Hate to be this person but Honestly really disappointed. I don’t really get to enjoy pizza often so I attempt to rationalize treating myself to a 30+ $ pizza every once in a while. Ordered GF buff Cauliflower, paid 2.50 for xtra cauliflower, 1.00 for dairy free cheese, 1.50 for arugula, and 1.50 for caramelizad onion. All of these (excluding the cheese) are supposed to be additional to the ingredients included on the pizza… instead I received the normal sad amount of Buffalo cauliflower, no red onion, no parsley (ingredients listed on menu)- both of which appear to have been replaced by my additions. The guy working the front tried to rectify the Buffalo cauliflower addition by putting some in the oven on tin foil - but I didn’t see him use gloves or take any other precautions - and the tin foil that touched surfaces with gluten was then balled in on itself before being handed to me. I don’t want to be annoying or unappreciative of his efforts so I just kind of gave up - only to go home and discover the other ingredients missing and the dough not even cooked through💔

Feels dumb to be emotional over food but when restaurant options are already so limited / expensive due to dietary restrictions you can’t help but feel like crying as you sit there with your overpriced pizza, throw out the assumed contaminated stuff, and pray you don’t get sick.

Update : reacted poorly to the pizza. Spare yourself and your bank account.
