Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free and what they could do to minimize cross contamination. I enjoyed a cauliflower crust pizza with no reaction.

Ordered a cauliflower crust pepperoni pizza. Pizza was good and a nice change from seafood (on TDY).

They noted this as an allergy, changed gloves, and used a clean cutter.

They also have a GF dessert, but the girl at the counter told me that the pizza was the only thing that could reasonably be safe from cross contamination. As a celiac, I appreciate the honesty.

I did not get sick.

Not safe for celiac’s or gluten sensitive. The staff is knowledgeable and ver honest. When I told them I had Celiac’s, she advised me not to eat there.

Small pizza shop that was knowledgeable about gf. My celiac daughter and mom split the gf cauliflower crust pizza with pepperoni. We identified celiac/allergy and they used a separate/clean cutter. No problems and both my mom and daughter enjoyed the pizza. The gluten pizza was delicious as well. Prices were extremely reasonable.

We stopped here for lunch as soon as we arrived on the island, the restaurant was busy since it was a rainy afternoon. Still, they took my request very seriously when we ordered and assured me that they would change gloves and take all precautions to prepare my pizza. The wait wasn’t as long as predicted, my pizza came out separately and piping hot from the oven. The cheese was perfectly melted and the crust wasn’t at all soggy. It was one of the best GF pizzas I’ve ever had. We will definitely be stopping there again on future trips.

They offer cauliflower crust, but we were told that it is cooked in the same oven as the regular pies. All pies are also cooked straight on the grill as well… no pans, no cleaning in between. Worst of all though, the employee on the phone was rude and obviously annoyed with our questions. I’m sure they were busy, but it was still very disappointing. We went to Ledo’s Pizza instead and had a much better experience.

They have cauliflower crust and good pizza, but my mom and two of my kids all got sick after eating here. There was definitely cross contamination. If you're not that sensitive, give it a try, but I wouldn't recommend this place for true celiacs.

I took a chance and ate here my last night in Chincoteague. It’s the only place I didn’t call in advance to interrogate about their GF protocol l because I had intended to eat somewhere else my last night but it turned out to be closed that day.

The woman who took my order seemed a little bit knowledgeable but not the level I would normally be comfortable with. They had an allergen list for the GF cauliflower crust that she pulled out to let me review to confirm the crust is GF (it is - it also contains cheese). It either is a premade crust that comes with its own pan or they have a separate pan for GF, I wasn’t sure. I took a chance on it because I didn’t have a backup plan. The pizza was fantastic and I didn’t get sick. I’m happy I gave leftovers for another day. I would probably go back but would ask better questions to limit my potential gluten exposure. The staff was really nice.

Didn’t have a reaction there. Eaten there often when I wasn’t. Had a GF pizza and no reaction. Just tell them gluten allergy before hand.

Have a gluten free pizza that was one of the best I have ever tried. Tasted like the regular pizza but without the gluten.

Friendly and helpful staff. Girl at the counter asked her manager about the gluten free questions we had. The fryer is shared. The gf pizza crust is delicious with thick crusty edges. The Greek salad was made with crispy green romaine lettuce, olives, cucumbers, grape tomatoes and red onions. Very fresh. I was told gyro meat had breadcrumbs mixed in so not gluten free so I got the grilled chicken. Also delicious. My salad did come with a warm fresh garlic roll wrapped in foil even though I told them I was gf. No problem, I just didn’t eat it.

I was able to order a pizza with a cauliflower crust; yum! Staff very knowledgeable about my gluten-free dietary needs. Very friendly staff! Try the Greek Salad with grilled chicken; that flavor of the grilled chicken was wonderful.

They offer a small gluten-free pizza. The dough is on a seperate tray for cooking. They cook their grilled chicken on a gluten-free free cook top with no cross contamination. Their Greek chicken salad is good too. The care very much on the safety of food.
