Flatbread Company

Cannot wait to go back to this place! AMAZING pizza...I have searched high and low to find a pizza better than Vinnie Van Go Go in Savannah. I have found it! My sister, who hates pizza, loved it too. Delicious, maple sausage was amazing. Very generous with toppings. Salad and dressing so fresh and tasty...service outstanding thanks to Lillie. Beautiful location.

⸻ Flatbread Co. in Portland, Maine is an amazing spot! The environment is super welcoming, with great vibes all around. The food is absolutely delicious!!! the strawberry salad was a standout, super fresh and tasty, and their pizzas are just as impressive, loaded with fresh ingredients and awesome flavors. The Arnold Palmer is a must too, probably made with fresh lemons because it tasted so real. The staff has wonderful energy; the hosts were especially friendly and made us feel very welcomed. The only downside was the table service, it was pretty slow, we had to ask for water refills, and dirty plates lingered a bit. But other than that, everyone was kind and helpful. Overall, this place is a must if you’re in the area. Definitely will go back!!!

Flatbread Company makes some seriously delicious pizza, woodfired and packed with flavor. You can really taste the difference. The place has a great vibe too, with cozy indoor seating and awesome views from the deck. That said, be ready to wait. We had a 40-minute wait just to get a table for two, and then another 15–20 minutes before the food came out. It’s super busy, so don’t expect a lot of attention from the servers, you might only see them once or twice during your visit. Still, the food and atmosphere make it worth it. Just go in knowing it’s more of a relaxed, hang out spot than a quick dinner stop.

Kara our server was amazing! This was our first time dining here. The goat cheese and dressing that comes on the salad, they need to bottle it up and sell it. The pizza did not disappoint either. I highly recommend dining here. The Nashville Food Critic

Flatbread Pizza Co will always hold a special place in my heart. My sister and I use to travel to Maine once a year and we would ALWAYS visit this restaurant. It has the best pizza, laid back atmosphere, and overall great quality. One of our favorite desserts has banana bread with vanilla ice cream. When I miss Maine, I make this dessert at home.

A really cool, fun place to eat on the Portland waterfront. The pizza was delicious, the beer was cold, and the service was friendly and attentive. My only gripe is that I wish they had more selection of pizzas although there is a manual option.

Great location and very friendly staff! Flatbread was pretty good just a little chewy. We got takeout so probably would have been 10/10 if eating in!

Favorite place for dinner in downtown Portland! The food is tasty and the service is top notch. The view is amazing and definitely makes this a Portland staple.

This is a way over due review. My family and I have been to this location many, many times, even back in the day when you could walk in without a reservation. My husband and I love pizza so we thought this would be the perfect place to have our night before wedding party. It was absolutely perfect for us! I called and made a reservation for 25 people (the max) and it was taken care of no problem. I forgot about some people (oops) and had to add 4 more to our party and they were able to do that. We had a lot of family coming in from out of state who also wanted to celebrate with us so they called asking if they could reserve a table near us for a party of 8. I felt so bad we were making trouble but everyone there was so accommodating. They sat us at two long tables by the windows and pulled up a table close for the rest of my last minute family. We ordered salads and pizza and everything we ate was delicious. Everyone in our party enjoyed themselves throughly. The drinks were great as well as the service. It was the perfect night. Everyone at Flatbread was amazing.

I have been here a couple of times for work dinners and each time did not disappoint. Staff super friendly and fast. It's a casual dining experience. They are able to accommodate larger parties, both times I was with a group between 5-10. Reservations absolutely recommended if you have a group over 6 people. Call ahead! It can be very loud, with the open area and big groups, such as ours on the times we went, and the occasional band they might be playing. The food was great. The pizza crust was perfect, not to thick, not to thin, wasn't burnt. The toppings were balanced and plentiful. I loved everything we ordered to share at our table. The service was ok. We had to track someone down to help get our check, however, the drinks/food service was perfect. Parking can be a challenge with availability in nearby pay-for-parking lots, luckily I had a ride :)

In summer it is HAPPENING Chaotic even. This is a upscale pizza place that has great food. Expensive prices that are on par for old port. Pizza is really good, thin crispy style (see name). Staff is busy, work hard and do great. Seems like they can never hire enough. Wouldn't recommend getting pizza to go or in box. It is so thin by the time you eat it even shortly after, it will be dry and cold. Right near the waterfront.

