I really like candlepin bowling. My weak arms don't suffer as much as compared to regular bowling. I was super excited when I heard flatbread company was opening in Brighton just a hop and skip away from me. I adore the Davis square location. We came here early afternoon on a weekend and it wasn't too crowded. We had a 30ish minute wait at the bar. We ordered the sausage flatbread at the bar. It was um, okay. It was really sweet. I guess my fault for not noticing that it has a sweet ingredient in the pizza. But even then, it felt more like a sweet pizza than savory so that was super disappointing. The dough was also okay- itself was kind of chewy. I don't think I would be ordering another flatbread from them again. We played for 2 hours and I also got a sundae because bowling builds up an appetite! I got the brownie sundae and it was alright. The brownie itself was not exceptional at all. It would have been a totally different story if the brownie was warmed up and served with the ice cream. I love the mix of hot and cold! So for 2 hours of bowling, shoe rentals, brownie sundae, one drink, taxes and tip, it came out to $100 (the pizza was paid for on the bar tab). I'm not sure $100 was well spent here. It's kind of expensive in my book. I don't recall it being as pricey in Davis Square. read more

I hosted a birthday party for my boyfriend here and it was awesome! Evan was really easy to work with over email. I had tons of questions and he was really nice to deal with. They were nice and let me bring in balloons and a cake. We were able to find on Street parking. Otherwise there are garages. I think someone said it was $5 to park there? Not sure if that's validated parking or not. For bowling, there are about 6 lanes and I was able to reserve two for two hours (maximum time allowed). I believe six are allowed to a lane. The seating is a little tight but we didn't mind standing. The lane is pretty slippery- must be because it's so new! I should mention that not only is this candlepin, but also you keep score by hand. This is what we grew up on! :) Also, just to note, we were in the second to left lane and the people in the far left lane had to keep walking through our group to get to their lane. That was just a minor inconvenience though. The pizzas were really good and I like that they cut them into strips because we got four pizzas and it was easy to try each of them, and we could quickly eat a slice before it was our turn to bowl. I was surprised to see that they were out of Bud light though! Overall it was a great time! My friends and I can't wait to go back! read more

Gather a group of 8+ and make a reservation! There's a minimum 2 lanes and a max of 2 hours you can reserve (check the website in case that changes). The pizza was great and it's thin crust so you can eat a lot of it, along with yummy craft beers (they have other drinks but their beer selection stood out) and dessert. I really liked their pepperoni which is thin and just the right amount of chewy - probably because it's from an organically fed grass grazing local cow. There was a special dessert tonight that was a donut sundae with a donut from Allston's own Twin Donuts. That should be served every night! I may have a stroke (from the dessert not the pizza) but we really enjoyed our visit. read more

I have been wanting to try this cool spot for a while now because it opened up really close to my apartment. I finally went the other night and I was beyond impressed! The staff is helpful and friendly. My waiter was Steven and I couldn't be more thankful for how he went above and beyond for our group! He was very personable and attentive through our visit. We got a few of the rotating cocktail flights they offer which is so cool and unlike anywhere else in the area. I was able to try out 4oz glasses of their margaritas and sangria (they switch up which cocktail is on the flights periodically- can't wait to go back and try another!). We got a few delicious pizzas with the homemade ranch too. It was great! read more

AMAZING. wonderful food, wonderful service. we walked in on new year's eve and we're soo busy. but everything came out so fast and was so so delicious. we gave a 100% tip so good. read more

My favorite restaurant outside of Boston!!!! Best pizza I have ever had, and it has been amazing every time I have gone. They have many creative pizzas and even vegan-friendly ones which is awesome! Not to mention great organic salads. The service and atmosphere are also amazing. I always recommend going to restaurant early to bowl and then after getting pizzas. It's a must when in the area and looking for good pizza! read more

