This was my first time having pizza since being diagnosed with a gluten allergy and I must say it was really good. I would definitely go back if in the area again.

Really delicious gluten free bread! Fries are not celiac friendly (cooked in same fryer as other food that contains gluten), chips on the side instead!

I really don't enjoy their gf pizzas (have flour on them in the oven, so NOT Celiac friendly) and the dough is super thick... but the sandwiches are worth eating.

So many GF offerings. Pizza crust made in house is fabulous. Not a dedicated oven but made separately.

good pizza. let them know you have an allergy not just a diet request for gluten free. They will exercise greater precautions. expect to spend a little over 50 bucks fo a family of four. There are some tables available to eat in but the place is more about getting food to go. They dont have public bathrooms. Bring wipes to wash your hands.

GF dough is made on site - their own recipe (manager has celiac). The staff was very knowledgable about which toppings were GF and which weren't. Hubby had the regular pizza and said it wasn't that good. GF dough was better! Be aware that the Salem location is essentially a takeout place - they have a few small tables but it's not a true sit-down restaurant vibe.

So so good. Crust is even better than "normal" pizza crust.

Yes, they have GF pizza crust but it was generic crust that you could get at a grocery store. They had GF markings on the menu, but I was disappointed that their only eggplant was breaded. The sauce was VERY garlicy, otherwise pizza was fine. It was a nice touch that the server asked if we wanted separate boxes for our leftovers (my partner had glutinous pizza). No gluten-free pasta but some of their sandwiches said gluten-free, so they must’ve had gluten-free bread.

Note: I have never done take-out here, just dine-in, so this review is just for dine-in. Dine-in service is exceptional - staff is very knowledgeable about cross-contamination, and even though the pizza and bread dough is made in-house, I have never had a problem over years of eating here. And the pizza and sandwiches are always extra-tasty in addition to being safe!

I love Plum Tomatos gluten free dough but unfortunately was cross contaminated last time I ordered take-out here. Have been back to eat inside since then and the server explained that the eat in side of the restaurants takes every measure possible to prevent cross contamination. He did say the take out side is mostly teenagers who don’t understand the need for caution on gluten free foods. So safe to eat inside, use caution ordering takeout.

Ordered delivery. They offer gluten free pizza, sandwiches and pastas. I got a pizza that tested “gluten found” on my Nima tester. Did not eat the food. Very disappointed
