Great small 4 lane candlepin bowling alley. Food and beer available.

My sister and I ate here last Thursday while visiting the town. We ordered the Vegan pizza. It was delicious! They also had a great selection of overhead music playing - we heard Rick James and The Meters. Groovin’ while we’re eating pizza. We loved the unique tomato-can lighting fixtures. We’ll be back for sure!

This is just a quick note to say that we truly appreciated the fellow at the front counter when we were there this July with our son.We came for the duck/claw machine -- our son loves rubber duckies. He's on the spectrum and can be a bit of a handful when he's excited; the guy at the counter (I didn't get his name, but he had dark hair and a beard, I think? I apologize; it's been a while) couldn't have been more welcoming, friendly, patient and just warm, all around.He made it clear that our son was welcome to explore the place and was calmly easygoing about our son's interest in going behind the counter and other areas that were not meant for customers.To sum up -- even though we didn't bowl or dine there, our experience with this place, as embodied by this dude at the front, was positive all around. If he's a representative of the business, it's a good one. (I meant to thank him in person before we left, but it was a bit hectic and I didn't get the chance. Thanks, man.)

We had so much fun. First it was so easy to make online reservations. Second the place was so clean. Pizza great. Wonderful service. Hint: ask for the gutter bumpers

The pizza is AMAZING. The owner and staff are very friendly. There was a singer the night we were there and he was good. Just an overall positive experience.

A small but cute bowling place. It's perfect for family events. And the kids like it. Had a great relaxing and happy time here.

We arrived on a packed Sunday in October. We weren’t expecting the crowds or the difficulty in finding a restaurant. Flatbread is just outside the main congested area by about a block or two. We were able to be seated by the owner after a relatively short wait. The owner and our waiter couldn’t have been nicer. In general, the service is quick and efficient. Unfortunately, our pizza order got lost somehow and took a very, very long time to arrive. The owner was aware of the situation (he seemed to be aware of everything that was happening in the restaurant) and he ended up comping us the meal. That was very much appreciated. We felt like he really cared whether or not we enjoyed his restaurant. As far as the pizza goes, it was delicious. It had a very thin flatbread crust and fresh toppings. Despite the delay in getting our order, we would return in a heartbeat. With good food and caring service, especially when things go wrong, this restaurant in Salem is one you should try.

Having lived in Salem less than a year, we hadn't been to flatbread before. We were seated immediately by the host and waitstaff came over to greet us within a minute, brought us waters and answered questions. "K" took our drink orders, refilled our water and put in our pizza order. When our food came, she came back to see how our drinks were, stopped by again to ask us about our pizza, refilled our water again (we drink a lot of water), and asked us about refills on our drinks. Very engaging and accommodating, in a very sincere manner. Honestly, she should teach a class on how to treat a customer. Needless to say, we will return.

First time trying here. Above and beyond expectations. One of the best pizzas we have ever had. Hawain pizza with pulled pork and bacon. Absolutely perfect. Can't wait to go again and try something else. Dessert menu looks pretty amazing too.

As of June 2022, this place has reopened under new management. The pizza is fantastic, especially the crust. There's various options for crusts, sauces, and cheese. Plus, you can do a build-your-own. They're doing it right now. I live in Salem and this is now my go-to place for pizza

The Maine Potato and Chive pizza is so good!

The flatbread pizza place adjacent had a soft grand opening today. I've never been to a soft grand opening. I feel so SPECIAL. Ambience? A+. Big solid furniture. Comfy chairs. Plenty of room between tables. A gorgeous bar area, separate from the main dining area, so it's also great for families. High ceilings make the place seem even bigger. Our server? AMAZING. The food? Flatbread pizzas made to order of entirely fresh ingredients. Yummy with a capital YUM. And then if you head over to the bowling area? It's so quiet, you can hear a pin drop!

No answer or hours message on the phone. Called several times. Place was closed so our guests went somewhere else in the rain.
