One of my go to places when I visit my KY family. I love the pizza crust and even though they don’t have a separate menu they know about GF issues.

Ordered the gluten free Kosmic Karma and it was delicious! The gluten free crust only comes in size small but it’s got a good flavor.

Ordered a pizza for curbside. They are still following strict GF protocols and didn't have any issues.

Great place to grab GF pizza and drinks. Pizza small but tastes decent. I was told the GF pizzas are prepared in a separate area, but they go in the same oven on a metal pan (mine was on top rack), if that matters to you. GF beer and cider available.

I’m a celiac (also no dairy or soy) and got really excited when I saw all of the GF and DF options on their menu. My waitress asked if I would need my pizza prepared in a separate space and everything! However, I still felt a little weird after I left so I’m not going to call this one 100% safe.

Have gone twice, delicious both times and felt good after. A gluten eating family member tried my pizza and liked it better than their own!

They consistently messed up my pizza ... For a while this was only pizza place with a decent crust . They messed up my pizza every time.... The last time it literally looked like they just threw everything on my pizza and even used the hot chili sauce instead of marinara for the base sauce on my pizza... It was ridiculous. Never going there again, not worth the price.

They grab toppings from dedicated freezer in the back of the store. As long as they understand that you have celiac and need to be this careful, you will be fine. Love this place.

They changed their crust awhile back and now the GF pizza is outstanding!! I just hope they play with making other foods GF, like the calzones.

The pizza really wasn't bad--it's just that it's pre-cooked, so you'll usually either get undercooked toppings or an overcooked crust. The crust was both dry and sponge-y; paired with barely-melted cheese, very little sauce, and warm toppings (we got the Supreme, I think), it was not very tasty.

I had it again at work a little while later. This time I requested the one with the pesto swirl; I think it's called Cosmic Karma? Not sure, but it was much tastier. The strong flavor of the pesto helped mask the blandness of the crust, and it helped that I wasn't missing HOT tomato sauce.

It's worth trying.

Honestly, my gluten-free pizza was gross AND it made me sick. Not worth it.

Great GF pizza! Finding a parking spot can be a bit of a hassle, but the GF pizza and the service are worth it.

Their pizza is certified GF and they use a separate oven. The pizza is always delicious and I eat here every month. I always have the mushroom pizza.

The waitress said they prepare the pizza separately but it's cooked in the same oven. She then proceeds to bring out my gf pizza sitting between my family's regular pizza. Not only that, it took nearly 1 hour (54 minutes to be exact) to get this food out on a Tuesday afternoon. There was maybe 6 tables total in the restaurant.

I didn't eat. Can't trust a pizza she piled regular pizza on top of

Excellent! No issues with mighty meaty pizza. I order through UberEats, but call store to verify. Always good! I also get no cheese (dairy free. Gluten free).
