to the hostess why at least WE weren't smiling (she obviously couldn't figure out that something was wrong on her own - or maybe just didn't care). I told her we had eaten there before and LOVED the food and were so looking forward to more meals there during our stay in Bedford. We purposely picked a hotel near Flatbread because we loved it so much the previous year. She asked if I wanted to speak to the manager and went to get Joe, who apologized and offered lunch on the house. At least Joe wasn't smiling, but it was too late to fix things (my fiancÃ© was already in the car and still fuming) and we chose to eat elsewhere: there is NO EXCUSE for "service" that horrible! That has never happened to us, even in the most crowded of restaurants. I don't know what was going on, but we heard complaints from others who live in the area, also stating that the service was awful. I'm guessing that Joe is a poor manager who is either oblivious to what is going on in his restaurant, or simply allows it, and he apparently has employees who take full advantage of the situation. I hope the owners of The Flatbread Company see this. I could not find a corporate email. I would give 5 stars for the food and cocktails, assuming it's still as good as it was last year, but I never got to have any of it thanks to the non-existent service.

Definitely was not expecting this in Burlington, was very pleasantly surprised. There isn't a ton of variety on the menu, unless you want to build your own pizza, but that's a-ok with me as the choices are nice and unusual. Delicious combinations, cooked really well. They have live music on Wednesday nights. That said, I'm not sure if this place is really a date spot. At least when I went, there were a lot of groups and families. It's more upscale than most family restaurants, that's for sure. I came here with coworkers and the price and atmosphere are perfect for an after-work meal. The beers on tap are local and fantastic.

Pamela S.

Love this place, but hated the three young boys who were seated next to our table yesterday who never actually sat in their seats. They shrieked and ran around their table and the long table that was behind the one my coworkers and I sat at, they walked behind our chairs and played with the plant display which was three feet away from me. Our waitress had to say something to them about how that wasn't a good toy and that there were books up front if they were interested (they were not.) I felt sorry for her because it was not her job to try to deter the kids--it was the job of their ignorant mother and grandmother who sat there eating their pizza with their backs turned and completely ignored them! Not the restaurant's fault by any means but please parents, watch your kids or don't bring them out to eat where they can disturb other paying patrons. If I hadn't been with people from work I seriously would have said something to the dumb mother. Now that that's out of the way, I love the food at Flatbread. Just wish the parking situation was a little better.

I only ordered takeout so that may be the reason the pizza wasn't as great as it could've been. Ordering to go means to lose the fresh flavors, texture and temperature and I ended up having to microwave the dang thing so it was partly my fault. Good pizza microwaved should still taste good and it was just ok for me. I ordered the Homemade Sausage pizza expecting something awesome, but in the end I didn't even finish the whole box. Next time I'll be sure to eat in and hope that will save my 3 star review

Chris C.

I have been to the location in Burlington, VT before and they are both awesome. I really like the whole local and organic program they have going on. I like to support places that are run like this in hopes that the rest of them catch on. I had the cheese and herb with sausage. It was awesome. On top of the great pizza they have a good selection of beers and drinks as well. Cause we all know nothing goes better together than pizza and beer. I skipped desert, but the couple I saw go by the table looked pretty good. Guess I'll have to try one next time.

Food was good - if you've ever been to American Flatbread up in VT, its a pretty similar pizza. The atmosphere is pretty rustic/industrial. That means rough edges that absorb none of the sound so it was loud even though it was only half full. Not my cup of tea but the food is good enough to try out another pizza or two. The service, though... Friendly, very helpful and a great attitude but they were understaffed on a Thursday night. That is the only reason I can think of to explain why I was able to order as soon as the waitress arrived at the table. It seemed like we were waiting forever to meet her. Once we put our order in, it was pretty quick to arrive. I enjoyed the salad (super simply dressed but it was just enough to coat the lettuce) and while I didn't love the pizza (Hand-made Sausage), I want to go back to try some of their reds. I like a little more goo-iness to my pizzas but this place is super 'back to basics', following the local foods movement and seem to be very authentic to the no preservatives movement so everything is super fresh. Will I be going back: Yes, I want to try other pizzas. No, I probably won't be dining in. I probably won't get the sausage pizza again but there were plenty of specialty pizzas to try on the menu so I'm excited for those!

I just tried out Flatbread Pizza Company for the first time, and I loved it! I had one of the specials for the night... a taco pizza with cojita and mozzarella cheeses, chorizo, pineapple salsa and tortilla chips. Very, very good! For dessert I had the apple cider donut sundae, also a special. Fresh whipped cream, vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce served over a warm cider donut. Mmmm.... The overall feel of the place was great. Very casual and fun. A band was playing live while we ate (Beatles covers), and being a huge dork I loved watching the big wood fired oven. My only complaint (which kept me from a 5 star) was the chairs. They were very uncomfortable, though as my wife says that's because I don't sit up straight ;)

Kelley T.

Omg this place was freaking fantastic. First of all I never order salads in restaurants but their organic salad is really delicious and the seaweed in it was a really unique touch. I love that they use organic ingredients, everything tasted so fresh. We got the sausage and the cheese pizzas. The flatbread makes for a tasty thin crust. Trendy setting in the restaurant, RESERVATIONS A MUST - this place gets packed.

nital p.

Love this place and am happy to have an organic meal, as always. Our waitress was Ashley - she was nice enough but kinda blah. whatever. I got the Carne special of the day which was italian sausage ( didnt know it would be so sweet) with yellow and green peppers and tomato sauce. excellent except the sweetness really surprised me. i like the acidity of tomatoes and you didnt really get that with this pizza. but hey, for some people that might be plus. the food came out pretty quick too! i'm definitely a fan. i think the total for the meal for 3 flatbreads (Small) was $30. Can't complain, one flatbread usually lasts me two meals :)

Paul B.

I've been to the Flatbread in Burlington many times, since it's my ten-year-old daughter's favorite restaurant. The pizza is good, but there are very few options. We also like the organic salad, which is fairly basic but tasty. The menu is extremely limited - there's just pizza and few variations. The service has always been fine. My main complaint is that it's very expensive. The pizza is something like $9 for a small or $15 for a large, a salad is another 7 or 8 bucks, a glass of wine is $8.50. Going with just my wife and daughter, we'll end up spending $70 plus tip, while bringing home a small amount of leftover pizza.

Jenny W.

I can't believe I just went here for the first time last night! I loved the one in Burlington Vermont and finally made it here. We sat at the bar since there was a long wait for a table. For dinner my boyfriend and I split the organic salad (with amazing goat cheese and an awesome dressing) and the pizza special of the night which was buffalo chicken. I love all things buffalo chicken and this was the BEST buffalo chicken pizza I have ever had. The crust was amazing and thing but the best part was the homemade ranch dressing on top and the chicken which was the perfect hotness. Yum!

Kyle S.

My parents took me here while I was home on break, and it was delicious! We went for lunch time, and were seated right away. The atmosphere of the place is cool--very rustic, and the kitchen is completely open, along with the clay oven where they make the pizza. I got a sausage pizza, which was excellent. Apparently, all of their ingredients come from local farms, and everything tasted fresh. The crust is the star of the show, however--I could've just eaten that and I would've been happy. It's nice and crispy on the outside, but the inside is super soft--delicious! While I didn't have any beer when we went, it looked like they had a nice selection of localish varieties on tap. I would go here again in a heartbeat--if you're looking for pizza while you're near the Burlington Mall, definitely check Flatbread Company out.

