ABOUT THE COMPANY

On 12.12.12 we began a journey together with the community of Hudson, Massachusetts. An idea to open a small flatbread shop evolved into something we could only dream about. From a core group of individuals we've grown to a family that extends throughout the Metrowest region.  

Our story is about a community's hope to do something special and to bring attention back to the things that matter most- like sitting around a fire, with warm friends, cold beers and great flatbread!
