The pizza itself was quite good. The crust was just okay though and this does NOT merit a $ rating. My 10" pizza cost $14.50, and the service was very slow - we waited 30 minutes for our food.

Tried the New York style gluten free pizza. While it tasted better than the average gluten free pizza (which isn't saying much), I believe it is because the crust was super thin and the taste was dominated by the numerous toppings that comes with the New York style. In general, not bad but $17.28 (13 for the pizza +3 for the crust +tax) for what was at most a 10" pizza is very expensive. This doesn't include any tips or drinks. That said, there is a gluten free menu and the taste/environment seemed pleasant.

Very good pizza! Crust is fine (reminds me of frozen premade crust, but it works and the flavors of the rest of the pizza make it worth it). Menu has integrated GF symbols and they will prep it separately if you tell them you have an allergy.

I hosted my rehearsal dinner for my wedding here with 30 people. We set the menu ahead of time and everything was delicious! The GF pizza crust was thin, but surprisingly flavorful! Everyone's favorite pizza was the BBQ chicken, and the BBQ sauce was also GF. The salads were excellent. Service was attentive, but they did make a small mistake with checks that we managed to sort out. Would definitely go back!

French fries are made in a dedicated frier. They made our son a special meal of chicken breast and rice and were very careful and helpful with cross contamination. Super helpful, very safe, and good food

NOT CELIAC SAFE!! They make and cook the pizza on all shared surfaces so that is immediately out. They didn’t take me seriously when I told them I was celiac and needed them to change gloves/clean workstation/use non-gluten utensils. In fact, the waiter rolled his eyes. But I was there for a work lunch, so I just got one of the gf salads. And I am SO sick. I still have stomach cramps and diarrhea days later. It feels like I just straight up ate gluten. Would not recommend.

They do prevent cross contamination multiple different ways. Crust is pretty thin. We modified the BBQ pizza on the menu a bit. It was super yummy. They have several other options on the menu now that are GG besides the pizza, but we only had the pizza. They made us a gf version of the apple pie pizza. I do not recommend that. It was difficult to eat. All the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Nice, slightly upscale, elegant, but relaxed ambience. I would come again, and do recommend it.
