Tested our takeaway GF pizzas with the Nima sensor and it all came back positive! Pizza was very good for gluten free.

I called first and spoke to the manager about their procedures for GF prep and baking of pizzas. She was knowledgeable and answered in detail about the separate food cart for safe toppings, separate oven for GF pizzas only, and what pizzas and toppings could be done celiac-safely. Dough for both kinds of pizza are not made in house, and they are rolled out with corn meal. My daughter enjoyed her pizza and felt well afterward. We will return here.

Best gluten free pizza I’ve had eating out so far! The crust was thin, and nothing special, but the sauce and toppings were AMAZING. I haven’t had any reaction to it. Absolutely delicious! They offered a GF flour crust and a cauliflower crust option. I had the GF flour crust.

They offer gluten free pizza that is pretty good. Lots of options for toppings. As a celiac, I have eaten here a few times now and have not gotten sick. They bake the pizza on a baking pan instead of directly onto the oven surface. They are familiar with celiac and gluten free. My Nima sensor did not detect gluten in the Pizza that was ordered from the gluten safe menu.

This pizza was AMAZING, I got the signature "Kosmic Karma" on their GF crust. I was told that their GF pizzas are prepared in a designated space and baked in a dedicated oven (very impressive). It's a busy (and loud) restaurant so of course I was a little nervous but Nima Sensor assuaged my worries with no gluten detected.

My son is Celiac and I am gluten sensitive and we had a great experience here. The gluten free pizza is certified and baked in a separate area and it is delicious. My son had the cheese, I had the Veg with vegan cheese and my husband had the House Special and they were all delicious. We were with a big party and the service and the ambiance was terrific. Highly recommend!

Eaten there a few times and it was good. However, one time they brought me the wrong crust (not gluten-free). I didn't realize it until after I had taken a bite. 😠🤢

We intentionally waited about 5 months for this location to work out the new restaurant kinks to avoid risk of contamination. No worries - food was delicious and my little celiac daughter didn’t have any ill effects. We all had gluten free cheese pizzas and house salad.

Ordered the certified gluten free house pizza. The crust is not my favorite there is a lot of room for improvement there but the toppings are good. Except for the ground beef it had no flavor. If you aren’t picky and just want an option it’s a fine choice.

My go to for rice free / gluten free pizza. It’s always marked separately. I always get the House Special. I’ve never gotten sick and ordered over 20x. Crust isn’t to die for but the toppings quality is great. Much more cost effective than other GF pizza options in comparison to quality
