I love me some bowling. Cheap bowling is even better. Getting pizza and beer delivered to you while you are bowling is just f-ing amazing! Beer selection is good. Pizza is awesome. best place for a cheap night with guaranteed laughter. read more

Flatbread is 5 stars hands down when it comes to the food, atmosphere service and bowling. That is if you are lucky enough to get a bowling alley, and I have every time I've been there. I give the minus 4 stars for there management and there "reservation" system, which changes EVERYTIME I have tried to ensure an alley. Let me preface this by saying you can not just walk in and get a bowling alley. You have to be put on a list and the call you. Or you can call when they open to get on a waiting list. BUT you have to "check in" when you get there and you name goes to the top of the list, and then they call you!?!?!? Why are all these lanes unavailable I ask? Because they are reserved for parties of 10 or more. OH!!!! Okay, I call in advance with a request to reserve some lanes for a party of ten. They tell me I have to email the manager. I do, he does not email me back. Finally I call to speak to a manager and he nonchalantly refers to his reservation list for Sunday and it's booked ALL DAY until 9:00. I ask him if he is booked with parties of 10 or more ALL DAY??? Because that is the only true way you can get a reservation right? It is a very kid-unfriendly approach. You try to tell a 2 and a 4 year old why they can't bowl at an empty lane, it stinks. And that's another thing, often when we go there there will be empty lanes? How is there room for that with the above policy. Get it together, jeesh! read more

Took the kids and had a blast. We did it all. We had pizza, dessert, drinks and then we went candlestick bowling. Our waiter was fantastic. The kids had entertainment and good food. Completely enjoyable from start to finish. Wish we lived closer so we could go back. read more

The only reason this place even gets 1 star is because of the Pizza. Very good. But, if you're originally from Somerville and spent your childhood days hanging at Saco's Bowl Haven, you will HATE this place, as i did. First off, the staff could't have been ruder. Our waiter was good, but the girl running the bowling was so rude she made my skin crawl, and it took every ounce of energy for me not to go"somerville" on her. I called to be put on their "wait" list at 11am, and upon arriving at 6 pm with my family i was told it would be an hour and a half to bowl....OK, we decided to get a table and eat and wait it out. about 30 minutes later as our 4 large pizzas were just about arriving, i got the call (from the rude bowl girl, or watever she's called) that our lane was ready. she rudely told me that if i didn't drop everything and move my entire family (pizzas and all) to the lane, i would lose it. OK, so we gathered up our salad plates, jackets, umbrellas, drinks, etc and arrived at the lane that was probably big enough for 3 people to eat comfortably, let alone 8 of us. so when i asked that rude bowling wench if we could finish eating at our table because there was no way we could all sit and eat comfortably at the lane, she told me that i was out of luck and would have to wait another 2 hours for another lane to open up. needless to say, we weren't able to bowl that night. These people are just visiting, but they think they're at home.....I will never step foot in this place again. davis square if officially ruined. read more

Flatbread Company states in its mission, which they have posted on the wall, that it is dedicated to supporting local organic farms, and to the integrity of their food and drink. Awesome. I'm sold before I even glance at the menu. They offer a rather limited selection of pizzas on their menu, but they all sound amazing. You can also create your own. A small pizza runs you about $11, and one hungry person could eat the entire thing easily. I did, and I don't have the largest of stomachs, if that gives you a better idea. Definitely get a large or multiple small pies if you plan to share. I ended up ordering Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie, because how does a pizza with smoked pork shoulder, homemade chipotle BBQ sauce, organic red onions, pineapple, mozzarella, and Vermont goat cheese not sound good?! And it was pretty fantastic. I do wish my pizza had a little more cheese (or a lot more...I'm a cheesy gal), but other than that, it was delicious. The crust, the sauce...everything was great. Speaking of great, Flatbread is one of those super duper coolio places that has free refills! So feel free to guzzle as much soda as your tummy desires while you munch down some delicious pizza pie. I came for lunch on a weekday, and the place was practically empty, but I hear that it gets crazy busy come dinnertime. Understandably so, because their pizza is damn good! read more

