Reviews of Sacco's Bowl Haven (Bowling Alley)

Aparna Nigam

Super fun times! Way better than regular bowling :D Also, cool staff and love Flatbreads. Delicious pizza and a great draft selection.

Melissa Smith

Fabulous experience. The bowling was a blast and the flat bread pizzas were phenomenal. We reserved three lanes for a group event and every one of our team members raved about the fun, food, and service. Would highly recommend. We had a great time.

eric Gringo

Great food and nice folks. Enjoy watching the pizzas made right in front of you.

Perihan Ersoy

Nice food and atmosphere

Maddie Conway

Great place to bring someone from out of town who's never done candlepin bowling or just spend an afternoon! We came during the week and there was nobody here. (On a busy weekend night you have to put your name in for a lane and it could be hours before they call you). Highly recommend eating here at Flatbread too if you come, the pizza is great. Their drinks were delicious and great beer selection too.

R. Hopson

I love the bowling/pizza combo and nothing can detour a love like mine... except maybe an incredibly Rude hostess who ultimately ruined my pricey experience. Great food, awesome bowling (book in advance to not have your day ruined by wait time ) and then one Terrible human being at the front desk. See you next Tuesday! I hear it's a good time to come back. ;)

Elijah Lapson

Great spot but crowded unless you get there early.

Adam Kiezun

Great old school needle pin bowling. Plus good pizza. Good for team outings.

Paul Masters

This place is in my neighborhood, so I go fairly often. Consistently good pizza, excellent local beer program, and weird New England (candlepin) bowling! When it's cold, sit next to the giant stone pizza ovens for an extra cozy factor. If you go during the weekend, be warned that it can get quite crowded for dinner. PS. The Brownie Sundae is amazeballs.

Kevin Mccarthy

Good Pizza. Fare price..great venue!

Kendal Miller

Fun, chill, bowling alley and great flatbread pizza! Very kid friendly

James Ferguson

Good pizza, good beer, fun lanes with some character and history.

Robert Sterrett

Awesome candle pin bowling and great frat breads. Really cool atmosphere. Only bad thing is the parking.

Brett Wallender

I love the bowling, I love the Pizza, I love the beer. I've come here for my birthday 5 years running and I'll continue to do so. Its always a great time.

Tee Ricot

Very good service and food

George Touloumes

Great pizza and beer selection. Very snappy service. Did a birthday party here with about 25 people and 4 lanes was perfect. The candlepin bowling is a fun and different activity that everyone enjoyed, so it's a good place to bring visiting friends and family. If you're planning to split the bill though it can get a little complicated (since they do 1 check per party or per lane), so just come up with a strategy in advance and you'll be fine. Fully recommend for either kids or adults!

Ian Abreu

The service leaves much to be desired, but the pizza is great!

Kelly Mcfalls

The bowling was so much fun and the pizza was phenomenal. The only thing better was the awesome service. This place is wonderful for families, friends or general get-togethers.

Flat breads are delicious, and all ages enjoyed the bowling. Noisy!

Nicolas Holthaus

The flatbreads are good and bowling is fun. It can get crowded on weekends, and is kinda pricey. It's in Davis square, so parking is really difficult.

Tyler Leber

Very attentive and helpful staff! Amazing pizza. Candlepin bowling was definitely a fun experience.

Lenard Diggins

This is an excellent place for group/holiday parties. It a great way to have a large group of people mix with each other instead of being limited to interacting mostly with the 2-5 people nearest to them at a big dinner table. The candlepin bowling lanes and balls are in good shape, and there was a good crowd. Everyone just seems to be having fun, and that makes for a good time. The staff was friendly and helpful, too! Combining this place with The Flatbread Company is what really makes for a superb outing. The thin-crust pizzas are delicious, and the salads are tasty, too. Try to save some room for Barbara's Homemade Brownie Sundae!

Aparna Nigam

Super fun times! Way better than regular bowling :D Also, cool staff and love Flatbreads. Delicious pizza and a great draft selection.

