They were very knowledgeable about gluten free protocols and what was available. Gluten free Pizzas are cooked in the same wood fired oven, however they change gloves and take other protocols but getting fresh cheese and sauce. My sensitive celiac did not have any reactions. Both of my kids said it was some of the best gluten free pizza they have had.
I would give this place zero stars if I could. Went with my family of 4 and I was able to eat salad only- owners were rude and told me “this is not the place for you” as a celiac. They prepare gf pizza where all the flour is and won’t wash their hands. They said they would put it on some thing in the oven, but they couldn’t guarantee anything would be clean. Staff was not knowledgeable and unhelpful. One of my worst experiences as a celiac!! Don’t go there.
Wish we could give it Zero stars because of their attitude and lack of caring. We ordered the gluten free pizza, as we have in other wood fired pizza place’s however when it came they told us it was cooked on the same stone as all the other pizzas and covered with flour. Ok. We asked would they make a new one cooked in a pan? No they would not. They said their people don’t wash hands between pizzas and wouldn’t make an exception. Had a starving son so we just up and left and went to Shaw’s to buy food. Wife stayed since we were with other people.

Was told by the wait staff that they had allergy safe options and could make us a pizza with fresh ingredients. Waitress came back after we had been here 45 minutes to tell us the guy who preps the regular pizzas (who is covered with flour) has been sticking his hands into the cooler with the allergy ingredients.
The nicest thing I can say about tonight is that they comped my GF cider. Now I have a starving celiac child and have to search for another safe option. I cannot say enough about the lack of knowledge of the kitchen staff. I will never return and never recommend this place for celiacs.
Stop their every time we go to Vermont. I have never gotten sick from the pizza and I have celiac disease. They cook the pizza on a separate pan to avoid cross contamination. Just verify that you are sensitive. Overall, great experiences.
Now, they will prepare the pizza in a back kitchen. Obviously the environment isn't completely gluten free as flour is in the air, but Flatbread does everything they can to avoid cross contamination.
Flatbread dough made by West Meadow Farm Bakery. They are very good. However, workers at American Flatbread don't always take enough measures to keep them free of cross contamination.
The original American flatbread at larou farm. Amazing ambience, knowledgeable staff and dedicated gf pizzas in separate kitchen.

Great GF pizza and salads! They have a fun mini arcade/game area while you wait
I thought they were very careful with my order. They explained the risk of cross contamination and what they would do to mitigate it, ie cooking my order in a foil package. I could see the preparation and cooking area and felt completely safe. One of the best gluten free pizza bases I’ve ever had.
Great pizza! Delicious combinations of local farm ingredients, including house made sausage. They follow very specific precautions and steps to ensure that gf pizza is safe for celiacs. This includes servers changing gloves, preparing toppings in a separate space in the kitchen and wrapping the pizza with foil before baking in the large wood fired oven.
I’ve eaten at flatbread many times. I really have to be extra careful to tell them to cook my flatbread on a separate pan. It can still go in the woodfired oven. It just has to be on a separate pan. And then I need to remind them to use a separate pizza cutter… If I just say gluten-free and don’t specify these things, it’s not good. The last time I ate there I ordered takeout in a hurry and I forgot to say to take special caution and I got severely glutened.
Great flatbreads and gluten free brownie! My celiac daughter and our whole family enjoyed it very much