Quick and dirty review. 1. Crust light and chewy. A Little lacking in flavor. 2. Sauce. Again a bit light, doesn't stand out. 3. Cheese. Sparse. Flavor, again lacking. 4. Pepperoni. AGAIN, No kick. Reminds me of the Hillshire Farms brand pepperoni I get at the market. Unfortunately not a pepperoni I buy anymore as it just isn't good. Pass on this one please. read more

Pizza, beers, bowling... what's not to like?! This place just opened and it's a great addition to the neighborhood. A casual restaurant the entire family can enjoy with great service, food and entertainment. The wood-fired pizza ovens set the ambiance and pump out delicious pies. A huge bar to grab a drink with mostly craft beers on tap. And lastly, old school candle pin bowling. More of an art than a science. Has anyone ever got a strike in candle pin? Like ever? Anyways, I love this place and can't wait to go back! read more

Great pizza and beer. Kids loved the action. Great atmosphere. Certainly would go back.

Hands down my new favourite pizza place. It's so good!! Their pizza selection is fantastic and they have this dark beer that tastes so freaking good! Tastes like liquid dark chocolate and pairs beautifully with the pizza! YUM! read more

I just ordered delivery from Flatbread Company Brighton and ordered a large sausage, a small chicken flatbread, and a small salad. I am so disappointed at how bland all of the pizza was. I waited 90 minutes for the delivery and then when it came the pizza was cold. All of the toppings on the chicken flatbread are dry (beans, corn, chicken) and the sausage flatbread just doesn't have any flavor. I tried to put some salt and pepper on it to save it but it didn't really work. There's a lot of options to order pizza delivery and I chose flatbread because it had unique options and I was okay with the price for it. Defffffinitely won't be ordering food from here again :( read more

good food, I love bowling! unfortunately it was way too hot to stay longer they need better ac.

Great for a quick custom pizza and a beer before or after public skate at Warrior Ice Center. Attentive staff, great selection and candlepin. Love it read more

Ordered a pizza for pickup-asked for information on what kind of vegan cheese was on the vegan options ie soy based etc as I have an allergy. The person on the phone could not understand the question and it took far to get an answer that is quite simple. After ordering I was told 20-25 minutes. I arrived 30 minutes later to pick up the pizza and was told it was not done yet. I waited another 12 minutes and watched the host go grab the same pizza that had been sitting waiting the entire time I had been there and handed it to me. At this point it was quite clear the pizza was cold. I brought this to the attention of the host and he acted surprised as if he had no idea why it would be cold. We were made a new pizza, however after more wasted time and over an hour of my time gone, I am completely dissatisfied. Upon opening the box again, I noticed this time there was no cheese. I am quite confused as to what is so unbelievably hard about taking an order and making a pizza. I am very intentional with where I spend my time and money and after wasting both of these things I can confidently say I will not be returning and will ensure no one I know does either. read more

So impressed with the attention to service. In my order, I indicated that I had a medical condition that required all veggies to be well-cooked. Despite it being a busy hour, not 5 minutes after I placed my order through GrubHub I received a call from the restaurant. She was concerned about what I had ordered and wanted to be sure they got it right. Turns out an adjustment was definitely needed. Without her call, I would not have been able to eat my meal. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with that level of service for a $20 take-out order. 5 stars! read more

This place is awesome. Pizza is great, atmosphere is amazing and the employees are really nice. The reasoning for 4 stars is because on their website, they have an option to make a reservation but does not actually work. We made a reservation for 6:30pm to reserve a lane but when we got there he told us the online reservations is something they did not set up. We were lucky enough to have an open lane available and bowl for an hour (wish we could have more time). Very convenient location for those who live in the Allston/Brighton area and can't wait to see what else they build in Boston Landing. read more

Honestly pretty good. Had really really low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Good crust. Good flavors. Wouldn't seek it out, but wouldn't protest going. read more

