SQZBX Brewery & Pizza

Go for the cheesecake! The berry topping makes it amazing! I wasn’t impressed with the gf pizza: hardly any toppings and expensive. But, the cheesecake!!

Manager was helpful and responsive to my questions. She went back and forth to the kitchen more than once to ask about different cross contamination factors. They already use separate pans and the top shelf of the oven, but do not use separate sauce or toppings (they did when I asked them to) so I would definitely speak up if you have Celiac. The pizza ended up safe and actually cooked (I have been served raw dough before because of how many layers of extra pans and foil the restaurant used to prevent cross contamination). Unfortunately it was very bland. Our friends ordered a gluten pizza and reported the same. Would not return based on the taste.

They knew exactly what I needed as a celiac and did wonderful so many options like gf subs, salads, and plenty of options for pizzas I got half and half and meat head was amazing they make their pizza in house and was delicious I also got the gf cheese cake also really good very cream cheesy. Our amazing waitress Emily knew what she was talking about and we didn't have to explain anything like cross contamination 🥳

The gluten-free pizza did not appear to be as gluten-free as required for celiac. Almost certainly, cross contamination was present. Flavor good, but doesn’t make up for non-gf reaction.

I have not had real pizza in like ten years! This pizza was amazing! I was able to get a gf/df pizza that tasted like the good ol’ days! It is probably a good thing it’s 7 hours from Kansas City or I’d be here every other day. The hard cider was pretty good too.

Not certain about the behind the scenes cross contamination protocols but, as a celiac affected by cross contamination the pizza here caused no problems. Food was delicious, gf crust maybe a tad spongey but the toppings tasted really fresh! The only gf beer they had was one where they remove the gluten after its brewed (not usually celiac friendly) so we skipped on the beer.

I read the previous reviews and they may have raised my expectations too high. You can go to my account and notice I don't review much due to reviews being correct pretty much all the time but I feel like I need to for this one. The place was a true experience between the historical feel and the ability to see the brewery through glass walls. But the previous reviewers of this establishment hyped it up way too much in my opinion. The staff that we encountered were super nice and it was a pleasant eating experience but the gluten free pizza is where they lose on rating for me. The pizza was spongy to eat, not fluffy. All the toppings were the best part but they kept falling off so we had to eat it with a fork and knife. A 13 inch pepperoni pizza was $20. It may have been a one time bad experience but I also got sick from here as well. I have eaten many gluten free pizzas in my time of knowing I had Celiac disease and honestly I'd put this one down at the bottom of my gluten free pizza experiences. I'm sure their regular pizza is amazing, it looked great but as far as gluten free goes.. I would definitely work on it some more.

Pizza is NOT Celiac safe. They do NOT have a dedicated area for prepping or cooking pizza. They do take precautions, such as changing gloves, clean cutter, pan, etc. the gluten free pizza is prepped and cooked in same area as all other with pizza crusts being hand tossed and flour being tossed around. The manager was very helpful with making a safe choice. I ended up with a Greek Salad that was very good. The manager said it was prepped in a different area than pizzas and salads had its own area of toppings. I also ordered the GF cheesecake. It is made out of house and has a GF crushed ginger cookie crust and blackberry topping.

I was utterly amazed at how good this pizza was. The crust was actually doughy and soft in texture. It was, hands down, the best gf pizza I have ever had. Staff was fabulous. They even had dessert...with a crust! Menu was quite big, another pleasant surprise. I recommend SQZBX to any celiac or gluten sensitive people.

We ordered the wide load gluten free pizza. The toppings were amazing, but unfortunately the pizza was not fully done. The outside was crispy but towards the center it was very chewy/not done. It just needed a little longer in the oven. From looking around, the other gluten pizzas looked done. GF just bakes differently and chef may not be aware. The Greek salad was amazing and service was very good. Manager delivered the pizza to us, saying it was the gluten free order. The back patio was not set up for service, but when we mentioned wanting to be outside, they quickly set a table for us and were very accommodating.

Our pie would have been rated fantastic if it had been cooked a little longer. They use Caputo pizza flour which results in a great gf crust- great texture and great taste. Toppings were excellent. They are takeout only right now (covid) but anticipate being open for eat-in in a week or so.

I had an awesome vegan gluten free pizza with vegan cheese! Friendly staff and ensured my pizza was gluten free and they would do what they could to reduce cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Got the baked chicken sandwich it's so good. Erin M. Was super helpful she checked to make sure they had gluten free croutons for my salad before she sent the order in. Sandwich was great. They were out of the GF cheesecake thou.

The food is absolutely delicious. Our waitress was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the GF pizza and bread. It was absolutely one of the best GF pizzas I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend.

The kitchen and staff take great care to ensure no CC. Their gf pizza crust is great. They also have gf sandwiches and a cheesecake which is DELICIOUS!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The pizza is not celiac safe as it is baked on the same surface as the regular pizza. I had a salad and they cleaned the surfaces and changed gloves to prevent cross contamination.

Excellent 13" GF pizzas. If you have a salad, they have GF croutons made in house. GF cheesecake is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a separate gluten free menu. Appetizers, pizza, and even dessert. The crust and the pizza were amazing! Staff seemed knowledgeable

Great gluten free crust. Bonus no soybean oil! Waitstaff was nice and friendly. No reaction! A little pricey but Definitely on the return to list!

Wonderful gf pizza with vegan cheese and a neat atmosphere. They understood gf/df and has pizza topping options not typically available. I will be back!

Excellent pizza...both regular and GF. The 13” will feed one really hungry person or two light eaters. This is housemade GF CRUST, not Udis. They also have GF cheesecake. Cool vibe, funky decor. Live music. House brewed beer (not GF). But they do offer some wine and New Belgium GF beer. A nice walk from Hot Springs National Park (about .5 mile). A little off the main tourist area of Hot Springs, but well worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about gluten-free and cross contamination. The gluten free pizza is great!! I specifically asked for them to take extra precautions to make sure my pizza wasn’t cross contaminated and they did, I wasn’t sick at all.

Celiac friendly?
