The food we received was good, but we waited over 30 minutes after everyone else was served. Finally, we just gave up. Concerned about cross-contamination as there were "new people" in the kitchen hence the missing food.

This place used to be quite good, but I think it switched hands. The pizza doesn't taste the same! Contamination is also a serious risk. A very small building with wheat flour floating in the air. If you are highly allergic or symptomatic celiac I would avoid this restaurant.

They do have great salads, full bar, and a friendly staff. The ventilation of this building is also very poor.

The GF pizza was absolutely delicious!! I did not get nauseous or sick afterwards. Took a little bit to get our food but that was because they only had one server for the whole place….its a must try if in Helen!

This place is a GEM. The staff is amazing, the crust is nice and fluffy, and you can even get a large gluten free pizza!!!!! I was tempted to get a huge one only because it was the first pizza place that didn’t only offer single pizzas! I got the Mona Lisa, and it was fabulous. I usually get symptoms about 3 hours after… it’s been 5 hours and I’m sO GOOD! 2838/10 would recommend.

Probably the best gf pizza I’ve ever had. I had the white pizza and added anchovies. It was out of this world! Didn’t get sick at all. Excellent beer selection for the hubs. I loved the real tavern atmosphere. Service was excellent. Will go back every time I’m on vacation in N. Georgia.

As a celiac, seeing all of the pizza dough tossed in the air behind the bar, I was skeptical. I ordered a 14” GF specialty pizza (one of the chicken based pizzas with a ranch/balsamic sauce). I usually only eat pizza at Mellow Mushroom, but I didn’t have a choice due to our trip. I am very sensitive ( symptoms starting in less than 2 hours) to gluten, but I have had no problems so far (4 hours later)! I promised myself I would write a review if I didn’t have any symptoms later in the evening. Seems like a great/safe place for celiacs in the area!

The GF pizza was so so so good! They actually have 2 different sizes and the specialty pizzas aren't that much more. We had a basic pepperoni pizza for the kids and a specialty for me... both were delicious. The server was very friendly.

My husband and SIL both have celiac disease and are very sensitive to any contamination. We are local and eat here all the time because the food is great and also safe for them to eat. Highly recommend for those looking for gluten free pizza. Their salads are delicious too.

Was excited to visit once I read the reviews. When I arrived, I was told the opposite of the reviews and there was only one thing that was gluten free. I thought I would be safe with the spinach salad. However, when the salad came out it was handed off by someone who had flour all over him and his apron. I was sick about two hours later. It’s hard to have a gluten-free menu when everyone there was covered in flour. Just be careful.

The pizza was amazing!! The staff was knowledgeable. It did take a while to get our food so give time for that, but it was worth the wait!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was in town for the weekend and ate here twice! I had a Popeye's the 1st visit and a Junker the 2nd. Both were fantastic and I bought the large the 2nd visit so I would have some left over for breakfast!! The staff was knowledgeable and provided great service. The pizza crust was really good, light, crispy and it was hands down the best g/free pizza I've had since being dx'd 6 years ago!! I will definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

LOVED this place! After a long day of jeeping we were happy to have some pizza and beer! I was so excited to hear they had a gf safe pizza to eat. I am celiac and after talking to our server and him taking to the kitchen they have knowledge about CC. I got the 14 in cheese pizza with roaster garlic (Yummmm), roasted onion and mushrooms. I will certainly be coming back when I'm the area! Plus, they had Redbrjdge beer!
