When I came in, I asked the server if I could speak to a manager about their gluten-free options. The manager was very knowledgeable and gave me a list of pizza toppings and specialty pizzas that were gluten-free. There was a note that if you had to eat gluten-free but wanted to risk eating a topping that wasn’t on the list, they would not cook it in the gluten-free area and risk those with severe gluten allergies or celiac disease. The manager also told me there was a separate oven just for gluten-free pizzas. I felt very safe and ended up having a Build-Your-Own-Pizza with pepperoni and sausage and a little Greek salad. The group I was with was not gluten-free but when our food came out, there was a separate server who was only holding my gluten-free food to not risk cross-contamination.

I ordered a gluten free pizza. The restaurant made sure that the cook who prepared my pizza only dealt with my pizza and nothing else. They also make sure to cook the pizza separately from the rest of the pizzas. That same cook is the one who brought my pizza to my table making sure there is very little chance of cross contamination. I eat all the time and I have not had any problems. One of the few places I will eat at.

I got sick eating here. Even if i hadn’t, the pizza wasn’t very good. Tasted like frozen crust and the toppings were over powering.

Pre-made pizza crust. Not great, pretty burnt and has little to no flavor.

We had previously been to the Mellow Mushroom in Charlottesville, VA and loved it. This location, however, changed dairy-free cheese brands to one that contains soy and we could not have. The pizzas were significantly smaller and burnt. The crust was not very good at all- very cardboard-tasting. Overall it was a very expensive, unsatisfying experience.

I had an excellent experience here today! The pizza was the best gf pizza I've had so far. Our server was excellent. I wanted to order a salad. She informed me that while the salad itself was made up of gf produce, they could not call it certified because it was not located separately in the kitchen.

Great gf pizza! The waitress specifically asked if there was an allergy as soon as I ordered. When they brought out the pizza the server still had gloves on.

Ordered the pizza to go for my son with Celiac and it was ready on time. It was separated from all the other pizzas and my son was happy. We like that they have a fairly good selection of options that are GF.

Delish pizzas- very knowledgeable staff and extra safe precautions. Fun atmosphere!! Recommended by a local Celiac for us out of towners!

So the GF pizza is okay, but the main problem is that the pizza is now smaller (down to 10"). However, it still costs the same, and combined with horribly long wait times (an hour or more), I can't recommend this. There are cheaper and better options.

This location opened recently. The staff is familiar with Celiac disease, the food options are good and most importantly, no sickness afterward :) Very fun atmosphere, too.

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
