If you're celiac, don't eat here. I was sick within an hour of eating there. Also, the crust was terrible. It didn't taste good and it fell apart and crumbled. Everyone got their order before me because they forgot to make mine.

Rated 5 for safety 2.5/3 for food quality and taste

The pizza felt very safe:

- pre-made crust (not fresh) that is gluten free - baked in it’s own tin so reduction of chance of cross contamination in oven - very kind staff that prepared pizza in separate area

While this pizza was safe, I didn’t think the pizza was anything to rave about. I found the pizza to be a mix between a saltine cracker and a flatbread consistency. The toppings were fine. I would come here again if I had to get food with a bunch of gluten eaters but not on my own for just pizza.

2 medium pizzas (12 inches) came in around $34 dollars.

I have yet to find a good GF pizza... and this one tasted more like a semi soggy GF saltine cracker. They were knowledgeable and cooked the pizza in its own pan so it wasn’t cross contaminated. Toppings were good but the whole thing was dry and overall not worth it. I had no reaction and they had other options (pastas, salads, apps, etc) I wish I had tried instead.

Was in NYC last week and went twice. Had the spaghetti with meat sauce and then pep and mush pizza. No issues, didn’t get sick! Service was great.

this is not a celiac friendly restaurant at all !!!! they advertise gluten free pizza and pasta but fail to tell u that their sauce and cheese contain gluten. my two year old got gluten and sick. I found out when I placed my second order the next night that I visited the city about the sauce and cheese. They should not advertise on menu gluten free pizza and pasta and then top it w gluten. I am lost for words on the lack of knowledge and false advertising with how sick they can make someone just to make an extra buck. Very upset !

The pizza is great, the only drawback (not worth marking down for) is that the menu just has "gluten free pizza" on the menu so toppings need choosing carefully (we chose toppings we know are GF but I don't know if they *all* are). Given the cooking practices and knowledge I imagine they would probably question if you'd picked a gluten infested topping though 😊

Excellent to find somewhere serving GF after midnight. Watched the kitchen staff in the open kitchen and was impressed when I saw them getting out a new pizza slice and not using shared tools when the pizza got caught on the tray whilst serving; this coupled with them constantly, and visibly, cleaning makes this a great restaurant.

The service here was pretty terrible. I stood at the counter for a long time watching the person at the register read texts. When I said hello, she finished reading before she looked up. When a different person brought my pizza over, they practically tossed it on the table. There were no napkins on the table and none were brought with the food. Speaking of the food, the pizza tasted like Campbell's tomato soup concentrate smeared on a saltine with cheddar cheese on it. The whole was better than the sum of its parts, but for $14 this pizza is only recommended if no other food is available.

Excellent! The chef came out to let me know that the eggplant could have a little bit of flour from the machine they use to slice it. Really seems to understand cross contamination!
