The Bear Street Tavern

I'm shocked this place has good taste ratings. The regular and gf pizzas were not good. All of the toppings were bland and the crust was soggy on top, causing the toppings to fall off. I have a lot more to say, but really this is just one those old pizza crusts that were exciting to find 10 years ago. It doesn't live up to today's standards.

The overall safety is very high. The servers were very knowledgeable and careful.

Ate here twice during my trip. Ordered gf pizza - servers were knowledgeable and helpful with clarification about food prep and safe options. Lots of menu options. Pizza prepped separately. All topping options are gf. Separate oven and separate pizza cutter. Gf pizza crust was a rice flour - it was okay. Not the best I've had but also not the worst. Felt comfortable and confident with ordering and eating here. Would return and eat gf pizza here again.

They no longer have gluten free pizza crust. I was thoroughly disappointed after reading all the great reviews and the wait staff appeared very new and unaware of the importance of GF food. I did end up having the Thai Green Curry which was really good. Just not the pizza I was craving from the other reviews.

I guess we were hoping for better based on previous reviews…We tried the salt and pepper gf wings and a gf pizza. We sent the worst ha back after finding some raw spots and the pizza was not memorable at all for me…

I had the nachos as a main. They are gluten free but do come with green spring onion which I have an intolerance to so be aware. Food was very tasty but my stomach did react to them - can’t say what caused it however.

One of the best restaurant GF Pizza I've had outside of Italy. Very very good. spinach and artichoke dip was also GF and good. They take allergies seriously, I told them I have celiac / gluten allergy and each of my dishes came out with an allergy sticker, and they cook the pizza in a seperate dish/area. Didn't get sick and it was delicious

Best gf pizza around and checked cooking methods to make sure safe! I eat here at least once a month for the half price pizza on Mondays. Menu clearly labelled and every server I have had here is great.

Went on a Monday for half price pizza night (4-5 different pizzas were half off, half off price was calculated before the gluten free up charge) and some of the best pizza I've had in awhile!

Also had wings that were great. Gluten free options marked on the menu

Delicious gf pizza crusts! Lots of options that were safe, and my gluten free pizza came out marked as gluten free, which helped me to be confident about the kitchen practices. Gf beers also available (although I had a cider)

Awesome experience! Staff was very conscientious about GF needs. We had the spinach dip for an appetizer and then the Big Bird pizza. Both were delicious! Enjoyed the Hard Rootbeer bevie. Highly recommend! Food came marked with a sticker acknowledging they took precautions I do have celiac and would eat here again!

Pizza is good. Gluten free crust is great and they are very safe with allergies.

The pizza and nachos are good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had the pulled pork nachos and 4 different pizzas. They all came tagged GF. We enjoyed the big Bird pizza most. The pork with BBQ pizza was good, but it isn't a traditional BBQ sauce. It tasted more like tomato sauce. We went twice and didn't get sick .

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Felt so happy eating here!! My daughter has Celiac and we ordered a pizza and nachos. Waitress said they would wipe the counters and handle gf. Then when our meal came out, there were stickers on the handles that stated they took extra caution to handle allergies and cross contamination. Thank you BST for the extra TLC!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good gluten free pizza and sandwich options, however when my pizza was brought to me I asked “this is the gluten free crust, right?” as I always do and I was told “yes.” I began eating it and then someone came back to the table to tell me that it actually wasn’t the gluten free crust. Not sure where the error occurred, but they did bring me a new gf pizza and it was pretty good! I’d just triple check next time

based on reviews on here and seeing 100% of votes said it was celiac safe we decided to try it for lunch. this place is definitely not celiac safe as they make their own pizza dough on site (pizza is their specialty ) and so flour is in the air. we ate lunch here and it was ok, daughter wouldn't eat her meal (not a picky eater at all but said it was not good). rest of us shared the nachos as the said they were gf. they were ok but I ended up in the bathroom for the afternoon and evening after feeling ill.

Celiac friendly?

No

Had the Caesar salad (no croutons), the wings and the Hawaiian pizza with the gluten free crust. Everything was delicious. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable and warned me of gluten ingredients.

Their gluten free pizza is a nice thin crust and delicious. They offer a honey chile rosemary oil to dip your pizza in that is unique and tastey. They have gluten free beer too. It's very busy!

Really yummy gf pizza and not your average flavors. I highly recommend their bison pizza.

Excellent service and GF pizza!

Delicious gluten free pizza!

The gluten free pizza was excellent! Had the choice of most pizzas, wings and nachos. My non-gf husband loved it too. They use a separate oven, pan, and knife in the kitchen. Knowledge server.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious gluten free pizza. Lots of options for toppings.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I really enjoyed this restaurant. They did not have a dedicated menu but the waitress was very knowledgeable and informed the kitchen of my severe sensitivity. The food was excellent and I had a hard time not eating too much. The waitress was very friendly and kept my food issues in mind with everything she said. The hostess was not terribly friendly, sort of a little grumpy really, but all and all it was a great experience.