Come for the all-natural, organic ingredients, stay for the delicious pizzas and salads. Sometimes organic food can be all hype and a bit of a letdown on taste, but Flatbread is delicious. Love the fresh salads and the super fresh mushrooms that they put on their pies. I'm still undecided on the nitrate-free pepperoni, but I appreciate that they offer it and it was definitely a first for me. I would absolutely try it again. Chairs are pretty uncomfortable here. Ask for a booth if you have any sort of back issues. Lunch is pricey here- about $30 for two. But it's worth the splurge.

I would like to update my review to add a note about the owners and staff of Flatbreads, specifically at this location. Every Tuesday night Flatbreads hosts a community fundraiser night where local non-profits/charities can earn money by getting people to come eat that night. It is very popular and there is a long waiting list. Anyway, a nonprofit I volunteer for finally got the chance to host at Flatbreads this week. The restaurant accidentaly double booked two charities for that night but stepped up and offered to cut us each a check for the original amounts, rather than asking us to split the money. Their kindness did not end there. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to set up a silent auction and even pulled aside extra tables when they noticed we were running out of room. Pretty much every waitress stopped over to look at what we had and were even kind enough to bid and purchase items after their shifts ended. I really can't express how friendly, kind, and easy going everyone was. Actually, the whole process was totally easy and low pressure. We raised money for a great organization and had a lot of fun, too. So, many more kudos to Flatbreads... oh yeah, and their pizza rocks too!

Pat C.

This was a very pleasant surprise. A friend was in town on business and we met here for dinner. Interesting location in the middle of a corporate office park, but the restaurant itself looks great and it's awesome to see a wood-fired oven in plain sight. The pizza was great (had the Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie) and the beer selection was splendid. The service was timely and not pushy and the food came quickly. No complaints.

george k.

Organically speaking it's too... well, too organic. They put up a good show and the food is above average but the high end rustic environment has the opposite effect on me. I think they try too hard to be authentic. Three and a half stars.

Tracie C.

This place was surprisingly delicious. When I hear organic I assume that we're paying more for the label than for good quality food, but I liked the flatbreads and toppings despite the prices. Pros: -Cute atmosphere- lots of space, the wood-burning oven was fun to watch and added to the ambiance -Waitstaff was very patient with our group of 16 -Filling: one flatbread was enough for two people, just like they stated -Dessert: brownie sundae was delicious! I actually would have been fine with just the brownie -Restaurant was very spacious, didn't feel cramped at all Cons: -Pricey -Flatbread takes some time, so if you're in a hurry this isn't a great option. That's actually not a con, just a warning. -Took a little while for someone to take our order. I felt like they didn't have enough waitstaff for our big party and the rest of the restaurant. Recommendations: Spinach artichoke flatbread, pepperoni and mushroom

Todd S.

Stopped in for lunch. Did not feel like pizza. Had a salad. Big mistake! So much celery on the salad that it was the only flavor and texture that was noticed. Chicken had no flavor. Very disappointed. Should have stuck with a pizza.

Have been to the Flatbread Pizza Co in North Conway, so wanted to try this one closer to Boston. Very impressive place with a great layout. I liked the way the entire restaurant was centered around the open air kitchen and the massive hearth oven. Got a table near the fire, a bottle of Cupcake Malbec and a two small pizzas and it was the perfect way to spend a cold winter night. Ingredients are fresh and local, and unlike so many pizzas, it was light and crisp, and you actually feel good after eating here. This does not replace my all time favorite - Santarpios in Eastie, but is more of a totally different way of looking at pizza, and one I enjoyed a great deal. Highly recommended and next time I will save room for desert.

Rob M.

This place is great and has become part of our weekly routine. The food is tasty, the staff is friendly, the beer and wine selection is top notch and the restaurant is involved in the local community. The menu is somewhat limited, but we usually go with the pizza specials, which are rotated weekly. Some of the better options are buffalo chicken, loaded baked potato and taco. Flatbreads also offers a nice fresh salad that is distinguished with a light and tasty dressing and seaweed. I recommend saving room for dessert and going with the brownie a la mode... They heat the brownie up in the wood fired oven! Also, this place is very popular, so you should call ahead to get your name on the list.

Eveline C.

BEST PIZZA EVER! This has become our weekly stop while driving our kids back to school. Our first experience with Flatbread was in North Conway. We were so sad to limit our visits to once a year. Now we get it on a weekly basis. What a treat.

Steve K.

Based upon the Yelp reviews, I stopped here for an early dinner. The Server, Sarah H, suggested the special: Reuben Pizza. Yep! Pizza with pastrami, sauerkraut, onions, etc. Sarah is cute, so being a sucker (typical guy), I tried it. The pizza was great--I expected much worse, but I really enjoyed it. Combined with their local dark beer made this a great meal. Afterward, Sarah asked me to try the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Again, I was clouded by her charms--even though I don't like Banana Bread. Well, it was good too--or I was drunk from the 3 beers. If you're in the area (about 17 miles west of Boston), give this place a try!

Samantha S.

The food was fantastic - and all organic! I don't usually buy into the whole "Oh this is organic" thing when it tastes the same and costs twice as much....but this changed my mind. It was slightly more expensive than a regular pizza...but tasted 20X better! Fresh veggies from farms I had heard of (including my favorite, Wilson's Farm in Lexington!). The flatbreads are all hand made (literally right next to where you sit!) and include a variety of fresh veggies/meats. My mom and I split 1 flatbread and got half "Coevolution" (olives, garlic, peppers, onions and rosemary) and half of the veggie special (caramelized onions and artichokes!). It was DELICIOUS! They also have a bar (woo!) and serve homemade sodas from a place in Maine who's name escapes me... The best part of the meal was definitely dessert - brownie sundae with chewy, chocolately brownies, AMAZING hot fudge and vanilla ice cream. To die for! My only complaint is the chairs are horrrrible to sit in - and there were too few servers for the amount of patrons - so we waited a bit longer than you'd expect for drinks/check etc. My office is moving right near here and I anticipate many flatbreads in my future!
(4)
Ryan D.

Well, the food is good. Maybe my issue is a I prefer flavor over organic. I would give it four stars, but the prices were just too much for what you get portion wise. I also hated how the pizza was sliced, yeah, it might be find with hipsters to get a four inch slice and another slice that is half the pizza, but seriously, some uniform slicing would be nice.
(3)
Mary E.

A very cool pizza restaurant! I first heard about it from my husband who worked nearby and frequently ate there for lunch and had great things to say about a number of their flatbread flavors. The food and service is great, and they purchase their ingredients from local farmers. Their dedication to local goods, promotion of eco-friendliness and recycled decor led to the joking title "Hippie-Pizza" - it's a pretty funky place, accompanied by the great wood burning earthen oven. They change up their specialty flavors of pizza, and there's plenty of room for making your own creatively-flavored pizza. Some great pizzas include the Taco, the veggie with balsamic vinegar as the sauce instead of tomato, Jay's Heart, and Community Flatbread.

