Okay this isn't me being petty because of personal issues with the business and owners but cross contamination is at a high here.if you're celiac or severely sensitive, DO NOT EAT HERE. Workers are auppose to cut allergy pizzas with clean cutters but I've seen them not and still send it out because managers/owner said to.

I believe they are now Ollie’s Pizza, possibly new ownership. Pizzas are prepared in separate space but then are are removed from the pan and set on the floor of the (non-dedicated) oven for the last minute of cooking. Major cross contamination risk for celiacs.

We've been dining at Donatellos, or via takeout/delivery for years. They are a bit on the pricey side but we love their gluten free pizza. The owner has a celiac kid and takes cross contamination VERY seriously. My husband is celiac and has never once been glutinized by Donatellos.

I was super excited to hear about a GF pizza place near me. I called one night to have pizza delivered. The person I spoke to did not know what gluten even was. Kept telling me that the GF options for toppings were vegetables. Only vegetables. I didn't think that could be right. I told her nevermind. Called back hoping for someone else. Her again. I asked for a manager or for her to get the info. She could not do either. I did not order pizza.

Second time I went directly there and spoke to someone at the counter. Again, she. Had zero idea which toppings were GF. She went to the kitchen and came back with "I'm pretty sure they are all GF" pretty sure? I said you the answer needs to be yes or no. She looked at me like I was nuts. Finally she said "pretty sure means yes"..... After all of that I was no nervous to eat that I didn't want to. I will not go back ever again. I did not get glutened but they are not training anyone when they offer GF pizza!!

This was the first time in years I have had a pizza that tasted like a pizza. And my son and I were able to order a large and bring home left overs instead of the obligatory medium. It really was wonderful.

Depending on which person is behind the counter they may or may not know much about gluten. That's why just 4 stars. But I've been there 3 times and haven't gotten sick yet. Better than I can say for other places!

I always have fantastic service here and the pizza is probably the best gf crust I've had. It's locally made in Portland. The ovens are shared, so there is the risk of cross contamination, however this is the only pizza place in town I've not had issues with cross contamination.

They truly didn't understand gluten free. When asked it the other toppings were gluten free they were like "yea? " when asked what salad dressing was gluten free they said "I don't think they put gluten in salad dressing." ... well took the chance and got sick 20 minutes or so after eating.. so won't be going back. People if YOUR going to say you have gluten free have a claimer and also EDUCATE YOURSELVES ON WHAT GLUTEN IS !

I didn't think the crust or the pizza was anything special. May give Donatello's another chance. Will probably try other options first.