Son Ngo

Had a really good time with my team here. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

Bryant Vernon

Great place to go bowling with the family. The staff is friendly and proactive. The only downside are the toddler birthday parties - the kids might reset your lane!

Shawn Herron

Great pizza and bowling if you can get a lane, which is usually unlikely

Moe Da

I go here for the throwback feel. Nothing else.

Matthew Cole

Great pizza, good beer list, great for families and parties

Todd Gys

Some of the best pizza around. Great cocktails and beer selection. Really friendly staff.

James QP

Amazing place. Probably my favorite place to go out in all of Boston. Great pizza, great beer, great staff, great vibe and decor. Candlepin bowling is a blast, but it's also a good spot to just go sit at the bar. If you want to bowl on a weekend night, probably have to arrive before 6 to get on the waitlist.

adam gallagher

really great way to have lunch and spend some time with the family. my brother reserved two lanes in honor of my mom's 75th birthday. we had them for two hours which was plenty of time for 9 of us to bowl two games. we had a few pizzas and salad, all delicious.

Kevin Hatcher

I love this place! Great yummy pizza, and a great selection of beer. Best place to sit is at the bar so you can watch the bowling and watch them make pizzas in the wood fired ovens! I have bowled here once, and it was fun...but not for years as it is difficult to get a lane during the weekend and late to mid week...

Meilin Zhan

Delicious pizza and great vibe! Fun bowling experience. We were there for a birthday party and we had a wonderful time. This place is very popular and remember to make a reservation weeks in advance, especially for weekends.

Geno Rocco

I didn’t get a strike but these guys sure did. 10/10.

Jennifer Appel

Sacco's was insanely fun! My group (of 5) showed up on a Thursday night. We expected there to be a wait of maybe half an hour or so and planned on grabbing a drink there while we waited. Unfortunately, there was a 2 hour wait... ouch. We put our name in and went to Sligo's down the street. They called when we were up (about 1 hour 45 minutes of waiting) and we were promptly given our lane and shoes. Service was outstanding - I really wish I remembered our waitress' name. We had plenty of good drinks, delicious flatbreads, and a fun time bowling. Will definitely return!

Melissa Smith

Fabulous experience. The bowling was a blast and the flat bread pizzas were phenomenal. We reserved three lanes for a group event and every one of our team members raved about the fun, food, and service. Would highly recommend. We had a great time.

jeanmichel molenaar

It seems it's always busy here - and for a good reason. Flat breads are great, staff is fun and relaxed, and the bowling is unpretentious and old fashioned fun. With kids, or friends or family - don't hesitate to spend an evening or afternoon here!

Ryan Eisele

Good pizza, well maintained lanes, and worn, but still quality candlepin bowling balls.

Kristen Harden

They cater to yuppies. I used to love it here.

Piper Hayden

Waitress was amazing. Food was great. Allergy conscious. Overall a great experience. Would recommend!

Karen Guinan

Bowling can be a bit pricey, but the food is delicious!!

Jeanie Pearson

Really tasty pizza and flatbreads plus fun vintage candlepin bowling! I didn't realize it until I went there once but it's totally valid to go there just for food and it's very tasty (unlike most bowling places lol)

Kirill Birger

Good pours of whiskey, good bowling, and great flatbreads.

Joanne Lee

Went for the Bowling, stayed for the Bowling and the Pizza. Candle pin bowling is always a ton of fun, especially for those who don’t particularly like real bowling. We ordered some pizza because we were hungry but I ended up being completely blown away by the crispiness and the freshness of the flatbreads.

Wilma Ruginski

Nice atmosphere. Great food.

Leonard R

One of Davis Square's best spots. Great food and a really unique classic new England bowling experience. Honestly I always get to drunk to use the paper score card. Hot tip, Don't do that

Gretchen Bennett

So much fun. Plus the food is great. Not cheap, but really good. The service is terrific too. One of the few places I can think of that is a great place to go with family, friends, or a date. Always a genuinely fun time.

Amos Benninga

Great place for both families and corporate events.