Not Greek or Sicilian pizza, the Flatbread Company's pies are a wholesome, nutritious version of one of everyone's favorite foods. I'm lucky to have this location about two and a half miles from my office and every time I'm in here I find myself more pleasantly surprised than my previous visit. Flatbread Company offers a variety of fresh pies that use organic ingredients and feature an eclectic mix of meats, veggies and cheeses to create a savory taste experience that's unique among Boston-area pizzerias. There's a wide selection of crusts and toppings, most notably the non-tomato sauce ones that bring out a different flavor in the meats and vegetables on top. Salads, while optional, should be mandatory, for the greens and tomatoes they use are first rate. I'd also suggest trying one or another of Flatbread's local brews, most of which demand special attention on their own. And if there's any room left after pizza and drinks...desserts, especially the ice cream, are heavenly. The only knock against Flatbread is the confusing nature of their menu and how it reflects a diner's selections, for it's a bit confusing. However, the staff gets applause for their knowledge of the chef's offerings and fast, accurate service.

Stephanie D.

Had a great date here last spring, in part because of the great selections of wine and beer but also because of the complimentary white pizza the bartender gave us. The pizza was delicious. Unfortunately, we were not having dinner, but I was definitely interested in coming back. The bartender was really attentive, and, as a person who hates to sit at bars or eat alone, I would feel totally fine going back there by myself if I had to. Very warm and friendly atmosphere. The only downside is that there was some sort of middle school fundraiser going on by the door. I appreciate the hometown feel, but I don't want to feel pressure to buy something on my way in or out.

Jeff R.

Headed over for lunch today with some coworkers. I love everything about Flatbread Company. The pizza is so good with it's thin crispy crust and delicious sauce and cheese. I don't like any additional toppings. I love the taste of it as is. The salad is the freshest tasting you can get. I definitely think going basic is the best way so you can appreciate the true flavor. You can tell it's prepared with quality products. And it's all organic to boot!

Keith M.

Chicken jalapeno, sausages salad. I've been here a few times and tend to get the same thing. Sometimes a bit slow when they are busy, but its very fresh and consistent. Maybe we'll try the special next time.

Sumiko C.

This is my family's favorite pizza anywhere, anytime. The crust is delicious. The topping combinations are unusual and always good. Try the pulled pork, or the free range chicken with beans, corn and salsa. Salad is also delicious. My husband loves the BBC beer on tap. I've had several cocktails - all good. Don't miss the chocolate chip banana bread sundae - get it with half chocolate, half vanilla ice cream. It's fun when there is live music. absolutely top notch pizza - I could not ask for anything more. For pizza, it is relatively expensive. For a quality dinner out - it's not bad.

Ron L.

I'm not the earthy-crunchy type who looks for "healthy" junk food. I like my junk food to take a few years off my life, but I heard good things about Flatbread and decided to put it to the Pepsi challenge. Now I've been there about a half dozen times, and each time my friend and I have been seated at a booth by the window. Nice place to sit, but the booths are about as big as an aircraft carrier, and it's a tad odd to be carrying on a conversation from waaaaaay across the table. But that's neither hear nor there, I just thought I'd clue you in just in case you want to opt for a table and a more intimate setting. Ok, now onto the pizza. It's a brick oven joint complete with a huge oven smack in the middle of the place that looks like Fred Flinstone's house. Staff are friendly and service is fairly quick. The pizza is tasty, I especially enjoyed the pepperoni and sausage toppings. Served up with a cold glass of beer or three on tap and I was tempted not to return to work after lunch.
(5)
Dalina C.

The only two times I've been here were around 8:30 on Tuesdays, so I can't speak to peak meal times/weekends, but... This is a really great pizza place. There are lots of delicious topping combinations and ingredients. I love that they use local New England vendors, and that it's all natural and organic. I think I've tried at least 10 different pizzas, and each one was awesome. We've yet to have leftovers. Very friendly and helpful waitstaff - even though the restaurant technically closes at 9pm on Tuesdays (I know, we're jerks for coming in at 8:30), I never feel like I'm being rushed out of there. Really cool, comfortable atmosphere. I'm not sure why the pizza is cut in rectangles rather than the typical triangle (am I missing something here?), but I'll take it. I've also never had room at the end of the meal for dessert, but I'm sure they're great as well. Go there!

Jillian T.

Wonderful food, and a great, cozy atmosphere. You can tell the pizza is made with heart and soul, and everything I've tried is delicious. I suggest following their Facebook page, where they post their specialty flatbreads of the week, which aren't on their menu.

Solid four stars. Was at a workshop down the road at the Double Tree and ate here three times in two days. Excellent pizza, even better salads. Local ingrediants and local beers. Wood burning oven makes you want to stay for a while.

Yum! I am not usually interested in pineapple on my pizza, but the Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie was fabulous. Combined with an excellent beer and the special garden salad of the day. The bartender was very nice and gave me the run down on the organic ingredients. Will definitely be back.

Anthony R.

Delicious pizza! The crust perfectly balances chewiness with crispiness, the toppings are great and fresh, and the space it's served in is pretty cool -- think large, open wooden lodge with eco-trendy trimmings. Lots of big tables - I went here with a group of eight on a weekday and we had good service that wasn't rushed. I got to sample a simple pepperoni pizza, their homemade sausage pizza, and a mushroom/tomato pizza -- all were excellent. Good beer selection too! I don't think I'd come here out of the city but definitely a well above average 'burbs option.

2 amazing things about flatbread- 1. i love that they only source their goods from local farmers. they only get the meats from free range/no antibiotic farms. i can't stress enough how not enough restaurants do this!!! it's so much nicer to eat and chill at a place that you know cares about the earth and the welfare of the animals. i can't say how many times i've tried to kick my meat habit but get cravings sometimes. then i feel bad because the animals were treated badly in life and i don't want to support it. it's truly amazing how they support local endeavors and such, and i love that if i WAS to order a chicken something, i wouldn't feel as guilty because i know it came from a good place. 2. the pizza is SO good!!! its nice that its earth friendly, but it tastes super amazing. the community pizza was soooo yummy, as was the salad (blue cheese, celery, carrots, lettuce and i think some seaweed) and then to end the night we got a brownie alamode...which was SOOOO good too. the waitstaff was super nice, even when my gf dropped a fresh pizza onto a chair. they gave us a new one in 3 minutes for free. :-) if a restaurant is earth/animal friendly, thats awesome. if the food is awesome, that's double awesome. and flatbread is double awesome!

Meena V.

This place makes a strong argument in favour of pizza's good name against all the greasy, cheesy, bready crap posing as pizza out there. The menu rotates periodically, and always involves some really interesting seasonal topping combinations. Their pizzas also have a great crust: toppings ratio, and owing to the general good quality and healthiness of ingredients, won't leave you feeling like an unwashed grease pan even when you're stuffed with pizza. The organic beers and sodas are also great, and add that perfect last hippie touch to the dining experience. My one word of caution, though, is that this place does get really crowded both during weekday lunches and weekend dinners. Service also tends to be slower (limited by the stone-oven?) when it's crowded -- so make sure you have some time to spare if you're going during a popular mealtime!

Went here last Saturday night. Estimated wait was 45 minutes and it took that time for us to get seated. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent. the pizza was cooked to perfection. My gf had the gluten free pizza and it was good as well. I liked the sweet sausage on the pie. The manager is wonderful. I met him at a restaurant in Waltham and he couldnt be a nicer person. I wish him and the restaurant well.

