Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company
(Restaurants - American)
838 10th St, Canmore  • 403-609-5508
Distance: ~16.572 km *
        Description: Owners Dominic and Suzanne Fielden and chef/partner Ralf Wollman share a commitment to community, the earth, and healthy and flavorful food that is truly commendable. Their careful attention to detail is more than evident in the finished product, a perfectly crafted flatbread pizza second to none. Each pizza starts with 100% organic ingredients; handmade flatbreads are topped with an amazing array of vegetables, meats and cheeses, then baked in a specially constructed wood-fired clay oven. These pizzas are so good, in fact, that more than 80 other retailers across Western Canada now stock them. If you like pizza (and who doesn't?) you won't want to miss this one. Their Saturday evening "Dinner & Laughs Comedy Show" pairs a 3-course meal with humorous entertainment – make reservations early for the show!

Sauces are homemade and meats are slow-roasted to produce the best flavors. On Fridays and Saturdays, owner Charlie Butler's jazz trio entertains.