American Flatbread - Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Flatbread pizza is here. Honestly, this is my new go-to in Davis Square. The ambiance is vibrant, airy, colorful and well thought out. A long bar stretches nearly half the length of the joint, the biggest and most social bar in all of Davis. The bowling was not loud and obnoxious as I would have thought. Clay ovens are visible and nice touch to the environment. Great beer list, mainly micros from Massachusetts, more affordable than some of the other places in the Square ($4.50/pint). The pizza was absolutely amazing and very tasty. Great value too. $15 - $17 for a whole pizza that two people can split ($8/head is a good deal in Davis). They buy local and help local charities too. It's a great place....go. read more

My PhD advisor ordered a bunch of pizzas from Flatbread for a party after my thesis defense. He ordered all vegetarian pizzas - I only tried two kinds (pictured), but they were very delicious! I'm not even vegetarian, but I thought they were very flavorful, not that greasy, and the thin crust was great. The pizza was not soggy and the toppings held firm. read more

We went to this restaurant on a Thursday evening for a party that was being hosted by a friend. The restaurant and bowling alley are separated very well. I had my back towards the alley and could barely even notice any noise coming from the bowling alley or the children bowling as we dined. The employees were all typical of the crowd that frequents the Davis Sq. area, which isn't a bad thing. Everyone was friendly and the service was very prompt. Every time my beer was near finished, my waiter appeared with another. Also, the selection of brews is pretty much a variety of local brews. Which all were good. Our party size was in the area of 15-20 people. I'm not sure if it was complimentary but they provided the table with enough salad for everyone in the party. The salad did seem very fresh, dressed with a lot of carrots, celery, and olives. Everyone loved the salad dressing, I thought it was good, but not the dressing I prefer. My only complaint of the salad was that whoever prepared it shed a couple of hairs which made their way to my plate. It didn't have any effect of my opinion of the restaurant, because I know mistakes happen. For a pizza we picked the Somerville Community Pizza which had Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms, mozzarella & parmesan cheeses as well as their own herbs. The pizza was delicious, I like thin crust pizza a lot. All of the ingredients went well together and they didn't overwhelm the pizza with any of the toppings. It was made very well. They also had a pizza of the day which didn't sound like it was an appetizing pizza, but after viewing it, it looked great. It was a Shepherds Pie pizza. With the mashed potatoes, corn, peas and beef. One of the people at our table ordered one of these and thought it was great. Two other people ended up ordering a couple of these to go. Next time I go, if they have this pizza I'll be sure to order it. Overall the restaurant is great. I'd certainly frequent this place if I lived closer to Davis Sq. Once in a while I'll be sure to come back here for a nice pizza and some bowling, even though it's only candle-pin. read more

GRRRR.....i'd love to rate this place but there is ALWAYS an hour plus wait and when I decide I want flat bread I want it then and THEN......not an hour from then. The one time I did get to eat there it was DELIC. Good ingredients, really good pizza, good beer. I like the bar they added. Also the one in Portland, ME (that I actually got to eat at) was delicious, and didn't have an hour wait. In conclusion not worth it to be turned away MOST times. read more

Fuck Flatbreads they have a full bar and don't serve bud light. I don't want corn syrup in my damn beer. They kicked me out for being to intoxicated... probably all the corn syrup read more

