I called ahead and they seemed to understand cc and take GF seriously. While they did take precautions with the pizza, it’s cooked in a shared oven, so I steered clear. I ordered the chicken wings, “fries” (really just baked sweet potato wedges), and a Greek salad. They said the wings and sweets were baked in a separate oven. Nothing was amazing, but the meal was fine, and most importantly, I didn’t get sick. If you’re looking for a safe meal in GB, I recommend it.

This is a fantastic celiac-safe restaurant. Our waitress immediately knew what on the menu was gluten free, and they carefully follow protocols to avoid cross-contamination. I later learned that the owner of the restaurant is married to a woman with celiac disease…..so when they say they know celiac disease, you can trust that they REALLY do!

The pizza is delicious and 100% GF. They make the crust for the regular pizza and the gluten-free pizza offsite in completely separate facilities so there’s no chance of cross-contamination. And they bake the gluten-free pizza on a separate surface.

They have Ugly brand gf crust which was fabulous! Vegan cheese, too. Ask for extra cheese as there was only a few tablespoons of cheese on the whole thing. The veggie pizza was fully loaded with veggies and heavy, though!

They don’t have a ton of gf options but the food was tasty!!! I had the soup with a side of what I believe was a gf pita. I didn’t order it but they serve gf pizza on an Ugly crust which is one of the best!

This location is bit more of a dive than the now closed one in PIttsfield. The pizzas are good and the crust is great. Just be aware that there is a surprise markup for asking for the gf pizza.

My boyfriend and I are on spring break vacation in this area and thought this pizza place looked good and safe for me. But I was extremely sick after eating their gluten free pizza and now we have to cancel our hiking plans and go home early because I feel too sick to do anything. Maybe it was just a one time accidental thing and but it really messed up our vacation and we really did emphasize that I have celiac disease. Also, I would like to add, that when we went to pick up the pizza there was a tip jar and my boyfriend but in a $1 and some change and the employee that was standing there who handed us our pizza, scoffed at the tip which I thought was pretty unnecessary.

Many different gourmet GF pizza options and salads. Food was good. GF pizzas come in a specific size in a specific size box… no question of what’s gf and what’s not.

Baba Louie’s makes their own Sourdough Gluten Free crusts. Branded as “Ugly’s Gluten Free Bakery” Impressed with the speciality-pizza combinations and fresh ingredients.

We ordered: -Dolce Vita 10/10 & Puttanesca Pizza 8/10 -Phoebe’s Greek Salad 11/10 -Eggplant Soup (Soup of the day) 9/10

Beer and Wine bar with a friendly staff. Order one pizza per person. Crusts aren’t big but also not small. Baba Louie’s 11/10 - Would visit again.

We order Ugly’s pizza crust delivered to our home regularly, so we have always wanted to try Baba Louie’s. The only GF item they offer is the pizza crust. They assured us that the pizza would be cooked separately and no reactions after eating. However, I will say cooking it at home is better. The pizza was underwhelming and service insanely slow. It seemed as though they weren’t communicating well so it might have been a management issue.

This place is great! Was visiting Hudson on vacation and ordered from here after being assured by the manager that they make the GF separately. The pizza is so good, it’s a thin crust and the toppings are awesome. And I had no issues at all. Will definitely be eating here again on my next visit!

This pizza place is AWESOME!!! The gluten free crust is thin and crispy. And the taste is one of the best I’ve eaten! 24 hours after consuming I have no gluten or cross contamination issues! Highly recommend. Staff were knowledgeable and took extra care to ensure the pizza was safe.
