"For a little entertainment with dinner, American Flatbread comes with a side of candlepin bowling. The Somerville location of this regional chain — no longer connected to Flatbread Company, which used to occupy this venue — has a wide range of options, all of which can be made on gluten-free crusts for an additional charge. Find another American Flatbread location, also with bowling, at Boston Landing in Brighton." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff

"For both longtime residents and students nearby, Sacco’s screams nostalgia. Established in 1939 by the Sacco family, American Flatbread took over this storied bowling alley but kept many of the original features, including the vintage-style candlepin bowling. Entering this place feels like traveling back in time, plus some delicious wood-fired pies and 20 craft beers on tap." - Valerie Li Stack

Super yummy pizza!!! It was fun to watch the food being prepared and there was no wait to be seated for lunch. Next time we will have to try bowling.

Loved this spot, I will be back to bowl! Their pizzas/flatbreads really hit the spot. Not too heavy or thick, and I liked how the chicken was so finely shredded so I didn't get a huge bite of meat. It was just genuinely a good time. Plus they have outdoor seating!

They sell amazing dairy free pizzas that are baked in a wood fire oven and the hostess staff and manager are super nice! Plus they also have a bowling alley with a bar too.

Excellent pizza and solid bar overlooking a rustic bowling alley. Great staff and decent rotating cocktail menu that I think is seasonal. There's always a seat at the bar despite the place being busy. Great spot. I've gone several times now and the pepperoni and peppers pizza has become something of a favorite dish for me in the area. I recommend stopping in.

Best flatbread pizza around. Tried both specials today, the pot pie and the veggie rainbow. The first was great and the second good. Very chill and friendly vibe. Parking lot nearby helps a lot

Great option for lunch. Low key. Tons of beer options. Pizza is amazing. Service is outstanding. Go here. Spend money.

Part of a party of 60+. Never had more miserable bartenders in my life. When u order a drink they give u a side eye or roll their eyes. On an off night you think they’d be happy to have a busy party instead they are upset. Then have the audacity to say we are doing our best your tip is uncalled for. Poor service childish venue. Good for a 3rd grade field trip

The pizza wasn't a wow, but it was thin and oven baked. We've had better oven baked pizza than this place, but it's worth trying. It was great to play bowling with kids because the balls were small and easy to handle Apart from everything else, it was so noisy and crowded

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!

Such a fun and relaxing time here. Food and drink were fantastic. Thanks to the pizza making team. You are really talented, especially Joey who really put on a great show spinning that dough!

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.

Had a hearty but balanced dinner at the bar recently (no reservation, on a Sunday early evening). Service was great and friendly, waters always filled. We tried their daily special pizza (miso veggie) and a more traditional pepperoni/peppers. Both were super crispy with a good ratio of toppings. I loved how the server gave us a few hot sauces to try with them, too. We also ordered one individual Evolution salad to split between 2 people and it was plenty (and delicious!). Prices quite reasonable for the Camberville area and the food was really tasty. Will definitely return!

We are die-hard fans of The Flatbread Company franchise that's scattered throughout New England. The American Flatbread company seems like a close (almost too close) spin-off of that franchise and for those reasons we had very high expectations. The staff and the kitchen did not disappoint, it was beautiful cocktails and beautiful pizza! They also had a bowling alley (which you need to plan for a long night in order to play on).... I was taken back by the bowling aspect but definitely impressed!

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.

All around awesome. Love this place! Great pizzas, salads, and lemonade. Bowling is always a blast and the pizza ovens add to the ambiance. Kids enjoy coming here with friends.

Tasty pizza place reminds me of classic places in Brooklyn. Large space includes a massive, industrial eating area along with bowling alleys. I haven't partaken of the candlestick bowling but looks like it could be a fun evening with friends. I have also ordered from them and their pizza travels well.

Variety of pizza topping options that range from goat cheese hawaiian(?) to sausage sun dried tomatoes(?). If you're confused by the topping assortments just know you're not alone. The flavors speak for themselves as the flatbreads are cooked perfectly charred on the bottom and gooey up top. Service was quick and easily accessible. Only issue is the music makes it incredibly hard to hear someone more than 1 seat away. Very lively ambience and would recommend for big parties!