We love Flatbread Pizza. It's kid-friendly (crayons and paper provided while waiting for food) and the pizzas are delicious. We are partial to the Jay's Heart (not your average cheese pizza with a bit of herbs thrown in that make it more interesting for adult palates) and the Community Flatbread (carmelized onions and mushrooms). For two adults and two kids (4 and 7), a large and a small leave more than enough leftover to pack for the kids lunch boxes the next day. On bad weather/cold days, I like to take the kids candlepin bowling here after school. If I recall correctly, they had bowling shoes as small as an 8, and if they don't have the right size, the kids are allowed to bowl in their sneakers. Also they have a "bowling helper" to let really little kids just release the ball at the top of the aluminum slide. Then as it gets towards 5pm, we order a pizza to go so that we can eat as soon as we get home. We also love how Flatbread has the Tuesday night benefits for local schools and nonprofits. Both of my kids' schools have benefited from this outreach. It's a total win-win. Thank you, Flatbread! read more

I just stopped in here for a couple beers a few days ago, and I was uber impressed. They've done an amazing remodel with the space, integrating a crunchy organic flatbread joint with a candlepin bowling alley. The whole place has a very spacious feel with exposed kitchen areas, a gigantic dining room, and an appropriately long bar backed right up against the lanes themselves. I was impressed with the friendliness of the bartenders, and the unique menu. The pizza smelled fantastic, and the selections on the specials menu sounded delicious. Taco flatbread? Yes please. I'll definitely be back soon to get the entire dining experience. read more

Best Vegan Pizza in town! :) I have been going to Flatbread for the past 10 years! I used to go a lot on Portland, ME and now I come to their shop in my hood, located in the Ville, although haters call it Slumberville but the real name is Somerville. Anywho, I throw golden confetti at them at any time of the day. The overall experience is very "speedy-hippy", and it could be described as drinking a strong Brazilian coffee and hitting deep on a A+ quality joint. Lively and mellow. Fast paced and haribo. PS: I always wonder about their hiring practices. Is it a requirement to be hot and sexy to work there? read more

Don't get me wrong. The food here is very, very good. I love the funky pizza combos and the crust is pretty awesome (and that's coming from someone who would rather not eat pizza crust on a regular basis). But good food alone does not make a great restaurant experience. I looked at their website and noticed I could call ahead and get put on the wait list for dinner. I decided to do it and was told it would be 45 minutes and to check in when I got there because there may be "a little more of a wait". I showed up 45 minutes later with my four co-diners and was told it would be another 45 minutes. "But... I called in...?" Didn't matter. Ok, that's pretty annoying, but whatever. We made our way to the bar bypassing the literally half full restaurant! There was seriously seating for at least 40 people available. I was so confused that I went back up to the hostess to make sure that I put myself on the restaurant list and not the bowling list by mistake. Needless to say, we eventually got seated and the pizzas came out pretty quickly. My favorite was the pulled pork. I would definitely come back for the pizza and their spectacular beer list. However, I would probably come for lunch or dinner on a weeknight instead. Oh, and if you want to bowl, don't come at all on a Friday or Saturday night. We were told around 8 pm that there was no way we could bowl that night. read more

Flatbread company opened in Massachusetts in 1998 & opened their Somerville location (featuring old-school candlepin bowling in Davis Square) in 2010. Using organic, natural, and local ingredients to make tasty flatbreads with every-changing specials, a huge list of draft beers, and bowling, this may be the perfect place to unwind. Find more about their company here & hope you are lucky enough to live near one of these tasty finds in New England (...or their one location in Hawaii). If you plan to bowl on a weekend, make sure you make a reservation far in advance, as they are quite popular. Reservations are also recommended for weeknights, but are not always crucial. We were craving just flatbreads at the time we moseyed on in, so we skipped the bowling (this time) and headed for the bar. We decided on the carne special of oven-roasted organic potatoes, all natural bacon, local corn & organic red onions. Pictures and more on -- ---- read more

Experience: The entrance area needs to be better managed. When we first came to bowl they thought we were there to eat so sent us to the dinning area. Even after asking how long the wait to bowl was they proceeded to think we were only interested in eating so we ended up waiting for an hour and didn't bowl. The second time we were there to eat and after the first experience we explicitly told them we only wanted to eat. Unfortunately, there was still some confusion and it took some time to get seated. Food: The pizzas are good and I like how they use local ingredients. The menu changes often, but the staff does a great job with recommendations. I don't recommend the carrot cake/bread, it looked and tasted like corn bread. Overall: Loved the unique pizzas, but wished they were more organized with the entrance. read more

