Cottage Inn Gourmet Pizza

Well, I'd eaten here a few times and felt fine. (Gluten free pizza with cheese only topping). Then I felt sick several times and suspected glutening but wasn't sure. Then I did a Nima test on their pizza after not eating there awhile and it showed no gluten found. So I ate those, felt fine. Ate a few more over the next weeks, felt fine. Then last night I ate one and woke feeling very very ill. Swollen jaw, messed up stomach, "D", etc - this has been ALL day with no let up. I tested the leftovers with the Nima and it showed "Gluten detected." So NO, I would not recommend. Someone didn't follow the protocol and cross contaminated the pizza. It could be from the cheese, or using the same utensils or not changing gloves. Don't eat here if you have Celiac disease or can not eat gluten. Sadly.

Celiac friendly?

No

The gluten-free pizza is all right. It's not stellar, but I've certainly had worse. I don't advise celiacs to eat here, though, because there's major risk of cross contamination, but the one time I ate here I didn't get sick.

Spoke with the manager on duty and this is not a celiac safe establishment. Even with their GF options they cannot prevent cross contamination.

I didn't get sick, but the gf pizza was awful. Overcooked,skimpy items, paper thin bland crust. Gross. Not worth the $20 that they charged.

Fantastic! I love cheese bread but can't have soy or gluten. They use olive oil and even asked if I wanted minced garlic for flavor. The pizza is always spot on. This is our go to pizza place!

They have in my opinion just ok pizza for the price. The cheese bread thing is actually better than the pizza, that is the only thing I’d recommend from here. Still they were very good about accommodation, and staff seemed knowledgeable. Although the pizzas are cooked together, the GF ones are cooked on a baking pan, I’m very sensitive and hadn’t had a reaction.
