Shakespeare's Pizza - Downtown

Shakespeare’s Pizza is one of my favorite places in Columbia. The staff does an amazing job making sure to change their gloves and clean surfaces before prepping food, plus their pizza is delicious!

Our son has Celiac, and no matter how hard we ask them to make a non cross - contaminated pizza, they can’t do it. After getting glutened 3 times, we gave up. We assume that there is just too much flour floating around the kitchen, and after talking to the manager they said we probably shouldn’t eat there. Bummer.

Outstanding! Best pizza I have had in YEARS! Staff was knowledgeable and cut my pie with a clean pizza cutter. I didn't even have to ask!

Very good food. I had the Mac n cheese with steak. If you have never been definitely give it a try.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gf pizza is yummy and our Celiac daughter never feels bad after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I see that other people on here love this gluten free crust, but I think it's terrible. It's soft and chewy. I regularly attend events where gluten free Shakespeare's is provided and bring my lunch every time instead of eating it.

OMG--One of the best gluten free crusts I've had! So light and crispy that my husband thought it tasted like the gluten crust he used to have here during his Ph.D. days here at the university. We were just driving through on our way home to Chicago and I'm so sad we live 371 miles away!

Best gluten free pizza. So good. And the employees are careful and they know about celiac disease. No reaction to pizza and I'm super sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They make gluten free pizzas in the same room they make regular pizza.. You can breath flour in the air of the room when you walk in. Don't think they can avoid the cross contamination there.

Celiac friendly?

No

Love this place! And they know what gluten allergy means.
