American Flatbread Tribeca Hearth (CLOSED)

The highly regarded Vermont pizza company—founded in 1985 in owner George Schenk's backyard—enters the big leagues, putting its organic, wood-fired pies up against Gotham's finest. A menu of 14 pizzas, featuring dough made with artisanal flour, combine Mediterranean and American influences: The Cheese and Herb is topped with mozzarella, Vermont grana and oregano, while the New Vermont Sausage comes with house-made maple-fennel sausage and mushrooms. A New England take on a classic Japanese salad features Maine seaweed, carrots, celery and a ginger-tamari vinaigrette. In line with the chainlet's locally minded bent, 14 taps pour brews from New York and the Green Mountain State.
