The staff is very knowledgeable, offer many gluten free options with a slight up charge to make it gluten-free, and the pizza was delicious! My kids were trying to figure out just how far from the house this place was so they could come again. (Just under 7 hours from home.)

I was in town for the weekend and decided to go here after seeing good reviews and a pretty extensive gf menu. By the time I finish eating and go back to my hotel room, I was feeling sick. The food was very good, but I would not consider this safe for celiac, based on my experience.

They offer many gluten free options. It does state on their menu that gluten free items are prepared separately but they do not guarantee crops contamination. However, I've eaten here several times with no issues. Great food and service.

I understand that celiacs really want bread, but eating out in places with small kitchens without a separate kitchen area? Have some common sense, y’all. I had a salad here. It was delicious, and safe.

While it is true that they have a large selection of gf menu items including bread, pizzas, calzones, salads, and sandwiches and honestly i care much more about eating safe food than whether the service was good their food is not safe for celiac. I ate there yesterday while on vacation using previous reviews as a litmus. Im in no way a newbie to celiac or eating out at places that serve gluten free. I ordered their gluten free cheese bread, and a gluten free pizza with ham, red sauce, onion and pineapple. i was sick about 2 hours later which is basically my normal time when something is contaminated. But hey they had excellent service. I wanted to be sure I reviewed this one to ensure someone else doesnt read these same reviews and fall for it the same way I did. It may be what I ordered or not, but this place is like roulette. In some ways its my own fault, i should have known not to risk a regular pizza place with flour in the air everywhere while on vacation. Run away from this place please.

update: i posted a review on their facebook page as well where they have now responded themselves they do NOT consider themselves safe for celiac. Obviously.

Tried this place several weeks ago. Sat outside patio. Ordered a gf philly steak sandwich. They have several sandwiches available on gf hoagie-like toasted buns. Though the meat didn't have the flavor I was hoping for (a bit bland for my taste), the bread held up nicely and had a good flavor. Gf hoagie Sandwich bun was larger in size than I'm used to at other places. I plan to return and try other sandwiches, but as carryout. They also have a gf pizza available but haven't tried yet.

I am not celiac, but I have issues with cross contamination. I went there last night and have what I would consider a mildish reaction for me, digestion is off and wish I could sleep all day. no severe pain, but for those with strong cross contamination concerns, this is not the place for you. for those that don't have those worries, it was delicious. gf pizza only comes in 10 inch. I personally wont be going back, which bums me out. Gel's across the street never gives me issues, but was excited for more adventurous pizzas.

Food was delicious, however, I had a strong reaction after eating here. I tried contacting the manager after to ask a few questions, but, I never heard back. I believe the cheese they use has gluten in it. My guess is they use pre-shredded cheese. But, since nobody would contact me back, it's only a guess. I won't be returning.