I was introduced to this spot by a friend who lives nearby and I wish I knew about it earlier! The environment is very family friendly, relaxing, and homey. You can see the pizza being baked in the open oven, which is always a fun little thing to have. I'm very picky with my pizza crusts and I loved the ones here. It was thin, crispy and didn't fall apart or droop from the toppings. We got the half and half of two of their current specials (the names of the specials is escaping me but I have a photo) and they were both great. Packed with flavors that worked very well together. On top of the food, the workers were really friendly and kind. I'm excited to come back and try the other flatbreads!

American Flatbreads is a comfortable restaurant, bar, and bowling alley. I personally eat the salad every time I go because of the quality farm to table greens it has with a tasty dressing and even like the seaweed. I often get the farm fresh cheese on the salad. The cocktails always outstanding recipes. The beer collection are always local source and the best of the best. My wife like the wine selection too. The pizza are also the best, you can find something for everybody, even vegan. The meats on the pizza are often freshly roasted or pulled chicken/pork. Not your ordinary rare much better.

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.

Good pizza, solid service. No complaints except I wish there was a little more to the menu. There's a couple salads and the pizza specials change periodically but if I'm not in the mood for wood fired pizza specifically there's a lot of other choices nearby.

This place is the real deal. Friendly staff but more importantly awesome and delicious fire oven pizza. Wood fire. Beer and bowling OMG it doesn't get any better than that. If you're not local, it's worth the trip.

Timely and attentive. Some of the tastiest pizza I've had. Great selection of brews too!

I never leave reviews but I do look at reviews to make decisions when I chose to eat out. I ordered flatbread online and paid $25 for a soggy gluten-free crust with cheese on it. I got spinach and red peppers for a topping. That was it!!! I'm not even kidding the $1.50 for spinach was literally 7 leaves of spinach. My girlfriend placed the order unfortunately and I was so disappointed for the price to value of this transaction. Hope it doesn't happen to someone else.

American Flatbread gets points for the cool aesthetic and points off for the candle pins bowling and style of pizza. The bowling at American is not your typical bowling. They use smaller balls, maybe weighing five pounds and the size of grapefruits. It sort of makes the game harder because the ball is the width of a single pin and therefore usually can't have the strikes you get with normal bowling. You do get three tries instead of two for each round. The aesthetic is great, I'll give it that. This would probably be a great place to sit in and have a beer. But a pizza? I was not a fan of the pizza. I'm not sure what my group ordered, but it must have been the Buffalo Chicken because there was celery on the pizza. Who puts celery on pizza? Also, it didn't taste at all like Buffalo Chicken, or even good at all. I would not come here for the pizza/flatbread. All in all, I'd come here if I wasn't actually serious about bowling - maybe if I had small children who'd have an easier time tossing the smaller bowling balls and wouldn't mind not hitting any pins. Or perhaps if I came here for the drinks and not the food.

This place is fantastic for groups and kids. The pizzas are really delicious. Salads and desserts not so much. Plenty of seating, but if you want to go bowling, you really must reserve lanes in advance. Great way to keep the littles occupied while you eat and have a glass of wine or beer. There is easy, free street parking out front.

Bowling is so fun!! Food is good too! Reservations fill up quickly so book in advance

Our group of 4 came for the candlepin bowling (we had never heard of it) and decided to eat while waiting for our lanes to open up. GREAT decision!! The staff is incredible and the food even more so. One of our group had the Evolution salad which he said was wonderful. Between the 4 of us, we ordered a 1/2 vegan 1/2 Flyin' Hawaiian and a Jimmy's Chicken. All were delicious! We had to get the Barbara's brownie sundae--warmed brownie with 2 scoops of ice cream, homemade chocolate sauce, and maple flavored whipped cream. Scrumptious! Candlepin bowling was so much fun but a lot harder than what we thought.

I ate at American Flatbread while at Sacco's to bowl. I really enjoyed how the wait staff would bring the pizza right to your lane! I tried the plain pizza and the Buffalo chicken - I preferred the plain because the Buffalo chicken seemed to have more sauce/celery/carrots than actual chicken. The potato and chive pizza looked interesting, but not my cup of tea. I liked how they cut the pizza to make it more of a flatbread than traditional triangle slices, but it did make it a bit harder to eat. Overall, pretty solid and well seasoned.

Anna F.

