Review


My husband and I split the GF pizza, and the other members of our party were splitting two normal pizzas. When they brought them out, the waitress was carrying two pizzas in one arm—my GF one UNDER a regular one. Another waitress carried one of the regular pizzas by itself—it would have been so easy for one to carry just mine and not try to carry both. I was somewhat concerned, but we were with family and I didn’t want to make a scene. My husband ate the side that had been closest to the other pizza. Within 20 minutes I was having intense abdominal pain, and headed to the restroom. It is a single stall and there was someone ahead of me. I ended up running out the front of the store and to Pier One next door. This is one of the most violent gluten reactions I have ever had—like food poisoning, but my husband ate the same thing I did and was completely fine. I am shocked because their reviews on here are fantastic, so maybe it was just an off night, but I am still very sick. Their food handling practices fell far short of what I would normally expect to see in an establishment rated so highly on here.
