About Our Caterer, Flatbread Co.

The history of Flatbread goes back at least 5000 years when men and women first began “baking” in enclosed earthen mounds. The simple leap from an open fire to a more controlled heating process expanded the culinary possibilities for all mankind. We rolled into the picture in 1998, going back, in order to move forward. Since then, the Flatbread Company has been introducing people to the magic of earth and fire, and how that combination can produce incredible tasting pizza. Beginning in Amesbury, Massachusetts in the summer of 1998, our mission of providing both guests and team members a place to “renew their spirit”, has never wavered. The story of Flatbread is a story of the people that work here and the guests that support it.

Real food, served by real people, in a real environment. Back in 1998, there were hardly any distributors of organic food and the locally produced food were in their infancy, just like us.

So the story of Flatbread is also intertwined with the local farms and local producers, like Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury, MA, Valley View Farm (goat cheese) in Topsfield, MA, George’s Hemlock Hollow Farm (maple syrup) in Kensington, NH, Barbara’s Brownies from Amesbury, MA (now Hampton, NH)…

Together they produced and we prepared, served, and most importantly, the local community supported us. This rather simple sounding partnership between Flatbread, organic food, local farms, local producers, and the local community, has been successfully transplanted to our other hearths.

Each time we build our ovens in new locations, it is our mission to become an integral part of the fabric of that community through our sustained actions. We thank you for your part in our partnership and our history.

Portsmouth, New Hampshire… When Montgomery Ward moved their catalog showroom to the malls in Newington in 1973, the Portsmouth Beauty School took over and sealed up the floor with carpet and the tin ceiling with drop ceiling. Years later, the Nardello Family brought Flatbread Company in and moved upstairs. We uncovered and restored the tin ceilings, wooden floors, and some of our seasoned citizens can still describe where the counter was where they ordered their first electric appliances. Our hearths only bake with fire and we thank the Portsmouth community for their unwavering support of what we do.