Waterfront views, the best pizza in Maine (flatbread lovers unite; it's all about the ingredients, not the crust; flavor that's out of this world), booth seating, a casual eatery, perfect for groups. The Community Flatbread (mushroom, caramelized onions) and Jay's Heart (a classic cheese pizza, but 10x better) are unbeatable. Pro tip: try their Potato Salad (a salad with potatoes), their Vodka Lemonade, and ask for a side of house made Ranch with your pizza.

Visited Flatbread in April with my family of four while vacationing in the area. We went in for an early Saturday dinner and it was busy! Had to wait a bit for a table but it was quick and we were sat at a nice table facing the water. The restaurant is large and seating was comfortable. Our waiter provided great service. We enjoyed our pizzas getting a variety of pies. The pizza is thin crust and they have a variety of specialty pies as well. I would highly recommend Flatbread for a family meal if you are in Portland. Pizza did not disappoint!

Flatbread is a go to in Portland! If you have a big group, they have lots of seating and lots of tables. They are right on the water with an amazing view out their windows. They have a deck and a bar as well. Their pizza is amazing! All kinds of options and even options if you are vegan or gluten free. The drinks are also amazing. A must try if you are in the area!

Delicious pizza spot right on the waterfront! Ordering flatbread togo was convenient on the online system. The pizza was done in the allotted time. The crust was my favorite. It was thin and chewy. Each pizza had one bolt flavor that tasted good but I felt like the toppings were a bit underwhelming. I felt myself wanting to only eat the crusts which felt like they were the star of the show.

I don't know that Flatbread is a destination spot in Portland (especially considering they're technically a chain with locations in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Hawaii as of writing this), but - ironically - I do think it's a place for locals. Why? Because it's welcoming regardless of season, it's spacious, the food is consistent, it's good for groups, there are options for most dietary restrictions, it's FOR US (probably for you too, tourist, but... it genuinely is community-centric - you'll see that in the children's artwork and the NPO's they support monthly). In the summer it's one of THE BEST patios. Located outside on the working waterfront, the views are about as Portland as it gets (good people watching too)! Yes, it's still communal picnic table seating, but it seems like (probably because of the pandemic) they are packing people in a little less tightly. It's nice to (literally) have some elbow room out here again. In the winter it's one of THE BEST restaurants to tuck away inside at. The enormous "center piece" hearth where they cook emits so much (metaphorical) warmth and light, and creates such a cozy, atmosphere. Seating inside is varied with high tops, low tops, and booths. DRINK: the fresh squeezed lemonade with maple syrup is amazing, but don't miss out on their house made sweet tea either! EAT: for me, it's all about the Vegan flatbread with their own organic wood-fired tomato sauce, caramelized onions, olives, and plant-based cheese. I have them swap out the mushrooms for the sun-dried tomatoes, I get a side of their ginger-tamari dressing to dunk my crust in... it's perfection. Add on top of that one of their award winning salads and the strawberry-rhubarb crisp (no ice cream)? This is a good date night out for under $100. They get suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper busy at all times throughout the year, so I strongly encourage you to show up early or Join The Waitlist here on Yelp (love, love, love that they have this as an option).

Vibes, views & pizza is a win for me! Found this place via Yelp community... and it did not disappoint. Parking is very get in where you fit in. So mostly street parking (free on Sunday) or a paid parking lot and then walk is the way to go to get to this place. Staff was chill and accommodating for a service animal we had with us. Server was helpful with menu guidance and offered cost efficient choices for our group of 7. I would have loved to know more about the history of the place and the story of the flatbread but the taste of it all did tell a story for sure. I hope I return to Portland soon and will definitely be coming back. Happy Yelping!