Yelp
Fun time here! I had half mushroom uncured pepperoni, half Vermont goat cheese, kalamata olive, rosemary, roasted red pepper. I liked the tanginess of the goat cheese, but have to say my favorite was the pepperoni side. Can't beat that pepperoni- big, thin, crisp, and tasty. A friend pointed out that the flatbread is less filling than pizza, because of the dough being more stretched out. That means more room to try different flatbreads, lol.

These people... they tell you to book a reservation online, but their online reservation system is broken. So you call them. They tell you "we can't take reservations on the phone but yeah just walk in on a Tuesday there's never a line". Then you come an hour out of your way and when you get there, they quote you a 2 hour wait and suggest that it's your own fault for not planning better. Don't waste your time. Leave this place for the annoying college kids who crowd it before you have a chance to get there after work. They won't care that they ruined your night. Why should you give them your business?

Best pizza in the neighborhood; the base, the toppings, the creations; American Flatbread is our go-to for ordering pizza. Here is why I had to come back after a delivery order immediately to write a review: Yesterday I ordered 4 large pizzas, but received 4 large + 1 small. A happy mistake for us, I thought. For one of the large pizza, I had added a note "no mustard on one half please". It seems they did not see the note and put mustard on all the pizza. And it turns out the small pizza was not a mistake, it was a free pizza they sent without mustard to meet my request. No note, no message, no fuss. They just gifted us a pizza.

I had heard rave reviews for Flatbread, so wanted to check it out on a recent visit to Cambridge. I wouldn't consider what they offer a pizza. Of course, growing up in the New York/New Jersey area, there is only one classification for pizza... New York Style! So, let's just go with the name Flatbread. We ordered the Veggie Special of the Day, the Jimmy John's, and a Plain flatbread. I would say they were good, not $20 per flatbread good, but good. My primary complaint would be that there was way too much crust. They really could spread more toppings and cheese across the flatbread. The place is really cool with a bowling alley, wood fired ovens and a very open floor plan. The open floor plan also ups the noise level making it hard to talk to the person across the table from you. There was about an hour wait for a table on a Saturday evening. We were able to call ahead and put our name on the list. Flatbread is a fun, energetic place, but on the pricier side for what you get.

A friend and I ordered takeout flatbread from this place. We ordered a Large split 50-50 between the Potato and Chive and the Veggie. The latter was described on the online take-out menu as: "Changes Weekly! Veggie- THE GREEK-ZA House-made spinach and basil pesto, kalamata olives, Pineland Farms Feta, fresh tomatoes from New Entry Sustainable Farming, organic red onion, whole milk mozzarella, parmesan, organic herb mix" I assumed that this meant that this week's option was the Greek-Za - this turned out to be a bad assumption. The good: the potato and chive half of the flatbread was delicious, and the other half was still pretty good - the cheeses were nice, the crust was lovely and crispy. The bad: the Veggie half bore no resemblance to the description on the website - it just seemed to be a cheese pizza with pickles on it. No pesto, no olives, no fresh tomatoes. We would have ordered a different second half if the website had correctly indicated the weekly special. I don't think it was just a mistake by the cook, either - none of the other flatbreads listed on the website match what we got - so I'm guessing we did get the weekly vegetarian special, just the description is out of date. It would be great if the restaurant could either provide an up-to-date link to the current special, or at least replace the description with something like "Changes weekly; call the restaurant for this week's special" if it's not possible to keep it updated online. I'll probably come back to get the potato chive flatbread and try some of the other options, but I'm not going to order the veggie special again if I have no idea what I'm going to get (especially as I was eating with a friend who has some food intolerances).

I've got a butt ton of check ins here because I love the atmosphere and the pizza. I used to work in Davis square, and gained about 30 pounds in a year. (Yes, its shamefully not an exaggeration). I owe about half of those pounds to Flatbread, and I'm okay with that. Worth it. 10/10 would do it again.

This is a nice restaurant with specially cooked flat bread pizza in stoves. Fresh and delicious. I believe the bread dough is made in a special way because it tastes vey sticky and chewy. Slightly pricy for the food itself but it's a fun place anyways. The large pizza costs 19 plus each. The atmosphere is like a cozy family especially kid friendly place. The tables are very wide to serve big plates of pizza. And beaches and booth seats are very cozy and relaxing. There are at least two kids' patries during the Saturday night when we dined there. One thing I don't like is this place smells weird...... I'm not sure if it's because my nose is too sensitive or a pair of shoes or bowling shoes were nearby my seats for some reason...... I can just smell it during that dinner ...... which made me very uncomfortable. After a while it went away. It's quite busy during Saturday night. I also noticed that a lot of people take pizzas home and order delivery from here. That might worths trying.

