Great GF pizza. Yes, they serve a lot of non-GF food but always take great care with pizza. I've never been sick here. Highly recommended. They cook it in a separate pan, separate utensils. I get the Red Hot Chicken pizza every time I go. Hot, cheesy, a little kick from the sauce. Great, now I'm hungry again. If you are at all curious about how they run the kitchen you can go to the take-out area and observe. Plus, beer! They serve Green's GF beer here.

We had an excellent NYE early dinner. 3 of the 4 of us with gluten allergies. Many GF options, including pizza which is our fams favorite! No GF buns available, but the waitress was quick to recognize and offer the fries that were GF to go with the burger!

I had the"gluten free" pizza, not as a sub-in, but their actual listed GF pizza, and proceeded to have a reaction all night into next morning. Not sure if the crust is unsafe or their food prep, but I don't think I'll be going back.

Have been going here for years for excellent GF pizza. Last visit something was very different with the GF crust it was terrible. The manager very apologetic thought it was the way it was prepared and swiftly made a refund on the phone.

No gluten free options. Salads only. I asked the waitress what was gluten free and she replied “you should know your allergy better than me”. I will never go back. Avoid at all costs!!!

I was to be in Worcestor for a wedding and contacted the restaurant through the website a week beforehand, as I have Celiac, and the online menu wasn’t clear to me, although it had been recommended. Since I couldn’t eat in, I needed to know exactly what was safe. The head chef personally contacted me back within six hours. Although it took three emails and me screenshotting their online menu to send to him to clear up the misunderstanding, once he saw the online menu was not up to date, he corrected it. He did let me know that certain pizza add-ons were more likely to be cross contaminated. Good to know. Only pizza can be made GF. No GF hamburger buns. When our order was picked up, the GF pizza was missing, at first out of a large order. The taste and texture was excellent and I was impressed by the chef’s attentiveness. It should be a lesson to others how important it is to contact a restaurant well ahead if you have Celiac.

The best GF pizza I've ever had! Many toppings to choose from....but Red Hots and house special are my favorite. Pizza gets 5 stars but gave 4 stars total due to fact that there is no other GF option besides pizza.

I love the Boynt! Never gotten sick from eating there in 20 years of pure Yum. I am very sensitive and vomit from gluten so I’m very driven to always be sure the food will be okay. So, this is the Best Pizza out there made GF!!! And I’ve also ordered fish with baked potato and veggie and never been sick, even tho they don’t “guarantee” those dishes wb GF. I just ask to have it cooked in a separate dish or in the oven. Never has a problem. Salads are awesome too. Their house Italian is GF. LOVE THE BOYNT!!!!!

Only pizza GF! I am giving 4 stars based on a pizza place. This is the go to for gluten free. Lots of toppings and the crust is very very good along with the GF white sauce. No kids pizza so that really sucks but we had leftovers. Nothing else is gluten free... only pizza. But there is seafood and steak you could have.

I've had A LOT of gluten free pizza and I can honestly say this is the best gluten free pizza in central mass. The problem with most GF pizza is that is stiff and not porous and the cheese and sauce don't meld together with the crust. Boynton pizza does not have this problem. If you have celiac, just make sure you are very clear with them that it is severe allergy.

I have had gluten free pizza there before and it was delicious-no reaction. This took place in the restaurant area. Buy today I decided to try and order online.When I got there the order did not go through, so I had to give my order to the man behind the counter in the pizza area. I said I wanted a gluten free pizza with pineapples and mushrooms. He said, "onion?" I said, "no, mushroom". After 10-15 minutes I received my pizza and left. When I opened the box on my way home it was a ham and mushroom pizza. I let it go that it was wrong because I was just happy it was gluten free. I ate 2 slices and started to feel like I was glutened. I have had a reaction all day. I called back and told them the order was wrong, which I was ok with but wanted to know if the pizza was still gluten free. The man said that they guarantee it gluten free but after I got off the phone I wondered if maybe I got the wrong pizza.

All of this said, all I have eaten today is a banana and strawberries so I know that it had to be the pizza.

Just be careful. I have come to trust people when they say it's gluten free but they are not the ones dealing with your reaction to gluten.

this place has the BEST gluten free pizza I have ever had. Their broccoli feta & onion pizza is absolutely incredible. The broccoli feta & onion is not only the best gf pizza, but the best pizza in general. I have dreams about this pizza. the toppings may sound weird together at first , but once you try them you will never go back to regular cheese pizzas. nothing compares !

My kids, a neighbor, and I ate lunch here after visiting the Ecotarium. We ordered three different pizzas and they were delicious. My kids' only complaint was low lighting. I was very glad the waitress explained that ONLY the pizzas can be truly GF. The pizzas are made in a separate kitchen entirely and all the pizza ingredients are kept in a separate fridge. So while there is a substantial menu for gluten-eaters, our menu is limited to pizza. Very tasty pizza. Yum. (For out-of-towners, like us, the parking & entrance is on the back. Don't spend your time trying to find on-street parking. Additionally, don't succumb to the temptation to park across the street at Sole Proprietor.)