Betsy B.

We ended up here because the place we planned on was closed. What a nice surprise to find I could have any small pizza a gluten-free crust! And it was pretty good too. I like that they use local organic ingredients. Not a huge menu and you are out of luck if you don't like pizza. Decent salad but not all that the server had built it up to being.

Flatbread is one of those places which prides itself on its green-ness and environmental consciousness - to the point where my co-workers referred to this as the 'hippie-pizza' place. Regardless of their political and environmental beliefs, they do make a fine pizza. I've sampled any number of pizzas here, and they've all been pretty good. Highlights were definitely the Mexican and the Bedford Community flatbreads, though. The Buffalo chicken is also pretty good. I wasn't too much of a fan of their Nitrate-free sausage though. Perhaps Nitrates make sausages betterer? :-) My Ratings: Food: Good flatbreads! But they cut them weird. =) They'll cut them 'traditionally' if you ask, though. Excellent dough, fresh toppings, and nice-thin crusts. Service: Good, friendly wait staff. They seem to have an endless supply of ever-chipper hostesses! Value: Fair. A bit expensive for what you get - but then again, being green isn't necessarily cheap! Ambiance: An odd place, really - lots of re-purposed and re-cycled fixtures. The giant, wood-fired clay oven is neat, and there are these huge standing stones around the dining area. Stonehenge-ish? Bottom line: It passed the test of lunch - went back many many times to sample their different flatbreads - I'd still be going there if I hadn't moved away!

I'm not very religious, but I'm pretty sure that it's a mortal sin to pass up melted goat cheese. Since I'm much too busy to be confessing and absolving sins, I'd rather just follow the rules. With that said, my boyfriend and I ordered the co-evolution and lets just say that those kalamata olives and goat cheeze didn't just co-evolve in my mouth, they straight up did the nasty and it was amazing. But wait! There's more! The dessert? Holy Mother of Mary, this brownie accompanied by ice cream was quite the little devil, and I do mean that literally. With my very own eyes, I watched that brownie rise from the flames and go straight to my plate, only to be quickly scooped up by myself and my boyfriend. The dessert can only be described as divine. The experience as a whole? Heavenly!

Reading everything on their website, was completely true and more. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and she was so friendly, helpful, patient. One of those places to eat that there was absolutely nothing wrong with this place. The pizza was wonderful. We ordered a large and with both of us finishing the whole thing. Wonderful to see all of the community activities they do for the town and the kids. This place was one of a kind and would go back there again in a second. Check it out and see. you will not be disappointed at all.

Great pizza! Their dough is thin and their ingredients are very fresh. I had the sausage pizza, and I was able to split a large with a friend and not be stuffed. We even had room for dessert! Which was also very good. And the service was excellent. It was our first time there, so the waiter proceeded to give us a 5-minute speech (only slightly exaggerating) about the food we were about to eat. Very friendly, very attentive guy. I also like the open layout of the place, where you can see the hearth oven and the staff making the pizzas.

First, they get major props for having gluten free crust. Second, the fact that the toppings are organic, and local when possible, outstanding. It's also a great kids experience- if your kids are open to something other than Domino's pizza- my nieces love both the pizzas and the desserts. And watching the pizzas get made in the fire. I often wish there were more on the menu, in case you're not in the mood for pizza or a simple salad, but it _is_ the Flatbread company, and not the "what am I in the mood for tonight" company. Overall it's delicious- and don't be afraid to pick and choose ingredients from various pizzas, they'll customize for you with no complaints. And can I mention, again, props on the gluten free crust?

In my opinion this ranks as some of the best pizza I've ever had...and I've had a lot - both in Italy and around the U.S. I like that they source locally whenever they can and a lot of the ingredients are organic but yet the prices are very reasonable. They also have a great microbrewery beer list. We go here so much that one of the managers knows us by sight and makes sure to come over to the table to say hi. We've only once had a bad server experience and it wasn't even that bad, she was just forgetful that night (off night, we all have them), but we had her before and since and besides that one time, she's been wonderful. Unlike some brick fired pizza, this pizza is never burnt. We almost always order the salad without the seaweed (I don't like the texture). Their dressing is tart and sweet which I like. We also almost always order the homemade pepperoni/mushroom pizza and the white pizza with goat cheese, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms. Every once in a while we'll get the special but mostly we just like these two so much that we stick with them. Although the homemade sausage pizza is fantastic also. Try the brownie sundae, it's decadent, and in the fall/winter they have a great apple cider donut sundae. Even though I gave them 5 stars I do have two complaints - 1) the noise. even with sound dampening panels, on a full night, it's loud - especially with the kids. 2) sometimes the cakey desserts (whoopie pie, banana bread) get a little burnt on the bottom because they warm them in the oven and seem to pay more attention to the pizzas. Also, I've been to three other locations and they are very consistent as a regional chain.

Oh my goodness, I love Flatbread Pizza Company. This location is the only one I know of that has the pork pie pizza, which is especially delicious. I also love that this place is one of the few that has an almost unlimited gluten free menu. There was a special once that couldn't be done gluten free, but all of their menu regulars and most specials are gluten free friendly. There GF crust is some of the best I've tasted, and I like that they order it from some little bakery in North Conway, NH. They also have a great list of fresh, local draft beers, which I can't drink, but it certainly makes Flatbreads an appealing option for my boyfriend! I like their affordable wines by the glass. Both of us can get a stellar meal and a perfect adult beverage. The only way this place could be better was if they opened a location in Brookline/Newton, MA :-)

Great pizzas. Be prepared for their exorbitantly priced salads. All organic, but you'll pay for it. Very fun atmosphere, and one of the best places to meet friends in Burlington. Can be a little loud when there is live entertainment.

I'm taking away a star, Flatbrad. Why? Because we waited AN HOUR to get our food at lunch the other day. That is ridiculous. I understand that your pizza oven is only so big, but you built a restaurant with a pretty large seating capacity. Obviously you were expecting to have a need to serve that many people at one time and since pizza is really the only thing on the menu here, you should be pretty efficient at cranking out the pies. I feel bad for your waitstaff because I'm sure they take a lot of abuse from customers about wait times when there's nothing they can do about it. Those that run this place might tell me to slow down and relax, that dining out shouldn't be a rushed experience and I should soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the company I'm with, but seriously, Flatbread, you are in a very industrial area so I'm sure 90% of your lunchtime crowd is out on their lunch breaks (the other 10% being Bedford soccer moms) and can't wait around for your snail-pace service. All that being said, the pizza is still pretty damned delicious.

Norman C.

Actually, look, the squeaky wheel did get the grease. We got much better service and they actually sent me a gift card inviting me back. I'm happier with it now. It's still probably tough to go there for lunch if you've got a tight schedule, but hey, knowing is half the battle.

Flatbread is one my favorite Pizza places in Boston. Everything is organic and 9 times out of 10 you will love your pizza. I do like the salad here, and I am not a salad fanatic. I tend to go for the weekly special pizzas, and as a meat-a-tarian, I can assure that more often than not the veggie is better than the meat option. I wish some of the weekly specials would migrate to the standard menu, which at times feels a little limiting. The staff is good and friendly, and I view flatbread as a reliable friend. Deserts I don't love here, but I would love if they made chocolate / deserty pizza. Hint Hint..