Visited on a Thursday night in November 2018. We were a group of 4 guys and a first time for all of us trying our candle pin bowling. Bowling lanes were booked (It usually is booked and the wait is about 1-2 hours) so we wrote down our name and headed to have pizza and beer. Pizzas come with unique toppings and of course the crust is flat! Must Try: Jimmy's Free-Range Chicken Pizza Candle pin bowling is a must try, go experience it if you already haven't! I'd recommend everyone to check it out.

We've been here three times for kids birthday parties. I hesitate to write this review as I'd selfishly like to keep it a secret, but this is the best kids birthday venue in the area. The bowling is with the small balls and pins, very easy for kids, plus they have bumpers and even a little device for really small kids where they just set the ball on the tray and it rolls down. The pizza is great, and they make it in a fire oven on site. They also have good coffee and drinks. The staff was very friendly, and helpful.

I was visiting Boston, I have been here a few times. This review is based on multiple visits. Service has been very good all the times I have been there. Pizza: Very good and get the large and split it for two people, they always allow you split toppings, so you can try more than one pizza. The Bar: if you come late at night, its crowded and hard to get drinks, the bartenders are very good and quick, they have a large beer selection as well. Bowling: I only got to try this once and only for like 30 mins, we didn't keep score and we just tried to play for fun, very cool concept, never done this type of bowling anywhere.

Best gluten free pizza spot! My boy friend and I go here often because we LOVE the pizza. I'm gluten free so it's really hard to find good pizza that I can eat. These guys kill it every time. They are always very accommodating and welcoming. The staff is wonderful, everyone who has served us has been super down to earth and friendly. 10/10. Thank you guys for everything you're doing to keep us safe and satisfied. (:

Steve at the Flatbread Company helped make for a remarkable celebration of my mother's birthday. We have visited Flatbread Company locations throughout New England and Somerville is second to none. The pizza and atmosphere are outstanding. Everything about the experience is outstanding. Thank you.

Great place to eat dinner! Plus there's bowling right next door for an indoor activity. I came here with a group of 6. The four of us split the house salad and a large kahlua pizza. It was plenty of food for four girls. Salad was tasty as it can be but the pizza was delicious. I have family in Hawaii so I had very high expectation. The pulled pig was to par! I would recommend it to people who have never tried it!

A hidden gem! Was craving pizza late last night and decided to try this place. The pizza is legit. Tried their simple cheese pizza which I believe is called the medicine wheel. The pizza tasted fresh and not too salty. I believe they also use organic ingredients. Friendly staff as well. This has definitely become my new go to pizza place. (Wanted to take a pic but didn't get a chance since it was eaten within the first 5 minutes of getting it :))

We all got a little misty when a gang of hyper-violent Detroit criminals brutally gunned down police officer Alex J. Murphy. Then science stepped in, scienced some stuff and a newer, better Alex J. Murphy was born. His name was RoboCop. A similar tale surfaced in Somerville: Flatbread gave the old, slowing boy in blue Sacco's Bowl Haven a hot organic beef injection, bringing their signature pies, a gaggle of stellar local brews and mellow service to the hybrid space. Showing respect to its former humanity, there still exist 10 or so candlepin lanes ready for your unskilled, greasy-handed attempts at bowling. Laura J. and I moseyed in one afternoon for a spot of lunch. The dining area is large enough to escape the potential madness of the lanes, which is helpful when you want to savor the romance of a pizza parlor wedding proposal without the shrill victory cries over Bob's 4-strike turkey. The artisan, namesake offerings rock a slew of all-natural, locally sourced toppings, so we decided to split two individual items: a chicken dealy with black beans, corn, tomatoes and a sour cream drizzle, and a nitrate-free pepperoni magoo with mushrooms and wood-fired tomato sauce. Remember how RoboCop would pull a gun from his leg? From his LEG, people. Man-thing was rad. Don't listen to the menu that suggests a flatbread is good for two people. They are lying liars. A person is good for two flatbreads. I speak the truth. In all seriousness, the wood-fired oven sidling the dining room delivers wholesome, delicious grub that will have me running back faster than the guy who realized he was going to get all shot up by the buggy ED-209. "Put down your weapon. You have 15 seconds to comply." Done-zo. The beer list is quite impressive, with local favorites and tough-to-locate specialties, and the featured flatbreads rotate seasonally. Next time, maybe I'll save room for a small batch soda float with Richardson's ice cream. Or maybe I'll eat the crusts off the neighbor's table. ThAnK.YoU.FoR.YoUr.COoPeRaTiOn.

