Pie Five Pizza Co.

This location appears to have just recently closed. Was great for our gluten free child. Dedicated sauce container, individually wrapped crust. Employees well trained. The crust only comes in full size and is a $2 add on so is a little expensive for a child.

I had at least four pizzas while in the area for a conference... ALL delicious!

if you've never been, it's very similiar to a Subway or Chipolte where you order and build going down the line.

They change gloves and alert everyone handling the pizza to the allergy. They do mention on their menu that cross contamination is unavoidable, but their care and alerts left me with no ill effects.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gf crust and they are really conscious about changing gloves and utensils- many gf toppings.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We go here all the time. LOVE IT! Gluten free pizza is amazing. Workers always change their gloves. Packaged separately. Dedicated utensils.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They changed gloves, had separate utensils on the front end. Cross contamination with all toppings and when they took off the rack. I'm sure I'm glutened, but hopefully I don't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

The pizza crust was delicious, all toppings are gluten free except the meatballs and Alfredo sauce. The servers put on new gloves, fresh cutting board and pizza cutter. They were happy to help!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Okay, so the pizzas are okay for what they are - they use Smart Flour crusts (same as Mellow Mushroom but smaller), and most of the toppings are gluten-free (meatballs aren't GF). However, I can't recommend this place for anyone on a strict gluten-free diet (i.e. celiacs) because there's so much cross-contamination potential with the other crusts stored in the same area as the GF ones.

If you're not a celiac and can deal with some CC risk, then Pie Five is very, very convenient. Personally, I haven't gotten sick here. I can't say it's 100% celiac friendly, though.

Celiac friendly?

No

I can't comment on the food because I didn't wind up eating there. I walked in and looked at the menu- it said they had a gluten-free crust, but there was nothing that indicated which ingredients were safe. I checked their online menu and saw the disclaimer that specifically said that "Pie Five DOES NOT recommend this pizza for customers with celiac disease or gluten allergies." So I left. Their food might be fantastic but they are clearly not offering a safe dining experience for those of us with medical issues.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have not had any bad reactions here yet. The crusts are wrapped, employees change utensils, seem to be very conscious of the gluten cross contamination.

Wife had bed reaction later in the evening. Pizza is cooked in oven with gluten pizzas which must have caused cross (spores) contamination

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered gluten free crust and staff took this very seriously. They changed gloves, ingredients, and made sure to use a separate part of the pizza oven. The crust was very thin but didn't have a bad taste. A standard gluten free pizza crust. Overall a good experience and no symptoms! Beware that the alfredo sauce does contain gluten.

Lady making the pizzas was fantastic and knowledgeable. Changed our every ingredient to new batch with new gloves on clean surfaces after learning it was Celiac.

They were able to change gloves, put tray down below pizza, use separate cutter, and pull toppings from another container. All staff were very kind and willing to help!

They have a GF Crust and Cauliflower Crust to pick from. They wore gloves, grabbed new ingredients, and were so nice! My pizza was delicious too! I will definitely go back!