Kate Oswego

We had flatbread pizza that was so yummy there was no takeaway. Best of all, I had a vegan puzza-- and it was a menu item. The first place outside of a vegan restaurant to offer one. Best of all was that it was fabulous. Super service and fun to watch the pizzas being tossed. Too far from Oswego, NY, to visit often, but hope to be back someday. Locals, don't pass this by.

neha sarode

Great pizza, good selection of beers and drinks. Can't beat the fun factor of candlepin bowling. Parking can be a struggle though. Red line is your best bet.

Leon Morales-Quezada

Nice for kids and adults!

Patrick Brown

The pizza is worth going for, the bowling is too.

Nathan Barr

Hipster but not in a bad way. Retro feel, solid food. Bowling. If you aren't sold by those things why are you in Davis square?

Leonard R

One of Davis Square's best spots. Great food and a really unique classic new England bowling experience. Honestly I always get to drunk to use the paper score card. Hot tip, Don't do that

Gretchen Bennett

So much fun. Plus the food is great. Not cheap, but really good. The service is terrific too. One of the few places I can think of that is a great place to go with family, friends, or a date. Always a genuinely fun time.

Scotty Leach

I came here thinking it was normal bowling, but apparently in New England it's a different game! Small balls, and you get to bowl three times. This place is basically a restaurant with a bowling alley. It's a great hang. Staff is super friendly and the food is fab.

Matt Rocco

Sacco’s Bowl Haven? More like Bowl Heaven. Great bowling, food and service.

Jonathan Finlay

Fun place to bowl, off hours are best

Domenic Filingeri

Always an amazing time! Highly recommended!

Daryl Bosco

This place really depends on what you're looking for. It's a no frills candle pin bowling which stakes it's reputation on it's beers and pizza, both of which I would rate good but no where near the best in the city. I give it a 3 though because I've had below average interaction with the staff on multiple occasions, but Ive also gone with larger crowds so it could just be they were rushed/stressed.

Katie Macri

Busy place. Had to wait a few hours for a lane but we were able to go get dinner somewhere else. Fun experience.

Adeline Sire

The flatbread pizza is delicious as well as the salads, service is wonderful, but it's always very difficult to get a bowling lane if your party is smaller than 8 people. I've eaten there many times but bowled there few times because of the wait on most nights of the week.

Abdul Lohar

The food was great!! The pizza is right on point!! I had a problem with the wait time and that’s why I am giving it 2 stars. Made reservations for 10 people 3 days before. Got there on time and the table wasn’t ready. Waited another half hr until someone came and grabbed us to show the table (there was a pole in middle of our two tables. ) So we waited longer for another table to open up. Here is a suggestion for the business: don’t take reservations if you are not going to honor it. I understand u may choose not to honor reservations as a business but that would be bad for business. I am sorry but I won’t go back there again.

Mike Fraley

First, the flatbread pizza is the pizza that all other pizza wishes ot could be. It starts with specialty ingredients and finishes with wood fired brick ovens. It's worth the trip for the food alone. Candlelpin bowling is incredible fun. It's an old-school bowling alley, and with an eager and helpful staff. It's a family favorite.

Ashwin Sathy

Amazing ambience! After 6 they dim down the lights and lit the entire alley in radium.

Jill Maxwell

The staff were very friendly and accommodating to our group of kids and adults. They take really good care of this treasure and its vintage lanes.

Harry Klein

Love the flat bread pizzas. Always offer innovative and tasty variety.

Naj Barrett

Really nice candle pin bowling experience, plus the pizza is off the hook! Love it here (so do my coworkers!!)

Ken Ume

Good fun at an old fashion bowling alley

Svetlana Komisarchik

Fun place and excellent pizza.

Ernestine Connors

Fun birthday party for my 3 year old granddaughter

Saif Al-Enizi

Great classic wooden version bowling experience, lots of sunlight and the flatbread is really good, could get busy and you end up waiting.