Compared to other Flatbreads that I've been to, the service at this one is subpar compared to the others. Service is slow. Mistakes in the order. There's only 10 people here so it's not like it's a busy night. Let's see if they do the right thing and comp my order... yeah! They did the right thing. changing to 4 stars read more

Flatbread Company Brighton was kind enough to allow two of Brighton's Senior Care organizations (Presentation Rehabilitation & Providence House Assisted Living), to form a Memory Cafe event taking place on the 1st Wednesday of every month from 11:00am-12:30pm. Today was our first event, and we are so thankful to their team! They have allowed us to provide Candle Pin Bowling in a fun and dynamic atmosphere and served an assortment of delicious Pizza to our attendees! The people who attended our event today had a great time bowling, laughing, interacting with new friends, but most of all enjoying the DELICIOUS wood fired pizza! The service was wonderful for our big group, and everyone was impressed that there was a good amount of parking available right outside. If you haven't come by Flatbread yet, come check it out ASAP! It is one of the best spots in Boston Landing and they truly value our Community! read more

The ambiance at this Flatbread is nice. There is plenty of seating and bowling alleys both upstairs and downstairs. The service was good. The menu is pretty limited with just salad, pizza and dessert. We shared the cheese and herb and the sausage flatbreads. The cheese and herb flatbread was pretty good. The sausage flatbread lacked flavor, especially considering all of the ingredients that are on it. I found the crust to be tough as well. read more

I hosted a women's Meetup group of 15 women for a Friday night, and was really happy with the event. I made the reservation which was pretty easy and they were willing to do separate checks for food and drinks. I had everyone pay me for the bowling and paid that all as one bill. We met at the bar first and all of the staff were very friendly. Our server, Sage, was very friendly and accommodating, and kept track of everyone's separate orders. The food was good and I got a lot of good feedback. People asked if we could go back there again. There was plenty of free street parking, but there are a couple of paid lots within a block. read more

We went in for dinner the other night before heading into town for a concert. We had a few pizzas ( Vegan) and the special with sweet corn and chipotle sauce ( which was amazing) The only negative feedback is if you just want dinner and people are bowling it is SO loud. We couldn't hear each other talk. I think you should consider closing off the 2nd floor to create a sound barrier so you can enjoy dinner. For 3 lanes of bowling it is just way to loud! read more

My boyfriend and I had dinner there and it was great. The pizza is made in the open so you can watch which is fun. Flatbread = thin crust, just a heads up. The pizza is so yummy. Because of the oven, it's cozy and warm and casual dress is totally ok. (I assume summer won't be terribly hot because they seem to have a pretty robust a/c system). It's a little loud with the bowling lanes, but hey, that's what it is. BOWLING: There's candlepin bowling. Some lanes are for reservations and some are available for walk-ins. It's pretty popular so the wait time might be long if you walk-in. PARKING HINT: On-street parking is tight. Park in the Warrior Ice Arena garage which is on the reverse side of the building. Bring your ticket in to Flatbread to get it validated for a cheaper rate. read more

We had a great team dinner for my daughter's team.The team (15-19 year old) had a fun time bowling while the parents were able to eat, drink and socialize. Staff were great and very attentive. Lots of different orders but everything was good and everyone enjoyed themselves! read more

Sooo happy this place opened right down the street from my apartment! Such a great vibe and great food. Our waiter was Steven and he was the best waiter ever! He is so nice and fun and goes the extra mile. Not only is the staff so amazing and attentive the food and environment is great too! Definitely recommend coming here for a date night or with a group of people :) read more

This place is fantastic. Modern but fun decor. We started with a beer flight and a cocktail flight served in candlepins and a delicious salad special (bacon and blueberry). Awesome local craft beer selection and local vodka for my cocktail flight. We got two flatbreads, one with red sauce and one without - both were great and the "bread" itself was top notch. If you are not a big eater a Small is definitely enough to share with a friend. Friendly staff and attentive manager - will definitely be back! read more

