American Flatbread

American Flatbread serves excellent pizza that showcases the best of Vermont. Fresh ingredients and wood ovens are the heroes of this establishment. I enjoyed a pie split between the revolution and the featured Vermont cheese.

This place serves the best wood-fired pizza I’ve ever had! The crust was perfectly charred with that amazing smoky flavor you can only get from a wood-fired oven—crispy on the outside and soft and chewy inside. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the toppings were incredibly fresh and well-balanced. You can tell a lot of care goes into crafting each pizza. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. If you’re a fan of authentic wood-fired pizza, you need to try this spot.

Such a cool location! Very cozy, it’s awesome to see the pizza ovens! All of the pizza flavors (we ordered 6 lol) were delicious! My favorite was the current special that had corn on it - all of the ingredients are fresh and flavorful!

The pizzas there were really good. I’m not a pizza lover, but I liked their sausage pizza. The evolution salad was delicious. Soup of the day was good. Refills for juice for the kids. The meatballs special was great and the sauce was a good pizza crust dipping. Highly recommend for people to try it.

What a cool place! The host was super fun and welcoming! He suggested the baguette and beer-cheese sauce for an appetizer and it was amazing!! The vibe is warm, welcoming, and elevated-cabin-esque! Huge, clean and semi-elegant bathrooms (signs on bathrooms are a little confusing, so slow down and read... or go in the wrong bathroom like my husband did! HA!). Large restaurant with lots of seating options (at lunch time - we arrived when they opened!) and lots of good beer options, too! I tried the Trapp beer flight special and it was a fun experience to taste them and read about the flavor profiles. The salad was so good, I forgot to take a photo, but just trust me and GET THE SALAD. The pizza (made in wood-fired ovens in the middle of the restaurant, open-air style so patrons can watch!) was incredible! The undercarriage crunchy, crust thin, toppings evenly proportioned with cheese and sauce. Definitely worth the visit... and worth the drive, even! We will be back! YUM!!

As a fan of American Flatbread's Portsmouth location, I was excited to try their Stowe spot. The local pepperoni pie was delicious with the same quality and flavor I've come to expect. Pickup was efficient with my order ready exactly on time. Consistently excellent no matter which location you visit—definitely worth a stop while in Stowe!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This Flatbread location is my favorite. Somehow the product is just better here; good organic products and the flatbread is consistent. The attitude of Aaron (GM) and his employees are inviting. This GM knows how to operate a business and keep you coming back. The place is clean and roomy. They have some great beer on tap, such as Hill Farmstead Brewery, a great Vermont beer.

Perfect spot after a long day of hiking. Nice open space with very friendly staff and great beer and flatbread!

We stopped in for dinner after an amazing Ben and Jerry's Factory visit just 15 minutes south which I highly recommend ( reserve tickets on line a must). We walked around the small town of Stowe and then drove north to the restaurant, plenty of parking and it was Summer so I'm sure in the winter during ski season it's a zoo! We ordered a small pepperoni pizza and the New Vermont Sausage pies - both excellent and plenty for my teen son and I to enjoy ! The ovens in the restaurant are a show and piece of art in and of itself which added to the fun atmosphere and great ambience. My wife loved the Kale and Sausage soup ( a special) and they have a ln awesome local beer list to choose from ! Really wonderful place for kids and large groups ( make a reservation) and enjoy the fun vibes at this location. We will be sure to come back the next time we are in town ! Even crazier I ran in to a friend I play weekly basketball with in Brooklyn so it really is a small world after all ! Enjoy this restaurant!

Gorgeous wood beam building, friendly service and great thin crust pizza! Pizza options were very interesting. I had the meat special. Yummy! Definitely worth checking out if you're in Stowe!

We had dinner here today because the bro wanted pizza. The place is massive but I'm beginning to think that's how y'all do it around here. Comfortable atmosphere with regular tables and areas with couches and chairs with coffee tables. There's also a bar area which is nice. We sat in the bar area. The pepperoni and peppers pizza was delicious and the crust was crispy and airy at the same time. We ordered a large and we ate all but one slice - and they cut the pizza in a lot of small slices so we REALLY almost finished the entire thing. I'm a fan. If I lived here, I'd come back again to try many more things.

