I only have gf salads here, not the pizza. I think they don't have a separate oven for it and it gets cross contaminated. I also don't have anything that might have gluten in the salad, like candied walnuts, because sometimes they're gf and sometimes not.

The gluten free pizza here is the best I have tasted so far. They can make any kind of pizza you want. Even my 8 yr old, who is not allergic to gluten, had a gluten free traditional and she loved it. this is definitely a place I will be returning too. hopefully they will expand their gluten free options to their pasta and other entrees in the future.

This place was so much better than I expected!! I thought "Another pizza chain in NYC trying to get on the gluten free train", but I was wrong! Their gluten free pizza was so good that even my boyfriend liked it! They are very careful not to contaminate any of their gluten free ingredients which is wonderful for those of us who are very intolerant. The last time I got a Domino's gluten free pizza, it made me really sick - I have a feeling they made it on the same flour they had made the regular pizzas on. But not this place! SOOO GOOOD!!!

They have cauliflower crust for pizzas. Can’t confirm if they took precautions to cook in separate oven, or if other ingredients are GF as well.

It seems as though their kitchen has started slipping. I was gluttened last night after going to this location for over two years. My meal came out for the first time without a gluten free marker. Be very careful!

Ordered the mushroom, pepperoni and sausage pizza twice. I told the kitchen i was celiac, they informed me that the GF pizza is prepared ahead of time and kept in a separate fridge. The pizzas stay on the tinfoil when put into the oven (shared with gluten pizzas). However, the second time I went, they didnt change the gloves, and started using them to add pepperoni to my pizza. I saw and asked if they were new gloves and they said no- and made me a new pizza. I would be careful when dining here because it does not seem to be consistent

Went here tonight and the chicken pizza was the best I have had since Coeliacs disease 5 years ago. Thin crispy base, yum. Waiter was knowledgeable and pizza came out with a gf flag on it. Wish I had a place like this in Australia.