I grew up nearby and left 20 years ago to move to Michigan. Since then, I'd been regaling my wife with tales of what's called "candlepin bowling." She, being a born-and-bred Michigan girl, is a 10-pin monster, so the very concept of candlepin just flummoxed her. In May of 2011, we spent a week-long vacation in the Boston area. This was, of course, not our first trip to Boston, but it was to be the longest amount of time we'd spend there in a while, considering the string of weekend jaunts we'd take to come back "home." Since we had more time to spend this time around, I wanted to find a candlepin alley, and I found Flatbread. The wait for a table was not too bad for a weekend evening (though the wait for a bowling lane was interminable; more on that below). I wandered over to the bar and ordered a couple of beers (all local micros and craft). We were seated in due course, and our server was quite fantastic. Despite the frenetic pace and flow of customers, ranging from local college kids to families with young children, she and the other servers seemed to be on the top of their game. The food is exquisite. The pizzas are freshly made and as critical as we are about where our food comes from and how it's made, we paid close attention to the open kitchen. Excellent ingredients and simple yet effective preparation. All proportions in balance, with no excesses in any one ingredient (in other words, they didn't Pizza-Hut this to death by dousing it with a metric crap-ton of processed cheese-food). The wait for a bowling lane was, however, a bit of a drag. With it being a weekend evening, the 6 or so available lanes were all full with large parties -- families or the aforementioned local college kids. The hostess estimated 2 hours, but the wait ended up closer to 3 and a half. Luckily, about an hour after dinner, two seats opened up at the bar so we could at least have a seat and wait, with more locally brewed beers flowing! I suppose we COULD have stayed at our table to drink, but that would have unfairly taken away a table from more customers who would've liked to eat (and, I'm sure, additional tip opportunity for our server). So we didn't want to be "those" jerks. When a lane opened up, I got the call from the hostess on my cellphone, and we took our spot. Unfortunately, the server taking care of the lanes was not quite on top of the game as the servers on the main dining floor, because she kept getting pulled aside and distracted by the bigger parties at the lanes. Being only two of us, my wife and I had a difficult time flagging her down for a few more beers. But nonetheless, my wife got her first taste of candlepin bowling....and it was a complete paradigm shift for her. I shook some of my 20+ year rust off and got some decent scores in the three games we played. Scoring was a little hit or miss because I was more accustomed to the automated systems even 20 years ago, so hand-scoring was tough. The lanes here at Flatbread looked like they would have been outdated back when I lived in nearby Arlington, but in a way, that nostalgia actually fits into the ambiance and decor of the entire facility, a collision of old-time sensibilities and modern trends. All in all, a fantastic dinner and a marvelous entertainment experience. Just carve out several hours and be prepared to wait, and it'll be just fine. If you're in a hurry for anything, I'd suggest a quick sandwich in town and maybe a movie instead. read more

Took a chance on a rainy Saturday afternoon and went to the Flatbread Company with my husband and two 12-year old kids. I knew it was likely that the bowling alley was already full, but it was an odd time to go, so I was hopeful. We arrived and the hostesses were quick to let us know that there was room to bowl, eat and drink on Lane 8. We got shoes and before any of us could send the ball down the lane, our attentive server was over to take our drink order. We ordered adult beverages, lemonades, a pepperoni pizza and the Co-evolution. The server was not only very attentive (but not annoyingly so), she was patient as I pulled out my best When Harry Met Sally order of "can I get this but without that and can you add this to it instead? " We were next to a group of middle-aged parents and 4-year olds who had a birthday. These kids got half of the bowling alley's balls stuck in the gutter and delayed our game. Still, the server patiently walked down the lane to push the balls along numerous times, with a great demeanor. The music was age-appropriate, playing to the middle-aged parents, including myself. A great 80's mix of music I wanted to sing along to! The pizza was so tasty that there were no leftovers, which I had hoped to eat today for lunch. Win some. Lose some. We spent $80 on 2 hours of bowling, 4 pairs of shoes, 4 adult beverages, 2 pizzas and tip. A great way to spend a rainy afternoon and the overall experience left my whole family with an unexpected warm and fuzzy feeling. read more