I love this place very much! When you have any problems the owner Tom is very nice and helpful. The pizza there is excellent!!! read more

flatbread is by far one of my favorite restaurants such good food even the salad is amazing!! i've been to 4 of their locations, my family and i cannot get enough fllatbread read more

What a great new addition to the Brighton scene! Great vibe, awesome pizza and bowling - what better way to spend a night! Try it...you won't be disappointed! read more

Great pizza, atmosphere, and bowling. brought my kids here to bowl and they had a ball. the staff really go above and beyond to make sure you're having a good experience. we had a server named Emily and she was amazing! 5 stars hands down and I'm already planning my next family night there. Thank you Emily for being so kind and attentive! read more

Always have had good experiences here! Super friendly staff and great food. Goes above and beyond my expectations, I'd recommend!

Our organization was looking for a place for our 25 person holiday gathering and came across The Flatbread Company. Tom and his crew took amazing care of us from start to finish! We had a private space on the second floor with our own bowling lanes - the quintessential New England candlepin experience! The waitstaff was phenomenal and the food was even better! (With several food allergies/preferences in our group it can be tricky to find a menu that fits but there were options for everyone.) Highly recommended!! read more

It wasn't a bad atmosphere and the employees are friendly but there was just something very bland about the menu and food. They could've done so much with this and I feel like all their options are mediocre and the Homemade sausage was just so weak when it came to flavor. Also they call it flatbread but it's really just a pizza. I didn't hate the place but I probably wouldn't come back either. It was very "meh". read more

Very good pizza! It's a little pricey considering it's pizza but always worth it. More of a "once in a while" place, but never any regrets! The vibe of the restaurant is always upbeat and welcoming. They have bowling and a bar so anyone can enjoy. I recommend the pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Their pepperonis are extremely delicious and well worth. read more

Nowhere near as good as any other Flatbread I've ever been to. Even the ingredients on the pizza seemed to be different. At the Amesbury location you get this great nitrate free pepperoni and in Brighton it didn't look or taste the same at all and the quantity of toppings was light too. I mean the bowling is obviously fun but the pizza wasn't what I want from Flatbread. I probably won't go back. read more

I was really impressed by this place! Fresh, organic, local ingredients. Delicious fresh pizza made out of the beautiful handmade ovens. Unreal. Best salads around, super refreshing and the perfect addition to any pizza. Awesome beers on tap and their brownie ice cream Sundae for dessert is untouchable. Great ambiance for a nice dinner with family or fun outing with friends. Beautiful bowling allies. What could be better? Pizza, beer, bowling... and brownie ice cream Sundae! Check this place out! read more

This place is awesome! The owner/manager was extremely accommodating when we arrived and there was a wait. Delicious pizza, great bowling, excellent customer service. We will come back again and again! read more

The pizza was great, but clearly the skyrocketing popularity of the bowling needs some kinks worked out. When they first opened, you could walk in and bowl, no wait. Clearly word has gotten out, and now you can't make a bowling reservation less than 48 hours in advance or for fewer than 8 people. When I called this morning I was told that they hold two lanes for "walk-ins" and was advised to come for dinner, put my name on the list, and hope to get a lane by the time we were done eating. But when we arrived at 6pm we were told they actually had no lanes open for walk-ins until 10pm. I had some disappointed kids! Would have gone elsewhere if I had been given accurate information when I called in the morning. And the staff did not appear to care at all about the frustration they caused. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood; I hope they can get their act together service-wise. read more

Last weekend, I hosted a charitable fundraising event in their private upstairs area and when I say people raved about it, I'd be underselling. People loved the food, the space, and of course the bowling! The pizza and salad we had were both out of this world good and the candle pin bowling was a blast for a group of mid in our mid 20's and 30's. Great beer selection and the service was fantastic. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great time! read more

It's so expensive 1 small shot for 15 dollars and the bartender give you the paper to sign without any receipt and 1 big cup of vodka for 15 dollars read more