Ryan Hoekstra

The hours on the website are wrong. They don't open until 12:30 on Saturday. I've seen 2 other families show up while leaving this review.

Peter Salem

Classic candlepin bowling experience with absolutely delicious brick oven fired flat bread pizzas. What more do you need?

Susan Pfordresher

What a fun time! Great atmosphere and friendly service. My 4 and 6 year old grandkids love candlepin. The pizza is delicious and beer selection is fantastic.

Arlington Verzolla de Souza

Best pizza, best bowling for the whole family! 100 STARS!!!

LeBaron

the food was Cool and Good. the atmosphere, was also Cool and Good.

James Brown

Awesome night out with delicious

Rob J Stevens

The pizza was amazing. Sitting near the brick oven is amazing on cold winter days. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the amount of noise

Ajit Vyas

Great bar/pizza/candlepin bowling joint! They have eclectic pizza choices but each one I've had has been delicious. Be aware that the lines for the bowling can be long, and it's first come, first serve. Shoes are available for rental. Looking forward to going again.

Matthew Tollison

Flatbread has outstanding food, a killer draught selection, as well as a full bar, and great staff! On to of that, candlepin bowling is A BLAST! We come here every time we are in town. No wait during the day, can get up to 2hr wait to bowl in the evenings, but they have a wait list and will call you when you're name is nearing the top. Love this place!

Jacin S.

Never been candle pin bowling so was surprised. Great place... Fun. Great service with a good selection of drinks. Yummy and funny flat bread pizza options.

Jason Goodwin

Candle pin, awesome local beer selection, cool spot to watch the bowling if you aren't playing.

Maurice Cuskelly

Great food great fun bowling. In my opinion better fun than modern tenpin bowling and a lot easier with much lighter bowls.

Joe Hazelton

A great night out with the fam, well kept, well-decorated, big welcoming space. Debates over the scoring of Candlepin spares on our paper cards, pictures of the kids outstretched in bowling poses. It’s awfully hard to knock and spin the candlepins and my old man got frustrated pretty quick, but we had a real sport of it. You can curve the ball crazily just like in wii sports. I’ll take this lovely memory to me grave <3

Rachel Mendez

Great! I went with my cousins. It's not extremely large, but there was no one else there at that time so it was pretty quiet! The people who worked there were really helpful and brought us water and dessert, and in total didn't seem to be too expensive. Would probably go back again :) they also sell pizza there as well.

Lau C

This place was amazing. My niece had her third birthday here. The staff was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming. The food was delicious, including the salad. My family and I will definitely be back!!

Bob McCaffrey

The pizza is good but pricey. They have a great beer selection lots of local craft beers. This is geared towards the affluent Somerville community but is still a fun place if you can afford to drop $100+

Aditya Kiran

Loved the vegan pizza. Great vibes! Fun place to chill with friends. They only have 10 lanes, so probably not ideal for weekends and busy times.

Nicolás César

Small pins. Family fun

Megan Good

Great food and atmosphere. I had never even heard of candlepin bowling before visiting Sacco's and it was a great first experience.

Kashif-ul Huda

It's a candle-pin bowling so easy for kids to work with the ball. Limited lanes so reservations are made weeks in advance. If you don't have reservations then come as soon as they open. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The onsite

Kevin

Employees are great, took a bad situation and made it into a great one! Our lane ended up breaking about halfway through our game. After 15 minutes or so they offered us vouchers for a free game in the future or free pizza. We took the free pizza hoping the lane would be fixed when we were done eating. In the end the lane couldn't get fixed so they didn't charge us for bowling and we got free pizza so we were happy campers. Will definitely return after that customer service!

Gabby d'antona

The bowling lanes are great, the vibe is super cool and the drinks are good. I like the local variety of spirits, however the flatbreads were good but not my favorite. I wish their was more variety on the menu, but overall staff was very informative about the different spirits and very nice.

the Bunkbed Chronicles

This place was amazing. My niece had her third birthday here. The staff was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming. The food was delicious, including the salad. My family and I will definitely be back!!

