Flatbread will always hold a special place in my heart. I fell in love with it since the week they opened in Avon, CT and was so happy to discover they have a location in Providence. The pizza is always perfect. Tastes just like it does in Avon, which is a good thing. My favorite will always be Jimmy's Free Range & the pepperoni/mushroom combo. And you cannot go wrong with their sausage pizza (it's oddly sweet yet so perfect). They always have awesome specials that go with seasonal produce/flavors, etc. This particular location is HUGE. I knock off a star because this place is freaking FREEZING! Just like the one in CT! Why is it so damn cold in here??? Coming on a day in July and everyone that walked by me had goosebumps...Even my husband was cold and that is extremely rare--he always pokes fun at me for being chilly! The family next to us was also complaining and a couple soon followed and left to grab a sweater from their car. So uncomfortable to be cold and eating. Alas, I will continue to go back. I noticed they had outdoor seating so that would be a better option to avoid the blasts of cold air. read more

What happened to this place?? Pizza was actually BAD. The crust was flat and tough and the toppings were unbelievably sparse.

Yummy pizza and friendly service!! I got Jay's Heart with 1/2 sausage and it was quite good- I loved the crust. My brother got chicken bacon ranch and loved it. Would come again! read more

More of a preliminary review as we didn't have space to sample the flatbreads, but this was a top notch spot for some craft brews in a spacious, laid back atmosphere. My wife and I stopped by with our friend for an afternoon drink and we couldn't have been happier. Our server knew his beers very well and provided an excellent recommendation on a hazy IPA. Being by the brick oven was a sweet touch too to be able to see the chefs in action. read more

Had a great experience ordering delivery from here! Delivery was super efficient and fast. We ordered the Jay's heart flatbread with pepperoni and the homemade sausage flatbread without mushrooms. The Jay's heart flatbread was delicious but I didn't love the flavor combination in the homemade sausage flatbread. I think it's a tad pricey for the size of the pizzas but given the overall quality I would definitely order from here again. read more

Went here again after a stellar Yelp party. The pizza is so good! I had the pizza with the pulled pork on it, as well as the mexican style pizza. Both of them were out of this world. The crust is very tasty. The beers were half way decent. I went with Allagash white for its ability to go with everything. We sat outside on a 70 degree day and it was very nice. The sun was warm and the drinks and pizza made everything calm and enjoyable. The waitress took very good care of us, very attentive and organized. The parking spaces are really thin. I think they are made for Smart cars only. lol read more

Great pizza, great beer, friendly and efficient staff. Stop by every other Wednesday for board game night in the back! The rotating specialty pizzas are where it's at. Parking can be a challenge, but worth it. Always lively but never packed crowded inside. read more

We picked up half-baked pizza and had a little taste of Flatbread at home, which our kids loved. The pickup process was simple and well organized. Props to Flatbread, looking forward to dining on their patio again once outdoor dining is approved. read more

I love that they take pride in using high quality ingredients. The fresh sauce is a noticeable stand out. Pizza came super fast! My husband and I each enjoyed our own flatbread and I had leftovers to take home. The pizzas were also made in the brick oven which gives them a great taste. Lots of seating and service was friendly. Large selection of beer on tap too! read more

Some of the best pizza around. It's a 30 minute ride from my house and it's well worth the trip. The regular cheese pizza is so tasty. Has a unique and fresh taste that I struggle to find elsewhere. Also very reasonably priced. You can tell they use fresh ingredients in every bite. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the staff is a little inconsistent. But overall pretty good. Highly recommend if you're craving pizza and want to feel good after eating it. They also have a bunch of different toppings and specialty pizzas. And I've tried a bunch of them and every single one of them has been delicious. Salads are also fresh and delicious. They market themselves as a restaurant that uses fresh and organic ingredients. And that is no lie. You can tell right away that they deliver on their promise. Eat here, you will not be disappointed. read more

Finally got to try Flatbread after my entire freshman year @Brown. They did not disappoint! The seating area was huge; way much more room than you would even expect it to hold. I ordered the Providence community flatbread because I was in the mood for something simple. It was delicious. There was just the right amount of caramelized onions and mushrooms, and the sauce was awesome. Even though there were not that many toppings on mine, the crust part did get a bit soggy/weighed down. Service: fast, servers: nice, and price: not too shabby! I'll definitely be back for their student discount night and to try other more interesting topping combinations. read more

It was my first time being there and I was pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere: There is something cool about it being tucked away off off Thayer Street. It had picnic tables and lights. Cozy & cute. Service: I think we had some guy named Aaron. He was great and suggested the BBQ roasted pork pizza. He was polite and friendly. Pizza: I like the crunch of the pizza and the flavors too, however I think they could have added more of the toppings. A little stingy. Also there is no bacon as a topping option. Tisk tisk. read more

amazing food!!! the pizza is so light and delish. great service awesome vibe i love the jays heart!!!!

