Considering my jet picked me up and my African American limo driver who calls me sir drove me to this restaurant after I said "you know the spot" I thought I'd have a better experience. First of all the owner greets us and says my table is ready. Can you say creepy? Then for no reason at all he's lurking between me and my girlfriend, man handling these tomatoes and starts ranting about some 30 year olds fresh ingredients as he holds up his grimey tomatoe like he's the Hamlet of pizza.

Then I got the runs. https://youtu.be/JA5pOoeUQTc here's my experience cought on camera.

Last time I went here I had a very bad celiac reaction. I’m not sure if they messed up my order, but I wouldn’t risk it

While nothing can compare to their traditional pizza (deep dish and thin crust), their GF pizza is not bad. Can get a little greasy.

Got extremely sick from the gf pizza from the Glen Ellyn location. Had an opportunity to try the Giordano's at another location but was told by a server that they don't recommend the gf pizza for people with Celiac because of cross contamination. Giordano's is now on my Do Not Eat list.

Called to order and staff was not knowledgeable at all. They actually said the only thing that they had that was gluten free was the pizza crust and cheese nothing else. Hmmm... Did not want to be bothered

Worst Gluten-free pizza I have had in years, I felt like I was back in the the beginning of my diagnosis again and gf pizza was new... The waitress was not knowledgeable about gluten and after waiting almost an hour for the pizza it was not edible, I would not subject my dog to this pizza although I did ask my dad (not gf) to try it and he had the same opinion. The waitress asked how everything was and we let her know it was an awful pizza and she responded with " that stinks you didnt like your pizza, I'll get you your check" $35 - for a pizza that was not edible. Highly recommend somewhere else.

Staff was attentive. Had GF pizza. Crust was gross, obviously a frozen variety. Big mistake! Nausea, bloating, and joint pain tell me there was contamination. Don’t bother!

I went here with work friends because I had read a previous review saying they would cook gf pasta separately. They told me they do not do that and couldn’t because all pasta is made in the same water. As a true celiac that wouldn’t work for me, so my entire party had to leave so I could eat. Not gluten friendly - unless you want a plain salad.

Had the gluten free Penne Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. Was great, pasta cooked perfectly. I asked before I ordered and was assured pasta would be cooked in clean water as some places cook the gluten free noodles in the same water as regular pasta.