The food here was so good. We were seated quickly, had excellent service, good draft menu of local beers, and a menu where everything looked great. The 12" small pizza is definitely enough for one person and the menu says a 16" usually feeds two people. Me and my wife each got a 12" and finished them both. The chicken bacon ranch was excellent. The crust is so thin and crispy and you can watch them be put into the brick oven pizza across the dining room. Can't recommend enough, especially if you're in the Old Port area!

An hour since we were seated, 47 minutes since we ordered two pizzas.. and we're sitting in front of the oven. Still no pizza. Hope it's tasty if it ever shows up!

Great food! We got a salad and two large pizzas for our group of five, which was perfect and very filling. The service was fast and friendly, and the place had a cool vibe.

Phenomenal spot! Great service, greeted us with smiles and even some jokes. The pizza was out of this world for a great price, and located on the waterfront. Looking for an affordable yet great spot? This is it!

Okay, if you are in Portland, please do not miss this spot!! I can't say enough good things. For one, it is right by the water. The interior is big, clean, and spread out. And they also offer outdoor seating; May is still a bit chilly and windy but I can imagine this is a hit in summer. When I walked in at 4 pm on a Monday, I was immediately greeted and helped. I was alone, but the waitress still offered me a table instead of just making me sit at the bar, which I truly appreciated, especially since it was a water view table!! Now, the main event, the food and drinks. My margarita was $13 but very large in size and so, so fresh. They had their own house made margarita mix and did not skimp on the tequila. I also ordered the small Forager flatbread and cannot even tell you how delicious it was. For $17.25, the fresh ingredients and size made this well worth it. I walked away with leftovers and they brought me a nice size box. Overall, I highly recommend this especially for those looking for a break from seafood near the port.

Food was amazing but it was very slow. They messed up our order which was annoying but over all the experience was great

Salad was delicious as was the pepperoni pizza with sausage. Beers were ice cold too!

Wish I clicked better pics! The flatbreads were delicious I'm not at all a cheese and pizza person but still enjoyed both the flavours- pesto margharita and casco bay special. No overdose of heavy toppings is what I love. Highly recommend this place!!

Got it to-go... can't wait to go back and sit on the water. Flatbreads were super yummy!

Service was bad and didn't get food for 1 and a half hours. Took forever and other people had came and left before we got our food

Stopped for dinner based on Yelp reviews. This place has great energy and great pizza. Sat at the bar which is first come first serve to avoid the wait. Friendly bartenders with a good selection of local beer, cider, and seltzers. Started with their salad which was fresh and delicious with a very light vinaigrette. The pizza was so thin and crust had the perfect chew. Staff was bustling around and music playing added to a high energy atmosphere. Great people watching. Indoor and outdoor seating available as well as a window bar for people waiting to be seated. Enjoyed watching the staff who were cooking the pizzas in the ovens.

We chose this spot because it was in a cool waterfront location, it had a huge menu WITH gluten free options for my celiac friend (hard to find at pizza places), and they had a lot of Maine local adult bevvies. I got a pizza that had...well, I'll add a photo of the menu description. It was freaking amazing and nothing that I usually see at ANY pizza place. Go look at the menu. I'm glad we looked before we went because it would have been impossible to choose amidst the smells and sights of all the pies going by. The salads were of epic portions size as well. We loved that we could join the waitlist online and just stay in our cozy rental until then. It was pretty chilly that evening and I would not have enjoyed waiting outside for very long. The indoor area was rather full. Another place good for larger groups or smaller gatherings. And if you can't find something on the menu you're excited about, then that is definitely a YOU problem!

Delicious every time. Enjoy outdoor seating with beautiful view of the ocean! If you order pickup the parking lot across the street offers a 15min grace window so you don't have to pay for parking to grab your pizza

Pizza is great, vibe is casual and warm, service is good. But, you know what's really really stellar? Their hot lemonade. I highly recommend giving it a try. I know it sounds odd, but it's delicious and comforting.

Yummy pizzas and salad! The crust was superb! The vibe was lively and a nice view of the marina. Service was smooth and quick.