Simply put, super good. My ladyfriend and I were tired, hungry, and dirty, and a little chilly. We sat by the ovens and were stoked to be able to watch the pies go in and out, and in and out. Pizza was great, not overloaded with cheese, awesome toppings (we got the somerville somethingorother). Excellent beer selection too, even if we did make the wrong choices (just didn't treat our tastebuds right). The sounds of bowling was paired perfectly with our desert (brownie and banana breads with vanilla and pumpkin ice cream). Next time we're going bowling, and eating a pizza each, and getting fat and happy. -oh read more

I realize this is a pizza place, so my rating might not be fair because I ordered the organic main salad here. It was good, but the portion size was smaller than I thought. Also, the waiter forgot the goat cheese that came with the salad entirely, but I was too hungry to wait another who knows how long...friend said pizza was decent, but I will have to come back again to try the vegan option. read more

American Flatbread - original salad (no goat cheese) - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

They get two stars for being organic and the staff were all very friendly, unfortunately the 'homemade sausage' pizza I bought to share with people for our weekly game of thrones extravaganza was just straight up awful. A cracker thin crust that was dry like the mojave, little crumbs of sausage spread out much too thin and such a careless sprinkling of herbs with no discernable sauce or moisture to bind the ingredients together. One of the worst pizza's I've ever had in my life and that's no understatement. read more

The pizzas are really, really good! I'm also excited that they use a lot of local ingredients and are a member of SLF. It's an open space where you can watch pizza makes at work and they do some tricks, either because they know you're watching or think it's cool. Whatever, it's a good atmosphere. It wasn't until my third or fourth visit that I noticed the long lanes and tiny sticks, which they call bowling. So, you can get good beer, eat good pizza, and "bowl." It's a good idea. The only problem is that they don't offer appetizers or have much of a menu beyond salads and pizzas. read more

We came to Flatbread during a boy scout fundraiser at the bowling alley. So it was a little busier than usual, but the bar is first come first served and there were two of us so we got a spot right away. The bar is really long with lots of seats and a view of the bowling lanes. The two of us split a small pizza and salad, it was the perfect amount of food. We actually ended up with a slice left over. Both the pizza and salad were selections off of the specials list for the evening. I loved the huge helping of goat cheese that comes with the salad and the house made dressing is delicious. Flatbread is easy to access from the Davis T stop on the Red Line. read more

My friend and I commented on the fact that service like we enjoyed on Friday, 10/8/10 at Flatbread in Davis Sq. is RARE. It was gracious and 'customer' oriented without being overly attentive or inauthentic. It seems that their penchant for keeping things LOCAL and REAL rolls over into their service style. Recognized a lot of faces from around town AND loved how REAL the personalities were. Nobody was putting on airs. Knowledge of the menu and other offerings was off the charts clear! The inventory is carefully selected and LOCAL...so awesome! We were served a pizza that wasn't ours and it wasn't realized until we were 1/3 of the way done with it. The waitress apologized, brought us the one we'd ordered and invited us to take home and enjoy the 'mistake.' It's amazing that when service is gracious how mistakes of most sorts are totally overlooked. Food was tasty and fresh AND I think the highlight of my experience was the service. TOP SHELF! read more

