Review


I live near here and was happy to find a GF pizza restaurant. We ordered a GF crust onion and mushroom pizza, essentially the $15 basic mozzarella pizza with two $1 toppings. The crust came out white in color, but was crispy and chewy. The pizza was very low on sauce and there were a few mushrooms and onions scattered about. Overall it was underwhelming. I could almost describe it as a focaccia bread with some light toppings. I think this basic pizza would be fine for kids, but if you are looking for a greater taste experience, plan on spending more on extras to enhance the flavor.

The staff was very attentive and friendly, one member even chasing me into the parking lot to thank me for coming, which I certainly will in search of more flavor.

I did not meet the owners, so I didn't get a detailed description of the safety they put into GF. Previous reviews were so good I was quite confident and didn't inquire.