Flatbread is the absolute go-to in our eyes if you're hungry in Portland and evening thinking about debating on what to eat. Take advantage of Yelp's webpage in which you can put yourself on the waitlist ahead of time and in real-time stay up-to-date on how long you'll be waiting for a table (sometimes there is an hour+ wait). Once you sit and start getting served -- practice some patience because the restaurant is typically quite busy and they cook pizzas out of one (large) wood-fired oven. Enjoy the ambiance (it's loud and often chaotic) but there's a certain rustic beauty to the entire production. Drink beer, celebrate, and bask in the warmth form the oven's fire because you're going to feast once served. Pro Tip: ask for additional sides/toppings... our favorites for pizza are their local-made hotsauce, their salad dress, parm cheese and garlic oil (but there are other hidden secrets that your server may recommend).

This place is amazing!! I found it while researching restaurants months before our vacation. It looked awesome online (but we all know how that can go), so I knew I wanted to make sure I tried it while we were there. Flatbread company did not disappoint. Their employees were really friendly and on top of things. The view and the atmosphere on the patio was 1. Beautiful, and 2. Relaxed. The food was soooo delicious!!! My family of three devoured the pizza and left pleasantly happy. It's been over a week now, and I still can't stop thinking about it!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out to Maine again, but if I do.... I will be eating here for sure, maybe twice. It was one of the best places I had to eat in Maine.

Flatbread Company in Portland, Maine, is one of my all-time favorite pizza spots. As someone who is both vegan and gluten-free, it can be hard to find great options, but this place nails it. Their vegan pizza is easily the best I've had in the area, and I truly appreciate the care they take before putting it in the brick oven to avoid any cross-contamination. Their salads are another highlight--the house-made dressing is absolutely delicious. I've often wished I could get the recipe! I've ordered their large salads for family gatherings, and they're always a hit--perfect for sharing with a big group. I've been going to Flatbread since I was a kid. I still remember being handed a ball of pizza dough to play with while waiting for our food--a thoughtful little detail that made the experience so memorable. Sitting outside with a view of the harbor is lovely, though I'd recommend avoiding it on windy days. One standout memory: years ago, I ordered pizzas for a high school event, and not only were they extremely helpful and kind--they ended up giving it to us at no charge. That level of generosity and community spirit really left an impression on me. Overall, Flatbread in Portland is a top-tier experience--consistently great food, kind staff, and a beautiful location. The only downside is that their Portsmouth, NH location tends to get very busy and can be hard to get a table. But Portland? Absolutely worth the visit every time.

I haven't eaten this much pizza in my life lol. The staff were kind and the ambiance was very welcoming :). The food was delicious and I would definitely go back! We came here on vacation and we are glad we chose here.

We thought that there was going to be a super long wait. The host kindly greeted us and said that it would be an hour wait to get a table, but it turned out to be only 30, which was great. Our server was great and very attentive. We got a salad to start, and it tasted fresh and was very flavorful. The pizza we got was hot and fresh. We got the pepperoni and mushroom and harvest pizzas, and they were amazing! And lastly, for dessert, we got the brownie sundae. It was awesome! 5 stars for a great experience! I would definitely recommend for everyone who loves great pizza.

Family is in town and this means plans can be unpredictable but often involve a trip to Portland with a drop-in at Flatbread Co which is where we headed recently. Well-known to locals and a hot spot for tourists, this low key and friendly spot offers authentic wood fire oven-baked flatbreads and nice salad starters with several vegan options. The maple-sweetened lemonade is a must try although something was missing this time (maybe less maple syrup?) but still refreshing. If there's room for dessert, I happen to be one of the few people I know (although knowing oneself can be tricky but that's not for this Yelp review) that actually like rhubarb and they surprisingly offer a rhubarb crisp. I haven't tried it so far because everyone loves the brownie sundae and there's usually only room for sharing by the end of the meal, but maybe next time. Tip: Usually very busy and quoted wait times can be up to an hour, however they actually try and seat you pretty quickly if you manage to stay nearby. Not sure when but hope to be back soon, it's now become an unspoken summer tradition that always brings simple joys.