Hip(ster), local, quirky, chaotic. Flatbreads is Somerville epitomized. You have to really want it though. Once I had plans to go with a friend on a Thursday at 8, so I tried calling ahead for dinner reservations. They let me know nuhuh that wasn't gonna happen. But I could call in about half an hour before showing up to hopefully get a better spot on the list and not wait as long. Alrighty then. That's what I did, and it actually worked out great! We got seated right away. The hostesses always seem to be in a rush and a bit stressed, but I can understand - what with the food and the bowling and the hipsters - there's a lot going on. Unfortunately, I've never gotten the chance to bowl. Another time, I signed up my group around 7 PM on a Saturday and was told there was a super slim chance that we'd get a turn. We were a bit disappointed, but the tasty food cheered us up, and we moved on. Then I get a call at 11:30 PM saying we were next on the list if we were still up for it! Too late, Flatbreads. You were being flaky, so we went with Plan B for the night. Even if you don't get to play, however, the candlepin bowling is a cool, very New England backdrop. I dig it. As for the food, my recommendation is to try the pizza. Any pizza. Being a pretty carnivorous chick, I often find veggie options at restaurants boring. Not here! Their creativity makes even a veg crave-worthy. The last time I came, we ordered their veggie special with sweet potato puree, goat cheese, figs, and carmelized onions. The sweetness of the toppings was perfectly complimented by the chewy, slightly charred crust. I'd call that pretty special indeed (Although admittedly it would have been out of this world with some prosciutto to further counterbalance the sweetness. Sorry my meat-lover is showing again). Skip the salad, though. It made be made with local ingredients and all that jazz, but I found it to be pretty tasteless. Oh and don't forget the beer! They offer a great number of local options (served in the brewery's own glasses) at super affordable prices (around $5). Drink decisions can often be a challenge for me, so I let my server know that I don't like hoppy beers and asked for her recommendations. "Well this is Davis, after all, so most of the beers are pretty hoppy. That's also why there's so much whiskey in our mixed drinks." See, they don't even try to hide how hipser they are. Hilarious. She then goes off and brings me four (4!) samples of different beers so that I can make an informed decision. This was much appreciated, as even the "non-hoppy" beers felt hoppy to my palate. I ended up going with a watermelon one that was served with a huge chunk of melon on the rim, and it was a great decision. Don't leave this Davis dive withing indulging in dessert! Last time, we got the special on the chalkboard which was pound cake a la mode with a blueberry compote. The cake was warmed in their wood-fire over so was slightly charred. A solid summer sweet, to say the least. My favorite dessert there is the brownie sundae, which is also warmed up in that oven. I recommend ordering it with one scoop vanilla and one scoop pumpkin ice creams. Any place that serves pumpkin-flavored things outside of fall earns high marks in my book. Come over to Flatbreads to have some locally-produced pizza, hoppy beer, maybe bowl in a few hours if you're lucky, and get the true Somerville hipster experience.

Second best pizza in the entirety of the greater Boston area (yes, better than Regina, peppis). Crust: hand made, so incredibly fresh. Would pay for this on its own. Sauce: sweet but not overpowering. Perfect amount. Standard toppings: they have this incredible garlic and oregano flavor that comes through in every bite. What seals the deal? Maple sausage. Truly the best pizza topping I've ever had. So sweet and savory, crumbly with no grissle. We get takeout from here all the time and if you have some time, Bowl a few rounds too.

How anyone could give this place less than 5 stars is beyond me. The best Pizza in the area, a great staff that always goes above and beyond, a great selection of local beers and fun bowling to boot! I hope this place is around for another 50 years at least! We love it.

