This place was awful, the food felt like it had been heated instead of cooked. The gluten free pizza was the worst pizza I’ve ever had and I felt un-well after. I’ve eaten pizza at pizza my heart and even with their pizza I didn’t feel as uneasy as I did here. Save yourself the time and don’t eat here.

This place has tons of gluten free options/substitutions clearly labeled on their menu. I had a GF pizza and it's probably the best one I've had in the 9 years I've been gluten free.

They had many gluten free options. I had the minestrone soup and they substituted gf pasta. I also added chicken. It was very good and nice to have minestrone as I haven't had it in a long time. Their marinara sauce was very tasty too-not too sweet. The waiter was great and so too was the service.

I should have headed the other review. I'm highly sensitive and I left there having a real hard time breathing. I was able to manage with just benadryl, but still. Just about all of us ordered gf meals to be safer (2 ordered reg pizza). The restaurant was empty accept for us and one other person. I don't know what happened, but delicious food (which it was)or not we can't risk going back. If your highly allergic STAY AWAY!

It's been a year so they may cleaned up their act, but I got a reaction (and a hassle) when I ordered the gf pizza. We so miss this place but I can't risk it.

Very good food! My son had gf pizza and loved it. My older son had gf spaghettini. It was a huge portion and very delicious. I enjoyed the gf margherita pizza. Fabulous.

I LOVE this place! My daughter told me about it - she went there with a friend. The first 2 times I went there, they had a gluten-free gnocchi side dish that was fabulous!! Then I noticed the little "GF" notation was missing from that menu item, and I asked about it. I was told that they switched "to a potato gnocchi," which is not a good excuse since potatoes don't have gluten on their own. If they bring back the GF gnocchi, I'll change my rating to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!

First visit was great. Hubby ordered GF Alfredo and liked it. Second visit was less than ideal. Found three different pieces of non gluten free pasta (penne, spaghetti and fettachini) in the GF pesto dish. Severe reaction... :(

Waitress was very helpful and asked the chef all of my questions to confirm which items could be made gluten free.

Talked to staff about pizza and cross contamination. The G/F pizza is cooked in the same oven as the wheat four pizza and the flour is all over. They couldn’t guarantee it would be G/F. That said I tried it and did not get sick.

Had the gluten free bbq chicken pizza and didn't get sick. They were also careful when they boxed it up. The gf crust tasted good and the pizza was easily 12 inches.