I almost don't want to write this review or let the secret loose! We love this restaurant. We come once a week to try the rotating specials. We are obsessed!! The quality is high, the price is affordable, and the experience is always wonderful. Shout out to Jonathan for serving us tonight. It was the first time our flatbread came out differently than it was explained on the specials menu, and when I inquired about it Jonathan did not hesitate to scoop up our flatbread and get it fixed by the cooks. Most of the servers here are awesome. We have never really had a bad experience. The bar staff is also great. They always have yummy seasonal cocktails. The company is committed to using local, seasonal ingredients and they do it right every time. We are long term customers and don't plan on changing our Flatbread routine! read more

Came in late and ordered a flatbread. It was tasty, but the bartender was more interested in chatting with her friends at the end of the bar than filling me and my date's empty glasses. Food - 4 Service - 2 = 3 stars read more

A friend recommended this place as having really good pizza. That was not my experience. The herbs overwhelmed the mozzarella flavor, the tomato sauce hardly there and the goat cheese that I paid extra for was barely there. All in all, they skimped big time on the two pizzas I ordered. Both pizzas were also quite dry. Never again read more

I swear I just hit those goddamn pins square and only took out a bunch in the middle! Arrrggghhh!! Candle pins. Kind of annoying but oh so fun. Delicious pizza, Pretty Things Jack D'or on tap AND an occasional animal balloon guy for when I bring my two year old. Oh...and candlepin bowling. Do you really need much more? read more

Best salad I've had in a long time and then I skipped to the best brownie sundae I've EVER had. I had to make a responsible decision to try the dessert over the pizza. These are the choices I am allowed to make as a grown woman, take that mom. Awesome local beer selection, super bar service. I still suck at bowling, but that's not flatbreads fault. Major points for making the drinks in pint glasses and keeping Sacco's name part of the vibe. read more

It's a Davis go-to for obvious reasons - it's a pizza place with a bowling alley, for cryin' out loud! It's not your typical beer-and-pizza joint, that's for sure. It's a lot of fun, with a couple of caveats. The place is loud, crowded, and chaotic. Expect some incredibly long peak wait times for a table or a lane, and don't think you can tarry over a frame, either. They want you in and out to turn over those lanes. If you come at the dinner hours, you'll walk out hoarse - this place is LOUD. First of all, the pizza is just what the name of the place implies. The oven-baked crust is thin, chewy and tastes very fresh - this is good handmade crust. The ingredients are all good: the red sauce is piquant, the veggies are fresh and the meats are local. You can't go wrong with any flavor combination. The beer selection is splendidly diverse. Several different IPAs, pale ales, lagers, stouts, from labels you've grown used to seeing in Davis Square bierhalls - Slumbrew, Lagunitas, Pretty Things, Cisco - you get the idea. Prices are a little high, but this is gourmet flatbread and good microbrew beer! Prepare accordingly. Unfortunately, Flatbread falls a little flat on service. It's so crowded, and so busy, and so chaotic, that the harried servers have very little time with each table. If you finish your drink, expect a long wait for a server to come and ask if you'd like a refill, then expect an even longer wait while they squirm through the crowd to get to the bar to order one. It's a risk of the business, but fortunately for Flatbread Co, there is no shortage of hipsters who want to brave the crowd for the beer, bowling and slices that this place serves up with quality. read more

I'd say it's more of a 3.5 star. When I want something healthy and unhealthy at the same time, I like to go here. They have a very limited menu, serving only pizza and one kind of salad (no apps). Their pizza is on thin crust, gluten-free dough with interesting toppings and ingredients from local farmers. They serve local beer and spirits too, and I feel like I'm giving back to my community when I eat here. My favorite pizza is the Kalua Pork with fresh (not canned) pineapples. And during the fall season, they have this special pizza Butternut squash that is also the bombz! Also, save room for dessert... the brownie sundae is the best brownie sundae I've ever had at a restaurant (partly because it is really really good, and partly because not many restaurants serve brownie sundaes - except friendlys *yuck*) Sit at the bar... you'll feel less like a kid (you'll know what I mean when you dine there). read more

