Hillside Pizza started in 2001 as a partnership between a school chef and a part-time organic farmer, and it's grown from a fundraising operation into a restaurant group with locations in South Deerfield, Bernardston, and at Yankee Candle Village. The menu centers on wraps made with flour tortillas, fresh vegetables, and hormone-free meats, along with salads built from locally sourced organic produce. They also offer gluten-free and vegan options. The business operates on a commitment to sustainable practices and sourcing from local and organic producers—a philosophy that extends beyond the menu: they've raised over $500,000 through a fundraising program for community groups and use their Bernardston location as a vocational training hub for students from an autism school in Vermont.