This place is awesome! I celebrated my Birthday here with a few of my girlfriend's and I ended up really enjoying myself. The pizza was amazing! we ordered the Jimmy's free range chicken pizza and it was YUMMY! We also got a salad which was good as well. The salads though are a little tricky to order due to the way they are layed out on the menu BUT still very good. Of course we couldn't leave without getting desert so we all shared the brownie sundae. Overall, I was very happy with my experience and I will return!

This place is sooooo good. After living in Boston and moving up to Dracut, I was in need of an atmosphere with good pizza and good drinks. Unfortunately this limits my options but after researching Flatbread Company, I tried it out and was not at alllll disappointed. I have to note that you really have to love brick oven pizza but if you do then this is your place. I had the veggie special which was figs, butternut squash & honey ricotta-yum! They have a great variety of local microwbrews and other beers as well as a really great drink list. Seats popped up at the bar and the service was great there-can't speak for table service. My only complaint would be the gingerbread that we ordered-it took a while because the kitchen was backed up and it was really dry, definitely wouldn't order that again, but it was certainly not a deal breaker. This might be my new favorite pizza restaurant-and the price is definitely right! $60 for 2 small pizza's, 3 beers, 2 hard ciders and a martini? Yeah, I'll take it.

When I walked in, I tried to figure out what is special about this place. From the make-shift birch branch picture frames to the allusions of fresh killed organic chicken, I thought country at first. However, a quick look at the really open kitchen where young people were tossing flat dough in the air, I knew something else was at work here. The hostesses forgot to greet us and left us standing there for about 10 minutes, even though we were about 3 feet behind them and the only ones waiting in the lobby. The barmaid's great attitude and helpfulness more than compensated for their obliviousness. She let me sample the organic beer on tap (very dark & slightly sweet). We ordered a small pulled chicken bbq flat bread and the large sausage & mushroom flat bread. The latter was delicious. We definitely took some leftovers home. Plus, warm homemade chocolate chip banana bread with 2 scoops of vanilla was wonderful! Our servicer was very attentive. The ambience is low key with simple wooden tables and chairs. There is a huge fire hearth dome that boys from the kitchen stick long wooden spatulas in and out. It is simple good eats that make you feel good afterwards because it didn't hurt or overly process the farm animals.

Food - thin cornmeal crusted dough, chewy not crisp with a little bite of cornmeal underneath. Flops a bit like a NY slice. Nice crust bubbles you get from a nice high heat cook. The ingredients are tasty and house made meats and organic veggies certainly a big plus. Had a half nitrate-free pepperoni (pepperoni is house made and thicker in slices then normal pizza) and half caramelized onions and mushrooms (caramelized onions could certainly be better as they were not really caramelized). Atmosphere - great wood fired oven with a bench in front to chill by and very chill waiting area Service - quick and very friendly (they were doing their local benefit an organization thing on Tuesday

Flatbread's is a great place to get some wholesome food with a fun, 'crunchy' atmosphere. You walk in and the restaurant feels like a big log cabin, fireplace and all. Definitely not your typical pizza joint! The menu includes all organic ingredients and free-range meat so you can rest assured that you're eating an environmentally considerate meal, if you're concerned about that. If you're not concerned about that, it's okay too because the ingredients taste fantastic regardless of the political implications. The specials are written on chalkboards dispersed throughout the room, and if you feel like a more relaxed meal, you can park it at a low table with lounge chairs/futons and just 'chill'. You look at the pizzas and think "Oh God I'll never finish all that", but the crust is very thin and airy, and it's cut into such tempting little 'breadstick' type pieces that you end up having 'just one more' until it's all gone! I tried the brownie sundae....mmm. Haha can you tell I like chocolate? All my reviews are like, "and then the brownie", "and then the cake"... usually I don't have room for dessert, but I had to make some room to try an organic brownie with all-natural ice cream. And it's right next to Bamboo, one of my favorite restaurants of all time! So I suppose that's why I've only been to Flatbreads once. haha It's hard to choose!

Angelos K.

I am a pizza snob. Nothing comes close to Flatbread in terms of creativity, freshness and quality of ingredients, and attitude. I have eaten there several times and take out pizza on a semi-regular basis and am always amazed at what they can pull off. Shepherds' pie pizza, beef taco pizza, beets pizza etc are all things that I have tried. If the pizza is too well done or has any defect, they will gladly remake it for you and leave the other one on the table! To top it off, they also have incredible microbrews on tap and really fresh organic salads. If you want a casual night out and like pizza, you can't go wrong here.

Missy W.

Okay, okay, I'll admit it. Normally I could care less about where my pizza comes from, how it's made, and what ingredients it has in it. I just care about the "does it taste good?" part. When going to Flatbread, the answer is always yes! It does taste good! Only after it passed my 'taste test' did I start to appreciate all those things I listed above. Organic? Cool. Brick oven stove? Awesome. Free range/no cruelty to animals policy? Even better! This place is warm and cheery and is a nice place to wind down with family and friends.

Think warehouse with a bar, tables, and a open fire oven. The best part is the beer. The pizza is small with a limited range of toppings. The only other option is a salad. The service is slow. A good option if other restaurants are too busy.

Krista H.

From the outside, Flatbread looks nothing like a brick-oven eatery. It's in an office park in Bedford, MA right near the industrial belt of Interstate 95. As you can see from the other reviews, if you are into all natural, gluten-free food, this place is for you. They really do make some phenomenal pizza. To be honest, when I went we ordered two pizzas that were on special and I couldn't even tell you what was on them but I ate every last bite. Not only is this food healthy but it's the most creative I've ever seen for pizza.

Cath B.

Just wanted to give kudos to this restaurant. We enjoyed a couple of small pizzas and salad (all of which were wonderful) this afternoon. However, the best part of the visit was that we were not charged for the pizzas because they took perhaps 10 or 15 minutes longer than they should have in being delivered to our table! Since it's easy to see everyone working, it was hard to say why there was a delay, but the server and manager both apologized profusely, saying "it should have only taken 10 minutes total!" I've heard this before at many restaurants, but NEVER had anyone comp the meal because of a delay. Can't say enough about the excellent service and excellent food. I'll be a regular and recommend it to everyone.

Great beer list, fantastic fresh salads, yummy pizza straight out of the wood oven. My friend and I stopped in for lunch on a frigid cold day and got a table right near the fire. They did a really nice job of creating a toasty ambience, even though the restaurant is in an old office building. Fantastic. Waitress was knowledgeable about their extensive beer menu and provided fantastic service. We split a small pizza and each had a salad and a beer. $15/ea was a little steep for lunch, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I read the reviews and have been wanting to try this place but it is quite a hike from my house. Today I was in Nashua, NH and decided to swing by for a takeout pizza and check it out. Great, fresh, positive vibe. Staff are super friendly. Pizza is made before your eyes in an amazing stone oven in the middle of the room. Everything is fresh and ORGANIC. One suggestion: add a vegan dessert to the menu, please! Pizza lovers know the secret to great pizza is the crust -- theirs is superb. Crispy with nice texture and flavor. Toppings were superb. I had the vegan pizza (tomato sauce, kalamata olives, mushrooms and carmelized onions). Deee-lish! Highly recommended for non-vegans as well as a low-cal alternative to pizza with cheese. Clean, spacious, comfy, friendly, tasty, and reasonably priced. A big winner worthy of many special trips back for an eat-in experience.