I've been here... a lot since moving to Davis Square. If you read no further, let me leave you with this: *Pomegranate Ginger Mojito: My favorite drink. I now physically crave it. In general they make beautiful, organic, funky cocktails from scratch and they are delish and lethal. The St. Germain is also good per my mom. *Specials: Even if a special pizza has one ingredient that isn't up your alley, get a special pizza. The specials are always the best. I had a vegetarian chili one last time that was BOMB. It had chunky potatoes and sour cream drizzle on top. *Dessert: Sometimes dessert is better than the pizza. The brownie sundae and chocolate chip banana bread get warmed up in the pizza oven mmm. *Call ahead: (It pains me to reveal this) You can't make reservations for parties under 10 but you can call ahead. I live walking distance so this is veeery convenient. If you don't call ahead Thursday-Saturday, you will wait for 1 hour plus. It's for this reason that I've never been able to bowl here - it's physically impossible given there's four (ish?) small lanes. In terms of the "basics" the Coevolution is pretty good. I'm not a vegan pizza eater (cheese PLEASE) but vegans will like it here given there's lots of options. Salads are fresh and yum if not pretty basic (greens and cheese and olives). The space is big and casual, industrial-style if you will. There's a long bar area which gets crowded on weekends; during the week there's a lot of families and birthday parties. The pizza oven faces the dining area and if you sit close enough it can get pretty cozy (nice in Winter obvi). Definitely a fun, laid-back, and wallet-friendly time! read more

I have been here several times and there nitrate-free pepperoni pizza is hands down one of the best pepperoni pizzas in town. It's not your typical pizza with a lot of a marinara sauce and thinly sliced pepperonis. Flatbread does a spiced thin crust pizza with big chunks of pepperoni. The spices they put on the pizza is extremely good. I've also tried the Kalua pork and steak pizza but those were not as well seasoned. The kalua pork was dry and the onions over powered the dish. One tip, you should eat the pizza in one sitting. I've saved some leftovers for lunch the following day and no matter what you do (microwave, oven bake, or toast) the pizza is not as good and it is a bit stale and a little tough. There drinks are good as well. I prefer to sit at the bar rather then the dinning area. Although, the bartenders are not as attentive as I would like but the atmosphere is very laid back so I guess I can't blame them. read more

I was very very very very very very very sad when the old-school Sacco's Bowlhaven closed. Thankfully, it didn't really die, it just morphed into this place. I still miss Sacco's as it was, but this place is much better then if it had become a CVS, or a gym, or a "community center" as it was rumored, at one point, to become... So anyway, I'm deducting a star just because its not Sacco's and it makes me sad to go in here. I know thats not completely fair but fuck it. Okay so... as a bowling alley now it's coolish, but there aren't quite enough lanes anymore and its super crowded. Good luck getting one of the 21 year old hipster clans to give up their lane. The place reminds me a bit too much of a Williamsburg "look-at-me" kinda place now. But still, it IS candlepin, and that's cool. I'll have to suss it out on Sunday afternoon sometime. The pizza is... well it's "natural". Whatever that means. Or "organic"... whatever that means. I don't love it. Pizza ain't meant to be healthy people. Fill that shit up with preservatives and grease cuz that's what good pizzas have. The crust and wood-fired oven, however, are awesome. They should introduce a "not healthy" section to the menu. The bar section is awesome. It's long. Its manned by attractive females. The selection of New England breweries is a bonus. The biggest flaw with the bar is that it closes early... like midnight on a Friday night. That blows. Also, no tvs that I noticed... so I won't be going here to watch any football. So I'm glad that Sacco's isn't dead. Flatbread has done a very good, not amazing, job of preserving it. read more

Unique & traditional pizza topping combos with thin crispy crust made in a clay oven. Fun atmosphere and kind employees. The wait for the bowling ally can be extremely long so maybe make a reservation or send someone a couple hours early to sign up for a spot. Defiantly a tad pricey but produce is all fresh and local. read more

