Flight Deck Brewing Co
Our wood-fired pizza is made using traditional methods in a beautiful copper-clad oven, built for us right here in Maine. All good pizza starts with the dough. That’s why we use The Good Crust® made in Skowhegan, with 100% Maine Grains®. Lucky for us, (and you), we have many local farms that provide us with delicious seasonal offerings that inspire a creative and rotating menu.

Hearth and Soul
From our Maine Wood Heat custom fabricated former demonstration oven to our pizza crusts using Maine Grains, we think local is better. When something breaks or you have a question, you get a voice, often the owner on the phone. We like knowing who grows our crops, who mills our grain, who builds our ovens, and who eats our pizzas. We love good conversation and connection, isn’t that at the heart of local? We like to put names with faces and create a hub of economic activity for those close to where we serve.

Now featuring flour from Maine Grains. Our pizza dough is very special; it’s made with a 86 year old sour dough yeast!

Then we mix more flour water and salt and let ferment again then we prep the pizza dough balls. The total time is 3 days to create this amazing flavored dough!

The Maine Craft Pizza
Founder’s Declaration
We, the founders of the Maine Craft Pizza concept, unite in commitment to a pizza-style that is defined by, and showcases the flavors of one’s OWN region in America’s favorite flatbread.
With values that encompass sustainable farming and energy practices, fresh ingredients grown nearby in each of Maine’s four seasons, and skilled craftsmanship, we challenge the notion that a pizza style must be defined by another culture’s style or ingredients shipped from far away. We recognize the impact of sourcing ingredients in Maine helps us all, from farmers, to millers, cheesemakers to dough manufacturers, oven-builders to pizzaiolos…..and eaters taste the difference!
We propose that “Maine Craft Pizza” be hereby defined by 4-star criteria:
- DOUGH sourced from a mill in Maine that uses locally grown grains
- TOPPINGS sourced in season from local farms
- BAKED in a wood-fired oven using sustainable energy sources
- Served with MAINE CRAFT BEER!
You know you are making Maine Craft pizza when ingredients travel short distances, you know the farmer/producer of your ingredients, the menu changes with the seasons, and cost of goods fluctuates.
