    Merica!!! Most certainly a neighborhood gem. The warm & rustic ambiance is incredibly welcoming as you walk in and immediately you know... this is place is old school and I love it. Then right away, other than the multiple candle pin lanes & children playing and having a great time, is their pizza oven! The wood-fired oven is front and center, and you can actually watch your pizza being made fresh -- it adds to the whole experience. The flatbreads are a treat. The crust is nicely crisp with just the right amount of chew, and the toppings are fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully sourced. Either build your own and chose from their exciting menu options. Then of course there's beer They have a great selection of local beer that hit quite nicely. And the staff were extremely friendlier and attentive. They really make you feel like a valued guest. Whether you're here for date night, a casual dinner with friends, or just craving top-notch pizza, this place nails it. Some come enjoy some great food, solid beer and even try your hand at a game of candle pins.

    Mushroom and red pepper flatbread

    Celebrated a joint sweet 16 birthday here, the kids had a lot of fun candlepin bowling. Food was delicious. Interesting that the flatbread is sliced rectangular instead of in wedges but didn't bother me. Crust isn't super crispy and slices are floppy so easier to cut with fork and knife on a plate vs holding by hand. But 'most important- delicious! Wish there were more appetizer options on the menu. Service was great, our server took great care of us given we were a big group. I like the space- great for parties.

    Love the vibe and food from this place! Needless to say, their pizzas are supreme! It's also one of the few places that have bowling allies right next to wood-fire pizza place! They have great selection of desserts and beers as well, perfect place for a date night!

    Pepperoni & mushroom
    Tianna D.

    So my first time here was back in 2021 and I just noticed I didn't write a review! Let's see how much I remember.. We came here in the summertime of 2021 and sat outside. We ordered the Pepperoni & Mushroom and a half Flyin Hawaiian with pork and half of... to be honest I can't remember the name but it was a Korean influenced pizza with steak and a gochujang-aioli sauce, it was honestly the best of the 3 flavors. Maybe it was a Carne Special at the time. We also ordered a house salad and the house dressing for the salad was so good I asked if I could carry the rest home since we ordered it on the side. -------- We came back here again this past weekend with some friends visiting from out of state and we were planning to do some bowling. There were no lanes open yet so we got a table to sit, eat, drink and chat a bit till a lane opened up. We ordered the Flyin Hawaiian again but with chicken this time and tried the Carne Special which was a burger-style pizza. Both were good, the carne special was a little too heavy on the sauce topping. Where we sat had a view of the staff making the pizzas which was fun to watch.

    Reasons to love Flatbread: - Dedication to a mission of good food - Dedication to helping the community - my non-profit had a fundraiser here and everyone on staff was so supportive, and all the patrons were so kind and participated in our raffle - Damn good pizza - I recommend the buffalo cauliflower special - A really nice bar to sit at - you can watch tv or watch people bowl, great for dates or just chilling alone or with friends - Whoopie pies - Bowling - Cozy and themed space that yet somehow still feels airy and unstuffy - Really friendly staff people who seem to enjoy their jobs Honestly, the only cons against this place are that parking in Davis is annoying (though there's a lot next door if you're early enough to get a spot), and you're a bit out of luck if you don't want pizza or salad. But go into your dinner knowing those factors, and you will definitely walk away satisfied.

    Veggie special
    Nino E.

    We had the veggie special. I asked for it to be the vegan option (dairy free) because I forgot my lactaid at home! Luckily they had this option. This is the best pizza texture I've tried in Davis Square. Its thin, crusty, and not dry - you can eat the crust without feeling all thirsty. For a full veggie/vegan option, this tasted better than I expected. It's hard to find a pizza that won't ruin my stomach, but still taste good. The apple sauce was drizzled on top and gave a light sweet taste. It is packed on a Friday night. Make sure you plan ahead if you're making your way here from afar. We couldn't get any bowling lane for two and was told its usually reserved on weekend nights by guests of 8+ people. We will probably come back on a weekday. But although it was packed, it serves the perfect ambiance we were looking for a lively yet chill Friday evening.