This place is awesome. It has such a cool vibe along with some old-time charm. The bar area, tied in with Sacco's Bowl Haven, make for a really fun place to hang out. Unfortunately, didnt get a chance to try the flatbread. Next time for sure. Beer menu was great with a lot of choices that you dont see every day. read more

American Flatbread - closing time - Pizza Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

In my four visits/orders, I've had a grab-bag of experiences with Flatbread Co. With interesting toppings, a chewy yet flat crust, and a (have to say it) super-cool venue, I'd appreciate a little more consistency in what could be Somerville's best pizza place. Close your eyes and pick. Here are the contents of my grab-bag: 1) Circa 2011 - Ideal Flatbread experience - pizza and bowling. Sampling perfectly cooked slices, picking at salad, and drinking Berkshire IPA. I may peek next time so I get this one again. 2) Dec 2012 - Pick up order made by phone. Ordered a large sausage special for "Jon." My own name was a bit too complicated for the order-taker. Apparently the order was as well, because we came home to a free-range chicken pizza, complete with jalepeno peppers. I was disappointed after recommending it so highly. 3) Dec 2012 - After our last pizza-tease, we really wanted to try the sausage special. We added red sauce and checked the box when we picked it up. Really good. Really satisfying. Shake the bag a bit and come out with: 4) Last night - Naive hope to eat and bowl on a Friday night. My boyfriend and I arrived around 8PM and avoided the half hour table wait by sitting up at the bar. It's long like a bowling lane and indisputably awesome. We happily sipped on local craft beers and decided on the carne special - spiced sausage, peppers, and onions. Within ten minutes we received the pizza and it looked like it. Everything was undercooked - the dough was pale, and the peppers and onions were crunchy. The sausage was cut into thick, unappealing slices. Honestly the whole thing was clunky. I've had worse pizza (cough cough Hi-Fi in Central), but we were disappointed again. I love the atmosphere and I've loved the pizza 50% of the time. I'll keep coming back and hope to up the ratio. read more

Look, their friggin pizza is amazing. Nice thin crust, not the way a lot of heathens in Boston do it. Great flavors, wonderful staff. Good beer selection. Plus you get to watch them cook in the ovens. That's always fun. Yay, fire! read more

Pizza, beer, and bowling together undeniably form a trio that easily is more than the sum of its parts. The three together would be an easy sell even if each of them were mediocre. The new Flatbread Company, however, combines excellent renditions of all of them into a place that seems almost too good to be true. On the pizza: Sure, they call it "flatbread," but let's not BS around, this is some serious pizza. I'd been a fan of the pizza at the Bedford location since I tried it a year or so ago and have anxiously been awaiting a Somerville offering. A far cry from the mediocre pizza on offer at Mike's or other nearby pizzerias, Flatbread serves delicious, thin crust with uber-local, kickass toppings in creative combinations. Better yet, it clocks in at a totally resonable $9 for an individual pie or $15-18 for a two-person "large." On the beer: Also uber-local, Flatbread sells all New England brews for a below-market $4.50 for most pints. Tired of that? Draft 'Gansett is also on offer for a very reasonable $2.75. You can enjoy the beer while seated at a table, at the airy, casual bar overlooking the lanes, or in the drink holders attached to the scoring tables while bowling. Bar service has been friendly and prompt the couple times I've been. Nice! On the bowling: like the old Sacco's, oldschool candlepin bowling is the name of the game here. They've got fully analog scoring with no fancy bowling computers to tell you what's what, I'd say this is casual bowling at its best. Flatbread has refurbished the whole space so it's less depressing-fluorescent-lightey and more skylit-friendly-hippie, which is an improvement in my book. Fantastic on all counts, Flatbread is sure to become a Davis Square staple. Get over here before it becomes too popular! read more
