Review of Mogio's Gourmet Pizza

Upon arrival, I asked what gluten free options they had, and if they had a separate gluten free menu. They did not have a separate menu, and the kid working the counter did not know what options they had. He said he would go get the manager, so I could discuss with him.

While we were waiting at the counter for him to return with the manager, I noticed their huge sign on the front of the counter, showing they had gluten free options, along with a huge GF symbol, with several publications/companies giving their stamp of approval.

The manager arrived, and informed me that they only have two sizes in pizza crusts that are gluten free, small and large. He went on, however, saying that none of the toppings they had are gluten free, except the veggies. This included no gluten free meats, cheeses, or sauce.

He said he could make me a gluten free pizza crust, with only veggies, if I really needed gluten free. He mentioned that he could have lied about their pizzas being gluten free, and served it anyway.

I thanked him for his honesty, but said they needed to remove all signage and listings as being gluten free. Or, they could actually serve food that was gluten free, to protect their customers.

He said he would suggest that to the owner.

This seems like it should be illegal. These are food allergies we are talking about, and willfully misrepresenting cam harm people.

We left, and went next door to Boomer Jack's, which was gluten free. However, they did have a couple of incorrect items on the menu, and the waitress was able to tell me about them not actually being gluten free.

Please do not eat at Mogio's Gourmet Pizza if you have gluten sensitivities, and definitely DO NOT eat here if you have celiac!

Even if they do get gluten free ingredients, they do not have the kitchen to do anything but cross contaminate in my opinion.

Be wary of eateries that do not have clearly marked menu's or special gluten free menus. You can always ask to inspect their kitchen and food prep areas.

My motto is, "When in doubt, walk out!"
