Came with a friend for dinner! Love the setup here. Lots of parking, casual outdoor seating on the lawn with multiple firepits going. The interior has the restaurant basically fully integrated with the kitchen - some tables are literally right in front of the pizza oven, which seemed warm so we opted for a table by the wall. It was fun to watch the pizza chefs at work and enjoy the barn atmosphere. The service was fine. Friendly, but slow despite the restaurant not being packed. The food was super yummy. We got their classic Evolution salad with the blue cheese added. We also ordered a half and half pizza. One half was pepperoni and peppers - delish. The other half was Punctuated Equilibrium - also delish, but we wanted more olives. Crust was nice and crispy. Would come back! Especially with my toddler for the al fresco dining. read more

I often visit this location when I'm in this neck of the woods as it's a really beautiful to hang and the scene is fun with games, kids/family's running around, fire pits, the farm, and river across the street. We sat inside this time because it was 30 min instead of an hour wait to be outside. In part I think you are paying for the experience here, not that the pizzas (or flatbreads which are pretty similar) aren't good but they are pricey. On this occasion we wanted to try the special salad but they were all out so we got the regular evolution. It's a simple, but fairly priced and deliciously dressed salad that I would recommend. Pizza wise we split medicine wheel, classic Vermont sausage, and a split pepperoni cheese for the kids. All of the pizzas were tasty but I maybe liked the herbs on the medicine pizza the best. Service we knew would be slow because of how busy it was but perhaps not as slow as it was. Drinks came relatively fast but then it took probably thirty minutes to place our order which, after waiting to get in, meant that kids weren't eating until well after 8 when we got there before 7 which was less ideal. read more

I just had a terrible experience at this restaurant. Have been going there since it opened and had a warm spot in my heart for it. No more. I was there a couple of years ago with my dog - we sat outside - and had a lovely time and no one said anything about my dog who was leashed and is very well behaved. The manager tonight told me I had to leave her in the car - there was an hour wait for the table. He was incredibly rude, refused to let me do take-out which would have been fine. As an older person who was alone I felt his scorn when he refused to work with me. I will never go back. read more

Decided to visit on Thursday, we were a group of 4. We arrived at 4:30 which was just 30min after they opened and we were shocked to see that there was plenty of parking and we were seated right away, right in front of the oven! The salad was fresh and delicious and we all loved our flatbreads. The beer menu and drink menu was impressive (I mean this is Vermont after all!) And we did have table service from a waitress which was fast and friendly. All in all we really liked this experience and are ready to go back. I can imagine on a nicer weather day (it was raining for us) it would be amazing to hang out outside with a drink by the fire pits. A great Vermont experience. (I will add that we drove by on Friday night after opening and the entire parking lot was full so just plan for that very real possibility) read more

I'm confused by some of these reviews. We ate here last night. The waitress took our order at the table and drinks were no problem. My wife loved her flatbread. I was indifferent but enjoyed the evening. The oven is really cool. read more

Let me start by saying their pizza is very good and they have a nice selection of beers. That said, it seems every time I eat here someone feels the need to bring their squalling baby or obnoxious, ill-behaved children to disrupt what should have been a peaceful quiet evening out. The final straw today was the mom who insisted on parking her baby's stroller next to her table, disregarding waitstaff's attempts to move it out of the way and then insisted on *singing* to her child, as if we were sitting in her dining room at home. This place is crowded and noisy as it is. No need to ratchet the volume up by permitting parents to bring their unruly kids to disrupt other diners' meals. So, while I try to eat locally to support local Valley businesses, I suspect I'll be getting my pizza from now on in the Upper Valley at Cantore's, where the pizza is as good and probably better and where I have NEVER had a meal disrupted by parents who haven't got the decency to leave their children at home. Bottom line: pizza 4 -4.5, beer list 4.5, service 3.5, ambience 1.5-2. read more

Have things changed from 20 years ago here, yes, but the pizza is still delicious, the staff are delightful and the beer is cold. Nuff said! read more

American Flatbread - Tomorrow's breakfast. - Pizza Near Me - Waitsfield, Vermont

How service works here is you order at the front and then they seat you. You can leave the tab open so you can order more stuff like dessert or drinks. It's a little bit pricey, but makes sense for the farm to table ingredients and overall quality of the food. It's very dark in there but the fire from the brick oven lights up the center of the room. I think this is a cozy place for dinner read more

American Flatbread - New Vermont Sausage - Pizza Near Me - Waitsfield, Vermont

Amazing place. Pizza is A+ and cooked in the stone oven right in front of the guests. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Guests often talk to each other. One of our favorite places to eat...anywhere. read more

This place is so hasbeen and the pies suck terribly ! George needs to fold up shop his creation is old and bland now

Did not eat here. We were told the second we walked in, we needed to order our food before they would seat us. When we asked for clarification, we were told by a different employee that he would seat us, but we had to order THE SECOND we sat down. We waited for them to seat us for 15 minutes, while ignoring us and taking orders from people that were behind us. Terrible business model. Rude employees. Will never return. read more