Darla Vitale

Fresh flat bread pizza, great beer menu, and candle pin bowling. Always a fun weekend night!

pezdisc

Wow! This is a great place to spend the evening. My family had so much fun here, it is hard to describe. Candlepin bowling is a blast, my children were able to bowl with ease. Everyone thought it was a whole lot better than bowling. We only wish there was candlepin bowling in kansas. The employees were super nice, friendly and catered to all of our needs. My only regret was that we came here after we ate and wasn't able to try their pizzas.

Kevin Murphy

This was a classic old wooden bowling alley that was saved from destruction. The interior has a great feel to it. Lots of space and natural light. A long bar tucked to the side. The pizza is always good and creative, with local ingredients. Candle pin bowling is great, but it's tough to bowl and eat on the weekend. They won't guarantee a bowling time if you get a table. The best time to bowl and eat is during the week. They also have some nice salads.

davia33089

It's a great place to hang out with family, friends or a date. It's a fun, laid back environment with great food. They also have a metered parking lot.

Hilary Gibbons

One of a kind. Great food, great fun but be prepared to wait to bowl.

Chuck Juracsik

Authentic brick oven. Lot's of fun candlestick bowling.

Thomas Rocco

I bowled a strike but this place is a perfect game every single time

George Madrid

Rudy's is always awesome. The wait stuff is friendly and helpful, and the tequila selection is first-rate.

Nick Figueiredo

Super fun bowling, friendly staff, great beer selection from many local breweries. And of course, the pizza is amazing.

Mark Grassia

Pizza is delish, takes a while to get a lane so the earlier you put your name in the better. Also bowling closes down a little earlier than expected.

Garrigan Stafford

Fun old time place for candlestick bowling, pizza, and local beer. I really enjoyed the old school lanes . One things is that candlestick bowling can be kinda complicated to score if you aren't used to it, so I would recommend getting a scoring app if you actually want to keep track(they don't have electronic scoring)

Bob McCaffrey

The pizza is good but pricey. They have a great beer selection lots of local craft beers. This is geared towards the affluent Somerville community but is still a fun place if you can afford to drop $100+

Kyle Allen

Wow! What an awesome time. Never have I experienced candlewick bowling but I will definitely be returning. This is so much better than regular bowling and more challenging. The gluten-free pizza is by far the best I've ever had and the craft beer selection was great. Overall a fantastic time. I highly recommend you take a date here.

Tim Maninger

Make sure to get some pizza too!

Nicholas Vandermunnik

This place is pretty fun and pizza is pretty good. Good vibe definitely.

Karen J

Korean pork pizza is the best of the four pizza we ate.

David Pikcilingis

A fun place for eating and bowling with the family

Kelly Gollobin

Great food and super customer service. What a fun place to eat, bowl and relax.

Jack Fitzgerald

Fun night bowling. excellent flat bread pizza after. Enjoyed the place.

Elizabeth Godlewski

Wonderful friendly family run establishment. Great pizza - bowling was very enjoyable and worth the wait on a Friday night.

Oliver Thomas

We hosted a retirement party here and the venue and the staff were perfect. Guests were floating in and out, kids could bowl, grab pizza, head back to bowling, and the beer and drink collection was great for the grownups. Amid all the fun and chaos, the staff were attentive and accommodating the entire time.

Lisa Spires

I went with alessandra Alisha andcmy 83 year old mother. We had a wonderful time

Akul S

A great place with good drinks, amazing flatbread and an even more amazing candle pin bowling alley. A perfect place to hang out with friends/family. Service, Ambience, Taste, Price- 5/5

James Doyle

This is a local favorite for traditional New England candle-pin bowling. Friendly, helpful staff. Good pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven, but the salads aren't that good. Great desserts. Easy parking across the street and a short walk from the MBTA red line Davis Square subway station. Kid friendly.

Jake Rye

Creative pizza, fun bowling style. Always a makes for a great evening in Davis.