This is a great spot for larger groups. The service was very accommodating. The kids love the salad and pizza Jay's Heart. They have Botha carne and veggie special pizza daily. They were both super tasty. Great selection of beers. We will keep coming! read more

Awesome flatbread pizza with plenty of interesting flavors. We love Jays Heart and any of the BBQ pork specials! Their salad is addicting too. Make sure to order more pie than you think you want! The crust is Very thin so you'll need a few extra slices to fill you up (if you're extra hungry). read more

Generally I like to get pizza from independent places and stay away from restaurant chains but Flatbread is an exception. All the ingredients are fresh, service is excellent and you get the same feeling as you would at an independent shop. Came in here for Valentines night and had a really good time. We ordered our custom pizza with roasted red peppers, fennel sausage, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms, and it was great. Two of us did a great job at cleaning up the plates. We also got the brownie sundae and that was good too. We are definitely coming back here again...soon! read more

If you are willing to spend the money... The pizza is quite delicious. I come here annually and the quality of the ingredients never fails to impress me. The inside has plenty of space and the environment is pleasing. read more

Flatbread never disappoints- call ahead and make a reservation... of be prepared to wait.

I've been wanting to come for a while. I happened to be in the area so I stopped by for a drink and a bite to eat. The inside is unique (partially an old car shop) and local-feeling. The waitress was quite friendly, the drink (white sangria) was tasty. The salad was filling and the flatbread pizza (Kalua chicken) was tasty. I will definitely revisit! read more

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! You know what, shut the back door too. They blew the roof off of this place! Greeted by piles of seasoned wood and scents of wood fired pizza ovens. Hand flattened dough coated with the freshest of ingredients. A stellar staff of finely feathered people that are personable and fun. My delight was all their intent! That pork mopsy tho!! I typically am not a fan of pineapple on pizza (don't judge!), but there was some type of umami flavor thing going on that superseded previous pineapple presuppositions. The pork and the onion and the BBQ and pineapple shadabadabing!! Montebello a tutti fruity! Then the Jay's heart with real, unprocessed, el naturál pep. Next level, no doubt. Did I mention the staff? Yes, however when the GM goes out of her way to stop by and remembers details about you upon departure...that's just good business my friend! I'll be back undoubtedly. Listen to the fire crackle and the food sizzle as you bask in their rustic ambiance! read more

I found this place on yelp so I gave it a try and I did enjoy it.. This is definitely different from regular pizza. I should say, you might love it or you might hate it kind of pizza.. read more

Came with group, food took forever to come out over 2 hours and they still had the audacity to tell us we were short on the bill when half the group had to leave because of the time it took to get our food. Such a shame because when it finally got here it was very good. Poor hospitality I would be beyond embarrassed to confront someone about their bill being a few dollars short when the wait was 2 hours. read more

This is our all time favorite place to go for a great pizza in all of R.I. Nothing beats how fresh and delicious the pizza at Flatbread is!!! We have been numerous times and last weekend we were craving it. We called ahead when we were about 10 minutes away and our name was added to the list. When we arrived we waited about 15 minutes and were seated. I had a maple cherry spiked lemonade and hubby had a hard cider. The lemonade was strong! For our pizza we had the Cheese and Herb which (we usually always get, on at least half the pizza) and then on the other half we had the Carne Special. I like how they always have a veggie and meat special going on and they are all usually unique and yummy. The pizza is so fresh out of the wood stove and its perfectly thin and light. We order a large and usually finish the whole thing between the two of us! It's so light that you you don't feel stuffed. This time I wanted dessert and we ordered a special gingerbread whoopie pie with fresh ice cream. It was SO good! This will be our go to spot for pizza, always! read more

Consistently good pizza, great ambience. Open concept so you can watch the pizzas being made and popped into the wood fired ovens.

