Flatbreads in Farmington Valley

During a marathon day of shopping (Ms Foodie doing her part to help the economy), I stopped for lunch at Flatbreads in Farmington.

Flatbreads has the feel of a chain with the coziness of a local eatery. The rustic farmhouse vibe of the wood burning oven and the open kitchen add to the charm of the place although I didn't quite get the point of the large rock I wound up sitting next to...

There were two types of pizzas to chose from: with sauce and without. You can also build your own pizza so there is certainly is variety in the menu. My server touted the "organic" ingredients on the menu and while I appreciate organic farming, it doesn't necessarily sway my choice of eatery. Sorry, just being honest. But I digress...

After perusing the menu, I decided to go with one of the intriguing specials, a pizza with caramelized onions, butternut squash, roasted cranberries and goat cheese. I paired this with a blueberry wheat beer recommended by my server.

The flatbread had a nice combination of savory and sweet and I enjoyed the thin crust of the pizza. Unfortunately, I found the beer less satisfying. It basically tasted like a Budweiser with the blueberry essence. A small pizza was more than enough for a light lunch and I will certainly be back to try one of their salads. If you are looking for a casual friendly place with decent food at a reasonable price, Flatbreads if for you.