Sunday Taylor

Very family friendly

Swati Gupta

First time candle pin bowling was fun, we had the whole place for a group team outing. They were very accommodating, the lady made sure to check ID`s for drinks for a big group so kudos. Pizza was pretty good too, loved the brownie bites with hot chocolate dip!

Sameep Shah

Fun n family friendly. The kids had a bowl of a time!

Danny Lam Ong

Great place to hang out with coworkers. It will better with couple lanes with real bowling, not all candle pins

Mendez David

This place was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Maybe because it was my initial stick-in-the-mud attitude, maybe because it was TUESDAY. But how can you go wrong with wood-fired pizza, great local draught, candlepin bowling, and coworkers who deserve more credit than I give them. Thanks for dragging my butt along, guys.

Kara Presbrey

Really difficult to deal with some of the staff members for scheduling a large group event. I mean nearly impossible to work with them. Other staff was great though. Overpriced but that's what you get for a hipster bowling alley in the middle of Davis square. Good food and drinks.

Ben Ball

Perfect combo of candlepin bowling, booze, funky pizza, and a totally unique space that combines them all.

Eva Capo

Took our grandson there, had fun!

Ken Seier

Quaint candlepin lanes and rustic flatbread bakery. Great place for friends, kids or a low pressure first date.

Zique Yutaka

Food's great and so are the drinks! The candle-pin bowling is a blast!

Joshua Kubiak

fun activity when not taken too seriously. great for groups (staff if very helpful if you call in advance)

Sarah Rose

This place is amazing!! I loved their pizza, family atmosphere and trying a new sport! Being someone from the Midwest, I had never heard of candle pin bowling, so new and so much fun! I loved going here and cannot wait to go back the next time I am in Boston. If you want to take your family and friends somewhere new, go here!

Clayton Haapala

Good beer selection, well done flatbreads, and candlestick bowling kicked my butt.

Justin Zonay

Great pizza, great beers, and an awesome bowling experience. 5 stars!

Nicole Hanafin

Great pizza, wish seating was bigger in the bowling area.

Dan Rohde

Crazy cool place! A must visit for Somerville.

Ali Atabey

Great food and fun atmosphere. Always busy though so it takes a while to get a lane. They only accept reservations for parties 8 and up.

Frank Pobutkiewicz

Very cool old school candlepin bowling alley with awesome flat bread and cool bar menu

bret

Best pizza around, and drinks. Plus candlepin!

Rajat Sharma Subedi

It's a very nice bowling place TBH. If you are a smaller party, the wait time is just too long.

Andrew Cloonan

Best flatbread pizza on the Red Line, avoid league night because a few frames of candle-pin is a must

Sonneth Aguilar

I love this place, everytime I'm in Cambridge I do my best to go. Their pizza and root beer are crazy delicious!!!

Bob Duff

The food is great, the employees are nice. The music is there for people looking to bowl, so not a good place if you want a relaxing meal. The main food served, pizza, is coal fired, and prepared on the spot. The waiters are always very quick to serve you.

Drew Howard

Great little spot for some interesting bowling and good beer. The staff is super nice and we had a great time! The food looked great too!

Josh Smift

Ten lanes of candlepin bowling, and delicious wood-fired pizza, a great combination. We were there for a birthday party, and the kids had a blast.

Andrew Nagelin

Cool place to bowl near Davis Square. Great bar with good variety of beer on tap and bottles. Brick oven pizza smelled and looked great.

Danny Lam Ong

Great place to hang out with coworkers. It will better with couple lanes with real bowling, not all candle pins

Deanna Dement Myers

Great service, excellent pizza, fun bowling

Eric Walpert

Great old school bowling. Expect to wait

Laura Chivers

Super fun, good pizza, candlepin lanes that function well. Only a few lanes for walkins, which can have long waits. Good to come for pizza and get on the waitlist and maybe have a walk around the neighborhood. Reservations in advance online for big groups.

Eli Kirshenbaum

Fun bowling! Would highly recommend to anyone who's okay with just candlepin.