Love love love this place! We've been going every weekend. I am addicted to the salad! The sausage flatbread is my favorite and I always get it unless the buffalo chicken is on special that day. Service can be hit or miss but the food is always great. read more

Visiting from NJ. One of the best pizza's my boyfriend and I have had. We got a small flatbread of their "Punctuated Equilibrium" & a small flatbread of their "Jimmy's Free Range Chicken". Perfectly enough for the two of us. Would have given it 5 stars, but unfortunately the service was very slow. Our waiter was very nice about it, but we were confused as to why service was slow considering many tables were open & a lot on staff. read more

Flatbread - Providence - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

A little bit expensive for pizza, but flatbread is a great option for when you want something a little better thought out than normal delivery. The vibe inside is cool, as you can see the pizza ovens. My favorite pizza is the chicken bacon ranch which is a special that appears every so often (other specials I remember are a corn beef and cabbage around st. patrick's day, something creative with potatoes on the pizza). The normal rotation is also very good and easily customizable. This place is really good for groups especially with diverse dietary preferences. They make a really good gluten free pizza and there is always a vegetarian pizza special along with their meat-based special. If they have a special topped with ranch and you don't get it, order the homemade ranch for dipping. It's "so good I could drink it" which I unfortunately said out loud too close to one of the servers, who dared me to take a sip...no regrets read more

As a Brown student I dined here countless times during college and beyond, most recently ordering takeout on a recent COVID Friday night. I'll first speak to the indoor dining experience - Flatbread is a gem on Thayer, where sit down options are slim. The atmosphere is generally casual, but the more upscale flair on pizza makes it a perfect spot to grab a meal with visiting parents of friends. The large indoor bar definitely makes for an adult dining experience. And the space is actually quite large, and serves well for private parties and events, or can accommodate larger tables of 12-15 for special occasions (pre-COVID times). It does get a bit noisy inside just by nature of it being an open space. Certainly has never been a bother while I've been dining, but may want to consider if you're dining with someone who has trouble hearing . The pizza is always great! I haven't officially worked my way through every pie on the menu, but I'd certainly be more than happy to. They use premier ingredients (eg homemade sausage, organic veggies and breads etc) and it shows - I have never been disappointed by the robust flavor each pizza brings. Flatbread excels at delicately balancing their exquisite flavors brought by veggies, meats, and seasonings, without overwhelming with any one taste. Among my favorites are the Homemade Sausage and Jimmy's Free Range Chicken. The only reason they get bumped a star is, unfortunately, the pizza's are a little pricey for the size of the pie (a hungry me could honestly eat a large by myself), and a large can barely be split between two hungry people. Because of that, it does tend to be a more expensive pizza meal than I intend. I will say that I do prefer Flatbread to other local wood/coal fired pizza options, notably Providence Coal Fired Pizza. Always recommend flatbread for that upscale pizza experience, but if you're looking for just a quick pizza dinner, maybe opt for one of the slightly less classy but much cheaper options on Thayer. read more

I'll keep this simple: Go to Flatbread. Get whatever special they're serving, or get the simplest item on the menu -- you won't be sorry. Everything, and I mean everything -- from the service to the mission to the food -- is wonderful. I've been a fan of Flatbread's since visiting the one on Martha's Vineyard, and was absolutely thrilled when I heard they were opening up in PVD. I was even more excited when I saw the 5-star reviews come pouring in, and I was overjoyed when the time came for me to finally go. In less that 48 hours, I was back for my second serving of heaven. Flatbreads, as far as I am concerned, hits the pizza sweet spot. Now, they never claim to be pizza, ever -- these are flatbreads. They flavor combos are extraordinary and thoughtful. Nearly everything on the menu is house-made, organic and local. How much to you love that? You see, they have an outstanding sense of community, and go above and beyond being just considerate. The staff is so friendly and very well versed on the menu. Excellent service all around. The space is HUGE -- really, I was shocked at the size and think it might actually be one of the largest venues in the neighborhood. Their beer menu is super impressive -- carefully selected local brews, and when I say local, I mean about 90% of them are from RI. Don't hesitate to visit this new spot, guys -- you don't wanna miss out! read more

TAKE OUT REVIEW: Always take my take out reviews with a grain of salt because let's be honest food taken home is never as good as in person. However the flatbread was pretty rock solid by the time I got it home which was pretty disappointing. Ingredients weren't super flavorful either. I don't think I would ever order take out from here again, but hey stay tuned for an upcoming dine in review that hopefully changes my opinion on this place. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place out! I love the atmosphere. The restaurant is huge, with an open kitchen, a large bar, and even a little nook with a library at one end. It smells like wood fire and baked bread. I liked being able to watch my pizza cook in the stone ovens. The flatbreads were pretty good, too. I had the homemade sausage flatbread and my friend had a cheese and tomato sauce flatbread. They stew their own tomato sauce in a cauldron over a wood fire. It was really good. There were a lot of organic and local ingredients too, which is always a plus for me. The restaurant location is not great, which isn't their fault, but it does detract a bit from the whole experience. They do seem to have a lot of parking though, so this helps with the isolation. Final verdict: I'm looking forward to going back! read more

