Hillside Pizza in Bernardston started in 2001 as a partnership between a school chef and a part-time farmer, and has since grown to multiple locations. The restaurant focuses on fresh, local, and organic ingredients—their wraps come with flour tortillas, fresh vegetables, and hormone-free meats, while their salads feature locally sourced organic vegetables. They offer gluten-free and vegan options. Beyond the main menu, Hillside Pizza runs a fundraising program that has helped community groups across New England raise over $500,000, and the Bernardston location serves as a vocational training hub for students from a Vermont autism school.