Just outside the main drag in Stowe American Flatbread is located in a large airy barn like building. With a very open restaurant ambiance centered around the pizza oven in the middle it is a very welcoming restaurant. The menu consists of a variety of pizzas with something to please all from classic to modern takes. Cooked to perfection with a little char and tons of flavor our group was very happy with everything we ordered. Only kinda odd thing is the pizza comes out cut into strips of sorts rather than traditional slices

This was our first time here, and the lunch we ordered was really delicious! For a family of 16, we had five large flatbreads, one small special flatbread, two bloody Mary's, a Hill Farmstead Edward, two Pineapple Paradise, a Cider Donut alcoholic drink, and a family salad. The sizes were just right. Luckily, we were able to get seating for a large group, and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. The venue is very spacious with two floors. When you enter, you will see two large brick ovens in which they heat the flatbreads. They also have their own parking lot which is a plus. I highly recommended this place if you're in the area and in the mood for some good, handmade flatbreads and salads.

We went here on a Thursday night and it was quite busy, this is definitely a popular place! And I can see why - it's a great cozy spot on a cold winter night. With two massive brick ovens in the middle of the restaurant; the pizza making action is on full display and they have it down to an efficient science. Despite it being busy, we were in and out in under 40 minutes. Everything we ordered was delicious. The kale in the kale salad was so fresh and crunchy - perfection! I am so happy we checked this place out!

Service was great. Kale Ceasar salad was tasty starter. Split the buffalo chicken pizza, with half no onion, half no carrot. Could've skipped the half n half as toppings were few and far between. Not much chicken a few small o ion pieces, and not sure I could actually identify any carrots on my half.

TLDR: solid pizza spot We came during the heatwave and while it was cooler inside unfortunately still warm. The food itself was great. We got a salad and two pizzas (one small and one large) which was enough for 3 average eaters. Loved seeing the classic pizzas and also fun twists such as our huervos ranchero flatbread. Drink menu looked great too and wouldn't mind coming back here!

We had a great meal at American Flatbread in Stowe! It wasn't an option originally on our list of places to eat, but we were at Stowe Cider next door and we were starving. It was also close by to our hotel which was a huge plus. We gave it a go and we were so pleased! Our server told us that we could do half and half pizzas, so we ordered two pizzas in four different flavors. I did the Fun Guy and the Medicine Wheel with the special cheese offering and my boyfriend did the Revolution and New Vermont Sausage. I love how they showcase local foods, farms, and flavors - that is always a huge win in my book when traveling or trying a new restaurant. It was really cool to watch the pizzas being cooked in the central pizza oven. You are able to see all of the stations and see how methodically they work. The menu options were great, the ambiance was amazing, and it was an overall great meal during our time in Stowe. I would definitely go back if I find myself in the area again!

Fantastic experience here in Stowe. We had trouble finding a good pizza spot and gambled on American Flatbread. We were really happy with the quality of the pizza we got -- we ordered normal pepperoni and a plain gluten free. The gluten free was well done, which can be difficult. The pepperoni was enhanced with some great herb/spice toppings which made it feel elevated. Will definitely be returning!

With very few exceptions, the restaurant I end up going to after a big hike gets graded on a curve - I'm typically famished and everything tastes great. This unfortunately was one of those very few exceptions. The Millennial Chum and I came here for early dinner last Sunday after hiking up Mount Mansfield in oppressive humidity. We were both very hungry and - full disclosure - after checking out two or three restaurants in town that weren't open during their normal business hours and/or didn't have Italian-ish food (the Chum was craving something in the pasta genre), we settled on this spot. The exterior caught the Millennial Chum's eye each time we drove by it during the prior day or so; tt looks very edgy with cool outdoor seating, like the kind of place you'd want to hang out for a while with a drink (and I thought I deserved a nice nip after watching sweat pour off my chin for five hours). It was close to dinner time, but was VERY empty when we walked in. It filled up a bit during the meal, but the large, open, barn-like space inside seemed bigger than I assume it usually does. Regardless, wasn't difficult to get a table. One of the bigger issues for us was something that speaks to the overall business model (and maybe the locals and/or other tourists are fine with it, especially given that they've expanded into a regional chain) - the lack of variety on the menu. It's literally nothing but flatbreads. We obviously knew that our main meal here was going to be that, but we were hoping to have an appetizer to munch on. What was particularly frustrating about this is that each table had a little specials menu in their napkin holder that advertised a charcuterie app. Excellent, exactly what we were thinking. When we tried to order it though, the waitress sheepishly said it wasn't on the menu anymore and they hadn't gotten around to updating it. That would be bad anyway, but this wasn't even on the actual menu - it was on a tiny piece of paper that they have to by definition manually put on the tables each day. Why wouldn't you just...not do that? A real unforced error in my opinion. In terms of menu options I was able to successfully order, I went with the Maple Bourbon Smash and a Cheese & Herb flatbread. The cocktail was honestly pretty tasteless - I probably should have pivoted once I saw the disclaimer next to it that it was from the tap at the bar, because it tasted more like watery beer than anything bourbon-based. I could barely taste the bourbon and never tasted maple. The garnish was pleasant to look at but I don't know too many people who base the success of their cocktails on the one part of it they can't ingest. The flatbread was surprisingly not good either. And this also could be a regional palate issue, but we both were disappointed that it wasn't particularly flat/crispy, which is what we're accustomed to in the NYC metro area. It was very chewy/doughy and something I'd be more into eating in college at 2am versus a formal restaurant situation. Very greasy too; really the only distinction this had for me that set it apart from average pizza is that it was just cut differently. The only redeeming quality here was the service. We had two different waitresses (one took over in the middle), both of whom were very nice and accommodating. The switch didn't cause any problems whatsoever. When I'm super hungry like this, wait times feel longer than average but I thought everything was promptly delivered from beginning to end. It's an intangible they can hopefully build on going forward. I don't know if this was just an off night (this place has a lot of positive reviews) but there wasn't a single menu item I would recommend here. It's unlikely I'm going to be in the area again but I'd steer clear in the future.

