Review


Preface: I have a non-celiac gluten intolerance. I don't have gut issues with gluten, instead my joints will ache so badly I want to cut limbs off. I am HIGHLY sensitive, I usually can't even eat anything that's processed in the same factory as items that contain gluten.

That being said we are on vacation and I took a chance on BJs because they have many items marked as GF. The waitress recommended the cauliflower crust pizza because she thought it tasted better than regular, and customers love it. She wasn't wrong! I got BBQ chicken on the cauliflower crust and it was SO good. I was concerned because I forgot to ask if they use separate equipment for baking their GF pizzas. I also had an entire GF pazookie to myself and not only did it still taste amazing, I'm well into the next day and I haven't even had a twinge of joints aching- which is huge! Generally I'll start reacting within hours of eating gluten.

Obviously it's still a shared kitchen so cross contamination is going to be a risk but I'm glad I took a chance this time! And our waitress Kayla B was so awesome and helpful, and super understanding with our ND kiddo.
