I felt pretty safe here. Not sure about the pizza safety, but I ordered the elevated Cobb salad and made sure they changed their gloves/ prepared it in a separate area than the pizzas. I didn’t get sick and the waitress even brought out the ranch dressing container to show me it was gluten free. Just make sure to clearly communicate your allergy.

I felt very comfortable with the safety measures for gluten but the pizza was definitely sub-par. It’s definitely not my first choice but they are very proactive and knowledgeable.

Have separate menu to order on grub hub for gluten free so that’s nice. Food looked ok, not many toppings, and was almost ice cold when we receive it. Ordered @7:02 and delivered @8:30

They handle celiac and gluten free very well. They have GF items clearly marked on their menu. The staff is knowledgeable about celiac, gluten free, cross contamination, etc.

My family and I love this place! I am a sensitive celiac and so is my son and neither one of us had a reaction after eating here. The waitress was well versed on celiac and I also have a dairy allergy. I ended up getting a small Holy Shitake pizza without cheese and butter and with vegan cheese and gluten crust. My son got a pepperoni pizza with gluten free crust. The pizza's were both cooked in a separate dedicated oven.

I visited Mellow Mushroom in August and the pizza was HORRENDOUS -- dough was thick and tasteless, toppings were sparse. However, since then they have more than fixed whatever was wrong with the dough (pizzas are now thin crust and delicious!). My only issue is with the pricing and rigid sizing ($20 for a medium size pizza, which I can never eat all of), but to be honest buying a personal size frozen pizza from the grocery store costs about half that and is nowhere near as good. Also, they are celiac friendly and always very helpful! They will go out of their way to make sure you are happy with what you received!

The waiter was very understanding about separate pizza cutters, slice servers, etc. He made me feel like the extra work for GF was no big deal. A BIG + in my eyes. The crust was a little softer than I like, but still pretty good.

I ordered the 12inch gluten free pizza without cheese, caramelized onions, black olives and mushrooms. The pizza was ok and not my favorite dough made from sorghum, amaranth, teff and tapioca flour blend plus xanthum gum as it was a bit chewy. The Angry Orchard cider was good and the service was good too.

Went here with my GF kiddo. The staff was very friendly. Let the server know about the celiac. Told us which of the pizzas were GF. Kiddo decided on plain cheese. We were told they changed gloves, separate oven, etc., for gf. Good experience!