Tara MacAulay

Such a fun game! This is nothing like normal bowling, and I was hopeless at it, but it was still so much fun. The pizza was fantastic and they bring drinks right to your lane.

Peter

Review is for bowling only. Old school place with a classic look. Good prices for a group great for kids. Overall a fun place.

Nina Soreide

Good food and fun bowling :)

Damnath De Tissera

Wonderful flatbreads! Great place also to host a kids birthday party with the bowling. Very efficient service as well.

Jenifer Van Tol

Great pizza, good bowling place, nice combination of bowling and eating!

Jonathan Moore

Great pizza in a unique environment. The pizzas are tossed, topped, and fired right next to the seating area. In the winter it's delightful to sit where you can feel the heat from the ovens. Good beer selection, and the candlepin bowling is loads of fun. I recommend the Jay's Heart pizza if you're just starting out. A great cheese pizza is the mark of a great pizza place!

Tim Cowsert

Good food and fun bowling experience. Unpredictable wait times but patience was rewarded. Teenagers had fun too!

Kara West

Awesome pizza and bowling

Marguerite Sullivan

Always a good time! Fresh and local farmers are used. Love the pizza, salad and desserts.

joanne Taylor

actuaLLy it's caLLed fLatbread company. it incLudes pizza and bowLing. I had a good time with friends, many that I hadn't seen in quite a whiLe.

Christopher Beasley

Three stars and the three stars are due to the nostalgia and the atmosphere which I found pleasant and different from 10 pin bowling. But the management is severely lacking. Whether it is scheduling a lane to bowl on or grabbing the table the wait is beyond ridiculous. Half the tables were empty and yet we still had to wait 10 to 15 minutes. As I was waiting, the wait went up and people walked away and left the establishment. Granted it was the Friday after Christmas impact, but there should have been more people scheduled to take the crowds. I will go back but will probably make a reservation two weeks out.

Robert Irwin

Had a blast at Sacco's! Great pizza and drink options. After we ate in the restaurant near the brick oven we tried our skills out at candlestick bowling. Good times all around!

Edson Dias

Very tasty, organic flatbread pizza here. Lots of craft beer. Good bowling although not many lanes so plan ahead so you don't get there when it's super busy.

Kit Parker

If you're even thinking about going you better call ahead and see how long the wait is. You got to make sure that you are tracking the availability of a lane. The pizza is decent. Parking in Davis Square is a nightmare. Either take the red line or take Uber. They financed the whole town off of the parking tickets

Douglas Scholz

Plenty of seating. Excellent selection of pizza. Candle pin bowling. A very good selection of beer. A really fun time.

Josh Wardell

Flatbreads has some of the best pizza around, but we keep coming back for the atmosphere and great drinks! Pizzas are made with super-fresh high end ingredients and the flavor really shows. While all the different pizzas are excellent, more often then not I order a Jay's Heart, which is essentially a cheese pizza but really highlights the flavor of their sauce and herbs. Always ask what the current meat and vegetarian special pizzas are, because they are often spectacular no matter how strange they sound. The sit-down restaurant area is great for kids and all ages. You can watch the pizzas being made in the huge clay ovens and enjoy your own table. The bowling area only has a few lanes and is very often full. It's great for parties for kids OR adults. I strongly suggest you make reservations well ahead of time for bowling. Most of the time, we are in the bar area though. Long and thin like a bowling lane, space can be tight, but there's always a good view of hijinks on the bowling alley! They always have a great selection of over a dozen very local craft beers and ciders. But I can't recommend their drinks highly enough. Also made with fresh local ingredients, most drinks are flavorful and refreshing, and served in a pint glass! One thing to keep in mind is that there is not really any alternative to pizza. They have great small salads and incredible desserts, but if you come in for a meal, you're eating pizza.

Tristan Cunha

Great veggie specials for pizza. Not too many bowling lanes, it can be tough to get a spot on the weekends.

Bryan Egge

Fun bowling, candlepin. Friendly staff, decent beer and liquor selection. Be prepared to do manual scoring.

Adriana Ayala

Love it
