Woodbelly Pizza

I am from Brooklyn NY, Home of wildly good pizza. My granddaughter lives on Barre St and she was getting married. Somehow I ended up alone, and hungry. I am asking myself what to eat. As I was driving down Barre Street I noticed a sign Woodbelly Pizza. I had not been in VT for several years and did not know this pizza place existed. I got down to main street and sat there thinking if I should turn around and give it a try. I made it back to their parking lot and started into their place. I am pretty old and I look like I am about to take a tumble. A wonderful lady sitting at an outdoor table jumped up and helped me in. I was a bit disoriented. There was a wood fire oven staring me in the face. I could smell the pizza. One of the staff told me where to order and I was met by a lovely lady who helped me order. We engaged in conversation about Woodbelly and it's journey. It was so pleasant. I was wearing a Rosary and we conversed about that. Being a Thursday evening and pretty late, there were no immediate customers. By the time my pizza was cooked we had enjoyed a few wonderful moments. This is a really good place. It is thin crust pizza cooked to perfection. I was so happy a ventured into Woodbelly. I am posting one picture... That says it all. And no, I could not finish the whole pizza, which my great grandson was happy for. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Vermont rarely lets you down.

We hired the Woodbelly team to cater our wedding at the iconic Sleepy Hollow Farm in Woodstock, VT. As soon as my fiance and I walked into the Woodbelly shop for our tasting in Montpelier, we almost immediately knew we would want to work with them this summer. BLM artwork litters the walls, there's a sign that says "trans people eat free" under the register and Hailey greets you with the warmest smile from behind the counter! Then...we tried the food. Nothing could have prepared us for how absolutely delicious everything was! And its not just their pizza thats mind-blowing, so are their vegetarian and chicken dishes. Hailey's service was wonderful, she (and her sweet daugther!) even did a site visit before the wedding to give us advice on where her team should set up, and what makes the most sense for rental planning. She was extremely accommodating to our vegan diet, as well and provided gluten-free alternatives for our guests. My parents mentioned "faine" aka "farinata," because we eat that with our pizza in our home-country of Argentina, and Hailey offered to learn the recipe and make it for us at the wedding. Thats how thoughtful she is! We ordered: - grazing table full of local cheese and meats - maple seared scallops - fish cakes -farinata -green salad with seasonal veg -maple braised chicken thighs and drumsticks -quinoa & bean stuffed squash -pizza buffet with vegan cheese and GF crust options -peach & blueberry cobbler At the wedding, no one could stop talking about how incredible the food was, and how absolutely lovely Hailey and her staff are. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you and your team for making this happen! Don't have photos to share yet (photos are yet to arrive from the photographer) but will leave you with this one of the bride getting her hands messy in some pizza :)

Great pizza and calzones. The menu is different and delicious. All genders welcome and bathrooms are non gender too. Eclectic atmosphere and art. Try the pizza...seriously the best crust in VT

Excellent pizza and a delightful sour beer from a local microbrewery. The sourdough crust was crispy without being charred or overcooked and the variety of slices was enough to satisfy our diverse preferences. Leftovers from our whole pie were gobbled up the next morning and my kids consistently rank it as the best pizza in Montpelier. Pinball machine in the back is a wonderful addition and we will be coming back for more.

Exceptional pies. Love the local craft beer on tap. Will stop anytime I drive through

We stopped in here for dinner while traveling. It was our first time here and the employees were super patient and helpful. The pizza was amazing!! Some of the best pizza I've had! Absolutely recommend stopping here if you are in the area!

This place is amazing. The staff is cool, it is for sure the best pizza I’ve ever had (seriously, these folks care about pizza), and the vibes are immaculate. I feel like people forget that when you go out to eat, you’re going out to experience what that particular establishment does, not what you want them to do. I see that reading some of these bad reviews so keep that in mind. I also love what this place stands for and the business model of worker ownership that they’re striving for. This place is seriously just all-around amazing,I couldn’t recommend it more.

The prior owners ran a good shop, and now, it’s even better! Such a generous open house to welcome the community. The pies are A-1! Staff is super friendly and the food is served quickly and hot. What’s not to like?!?