Service was great; thank you Emily and the entire staff. The New Vermont Sausage was a very tasty pizza, with some delicious sausage on it (they make the sausage in house). I also really enjoyed the red ale that they had on tap. My only nit is that the crust wasn't crispy.... But, it was nice and thin, which I like. My wife had the Green State lager which was also tasty, and a gazpacho and salad. The gazpacho was just so so, but she enjoyed her salad which had some delicious seasoned walnuts in it Atmosphere inside was ho hum; next time we'll need to sit on the outside patio.

Meh. The flatbreads were interesting with more creative toppings - flatbreads are different than pizza in that they are way thinner and not all have tomato sauce. We skipped a $9 salad to avoid filling up so we could sample more of the flatbreads. We tried New Vermont Sausage, Pepperoni & Peppers and Revolution. The flatbreads were overall quite good - not great but good. The sausage had a tendency to roll off onto the table. We didn't taste much tomato sauce. In case you're wondering grana padano which is on all the flatbreads is similar to parmesan cheese. As I said the food was good but not good enough to overcome the price, service and ambiance. $80 for dinner for 2 is kind of ridiculous for flatbread no matter how gourmet and organic. Note that your bill will contain a "3% labor of love service charge" which is stated on the menu - we were truly baffled by this as it's not enough to cover a poor tip so does that mean that most patrons give lower tips so this is needed to supplement that? The waitstaff was super friendly but we were given no water even though it was not crowded - it was so bad that we had to get up and get it ourselves from the wait station nearby. Ambiance - the music was bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sugar Ray Someday which we don't happen to like so we found it particularly grating to listen to it so loudly. The outdoor seating was particularly uncomfortable - hard metal. We won't be going back but we also wouldn't tell people to avoid it.

WAYYY better than we expected! Restaurant is amazing inside. Pizza is some of the best I've ever had! Go check it out!!!

Food was great! Ambience was great! Definitely go with a reservation, they are very busy on a Saturday night. Took off 2 stars because they seemed to lose track of our reservation and sat us at a closed bar, which we were questioned for sitting at by multiple waiters. Otherwise, our waiter was great and meal was everything we wanted!

Would recommend dining in. I am thinking the pizza just doesn't travel well as it was soggy and cheese was tough/chewy. Even after reheating was not the most enjoyable. I believe the meatballs were boil cooked and covered with sauce and cheese thereafter.. Seems like a popular spot and many friends dined in so do that. The kale salad was fantastic and made up for the rest.

This spot is hands down among the pizza I've ever had. The kale salad is beyond tasty, too. I'm so impressed. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Vermont.

Wonderful summer veggie pizza and kale Caesar salad . nice wine and cider. The up charge for cheese and ranch was not made known. We truly appreciated the live music.

I'm a little conflicted on only giving 4 stars. The pizza was so good and the service was great. I would come back for the pizza again. However, because this is more of a casual place we experienced little kids running around by the hot pizza oven and the open kitchen. We sat right by the oven where we could watch and this was very disruptive to our dinner. I was also worried they would trip the servers and their parents didn't seem to care. One other note since we sat right where you could see everything people were constantly stopping by our table to watch the pizza cook. We had many behinds very close to us as we ate as people would just walk up and stare. If not for both those issues we would have stayed so my husband could have another beer. Lastly the parking is CRAZY, they share a lot with Stowe Cider and it is nearly impossible to find a spot. If you have a reservation go early to secure your spot! I would highly recommend getting your pizza to go!

