Flats Pizza

I've been hearing alot about Flats lately, both from people in the real world and people online- so I thought i'd take a trip there and provide a formal review for Worcesterite.

It was hard getting there. Not hard in the since that I couldn't find it, but hard because they are only open three days a week (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) and no one informed me of this. I inquired about these odd hours, and they told me they will be opening up more days when they get more help, so no worries there. It was also hard finding parking... I had to park across the street, straddling a curb and hoping the neighborhood kids wouldn't hit my car with their ball (they didn't).

Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed it was fairly empty. By this, I mean, I was the only one there. I took a seat and ordered the following-
Breaded Mozzarella
A large Red sauce pizza with Garlic, gorgonzola, and buffalo mozzerella.
While waiting for my pizza, there was free onion and Romano foccacia with pesto to try.... it was delicious, and it was wheat (I hate wheat bread!).

When the mozzarella arrived, it was HUGE. I kid you not, this must have been a 2-3 inch thick WHEEL of mozzarella cheese... breaded and laid on a plate covered in red sauce and pesto- with wheat Italian bread encircling it. It was gone fast.

Then, our pizza came. Also humongous. Each slice had 3-4 cloves of roasted, buttery garlic and big hunks of Gorgonzola. It was delicious. I found out about halfway through, that the pizza tastes so much better with their yummy pesto on it, so i'll be ordering the green sauce next time.


I highly recommend you go give Flats a try!

Re: Flats Pizza

I more than agree you you flats is worth a try....great pizza. The parking is fine, with plenty on both Maywood and Park....a 30 second walk isnt all that bad. Have the hours changed? I was there not long ago on a Tues night and they were open, and Ive also been on a few Wed nights. Their hours have been Tues-Sat, open at 5.

This is the best place ever - and the two guys I met, Paul the owner and Eric working the front - were two of the nicest guys around. We want them to cater our wedding!!

Re: Flats Pizza

If you read the website carefully you'll realize that it just says that they serve dinner "late night" on Thursday, Fri, Sat. Someone should make them aware of the confusion. I'm sure that its costing them business

Will they cater to picky vegans? YES THEY WILL. Two thumbs up from me.
