Dough was ok, but the salad and toppings lacked flavor and were just not good unfortunately. What a disappointment. $4 extra for a GF crust. Don’t waste your time.

If your gluten sensitive, the gluten-free pizza is good it’s prepared separately but if you have true celiac dx, the pizza is cooked in same oven. Massive cross contamination, I have celiac dx and got really sick after eating there

This pizza is so good! We have been to both locations in Lexington and both are excellent. Sometimes yes, the crust can get a little burnt-ish, but honestly, is so stinky good it's hard to care. Do call ahead, because they only prepare a certain number of gluten free crusts everyday and it's good to make sure they don't run out.

Best gf pizza in Lexington!! Wood-fired with fluffy crust, the Margherita pizza with smashed sauce is my favorite.

The pizzas are quite tasty. My wife and daughter who are gluten intolerant, did not have any reaction either time we visited. The crusts came out slightly burnt on the edges, bit it didn't detract from how tasty the food was.

The staff seemed rather knowledgeable about the handling of th GF pizzas and made sure to specify they were GF crusts when we picked them up. This is some of the best if not the best gluten free pizza we have had.

From a gluten-free perspective, my wife is is sensitive did not have any reaction. However we ordered 3 pizzas only 1 was gluten free and the crust came out extremely dark/burnt.

Pizza had a chewy crust and ingredients were fresh they were very sparse. I had basil on my pizza and there was one small piece on each triangle slice. The other two pizzas were not much different on the ingredients.

The manager was extremely helpful in ordering gluten free items. They completely accommodated all of my dietary needs! Absolute BEST pizza I have had since being diagnosed celiac in 2013. Fresh made crust, not the tasteless rice out of a bag crust, homemade sauce and salad dressing. Highly recommend!!!!!

Smashing Tomato has been my favorite pizza place since I moved to the area. I was devastated when I had to adopt a gluten free diet because I didn’t know they had GF pizza. They do. It’s amazing. It tastes the same as their regular pizza. I’ve been to New York and Chicago and I’ve had pizza from all over. Smashing Tomato is my all-time favorite.

Fresh made GF crust that was so delicious we had to double check that it was gluten free! They have a dedicated area for GF meal prep, I have an allergy and had no reaction after eating the pizza.

The gf pizza dough is good in that it is very neutral tasting, so the ingredients on the pizza take over as they should. Very nice manager did tell me they do not have a dedicated space, so celiacs beware. Lots of pizza options and two sauce options.

They do in house made gluten free dough - Richmond road location only. They have two set of topping that they guarantee are gluten free. Pizza was pretty good. Topping we're really fresh and flavorful.