Stunning restaurant with friendly people and great food. We were lucky and got a convenient open bar spot, but I do recommend making a reservation since it gets busy. We had the fungi pizza and the pepperoni/peppers pizza. The mushroom pizza was better but both were solid. They have good beer on tap. Everything came out remarkably quickly for how busy the restaurant was. Overall a great experience!

Ordered a pepperoni and pepper pizza. Great outdoor space directly next to trail. Good service. Love the extra sauces for the pizza, the habanero is actually spicy, so good. Good option for quick inexpensive meal on the trail.

We have been coming to American Flatbread for many years, however this was our first time at the AF in Stowe, Vermont. It was a beautiful and newly renovated establishment with an attentive and friendly wait staff. We ordered three large pies, one medicine wheel, one power to the people ( Buffalo chicken pizza) and one make your own pizza with jalapenos, garlic and red onions. Flavor was great, the crust was just a little floppier than I would have expected for wood fired pizza. The Buffalo chicken pizza seemed to be missing the buffalo sauce and I was a little disappointed when I saw how sparse the toppings were on the create your own. These minor dings aren't enough to prevent us from coming back again. The Burlington AF raised the bar so our expectations were very high going into this visit. The beer selection was great as usual.

Beyond the best thing I've had in Stowe. The pizza is amazing and so is the service. I'd recommend this to anyone. I don't know how people don't post about this.

Large flatbread/pizza definitely good for two people. Lots of seating and space in this restaurant and I like that there are lots of options of pizza/flatbreads and drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. My boyfriend and I shared the pepperoni, peppers, and onions pizza and it was delicious.

Very good. Staff was punctual an task Had a wonderful time. Ambiance was very cool. Great vibe

Pros: This is a very sweet spot with a great vibe. Live music, spacious interior, roaring pizza oven, large patio. The salad was fresh and delicious, if a bit overdressed. Cons: On the busy July Thursday evening when we visited, our server wasn't particularly friendly and our single flatbread took about 40 minutes to arrive. We were surprised at the sparseness of the toppings- plenty of vegan cheese, but very few peppers and olives. So even though it was great to be able to get a vegan pizza, we left a bit hungry and frustrated after waiting so long for so little.

Maybe the best pizza we have ever had. Dare I say that, when we live in New York City? Went off the yelp ratings and they were not wrong...

Looking for our favorite and only Mexican restaurant in all of Stowe, we have come to realize that they have been replaced by American Flatbread, a 'sustainable' chain resto of Vermont with a good following it seems. Realizing it is actually FLATBREAD not PIZZA, but very close in concept and quite good. Thus far, we do approve. Yes, I know, I know, we're very picky New Yorkers... We do miss our Mexican spot Très Amigos, as do our Vermont family, but as they say "change is good". Hmmm... Could you add a few good tacos and sustainable ones at that? Let's see. All best wishes for 2023!!!

Much more than a trendy flatbread/tapas kind of place. Friendly staff and the oven baked flatbreads were really, really good. Ingredients are locally sourced and they have a nice selection of beers on tap.

Really large place with a decent patio to sit at. Their "flatbreads" are essentially slightly thin crust pizza. We ordered 2 large pizzas and 2 salads for 6 people and that was plenty of food. The Vermont sausage was really nice and flavorful and the veggie special was quite nice as well. The margarita is a bit non-traditional and power to the people was a bit flavorless. All the staff were quite friendly and nice.

We ordered takeout from this location during the Eclipse - it was tasty and a big hit!! We have a Flatbread in our town in Connecticut, and there were subtle differences which I thought I'd share here. The ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous, centered around the warm hearth. The pizzas have great sauce and cheese, and importantly the herbs are very prominent! If you have kids that object to green things, don't forget to ask for no herbs. The service was warm, welcoming, and friendly. My only qualm was with the family salad. It was quite expensive at $40, almost double the price of the family salad at my home branch, but with far far less food. Although tasty, I don't think I'd order the salad again given the price to food ratio.

We came on a Tuesday morning and there was lots of available seating inside and out! We brought our dog along and sat outside on the patio, where our server kindly brought the dog ice cold water! We ordered a large half and half and a small half and half to see the size difference - both can adequately feed 2 people, but if you have a larger appetite, definitely go for the large pizza. The New Vermont sausage was my favorite one, with lots of flavorful sausage to top it off, but all the other ones we tried (Revolution, Margherita, Pepperoni + Peppers) were equally as wonderful. The flatbread was cooked to perfection and I still talk about it to this day. I am so sad we don't have an American Flatbread near us in NYC, because I could truly eat this every day!