This is a great place for gluten free pizza. The regular pizza is probably even better but I would not know! The salads are very small considering how much they cost, though the ingredients are always are very fresh. Note the parking lot is tiny so you might end up driving a bit to find a place to park or have to pay a little bit at a lot or meter during the day. All the same I am looking forward to coming here for lunch sometime. The servers are some of the nicest ever and never rush you out. This is a spot where my book club meets sometimes and it's perfect because no one seems to mind us lingering over a few pizzas and a drink or two each for an extended period of time on a not super busy weeknight. read more

Food was great, just forgot things we paid/asked for. No ice cream with our dessert, forgot our utensils, and also didn't call with when they delivered and disturbed our airbnb hosts, but the food was bussin. read more

I've been to other Flatbreads so knew what to expect from the menu when I walked in. This location is so much bigger in size than I expected and is very open. The section we sat in had very high ceilings and you could see part of the exterior of the original building. It's got a nice vibe. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive, almost too attentive, but I'll get back to that. The cocktail menu is great. I'm going to have to go back just to try a few others. The Mule I had was awesome. We split an organic salad with blue cheese to start. It was fresh, flavorful and had a great dressing. We ordered two small flatbreads, the carne special which was meatball with green pepper and onion and a Jack's free range chicken. I appreciate the use of local, organic ingredients and both flatbreads were crispy and flavorful. The chicken one in particular was very well thought out and a good blend of ingredients. I would have liked to see more toppings on the flatbreads. The comment from Jessica S about Bob and Timmy's being better? She's right. The red pizza is much better than the red sauce flatbread I had here. The one thing that I didn't like about the visit was how rushed I felt from start to finish. It was a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was only half-full,so no need to rush. I like to relax on a Sunday afternoon and I didn't feel relaxed during my visit here. Hopefully this was just a fluke. We do plan a return visit. read more

This place will surprise you. First, from the outside it looks quite small, but once you walk in, you'll see it's massive. Really cool atmosphere inside. Plenty of space, great vibe, and nice decor. Second, the pizzas are great! Local ingredients, organic ingredients, and tasty ingredients. Pizzas come out in no time and are perfectly cooked. Go here. Go here often. Oh, and good luck squeezing into a parking space in their lot out front. A single spot can fit a bike but not a car...or a smart car. You'll have to double park. Don't feel bad. Because the pizza you're gonna eat inside is going to be glorious. read more

Flatbread - Providence - Veggie Special of the Day and the Mopsy's Kalua Pork Pie. Yum and yum. - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

What a great place. Spacious, kid friendly and some seriously good pizza. "Oh, it's trendy. Oh, it's hipster." SHUT UP. Yes, theres a "hip" vibe going on, but all the servers are down to earth and the open kitchen area is full of skilled pizza makers. Great artwork festoons the walls, the covers of the menus are drawn by patrons; little kids drawing awful looking unicorns and pizza cats to RISD students doodling away. Also, most of the tables and chairs are reclaimed from wooden bleachers somewhere out in the great wilds of Wisconsin. The floors are also reclaimed from an old lumber mill in RI. (If u need more in-depth info ask a friendly server.) If all of this aesthetically pleasing info doesn't do it for you, there is a full on book nook with really comfy couches in the back. Who the hell can pish-posh a place where you can get lovingly crafted pizza and drink great craft beers while you read? For picky, less than picky people, they have standard beers and i'm sure they can make less "trendy" mixed drinks if you want. Pizza. Pizza. The pizza is great. If you don't want pizza....go somewhere else. It's a pizza place. A very good pizza place. Did I say pizza? It's not NY pizza but it extremely good. Artisan, hip, trendy, call it what you will but do not knock it until you've tried it. Even if you don't want to sit down for dinner or come with a party, the bar itself is long. I mean like almost 25-30 seats long, depending on how wide everyones butt is. Seriously, give this pizza a chance, you will not be disappointed. PIZZA! read more

4 stars based on food , 2 based on service. However, can't really say that is true all the time as this was the one and only time I'll come, here on a vacation. Ingredients were incredibly fresh! Got mushroom and pepperoni flatbread and salad. All fresh, tasty, would highly recommend a visit based on that. Also, pretty cool they allow dogs on the patio. Upon being seated, we saw at least 3 tables getting served before us. No idea what was up with that but we had to grab someone to get served. After that however, staff did seem attentive and corrected. read more
