I love la bicyclette but I’d hardly call if super gluten free friendly they have a fairly limited menu and very little is gluten free. Last time not wanting a $60 steak I ended up with a salad and a side of Brussels sprouts. Now both were delicious but felt kinda limited. Gluten free pizza kinda sucks and i believe it’s from the same oven anyway

We had the pizza and it was really good! No complaints about the crust. They also have some good appetizers. Pasta isn’t gluten free.

Our server was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options they had and could answer our questions about the allergy. Almost everything on their entree menu, with the exception of pasta, could be made gluten free. I got a gluten free margarita pizza and it was amazing! They changed gloves and used a separate cooking plate in the oven. The server also let us know that I couldn’t have the fries that come with the steak someone else at the table ordered, and since we wanted to share, she changed what came with it, and instead brought sautéed veggies.

The gluten free pizza crust was not edible. I could barely chew it. When I told the waitress she said, yeah, that happens. Salad was good though.

Everyone was lovely and we ordered our pizza to go so we did not see how it was prepared. We ordered the mushroom pizza with truffle oil. Absolutely delicious but couldn’t tell if it was the richness of the truffle oil or if we were glutened. I would not recommend for Celiac

The food was so delicious, but I have gotten sick eating here when I ordered the gluten free pizza. I have a feeling their cross contamination practices aren’t where they need to be. I did go back a second time and ordered the eggplant dish- never got sick eating that- I assume since it wasn’t pizza there was less cross contamination.

I really wanted to like this restaurant based on the reviews. I watched them improperly make my gluten free pizza. Using the same ladle and sauce as all of the regular pizzas. Then they cut it with the same pizza cutter. Nima came back with gluten found. I asked to try a different dish, Osso Bucco, that was guaranteed gluten free directly by the chef. Came back as gluten found again. I decided to cut my losses and left hungry. :-/

Pizza crust wasn’t pre frozen, but made by hand at restaurant. Thin crust, but very good. Wait staff was nice.

The pizza was good, but to avoid cross contamination they cook the crust in a dedicated cast iron pan, which makes the crust a little soft. But super tasty.