This is due partly to another party ahead of us not leaving promptly, but I think the restaurant could have been ready ahead of us as well. I will admit that I enjoyed the ambiance - it had nice low lighting with contemporary decor which made a nice dinner spot. The service in terms of both the waiters and kitchen did not feel timely either. It took a while for drinks to arrive and there were barely any water refills in general. We ordered four different dishes on our side of the table and they were somewhat bland. The vegetable momos definitely need some kind of sauce since they were lacking in flavor. We also got a curry chicken thigh, beef noodles, and butter tofu. I think only the beef noodles had a good enough flavor profile and kick to them. I was also surprised that the portion sizes weren't close to what you would expect for the price. I think with so many good south Asian spots in the area, it's hard to recommend Martsa. I might consider coming back if I learn that there is a particular dish that I am missing out on.

    We were part of a large group (12 diners) for a pre-wedding dinner/party…read more Except for the couple getting married, I believe the rest of our party were the only out-of-towners dining that evening. This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options. There is a street-side patio if you wish to watch the people and cars at Davis Square. Five Horses serves American comfort food, and they do a pretty good job serving up their offerings. I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. If I lived here, this would be in my rotation for a brew or two, catch a game, and enjoy a burger.

    I try not to post negative reviews but I do not recommend the flank steak. I saw it (flank steak,…read morechimmichurri sauce, mashed potatoes, and broccoli) at $29 and said I haven't ordered a steak in while, let's treat myself. Boy was I disappointed, it was literally four tiny slices of beef, about a ladle and a half of mashed potatoes (flavor was great but the texture was dry and it was hard to swallow), and the broccoli was broccoli. The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) but it was room temp and I would describe that serving size as maybe the equivalent of a medallion. Everything else our table ordered (pizza, shepherd's pie, and a burger) looked great but the flank steak is not it y'all. However the service was top notch and will definitely go back, just won't order the flank steak next time!

However, in this rare case, the food quality and taste overpowered the service issues. Inside is lively, and cozy. They also have outdoor patio seating in the summer, which is lovely as well.

    To be honest, I didn't really have high expectations for Painted Burro. I mean, come on. With…read moreFelipe's just around the corner, the thought of venturing elsewhere felt almost unnecessary. But given that work was covering the tab, I was more than happy to indulge. To start off, the food was de-light-ful. For appetizers, we ordered the elotes, chips with guac and salsa, and some roasted potatoes. These were all fine--nothing particularly fancy--but I did really like the potatoes. We then ordered some drinks, which I admittedly don't remember very well... we may have partied a little too hard. Despite the hungover amnesia, though, the clear winner was the Coconut Passionfruit. If I remember correctly, it tasted almost like an alcoholic cream soda, and it was by far the table's favorite. One of my coworkers ordered it first and let us all try it, and suffice it to say, we were hooked. The whole table eventually ended up ordering a round. Now, since the tab was covered, I decided to go all out and order three fish tacos AND the Fajitas Clásicas. Was this excessive? Yes.... Did that stop me? Absolutely not. The Fajitas Clásicas were massive (easily enough food for two people!) That said, looking back, I was a little underwhelmed by the actual variety of meats. Between the steak, chicken, and shrimp, nothing really stood out. The steak was okay, the chicken was a little dry, and the shrimp... well, I gave the two pieces they gave me to my friend. I eventually turned my attention back to the fish tacos, which were thankfully very yummy and probably the better choice. Now onto dessert! If you come here for nothing else, come for either the churros or the tres leches. Some of my coworkers found the tres leches a little too sweet, but I absolutely loved how creamy and indulgent it was. The churros were also delicious. I didn't love the chocolate sauce quite as much, so I ended up dipping them into the ice cream instead, which I personally thought was much better. Suffice it to say, you really can't go wrong with either. Overall, Painted Burro pleasantly surprised me. Not everything was a standout, and I'd probably skip the fajitas next time, but the drinks, fish tacos, and especially the desserts made for a very fun meal. Would I abandon Felipe's? Lol no. But if work is paying again, you'll probably find me back here with another Coconut Passionfruit in hand.

The servers were all very friendly and accommodating- one even tried to fix our wobbly table for us. We chose to sit outside which was lovely with seating that had shaded options. The inside is also nice with extensive seating options as well. This place is a fan favorite when youre not sure exactly what you want to eat but know you want something tasty.
