Punch Pizza

Don’t eat the gluten free pizza if you have an allergy or even intolerance. I got very sick

Look at the warning on their menu under the GF crust: “Please note: this crust is not safe for those who have severe gluten allergies because our kitchen environment has wheat fire in the air and all pizzas are cooked in the same oven.”

Ate there yesterday and have since learned (from other sources and Punch themselves) that wood fire pizzas are NOT safe for celiacs. There’s a huge risk of cross contamination and I am feeling it now.

Not celiac since cooked in same wood fired oven but if you just have a sensitivity... this is the absolute best GF pizza we’ve found in the country.

The pizza is delicious! However they openly admit that they use the same oven for all pizza. If you aren't severely allergic, this will probably be okay. But otherwise, the salads are GF (I believe) as long as you say no foccacia. If you tell the cashier you are Celiac/GF they will help you with what you can and can't have!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved the pizza but it didn't love me. I've eaten here many times, but it always makes me sick. They don't stop cross contamination, all pizzas cook on the same surface.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place is great. The food is excellent and the service is always good. The business is Celiac Friendly. Their pizza is amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Made me nervous because the regular pizza flour is everywhere - hard to say because I was visiting and had already gotten sick so felt pretty bad all weekend, also pizza had little flavor

Addictingly delicious, unfortunately I got extremely sick after eating there as there is no protection against cross contamination, which they will freely admit. So if you have even a slight allergy, DO NOT eat here, if it's just a preference and a handful of flour won't bother you then by all means, enjoy some of the best pizza in the twin cities!

Celiac friendly?

No

Loved it! It always makes me feel better when they ask if it's an allergy or preference. This and Pig Ate My Pizza are probably the best GF crusts in the twin cities.

Best GF crust I have ever had.

Best pizza I have ever had gf or not but I am concerned about cross contamination as there is flour everywhere!

Their wood fired GF Pizza is excellent. They have procedures to reduce the chance of cross contamination although the GF pizza is cooked in the same oven and they do make pizza dough there. The wood firing makes some of the best GF pizza I ever tasted.

We ordered a gluten free/ dairy free vegan pizza. The staff was very attentive to my needs and took extra precautions. We will definitely return!

best gluten free pizza hands down. they are always sold out of gluten free crust at night so I recommend going in the afternoon. I dont have reactions to small bits of cross contamination (if any) so I have no problem with it being in the same oven, they put the pizza on a separate plate while cooking in the oven to avoid contamination

They make their own thin crust. It is a cross between a cracker and a pita. Don’t bother with the cheese bread, it’s dry. Pizza was okay. Fresh ingredients. Brick oven flavor was nice.
