Dedicated GF part of kitchen; pizza comes clearly boxed separately to the table. Servers always make a note and take extra care. We love!

Staff is very knowledgeable of celiac. They also have a choice of certified gluten free toppings. The pizza was great, and I highly recommend it.

I ordered wings and later found out they had gluten in them, so got very sick. The reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the manager mailed me a gift card and refunded me and was very apologetic, so I understand it was a sincere mistake. Nonetheless, disapppiinted

I order gluten and dairy free pizza from here almost every week. They have dedicated space and the workers always know which toppings cannot be added (if they are not available in the dedicated gluten free space, like pineapple unfortunately!) I have never had an issue.

They are very conscious of cross contamination and have a separate area for cooking and preparing pizzas, however, that is the only safe thing you can get there for sure and I think the crust tastes absolutely terrible especially for the price. You are better off buying a frozen pizza and cooking it yourself in your own oven.

Forget being gluten free, if you don’t want food poisoning don’t eat here!! I couldn’t even get a refund after puking my guts out from their gluten free pizza. Response to a yelp review asked me to email, but my email got no response. They don’t care about food safety, nevertheless allergies.

As long as you order off the gluten free toppings you should be fine! They even brought my pizza out in a box! First time ever not getting sick from gluten free pizza at a restaurant.

Great pizza, albeit incredibly overpriced. Usually only has one cider on draft, and it's been a pear one (ew) for the last month. Wings, portobello mushroom, and salads are all safe options if you're not in the mood for pizza.

The gluten-free crust is just ok. For whatever reason, they put much less sauce on the gf pizza than regular. I ordered Daiya cheese due to dairy intolerance, and it was incredibly scant. This chain does seem to have a good handle on cross-contamination, and there are quite a few gf toppings to choose from.

Waiter was super knowledgeable. Marked all our GF food and took precautions to make sure no cross contamination. Made pizza in a separate location, switched gloves and utensils and a different waiter brought the GF pizza out separately from the other food. Our celiac daughter said it was the best pizza ever and she didn’t get sick!