Mad C.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but the pizza here is simply delicious. Menu has salads, pizzas, and dessert. If you are someone who must have bread, or apatizers, then go in knowing they don't have em That doesn't really seem to matter though, just split a salad. In fact, one large pizza by itself is usually perfect portions for my wife any myself. Decent wine and beer selection, but you can't order anything at the bar? Not sure what they are going for, but you can only sit at the bar if you order dinner there. All the ingredients are organic and all natural, and it comes through in the food. YUM

Dirgni S.

This is my favorite pizza place now. It is a thin-crust pizza, which I love. The salad is also excellent. I love that they use all natural and locally grown produce. My only complaint is that the waiters come by too often and ask if "everything is OK". Arrrrrg. They interrupt your conversation to ask this. Once is enough! After that they should just drift by now and then so if there is a problem the customer can say, "Excuse me" and get the problem resolved. Too many restaurants confuse this constant pestering with good service. The wait staff here is very nice, so I hate to complain, but this is one of my pet peeves. Edited to remove a star because they are still doing the "is everything OK" type thing ad naseum. Yesterday, I had literally just put the first forkful of salad in my mouth, when the waitress zoomed in and asked, "How's the salad?" Well, I don't know. My taste buds haven't had a chance to send a message to my brain yet. GO AWAY!

I went to this organic pizza joint for lunch about a week ago. It gave me kind of a weird "everybody here is trying really hard to be granola" vibe. I spent some time out in Seattle where this is the norm and it really did bug the hell out of me. I am not really into this whole deal where people think they should get a frigging medal because they are crunchy. Enough already - take a shower and shave your legs every once in a while. But I digress. The food here was pretty good. They have a menu that seemed like it had about a dozen options for lunch, and then they had two specials. That day I tried both the veggie special which was cool because I am a big fan of artichokes, and the meat special, which was sweet because meatballs make everything better. They were very proud of themselves for using local organic produce. I really could care less as long as it tastes okay. The drinks were weird. I got a "hot lemonade." It tasted just like it sounds - like lemonade, but hot enough to burn your mouth. No other word to describe it but weird. Not in a bad way, but once again - I just felt like they were trying too hard for that alternative vibe. They did seem to have a good selection of micro brews, so maybe I'll have to go there after work and see if the waitresses look less crunchy after a few beers. Price was decent - $13 for a lemonade and a large single person pizza. Get there early - lunch rush was crowded and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. Service was a bit slow at times. All in all, I'll go back. Maybe I'll buy some sandals and grow out my hair to fit in there.

Went there for lunch on Sunday, it wasn't too crowded and we were quickly seated. Ordered a couple beers and a salad while waiting for our pizza. I ordered a sausage pie with pepperoni and GF selected a vegetable pizza. I enjoyed watching the guys make the pies in the wood fired ovens. The food was good, nice thin crust and plenty of toppings. Service was was also good, the servers brought out food in a timely manner and quickly refilled our glasses. I would like to try some of the other pizzas, interesting selections. The crowd was very laid back and people seemed to enjoy sitting around talking...a nice relaxed environment. They also have a room for private functions.

Jeremy B.

The pizza is very underwhelming. I was highly unimpressed with their combinations and the taste of a few of their pizzas. Sure, sure, it's organic and all....but I guess if you want good flavor, you need to go un-organic. The restaurant itself is nothing to write home about. The menus are lackluster and really dont offer a good variety. I wish I could write more about the pizza, but I guess the build up and everyone saying great things about it make my expectations high. I was highly dissapointed. You're better off going to the local pizza shop and getting a pizza that actually tastes good.

Andy L.

An hour wait for THIS? Flatbread Company confirms all the cliches about the dearth of quality restaurants in the suburbs. The pizza is well made and perhaps if you treat this as a takeout experience, that's all that should matter. But dining in, the decor resembles a cross between Plaster Funtime and Trader Joe's, and the ersatz "peace/love/'60s" imagery seems to come straight out of the corporate office. The servers mini course on the local origins of your produce add up to an ordinary salad. Desserts which are described as straight out of the oven seem re-heated and uninspired. Compared with, say, Bertucci's, you get a superior pizza. But as an overall dining package, Flatbread Company is ordinary and surprisingly pricey for what you get.

Catherine H.

Went in with 3 friends for dinner. We each ordered a personal size pizza, and shared. All three pizzas were fantastic, and more than enough food for all of us. We had the bbq pork pizza, a taco like pizza, one with onions and mushrooms, and the daily special of pesto veggie. Each pizza was so different, I don't think I can choose a favorite. I would also HIGHLY recommend the seasonal dessert of warm donuts with ice cream. Soooo good. Our waitress was really nice as well. I will definitely be back.

This place is really fantastic. You know how when you eat your average pizza ( ie. Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc) , afterwards you have that over stuffed feeling like you just gorged on a block of melted cheese (which, let's face it, you probably did if you eat the run of the mill pizza)? That NEVER happens when you eat flatbread's pizza. Its really great tasting pizza, and you're getting all natural, locally grown, organic food. Its pretty much the only pizza I'll eat if I'm just eating in the area. Go there and enjoy!
(5)
Morgan W.

Great pizza... Even if you don't regard pizza as a major food group. I personally go for the simple in menus, and this is pretty simple: salad, pizza, and a few desserts. They're even simplifying the beer menu by eliminating bottles in favor of more taps... And they have an excellent beer selection. The focus is a winner here: the pizza is really, really good, with lots of high quality ingredients and a focus on local stuff. Pizza for the kiddies and good beer for the adults. That is a real winner in my book.

Matthew D.

I currently live in New York and although NYC pizza is king, I will always regard Flatbread as some of the best pizza I've ever had. The product is spot on from the toppings, the cheese, the sauce, right down to the crust. It's a light pie that is absolutely delectable. It's not greasy like some of the other junk that calls itself pizza (Divito's/Pizza Hut) and it truly is delicious. The atmosphere is great as well for those looking for something beyond the food. The rustic feel is great and the oven is located right in the dining area, as well as the kitchen. Whenever I visit MA (originally from Billerica) I always make a trip to Flatbread to satisfy my craving. I've had many great slices out here in NY (Lombardi's and Bleecker Street Pizza at the top of the list) but Flatbread will always be number 1 in my heart and stomach.

Rustic, homey, open atmosphere with a giant wood fired oven and a small bar. Instead of "Pizza", everything is referred to as "Flatbreads". The first set of items you see are "flatbreads" without sauce which I thought was odd and slightly confusing being the first thing presented on a menu at a Pizza joint. All ingredients are organic and they pull no punches in letting you know. We ordered the Nitrate Free Pepperoni Flatbread. It was just enough for 2 people, but one was a woman. If 2 men are going to feast you may want to upgrade in size. The pizza was crisp and all ingredients tasted great. I was surprised at the amount of grease on the pizza seeing as though the cheese is supposed to be fresh, but it didn't hurt the taste. It could have used more sauce as well. We went on a Saturday afternoon at about 1 PM and it was astonishing how many young children were there. With about 15 of the tables being occupied by patrons, 8 or 9 had very young children(under 4) with them. If you have small children that you can't control and want pizza, there is a Chuck-E-Cheese right down the street. One baby was crying almost the entire time and really hurt my experience, but I recommend the food anytime.