Christie L.

Yelp
Flatbread pizza and candlepin bowling?! Hell yeah. Best flatbread pizzas I have ever tasted. So much flavor in each bite. The ingredients are organic which make the pizzas a bit more pricey, but it is totally worth it! I tried the Homemade Sausage and the Cheese & Herb. Both were phenomenal. I came for a school event so there wasn't a wait to bowl. If you haven't tried candle pin bowling, you should definitely try it. It's a bit different since you don't have finger holes to grip and you get to throw 3 balls instead of 2 balls. But the essential rules are the same. This is a fun place to hang out and get some delicious pizza or maybe a beer. There is also a dining area which had nice decor so if you aren't into bowling, come try their pizzas!

Located RIGHT off the Davis T stop. So convenient, but still confusing when there aren't any street signs in like.. a 6 way street criss cross apple sauce divider. Maybe it was just dark, but my friend and I had a difficult time finding where Day St was. Just know, it's not the street with all the lighted up shops on it. It's the more secluded street ANYWAYS. after finally finding this place, we find out there's candlepin bowling AND huge tables?? This place is great for groups! Their ingredients are locally grown and some are even grown on their rooftop :O We got a large and a small pizza for the 3 of us, which was PLENTY enough Small sausage- really good. There was a strong mushroom flavor, which I like and I think it tastes better with pepper flakes You can do half/half on any size, so of course we took advantage of that and got the Kalua Pork and their special for that night My favorite was the special- it had super thinly sliced potatoes, bacon, rosemary cream sauce, and spinach. YUMMM The pork and pineapple one was my least favorite, but it was still flavorful! I liked the goat cheese on it. The only bad thing is you should eat these while they're HOT. When they cool down, the crust gets harder and oilier, the pork gets tough, and it's just.. not as good. Also... I imagined flatbreads as having a thicker crust than pizza, but these were pretty much just like pizzas cut in strips lol, but I'm not complaining! Left with a satisfied belly and smile on my face.

The gluten free pizza crust is very good!!! Add a salad and its a great meal. I bring my friend and we share the salad, then I eat two slices and he destroys the rest of the pizza :). Its really loud because of the bowling alley but laid back and casual. Great place to go to hang out and grab something good. Keeping it simple is good all around!

What a unique place to come to. Wood fired pizza and candlepin bowling make a solid combo for spending an afternoon with friends or coworkers. The pizza is absolutely marvelous and cooked to perfection in their large pizza ovens (which are on display). From the dough spinning to your teeth biting the crust you can see the entire process in front of you. Their beer selection is excellent, really impressed with how many high quality beers on tap and in cans they have. Just wish they pumped more A/C cause when I'm bowling things can get real and sometimes I'm in the zone.

Good place by Davis Square to get a pizza ("flatbread" to be precise). The small sized one is more than enough for one person. I had the cheese & herb flatbread to which I added roasted chicken. I'm always wary of burned pizza crusts when I see the ovens as the main focus of the restaurant when you walk in. Surprisingly the crusts came out perfect and the flatbread was delicious. There is a bowling alley attached to the restaurant for those looking for something to do before/after.

I came here with a large group (8-10 people) back in October and had a great experience. The pizza was so good! They had some very unique pizza flavors (one was like a thanksgiving dinner on a 'za) and "punctuated equilibrium" aka olives/goat cheese/herby/veggie goodness.

This place rules. Its got such a fun environment, really driving home a local somervillian feel even though im pretty sure its a chain. The pizza rocks. Mopsys is my favorite but some of the other white pizza options rock too. Great beer list. Cozy. Fun. Just awesome. Can't say enough nice things

I have been going to this Flatbread location since before it was under new management and called "Sacco's Bowl Haven". They had pool in addition to bowling back then, but not the delicious food you can get here now. This is a great place for work-related team outings - I've taken my team here twice for bowling & food and it's been a hit each time with employees requesting we go back for our next event! People enjoy the food, the atmosphere, the beer selection and of course, the bowling. I took a friend who came in from out of town here a few weeks ago and we had a blast - we went at lunch time so we had our pick of the lanes and bowled to our heart's content while eating one of their pies and drinks. One thing to note is that if you want to come here with a group to bowl in the evenings, it can get really busy so I'd recommend calling ahead!