Food is awesome! Not really a fan of their new ordering protocol.. you order your food before being seated and grab a drink before being seated. If you want another drink you need to walk back up to the bar and get a drink... no wait service basically. But again, the flatbreads are great! Just wish they went back to traditional service. Food 5 stars Service 1 star =3 stars overall read more

Updating a previous review about the new (post Covid) reservation system. Still a long wait, but it works fine and the service seems conventional even though you order everything upfront (you can add things to your order at the table.) Best pizza out there, so it is worth the wait... read more

Lovely place for pizza, as there are picnic tables outside that you can eat at so you can enjoy the fresh air and the fire pits. The pies are large but thin crust, so one can feed about two adults. We had the Ionian awakening, Revolution and New Vermont Sausage. Each had a unique taste but the table agreed that the Ionian Awakening had the best flavor. read more

American Flatbread - August 2022 Menu - Pizza Near Me - Waitsfield, Vermont

Despite a beautiful afternoon in VT, and a gorgeous property to enjoy some outdoor dining, I am sorry to comment that the food was greasy and way too salty (several adults and kids ordered pizza and salad.) Salads were OK but meager. A manager told me that "liquids are not allowed outdoors," so we could not order anything to drink. Good thing I had water in the car. Even though our group of 14 (all nice families, some local) had ordered hours in advance, that same manager's message was "order online, pick it and leave." Is this hospitality??? read more

Pizzas were very good. Wish the website let customize more. We couldn't remove mushrooms and several people at the event didn't like mushrooms. read more

We've been coming here for several years & would come several times during ski season. This is our 2nd time this season & we understand there have been changes since Covid. We miss the ambiance and the fresh out of the oven pizzas. These pizzas aren't cheap even before Covid, now they're the same price for takeout but they seem much smaller. We are looking forward to the restaurant being open again and the pizzas being their usual size read more

American Flatbread - A small takeout Vermont Sausage. - Pizza Near Me - Waitsfield, Vermont

I've been coming to American Flatbread for many years and I even plan my trips to VT around their opening hours. It's not just the food it's the experience and atmosphere that makes it a perfect family experience. Simple food with local ingredients. Get there early and put your name down then just grab a glass of wine or local beer and wait outside by the fire and enjoy the view or conversations with locals or other visitors. All this while your kids can run around the big field and play yard games (bring some). Went with my family here in August as part of our vacation. I was looking forward to it as it had been three years since I had last been (Covid restrictions). Unfortunately it was raining upon arrival so we ate inside. We ordered 4 pizzas cheese, pepperoni, revolution, and the weekly special which had local braised beef on it. If you get the salad please add the local blue cheese. It really makes a difference. My only complaint was they had a special weekly salad that I thought would be fantastic but was a bit of a disappointment. Id definitely recommend sticking with the revolution salad with blue cheese. We also got two desserts for the table to share. One was an absolutely amazing authentic shortcake. Id definitely order it again during strawberry season. Everything was as good as I remembered and I can't really say anything bad about this place. Luckily the rain stopped and instead of hanging out outside before dinner we did after instead. Didn't take any pictures of the food unfortunately but Ill share a few of the setting! read more

It was fine. Good pizza. The service was medium. The ambiance is awesome. I just wish it could be a little bit better.

Pizza was amazing especially the abc beer is always good I recommend any Lawton's service was quick and pleasant

Heaven. Finest pizza dining experience around. Great atmosphere. Sit in front of clay stove. Superb drinks. Salads. Homemade desserts. One of my very favorite restaurants on earth. read more

Update, things have changed since Covid. The old, super annoying method of putting in a reservation (showing up in person in the *afternoon) is over. You now show up and wait for a table and when the table is ready you order at the counter, pay and sit. The wait for food is not insignificant. Everywhere you go there are staffing issues. Patience is needed. Salads came fast. You may not get your pizzas together. The food is the same, tho, delicious and fresh. The one update I would make is if you *prefer gluten-free, don't do it here. The tastiness of this pizza absolutely lies 50% in the wonderful crust and 50% in toppings. The gluten-free was not great. I had it with mushrooms and it was pretty tasteless. If you're gluten free I advise using many toppings. read more

We have been here twice in the last week. Superb service from Simon and the flatbreads were fabulous. It's fun to watch the flatbreads being made and the staff all seem to really enjoy working there - very proud of their craft which is great to see read more

Pretty nice spot to stop for some pizza. They serve flatbread style pies, with some interesting spins. The pizza is good, nice flavorful dough, but I prefer more of a crispy undercarriage. I had to eat some of the slices with a fork and knife (flopping everywhere). The veggie pie with blue cheese was very tasty, the pepperoni was average. They have a great tap list with some great locally contracted beers. I just feel a lot of their specialty pies were pretty much the same as each other, but there was a customize your own option as well. read more