This restaurant is quickly becoming a regular haunt for me and my husband. Sometimes the waitstaff keep you waiting for a bit, but they're usually very friendly, and the food is fantastic. I love that their food is organic, and most of the ingredients are from local farms as well. My favorite off their menu is the Bedford Community Flatbread (basically mixed veggies), but I almost always go for one of their specials because they're usually amazing. The lemonade is also really tasty (sweetened with maple syrup), and the brownie sundae dessert is always delicious. I love the open design of the place, and the kitchen is kept very clean because you can see everything! The decor can seem a bit silly, but you just have to go with it.

Flatbread Co. uses all natural cheeses, meats and vegetables to make otherwise standard combos into delicious thin crust, wood-fired pizzas. The crust is the best part, light and crisp, and the toppings came in good proportions to each other and were very tasty. All in all, an excellent pizza, but a somewhat small menu takes away slightly from my review. Both pizzas we tried were delicious, far better than just combining those ingredients at your run of the mill pizzeria, but I would have liked more interesting options to choose from off the menu before creating my own. Nothing against mushrooms and onions, but it's not really an unheard of pizza combo. That said, I'll certainly be going back to sample what I hear is a rotating menu.

Boring but expensive salad, skimpy toppings on pizza. We recently ordered a sausage pizza here. The pizza literally had one tiny piece of sausage. Disappointing. Another time we asked for more cilantro on our pizza. The server came back and said "sorry, we're out of cilantro." I think he should have warned us they were out when he was taking our order. Good beer and desserts.

I loved this place. I went in for a late lunch around 2:15pm. The staff were very attentive taking time to describe the specials and the beers on tap. I had a Carne Asada Pizza with carmelized onions, peppers, mushrooms, and 4 cheeses - it was really awesome - very fresh and delicious. I liked the look and feel of the place also - very relaxed.

I was really excited to try this place because it is right next to my office and has all natural, all organic food. While the pizza was pretty good and the atmosphere was a nice change from the strip malls that surround it, I probably won't go back for lunch because it just doesn't work as a quick, inexpensive workday lunch. The small pizzas all costs about $9, which is a lot to spend on a lunch for me. My main complaint though is that the servers were pretty flaky, in an annoying, inefficient way. Examples: - There was some confusion and debate between 2 servers as to who would get to serve our table, so we ended up getting a somewhat exhaustive discussion of the menu options from 2 different people. One or no overview would have been fine. - They burned my friend's pizza, brought it out with an apology, and then said they'd make her a new one. Fine. But our waiter actually didn't know any of this and came by a couple times, asking "everything look good??" - It took our server 15 minutes to bring a drink refill (again, fine), but walked by every couple minutes, saying "I'll be right back with that refill!!"

Cindy Q.

Read all the yelp reviews which don't usually fail me but this time not good. Called at 4:37pm asking if there is usually a wait at 5pm and was told no, but will add me to the call ahead seating. We arrived at 5:05pm to find that we were not on their list. The hostess then said, "I will add you and trust that you are telling the truth, there will be a 10 min. wait." We said ok and ended up waiting for 30 mins. Server nice but not as attentive as I would have liked. Our bev. glasses were empty & never got offered refills. Food came and was so, so, edible but nothing to rave about. Restaurant had big bulky menus with little options to choose from. Kitchen seemed chaotic. Could hear and see girl lifting pizza asking if it was burnt. Noticed tables around ours had slow service as well. Atmosphere noisy, felt like I was screaming at my husband entire time. However, great for our loud, cranky, hungry 3 yr old as no one could hear him fussing. Casual, rustic (& that is being nice) atmosphere. If you are looking for great pizza with quality ingredients who also support local farms and ingredients, try Stone Hearth Pizza! Hands down, 10 times better. Will not be returning to Flatbread in Bedford.

We went here last night and had a fabulous dinner. They have yummy salads with a delicious dressing. We split two small pizzas - the veggie special and the sausage. DELICIOUS!! We also split a dessert - chocolate chip banana bread...served warm. The decor of this place is totally cool - I can't wait to go back again.

gluten free PIZZA! rented a zipcar to get out there and it was well worth it. you can watch your pizza being cooked in the brick oven - it reminded me of a place in perugia, italy. the ambiance of the place is fabulous. everything is organic and they are very flexible and knowledgeable about food allergies.

Just had lunch again at Flatbread with my wife. The service was prompt and extremely courteous, the wait minimal, and the pizza absolutely the best I've ever eaten. And that says a lot since I am a pizza fan and have eaten the best available in New York and San Francisco - both places where absolutely fantastic pizza can be found.

My friend and I came here for lunch based on the reviews we read on Yelp. It was a very cute little place with a bit of the Northampton MA feeling. The pizza was good, we ordered the pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The only thing that I wasn't too crazy about was the pepperoni. It looked and tasted more like a sausage to me. The prices were reasonable and it looked like a kid friendly place.

Very enjoyable restaurant. The food was delicious. You can taste the farm fresh ingredients. Love the fact they do fundraising every week on Tuesday night. Also they tap into local farms for the produce. It was truly tasty.

We have been back 2 or three times since.... in a month. I mean lets me honest, i'm throwing like, 10 allergies at a waitress and this place can feed me. AND IT'S GOOD. I just want to go back to my previous review because I forgot to mention the pepperoni - it was disgusting. Like, really, really bad. But I don't care, because everything else is amazing. I now, everytime, without fail (and it's SO GOOOOOOOOOD) get the Cheese & Herb with extra mozz, sausage and caramelized onions. It's the balls. I think I need to start skipping dessert. I think it does have soy/nuts somewhere in the way of getting to me touching it. Which is sad.... but I'll still be back for my pizza and downeast cider!

Not your typical pizza joint. No. It's a pleasantly different kind of pizza, no cheese, but oh soooo delicious. I've been there many time, tried at least 8-9 of their 'pizzas'. All of them were amazing. This place can get pretty busy, but there's plenty of parking, plenty of cold beer while you wait to get seated. I love this place. Would highly recommend. Will I go back? Absolutely!!!

Another place Yelp led me to when we were driving around indicisive. I love thin crust and interesting ingredients. I didn't even know they had a full bar. They were fairly busy for a Sunday at 3pm but no excuse to be left sitting there for 10+ minutes without an acknowledgement. That always sets the tone for a meal. Not sure if there was confusion but when our server finally came over she was unapologetic. Whatever! Our pizzas came out in I'd say 5-7 minutes and they were perfect so I didn't complain. Super thin, super flavorful and organic! Definitely want to try their reasonably priced cocktails ASAP!.

