Food was amazing! Pizza was cooked on foil, no adverse reactions. The waitress said they recently changed their crust and it was hands the best GF crust I’ve had. My BF tried a bite and agreed it didn’t taste or have the texture of GF crust! The salad with goat cheese, highly recommend! And flower power drink, yum!

I think this is just about as safe as you can get for pizza that isn’t at a gluten free facility. The crust comes par-baked from a gluten free facility. Pizza is a different shape than gluten pizzas. If you ask, they will bake it on foil, as it does get placed directly in the pizza oven. Have eaten here several times and not gotten sick. Pizza is very expensive, though even not gluten free pizzas run pretty expensive there

Rip off ! Very small Gluten Free pizza with an extra size price!!!! Places like this somehow believe that all individuals with Celiac pull in a huge income and money is no object.. Want great gluten free pizza… Try Otto’s Pizza…. Delicious with a real crust that doesn’t taste like frozen microwave pizza!

We had the best night at flatbread and the staff was so accommodating to my partners allergy! GF pizza is a bit more expensive (as expected) but comes out on tinfoil and we felt totally safe eating it. GF only comes in the smaller size.

We had 3 Celiacs with us. Regular 12" pizza was about $15 and they charged an additional $5.50 for a premade frozen 12" crust, so a personal pizza is a 37% upcharge. The place looked great and the service was fast and friendly, but we can't 'stomach' that kind of gouge.

Nice to have a place to grab some decent gf/vegan pizza! Take extra care in making it and even use tin foil to keep it off contaminated surfaces. Also have 2 very tasty gf/vegan desert options!

You can make any pizza gluten free with their standard personal pizza size crust. I recommend asking them to wrap your pizza in tinfoil for when it cooks in the oven if you are a sensitive celiac like me.

Pretty good food, not the best crust I've ever had but the quality of toppings impressed me.

Best staff! They have a separate area that they prepare the gf pizzas with gloves and put them carefully on a tin foil basket before baking. The BEST gf pizza around ❤🍕

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve been to a few flatbread companies in New England and they’re all delicious! Always serve the gf pizza on its own foil tray and I’ve never had an issue

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was assured that they had a separate prep area for GF pizzas and that it would be safe for me to eat there, but clearly there was cross contamination. Was sick within a half hour of eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Absolutely awesome! One the gluten free pizza is out of this world! Never had anything as close to regular then this. Neither my husband or son has ever gotten sick. Just make you tell them it is for an allergy. Gluten free choc chip whoopie pie is gf and vegan and it is amazing! They also do vegan/diary free pizza if you are can’t have either. Highly highly recommend. Have eaten there many times with gluten and dairy issues and never once gotten sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have eaten here dozen of time with only a hand full of times when we suspected getting some gluten. They are as careful as they can be.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The pizza is made separately and we never get sick. They even have gluten-free desserts!

Very friendly front of house who answered all of my questions regarding preparation, even on a busy holiday weekend. My order was flagged to prevent cross contamination. Separate prep area and pizza cooked on heavy foil. Delicious pizza with chewy crust. Would recommend and will visit next time I'm in town.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! Had the taco pizza gluten free. They even used aluminum foil to prevent cross contamination in the oven. Waiting on our gluten free brownie sundae! Yum!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was diagnosed with celiac disease 5 years ago... this was one of the best GF crusts I've had! Locally grown ingredients; Friendly staff, and quick service! I knew I was in good, capable hands the moment we walked in. Recommended!!👍🏻

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Local ingredients, friendly staff, really really good food, recommend it! Best crust ever!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free beer, cider, wine, and flatbreads. Great options, and a caring staff. Flatbreads are kept separate on tin foil when cooked.

The staff was very courteous and very knowledgable about cross contamination. We had a great meal there today and no effects! My son has celiac disease and is very sensitive. We would know by now if he was even cross contaminated. He had the Jay's flatbread (cheese pizza) and a root beer. They make them on foil in the walk in fridge, away from contaminates. Definitely will be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing. Honestly the best crust I've had since being diagnosed. Very careful and knowledgable.

Pizza is phenomenal and the environment is very hippie zen. It's like I was transported to California

I wasn't in love with the gluten free crust....I thought the pizza was a little bland.

My go to place for gluten-free pizza! Amazing gluten-free crust and wicked good salad for the appetizer! Very cautious - uses tin foil on pizza plates and seperate brick oven to prevent contamination! I also love how they try to source as locally as possible.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gf pizza and beer

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The crust is some of the best GF crust I've had, and the kitchen and staff are aware of Celiac and food preparation. They have a separate station for making the GF flatbreads, and they wrap the crust in tin foil before putting it in the brick oven. They are as cautious as can be. That being said, this place is not safe for anyone with Celiac. There is flour everywhere, the brick oven is small and shared with regular flatbreads/pizzas. It's just not possible to avoid. The staff is great and they have the knowledge and commitment, but if you have Celiac you shouldn't eat here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Flatbreads always my go-to regardless of location. It's not an Udi's shell which most cop-out places use because it's easy--don't get me wrong I use it at home but that defeats the purpose of going out. Always prepped in a separate location to not cross contaminate. Cooked on foil but still get that wood fired flavor. And cut with a separate cutter. Love it there!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The "flatbread" is ok. Would not go out of my way to get it again. Went only because folks in my group wanted Pizza. There are a lot of very good restaurants in Portsmouth that are accommodating and have a more interesting menu selections.

But if you have concerns about cross contamination, they do control that very carefully.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have celiac and have eaten here several times with no ill-effects. Each time I go I explain that I have celiac and tell them I need them to be very careful when prepping my pizza. The crust comes in its own pan already so the crust doesn't actually ever touch the oven or the counter. They also use separate utensils. And they even have Green's Amber Ale GF beer (best tasting GF beer IMO)!

Too much flour in the air apparently as we got sick from the GF pizza. Bummer, since it tastes good!

Expensive, but good food. Some of the better gf crust in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I agree with the reviewer who said there is too much flour flying in the air to be safe. Even though they prepare the pizza in a separate room, I've seen them carry the uncovered pizza by the area where they are flipping dough on the way to the oven. It tastes good, but too often is burnt.

Celiac friendly?

No

Allergy friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The best gluten free pizza I have ever had. The service was great and the atmosphere was awesome.

Celiac friendly?

No

I love their GF pizza!!! They have really good salads as well.

Delicious pizza with awesome crust, but an extra $4.50 for gluten free crust hikes the price up quite a bit! Worth a stop if you're craving normal tasting pizza!

while they do make an effort to avoid cross-contact, there is simply too much flour in the air to be safe for Celiac. visiting when it first opens so that there is less flour in the air may help.

Celiac friendly?

No

Love Flatbread in Portland & this place is also very great about being gluten free! Amazing pizza & the goat cheese salad is my absolute favorite!

super great flatbread dough with a wide variety of toppings. so amazing and they cook it on a different platter and above the gluten pizzas. dessert was great too!

I will admit that I was terrified I was going to be sick here after watching them prep all of the non-GF pizzas and seeing how much flour is flying around. My pizza was prepped in the back and came out separately, and I did not end up sick! The crust was delicious and the pizza was actually a full sized pizza. Waiter was able to answer questions about whether certain sauces and toppings were gluten free

I get really nervous about pizza because there’s so much room for cross contact but server explained that they prep the pizzas in a separate area and they are cooked above the gluten free pizzas on individual pans and they use dedicated tools. I did not have any reaction and pizza was really good (and nice to have a full size pie even if a small upcharge from the regular dough). Had a salad here too that was very fresh. Would recommend.