We had dinner at American Flat Bread tonight! It was a little bit of a wait to be seated, but once we were the service was excellent. The food was as excellent as all the times we've been there! Staff were very friendly and attentive! I would recommend going. read more

Three of us came in and shared two flatbreads, they have a great beer menu and the pizzas were delicious! Really nice experience, everyone was super friendly and we would definitely come back. read more

Waited 55 minutes to find out they ran out of dough and couldn't seat us. Comped one beer from our tab. Not great. Not sure how a pizza place runs out of dough. read more

Overrated pizza place-not worth the aggravation & management mindset! Just read the numbers of reviews that complain about the reoccurring problems of RUDE SERVERS-NO RESERVATIONS & A HORRIBLE WAIT TIME..The reservation receptionist is rude, arrogant & not professional to say the least. They refuse to take reservations, you must come in prior to opening and place your name on a list and wait. They make you feel like Flatbreads is extending you a big favor by providing you a table. Honestly it's facade of a pizza place. There strategy is to hold you hostage so you buy alcohol for hours before getting a table...I highly recommend you skip the flat bread attitude/arrogance and try Blue Stone Pizza instead. They are welcoming, excellent pizzas and quality customer service. read more

Pizza was great. The daily special was imaginative and spoiled me on pizza anywhere else. Fresh picked peas on pizza? It was great. Seeing the pizza made is great fun and the ambience is unique. read more

Made the mistake of waiting until 5:00 PM to order dinner around Waitsfield. Another place wasn't answering their phone at all. American Flatbread eventually answered theirs and I got stuck with a three hour wait. Which I thought was a little weird for a pizza place, but okay... The sausage pizza was really good. Really high quality ingredients. Pie could've stood another few minutes in the oven. I know they will also "par bake" a pizza, but I could've sworn I asked them to bake it all the way, another first for me with a pizza place, so maybe that's just how it is? Anyway, a fine value at $26, since we got about 3-4 servings out of it. read more

Another COVID-time review. The family and I visited American Flatbread for pizza to-go after a long day in VT. Ordering over the phone was easy, once we had reception, and pickup was pretty fast. Overall, the pizza was good, but it's tough to compete with NYC pizzas. Pricing was pretty expensive for the size of the pie. Ingredients were high quality and the pizza was fine. Once the weather warms up, we will try this spot again and check out the outdoor dining option. read more

Best pizza we've had in a long time!! Loved watching them make them in front of us. Great place if you have kids too

My favorite restaurant in New England. On a nice, summer Saturday, a post-ride pizza and a margarita with the fam is just perfection. Visiting requires patience but is well rewarded. read more

I had a weird first experience, felt a little unwelcome by the host and waitstaff with a 12 month old even though she was well behaved (are kids not allowed? It was confusing.) Folks making the pizza were much higher vibe, so high fives to them. But anyway, fast forward a year, and we decided to go back. This time, picnic-style outdoors with take-out pizzas due to COVID and the experience was better. We didn't really talk much with anybody because it was take-out but you can't deny the atmosphere outside is beautiful with all the tables, chairs, fire pits and outdoor seating. The flatbread itself is good for flatbread, the revolution was my favorite with the caramelized onions. Overall a better experience and I'd be more likely to come back now. read more

We've been coming to Sugarbush for almost thirty years. Every season someone we are with wants to go here for pizza. We hate to do it because it is always so stressful. No reservations. You need to get your 'name ' in by 4:00pm which is their gimmick to make it so popular everyone will want to come. We went tonight, early, without a 'reservation' or our name on the list. There was no one there but we're told it was a 'full house' at 6:30. We asked yo sit at the bar (also empty) but were told only 2 of us could eat there (there were 3 of us). My husband even offered to stand. The host and her daughter were unfriendly and rude. I don't care how good business is, your food isn't that good that you act like this way to customers. We ended up going to The Sage restaurant and it was off the charts delicious. The owner and waitstaff could not have been nicer. This was our last shot at this place. Never going back. read more

Outstanding service with the most delicious farm to table pizza. Wonderful ambiance for a perfect date night complete with bonfires and dinner under the stars. Excellent choice of beer, wine and a can't miss Margarita! Staff was friendly and welcoming. read more

Great food and service although the female bartender is very uninviting which is a huge turn off.

My family arrived to American Flatbread for dinner and were met with rude servers. First of all, after ordering drinks at the bar, they told us to step away from the bar. Once we sat for dinner, they got our order wrong 2 times. My daughter's gluten free meal was over cooked and dry. She asked for some dipping sauce and was told it would cost $3.00. I had to ask for a napkin since the table was not properly set for 4. Flatbreads were also just satisfactory not special. Two weeks prior, I stopped in and was told that they were out of flatbreads! Isn't the name of the restaurant American Flatbread! Too bad! Would not recommend. read more
