Gluten-Free at Cottage Inn Gourmet Pizza

Spoke with the manager on duty and this is not a celiac safe establishment. Even with their GF options they cannot prevent cross contamination.

I didn't get sick, but the gf pizza was awful. Overcooked,skimpy items, paper thin bland crust. Gross. Not worth the $20 that they charged.

Fantastic! I love cheese bread but can't have soy or gluten. They use olive oil and even asked if I wanted minced garlic for flavor. The pizza is always spot on. This is our go to pizza place!

They have in my opinion just ok pizza for the price. The cheese bread thing is actually better than the pizza, that is the only thing I’d recommend from here. Still they were very good about accommodation, and staff seemed knowledgeable. Although the pizzas are cooked together, the GF ones are cooked on a baking pan, I’m very sensitive and hadn’t had a reaction.

I didnt see any measures taken and none of the instructions I put were followed. I definitely had a reaction albeit mild I dont think they used tin foil either. I took a shot with this since the other reviews said they were fine, and I didnt talk to them before making the order I just used online and put celiac gluten allergy in the special instructions but I prob wont be back.

Cottage Inn in Saginaw did a great job with my order! They have a dedicated webpage towards gluten free and celiac. I ordered my gluten free pizza and cheese bread online giving special instructions “celiac-gluten allergy”. When I picked up my order the worker stated that they used all new utensils, cleaned prep area and changed gloves. I didn’t have a reaction to the pizza. It’s definitely pricey but very good!

I have had many different pizzas and subs from here, and they have all been fantastic!! They offer a LOT of gluten free options as well as vegetarian. You can change the pizza/sub sauce, add things to the crust on the inside and outside, and do most every topping you would like. This is by far my favorite pizza place, and I have been to many!!

This review is only on their gluten free cheesy bread. It was excellent. It is thin crust with generous cheese and a small container of pizza sauce for dipping. It also came with a little tub of sealed garlic butter. I believe there was already some on the pizza too. Very good tasting... It was perfect for two people for an appetizer. It was rather pricy, but that won't stop me from going back there again for it. It was 10 or 11 inches round and was cut once across the middle then 4 or 5 perpendicular cuts to make 10-12 pieces, only 6 of which are larger pieces.

Ordered from Uber eats but called the store to learn their procedures. I usually can’t eat at pizza places, as they don’t have seperate areas. However they explained they have separate prep space, separate containers for condiments, and they put aluminum under each gf item to avoid cc. I didn’t get sick at all and am quite sensitive

Super awesome experience with my young son who has celiac disease. The manager and our waiter (Cody) were super helpful and answered all of our questions about gluten free options and safety measures to avoid cross contamination. They truly went above and beyond to make sure it was safe and we were comfortable in the safety procedure for ensuring it’s gluten free. They literally opened new bags of cheese- so awesome to make sure our child is safe! The pizza and breadsticks were DELICIOUS and tasted like a regular pizza- the best gluten free pizza we’ve had by far!!! The little one says it’s the best ever! Great clean environment, family friendly, delicious food, and felt completely safe in having our son eat here. Highly recommend!! We will be back! Lots of options including pizzas, sandwiches, breadsticks and cinnamon sticks that can all be made on gluten free crust. :)

Update 2022: they changed their process and I’ve been contaminated a few times here. No longer cooked in foil pan. Very sad.

I’ve never been contaminated and I’ve eaten here numerous times. They cook the gf pizza in its own tin foil pan. I’ve tried everything on the gf menu - they use the same gf pizza crust for the sandwich and the garlic bread. Super delicious!! I usually note that I have celiac disease in the “special notes” section. Excellent!

One of the best Gluten Free pizzas I’ve ever had! It is a thin crust but not like most GF thin crusts that are like a piece of paper, it has more dough to it . The crust is nice and crispy…my mouth is drooling as I write this. Go check it out!

I had a gluten free pizza that tasted great and gave me no bad side effects. My only issue is that the toppings slid off of the pizza crust. I don't know if that's a "feature" of their gluten free pizza crust.

I'm a Celiac and have been eating here for years, and I don't think I've ever gotten sick from their food. Gluten free pizzas, cheese bread, and subs are cooked in their own pan, so no cross contamination! Definitely one of my go-to spots

They have a separate gluten free menu online, which includes cheesy bread. Pizza comes delivered with a sticker noting that it is gluten free, which is always comforting when ordering multiple pizzas that are GF/not GF. Pizza is always super greasy, but it’s not anything a good dab with a napkin can’t fix :)

I got there before my pickup so I was watching them make my order and they used absolutely no precautions. All the food I ordered was gluten free and the used the same oven tool, slicer, and table spot as all the non gf food. I told them I had an allergy and they remade it with much more precautions.

I ordered from here after having a bad experience at another “gluten free” pizza place. I called prior to ordering and asked about cross contamination and they answered all my questions. Upon arriving to pick up the pizza and garlic bread, the family working were wonderful and super nice! I explained what happened at the other place and they showed me their separate prep area and gluten free pizza cutter. They showed the pizza comes on its own aluminum tin and that they use separate utensils for the sauce, etc. They talked about how important gluten free is for people with celiac disease. We had a nice conversation about why we were in town and knew about the soccer tournament and asked how the girls were doing while I waited for them to cut the pizza. Everything was delicious and the customer service was top notch!
