New Sacco's / Flatbread first impressions

[bobobb.livejournal.com]

Went to opening night at Sacco's, which now has a huge bar and hippie pizza place welded onto it (with a pizza called 'Coevolution'? 'Peace and Love' written on the walls? The girls bathroom has a painted poster promoting CSAs -- sort of different from the old digs!)

I would say, overall, really good pizza, good beer, and it's fun to drink and bowl without having to bring a flask. I was totally confused by their "pay by the string" (per person / per game) method of charging for the lanes. But otherwise, it was a totally good time.

Anyone else gone?

Pay by the string is the usual method for "real" bowling alleys (i.e. whose main purpose is bowling for individuals/leagues, rather than "disco/light show party bowling") around here. And it was how I always paid for it at the old Sacco's.

And yay! b/c those names & decor tell me that this is a chain of the original Vermont flatbread pizza company, which I love!

Not quite -- the Vermont place is American Flatbread, while this one is Flatbread Company, a former licensee that severed ties with American Flatbread by mutual agreement.

Both are now small chains, but (so far at least) operating in separate territories.