Loved my dinner here a couple weeks ago! We ordered the street taco pizza (a seasonal special, I guess). It was delicious and more than enough food for the two of us. I'm always impressed with how large the waterfront restaurants are on Commercial St. Just as much streetside real estate as anywhere else, but large dining rooms and outside space. Flatbread is no exception. It's also really cool to see the chefs at work in the *very* open kitchen. If there's one thing I didn't really like, it's the odd, haphazard way they cut our pizza into oblong shapes. Thought that was pretty weird.

On our first night in Portland, we wandered around downtown, looking at the plethora of restaurants feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'd seen this one in Yelp, so when we stumbled across it, it doesn't stand out; we decided this was the place. We were thinking, hmm pizza, which is not very exciting for our first meal in this city, but we were hungry. It was delicious!!! The ambiance is beautiful as it is right on the water! The service was impeccable, the prices were excellent, and the food was phenomenal! If there weren't so many different places to choose from here, we would go back.

Definitely was surprised by this place. Got the Special Veggie Flatbread for the day - Artichoke Cream Cheese base + fresh mozzarella + bell peppers + basil I think? Such a good pizza. Crust was fresh and perfectly cooked and the right thickness too. Definitely would order again. Only thing needed was a bit of crushed chili flakes. So good. Build your own salad (with greens/carrot/celery/seaweed + pineapple + red onion + chicken) was lovely. Really really big salad with a lot of greens which I actually really appreciate. Chicken was actually quite hot as if it was just cooked fresh and shredded

The outdoor seating is shared picnic tables, under shade. They allow dogs and offer water bowls. The pizza was a tad salty but what can you do. We love the fact that the pizzas are from a an oven and not those fast 7 minute pizza makers. The quality cheese they use is what made the pizza. Try some local beers that they serve, the blueberry has so much flavor.

Really enjoyed this place. Firstly, the location is great - especially in the summer when you can sit outside on the deck overlooking the wharf. The pizza is delicious and I love the size of the personal pies (just enough for one hungry person or two peckish friends). They are very artisan style and the veggies and cheese are fresh. My friend once saw Steve Carell here and she never fails to remind me of it lol. The service is also incredibly friendly and everyone has a really laidback vibe. I have seen all sorts of tourists throw all sorts of tantrums here but none I have felt were caused or escalated by the servers.

Review for Saturday 12/21 pre polar express and waits were forever. Thankfully tried flatbread and although the wait was long for a table we were able to sit at the bar right away. I had a hangry 9 year old in tow and the bartender with the mustache (I wish I remembered his name) somehow was able to get my son to smile. We ordered dessert first a cheese pizza and an amazing lemonade that he pretended was a beer. You saved our night!

I love everything about Flatbread Company. Walking in they have a beautiful, long bar directly in front of you. They offer both indoor and water front outdoor seating. We sat inside, and got to watch them make their hand toss flatbread, then cooking it in one of their two wood burning pizza ovens. For lunch we ordered a small Jays Heart with bacon.(Love the name) It was perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious.They also have a great selection of salads. The staff was friendly, and service was great.

Was in Portland to see a friend from hugh school - first time in Portland! Super cool town, and killer restaurant! The flatbread pizza was amazing and the local brews were killer. Photos below, highly recommend Flatbread Company!!

A great spot for groups, drinks, pizza and nice views during your trip to Portland. They have a standard menu of pizza, salads, appetizers, gluten free options, and drinks. Read: a certain crowd pleaser with something for everyone. Prices are fairly standard and the true distinguisher here is their use of Yelp waitlist. It is SO easy to throw your name on the list, go about your business, then head to the restaurant when your table is called - typically sooner than expected. We went with one large and two small flatbreads alongside a yummy goat cheese salad, and it was plenty for our hungry table of four. Service was swift and drinks were all good, save their take on an "espresso martini" which you can safely skip. Thanks for the great experience! Will be back again next time I am in Portland.

