Review of FATBOB Pizza

My wife, daughter, and I tried this place for the first time today. My wife has Celiac Disease, so when I saw the good reviews on this site, I figured we would give it a shot.

My daughter and I had the hand-tossed pizza, with meatballs and mushrooms on my half. The quality of the pizza is far beyond the nationwide chains and even rivals some of the more upscale pizza places like Mellow Mushroom. The sauce isn't too sweet and isn't too tart, and I could tell that the cheese is a very good quality one.

I think more importantly to me was that my wife took two bites of her gluten-free pizza and declared it the best gluten-free pizza she had ever eaten. So many places offer crusts that are either thin and chewy or thin and cracker-like. The crust here was a good half-inch thick and was soft and fluffy. I had a few bites and did not notice the gritty quality that plagues so many other crusts in the area. Its taste was just as good as my gluten-filled crust. My wife experienced zero problems after eating the pizza, and she is highly sensitive to gluten.

The crew at this location was amazing as well. We walked in at lunch, and the lady behind the counter was very friendly. When she heard it was our first visit, she explained the menu to us. When my wife started asking gluten-related questions, the lady brought up a gentleman from the kitchen who had more experience. He was patient and friendly as he answered her questions. I always feel bad for my wife when places treat her like she's some sort of fad dieter. If I could clone the crew at FatBob's and make them work at other restaurants, I would be happy. Since I can't do that, I will have to satisfy myself by driving from Canton to Brunswick more frequently to get our pizza fix.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