Great place. Locally sourced products create fresh and inviting pizzas. One note. If you don't like children, and this is not the place for you. It is crawling with the kids. Always. Every time of the day. That being said, the pizza ovens are right there to watch them make the pizzas, the staff is attentive and sweet. Where do you go, get at least one of the special pizzas of the day. Usually very surprising flavors and combos, but yummy food. Perritte with a nice glass of wine on microbrew. And you are done. Perfection

I would say the pizza is average for brick oven. When I went a couple weeks ago, my group got two kinds - Jimmy's free range chicken and Jay's heart. The chicken on Jimmy's free range was a bit dry and the crust was too floppy. Jay's heart was better but I've definitely had better brick oven pizza. I would say each large pizza feeds around 3 people - but only if they're not in the mood to pig out :). What I liked most about this place was the ambiance. It is rustic and warm - I could definitely spend a couple hours here after lunch catching up with friends. I got warm apple cider in a cute jar with a hand knit koozie my last visit and it fit the vibe perfectly. The staff was also friendly and accommodating - especially with getting different requests on each half of the pizzas. The food came out reasonably fast but honestly I would not have minded waiting a bit longer. I would come back because I loved the ambiance so I really wanted to love the pizza. Unfortunately the pizza I had when I came here was just average.

I am in love with this restaurant. It is now on my must go list for the Boston area. The food is made fresh with local farmer grown organic products. The staff is friendly, knowledgable and attentive. The atmosphere is nice, the food is delicious. And if you get the blueberry ale they donate $1 to an animal place. This is a great restaurant run by very good people. I believe they also donate a portion of all dinners from Tuesday nights as well to a charity (I don't remember which one). Do yourself a favor and check it out. Get a fresh salad, try a flatbread pizza (I recommend the chipotle pork one -so good). For dessert get the banana bread with pumpkin icecream. If I was a local I would go here all the time. Because I'm not local it will be on my must stop list every time I am in the area. I heart this place so much.

If you're looking for awesome pizza, local craft beer and a down-to-earth ambiance.. look no further. This place re-defines pizza. They used locally sourced, organic ingredients for all their pizzas and salads. They have 3 weekly rotating pizza specials and a rotating salad special. The have an open-kitchen, so you can see the staff throwing dough, preparing pizza and baking pizzas in the wood fired clay oven. In the spring/summer season they even grow their own vegetables in a garden outside to use in-house. It doesn't get any fresher than that! Also, They carry Maine Beer Company on draft, which is an incredible brewing company. Not a lot of places in Massachusetts is on the list to receive kegs from them. Bottom Line: The first time I came here, I never wanted to eat pizza anywhere else again. This place is truly excellent!

Just went back for lunch. The flavors were better, service was still very good. Maybe the previous visit was an anomaly. Liked it better this time.

H0LY SMOKES. This place is a GEM. I have been working in the Burlington/Bedford area for almost a year and some coworkers have been suggesting we head there for a while. I am so glad that I did. Each of us ordered a small flatbread (one vegetarian with bacon, one homemade sausage, and one mopsys with pork) and we shared them family style. I'd say in general a small flatbread would probably feed about 2 people depending on how much everyone eats. Each flatbread was tasty but I have to say the Mopsys was my favorite. All of the ingredients for each of the flatbreads was absolutely delicious - so many different flavors and textures. The inside of the restaurant was so eclectic and with the cold afternoon it felt so warm kind of like a ski lodge. I cannot wait to head back again.

Great local, organic pizzas. We split 3 pizzas. A veggie, hamburger and the bacon/potato specials. Awesome selection of beers (Maine Lunch). Great service and fun atmosphere

As usual I was staying in Burlington on Thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday night we needed a place to eat. A quick scan of Yelp revealed about a million places within a 2-3 mile radius of the hotel. There are more expensive places like the Capital Grill and Legal Seafood down to low budget places like Chilis and everything in between. I have been to some of the places (like Legal) and wanted to try something different. After trying (unsuccessfully) to get a reservation at a decent, not too expensive place I noticed The Flatbread Company was nearby. No reservations but at least they had call-ahead seating. I have been to the Flatbread Co. in Avon, CT a couple times and liked it. It kind of cool and decent without being expensive or fancy (jeans definitely acceptable). I think this "chain" has about a dozen or so restaurants sprinkled around New England. This place looks very similar to the one in Avon once you're inside. They have a big hot oven where you can watch the flatbreads being made. It definitely goes for the "crunchy" New-England feel. I'm not sure if they hire only crunchy people or if they "encourage" the staff to dress that way. Overall it feels like you just stepped into any place in Burlington Vermont. And that's ok with me. We called ahead fairly early (maybe 6pm) as we were expecting big crowds and I put my name in. They said 35-45 minutes. We got there about 6.30 and waited a few minutes so the call-ahead process worked as advertised. It should be noted that flatbreads are not pizzas. They are similar but if you're expecting "pizza" in any traditional Italian sense of the word you're not going to get it here. But that doesn't mean it's not good, it's just different. My favorite is the chicken pizza with black beans, corn, tomatoes, etc. Kind of a Tex-Mex type thing. But I've had the opportunity to try nearly all the flatbreads and they are all pretty good. Just pick the one that appeals to you and I don't think you'll be disappointed. A small is good for one person, a large for two. Also try the salads as they are also good. As you might expect, their shtick is organic, sustainable etc. I'm always skeptical when places make this claim but the ingredients do seem fresh and above average, especially for a chain. It's neither cheap nor expensive; I think we spend about $65 total for two people with one drink each and no dessert. That feels about right to me but if you're a family of 4 on a budget it might be more than you want to spend. Overall if you're looking for a decent place with quality ingredients that's family and large-group friendly this is a good choice.

I rarely crave pizza, but I'm really glad we decided to go to Flatbread! The bf and I ordered a large flatbread, 1/2 margherita and 1/2 hamburger (both were specials of the day). The large was bigger than we expected, but since we were hungry, we managed to finish it. I really enjoyed the margherita pizza; the tomato sauce was amazing! The hamburger special was ok, the meat was drier than I would have liked. Did I mention that the flatbread was wood-fired? We got to watch them make the flatbread and put it in the ovens, which was highly entertaining as we waited for our food. Another great thing about Flatbread Co. is that all their ingredients are and locally sourced! I'm not sure if it was only for Earth Day, but a separate table was designated the Arts table with paper and crayons set out for children to draw to their heart's content. It's a great way to occupy children if you have any, but also a great way to end our date as twenty-something year olds :) The restaurant even features some of the art on their menus, it's really cute. I would definitely visit again to try more of their flatbreads!

Great flatbread pizzas with lots of options for vegetarians. The proportions are generous; I was very satisfied with my "small" size. I would like to see more meat options on their menu. The dessert selection was mediocre. We shared the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae. The cookie tasted like half baked cake. The icecream was quite good though.

Came here with a buddy of mine and well I got to stay I wasnt impressed about the place. The place was loud, the wait staff was friend but took forever to get waited upon, and the pizza we had hamburger and mushroom - well it has no flavor it was just blahhhh. It wasnt worth what we paid for it. I will not be coming here again...

Delicious pizza and great beer/cider selection. Me and my friend got the Cheese & Herb pizza, and it was so good. No red sauce, which is my preference. I also got a Down East Cider which came with a cinnamon sugar rim. A little pricey for pizza, but that's Bedford for you. The quality is worth it. I look forward to going there again!

This is one my favorite place for Pizza and beer. Plenty of parking in the plaza. This resturant is always busy, you can call in advance to be on wait list. They don't take reservations over the phone. It's a great place for go with family. Service is very good. Love the pizza, very good taste and plenty of choices. Flatbread Company is Definitely the first name comes to my mind when someone says pizza.

Pricey portions but satisfying toppings and local sourcing make flatbread a unique and successful regional chain. My favorite pizza nouveau for sure.