Pizza was outstanding and I enjoyed the local soda but I can't remember the name of it. Quality beers as well.

Joined the online waitlist on a Friday night and was seated outside with our group of 5 within 15 minutes. Was honestly blown away by everything we got. Highly recommend starting off with the salad with the addition of some goat cheese on the side. The pizzas we got were all fantastic, my favorite was probably the chicken bacon ranch. And the brownie sundae at the end we had for dessert was fantastic. No complaints about the food, and the view from the outdoor seating area was beautiful, and the indoor decor was also super cool. Seemed like a great spot for any size group, with a relatively casual vibe. Will absolutely be back next time I'm in the area!

Food is always good. Ambiance is good too. It's relaxed and good for the family. Sometimes it's too popular and the wait is quite long.

It's a cute place where you can see where all the pizzas are cooked, open concept with the pizza oven. There was seating inside and outside on the water. The waitress was good and we were seated quickly. Our food was very good! We got the mopsys Kalua pie with pork and chicken. Great crust and flavor combination for the toppings. I would definitely come back here

Absolute must try in Portland! We got a table by the window with a lookout on the pier. Waiter had great suggestions for local beer. We ordered a salad and the community flatbread. The onions and mushrooms added such wonderful flavor to the crispy yet soft bread. The salad was HUGE with light vinaigrette dressing and absolutely fresh sweet leaf lettuce. Still dreaming about the pizza to this day!

First time trying this place and it was absolutely delicious! If your wanting something other than seafood check out this pizza place! The smells are so inviting! And the staff is all very friendly! I wish I could remember our servers name as she was absolutely wonderful! There was a bit of a wait so we grabbed some espresso martinis were delicious, you can order drinks from the outside bar window while waiting for your table. We loved how they had a dog friendly patio. The inside was fairly large as well! The view outside was the ferries and boats coming in and out whcih was fun to watch. To eat we go the Chinese salad which was very different and I loved it! We shared a pizza I can't remember which one but it tasted absolutely delicious would most definitely come back!

Don't get it to go.... You'll miss the whole experience they create inside! It screams local, from the menu artwork to the ingredients on the pizza. They have thought of every detail throughout. Pro Tip: ask for a seat next to the Wood-Fired pizza ovens so you can watch the magic happen! The staff were impressive all around and watching the pizza makers was truly a treat! Their kitchen is an open format, which lets you see the process from start to finish. We started with the "Our Organic Salad". The salad dressing was a ginger tamari vinaigrette , which was so good we saved some extra to dip our crust into. For pizza, we had the Mopsy's Kalua Pie (1/2 chicken, 1/2 pork). The sauce is named after a chef in their Maui location. We preferred the pork over the chicken, but both were delicious. The combination of the crisp crust and sweet pineapples really brought everything together. We had a few refreshing cocktails to start and ended with their Blueberry Crisp (It's seasonal, but don't worry, they have an apple crisp otherwise). Its come straight out of the oven hot and topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. We had a wonderful dining experience! I know Maine is known for lobster, but there is something special about this pizza spot.

Found this place and was instantly hungry! While it poured outside many people got hungry, but I was a party of 1 and found a seat at the bar. I built my own flatbread. It was delicious! Bar staff was very friendly and service expeditious. The ambiance was part factory/wearhouse, part bar, part rustic restaurant. The industrial look continued throughout the restaurant even into the bathrooms. Great place, if you can get seating.

Thin crust, organic toppings, light sauce, great vibe! Very flavorful. The bar is a perfect height and the seats are comfy.

We visited Portland for a quick one night trip and were lucky to get seated here without a reservation on a busy Sat night. Not only was the food amazing but they're truly a dog friendly place. We each got an individual house salad and the dressing was perfect- light but delicious. We did a half and half large pizza and it was so good, we didn't have leftovers. Don't forget to ask for sides of ranch dressing. The rum punch was yummy and the Downeast cider was lovely on draft. Our waiter went out of his way to get us the blueberry crisp to go! Highly recommend and we'll definitely be back!