Easily best pizza in Vermont. Fire cooked and local cheese. It's very good. Get yourself some.

Visited from out of town and would definitely go back here. We ordered the Squashbuckler and I would reccomend this BIG TIME I went either 4 other people and this was our favorite pizza we ordered. The sauce was sweet and the red carmalized onions balanced it out perfectly it was great! We also ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and it was good, pretty average for a buffalo chicken pizza, not very spicy but would ordered again if I was there and just ask for a side of buffalo chicken. We also ordered the New Vermont and I did not have it but it was everyone else's second favorite pizza. For drinks everyone got water and I got a spiced cider and it was very good on a cold day and I would say more spiced than average but not in a bad way. Would definitely come back here. The photo included is of a leftover piece of squashbuckler, the 5 of us shared 3 large pizzas and have probably 6 pieces leftover so they are pretty big.

Finally, had decided to go. We are picky eaters but decided on building our own pizza. We aren't fans of thick crust so this was perfect. It was very tasty. Wasn't disappointed. The warm cider wasn't overly spicy and was just perfect for a cool day. Has been added to our must list.

This place is amazing! The flatbreads are to die for and the vibes are immaculate. Everyone who works here is so friendly and attentive!

Pizza was pretty good, and I would like to give the benefit of the doubt of our server. She was young so maybe she was learning, but she handed us the wrong tables' card twice, had to remind her of our drink order. The staff in general seemed to mosey along beside the people making the pizzas.

Great food and service, how can it not be, almost everyone is from Middlebury college who works there Pizza is great

We visited Stowe on a warm Indian Summer night in October and ordered, pizza, wine, and beer for my husband. We sat outside on the deck next to the warm, and cozy firepit, with overhead Edison lights and the stars shining brightly in the sky. It was heavenly! The bartender was a doll and the wait staff was excellent, kind, and friendly. The food was amazing! I highly recommend this Vermont gem!

The most enriching and fun place I could imagine. They have unbelievable amounts of variation in their toppings, quick service and a great playlist for ambiance.

Americans love pizza. And especially kids. Pizza was good. The mezcal cocktail was even better.

Hello everyone, we'll our vacation is slowly coming to a end one more day here before heading back to Arizona. For lunch today we stopped by the American Flatbread for a bite to eat the food was great as was the tossed green salad & vinaigrette dressing so good. The building and interior were really nice looking as well, it's not to often I speak negative about service but today was not even close to good had to ask for drinks and for refills several times so not sure what was happening there. I do recommend going and trying the pizza as we thought it was really good so hopefully this helps in trying to find a place to eat.

Amazing ambiance. Great food and music. Service was just right, attentive but not smothering. Best pizza we had all trip.

The service today by Casey was perfect! Amazing experience! All the employees were clean, not on their phones, and not vaping. Employees seemed happy to be there. Thank you Arron for coming to our table.

Maybe the best pizza I've ever had. We had the pepperoni and peppers and it was glorious. We ordered and picked up after a long day and agreed to go back after we leave d.

Pizza was alright, loved the wood-fire touch. The restaurant has plenty seating and gets loud quickly to where it is hard to talk to the person across from you. If you like to dip your pizza in ranch don't get it here because it has a sour taste at the end. Get side of marinara to dip it in instead, it is a bit soupy compared to the thick marinara i am used too. Thin filling pizza with good crust!

The gluten-free flatbread is amazing- not your typical Udi's gluten-free pizza crust. The cheese is very fresh and pies are baked to perfection. Service is attentive and quick. A favorite place to eat.

Popped in with the family after skiing all day and it was THE best decision. Service was quick, friendly and knowledgeable. Got to sit by the ovens and watch them cook the pizzas. Ordered a pepperoni and half/half of the specials and it was incredible. Our daughter never eats crust and she was stealing crust from my plate (I can only eat a little regardless of quality and deliciousness due to TMJ). Our family of 4 ate 2 large pizzas happily, then shared a brownie sundae. If you are in Stowe, this is a MUST STOP, you will not regret it.

Place had a cool vibe with plenty of patio space. Service was good but they got the tables and orders confused a couple of times. We got 3 large pizzas and 2 salads that was plenty for the 6 of us. Thin crust pizzas were good but nothing exceptional but the salads were really fresh and flavorful and the option to add goat cheese was a nice touch. Plenty of local beers and cider to choose from.
