I think his name was Carlos - the guy that cooks 200+ pizzas a night front and center.
Great conversation and he knows how to move it around the room and hold back too.
The pizza? Lol, it's great. Place varies in terms of vibe depending on weather.

Highly reccomend if you are in the area! A quintessential Vermont dining experience. You can walk through the garden where they grow many of the ingredients in the pizza. Delicious wood fired thin crust pizzas with local seasonal toppings. Bucolic farmhouse style setting with views of the mountains and a lively atmosphere. Loved !!!!

Me and a family of 6 from NJ/NY area came in and didn’t expect high quality pizza, but boy let me tell ya, top notch delicious hand baked pizza! So good, we had to order more to go! The staff and the waiter are super friendly and sweet and so helpful. We’re new to the area and they were helpful to recommend other places in the area of what we can try and activities to do. The owner is like a father very warm welcoming, always a smile on his face, very affable. Felt like home.

Amazing pizza. We went early on a Thirsday (5pm) and we were seated right away. We watched them bake the pizza in the wood oven. A bit warm inside, but fun to watch. The pizza was outstanding. 5 people, we ordered 1 small and 1 regular size and it was just enough. Probably could have ordered 2 regular sized....but we wouldn't have had room on the table 😁

Absolutely mind blowing pizza with an incredibly unique setting!
I’ve been coming to American Flatbread for almost 40 years now, and every time I return, it’s like stepping into a pocket of peaceful magic where the world slows down and everything just… feels right. Nestled in the green heart of Waitsfield, this place is more than a restaurant—it’s a ritual.
The energy here is grounded and glowing, from the giant clay hearth oven that radiates warmth and love, to the open fields where kids run barefoot under the mountain sky. The barn hums with life—laughter, good vibes, and the scent of wood smoke mingling with fresh basil and melting cheese. You can taste the care in every flatbread, each one a canvas of local ingredients from farmers who know the land and love what they grow.
The food? Soulful and straight from the land. The Evolution Salad bowls packed with greens so fresh you’d swear they were picked moments ago. The Revolution and Punctuated Equilibrium are more than menu items—they’re philosophies, slices of something deeper.
Don’t leave without getting the brownie sundae. It’s a masterpiece, topped with hot fudge and scoops of ice cream that swirl together like yin and yang. It’s peace, love, and chocolate.
American Flatbread isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to feel grounded, grateful, and full.
And yeah, there’s usually a wait. We get there early, post up by the bonfire, and sip on some of the best local brews Vermont has to offer, under a sky that always seems to be putting on a show. Let the mountain air work its magic.
This place has soul. It feeds more than your stomach—it fills your spirit. After three and a half decades of going, I can say with love and certainty: American Flatbread isn’t just a meal. It’s home.

$34 for a pizza is a little steep, but delicious! No straws were odd with our drinks. Paper straws aren’t bad for the environment!
Just not what it used to be. Hostess was so rude it was hard to imagine. When asked about the status of our table, she said “by having this conversation with me you are delaying your table”. Pizza also down a couple pegs. Sad to see..
Great food, great staff, great vibes!

Amazing wood fired pizza, farm fresh salads, highly recommend.
