Have a GF pizza option and will mark for “allergy”. Pizza was good, no idea how safe the kitchen is, but they claim they keep separate to limit cross contamination. Went on a Friday night in December and was really busy (bus boy became our server), so not sure if they are as careful at peak times, but all in all a good experience. No reason to not believe them, would go back. Celiac daughter enjoyed it, no symptoms. Would recommend you go on waitlist on their website as wait at peak times can be 1 hour+. We went at 5:15pm and used online waitlist and waited 5 mins, vs families that just walked in and waited 30-60 mins.
I have been to another American Flatbread location and had a lovely experience at both. The restaurant has a warm, cozy, casual atmosphere that was great for my family and I. There is even a waiting area with a big fireplace and comfy couches. The service was quick and all of the food was very good, both the gluten free and regular pizza. You can do a build-your-own pizza or choose from the good number of suggested combos. Every topping is gluten free so they can all be used on the gluten free pizza crust that is offered. The pizza is made in a brick oven with the gluten free being made in its own tin to avoid cross contamination. I did not get sick either time or location I dined at American Flatbread. All of the toppings are fresh and organic as well. There also is an amazing mango hot sauce available at each table. Overall my family and I loved this dinner and would return again.
They were very knowledgeable about gluten free protocols and what was available. Gluten free Pizzas are cooked in the same wood fired oven, however they change gloves and take other protocols but getting fresh cheese and sauce. My sensitive celiac did not have any reactions. Both of my kids said it was some of the best gluten free pizza they have had.
I thought they were very careful with my order. They explained the risk of cross contamination and what they would do to mitigate it, ie cooking my order in a foil package. I could see the preparation and cooking area and felt completely safe. One of the best gluten free pizza bases I’ve ever had.
Great pizza! Delicious combinations of local farm ingredients, including house made sausage. They follow very specific precautions and steps to ensure that gf pizza is safe for celiacs. This includes servers changing gloves, preparing toppings in a separate space in the kitchen and wrapping the pizza with foil before baking in the large wood fired oven.
I’ve eaten at flatbread many times. I really have to be extra careful to tell them to cook my flatbread on a separate pan. It can still go in the woodfired oven. It just has to be on a separate pan. And then I need to remind them to use a separate pizza cutter… If I just say gluten-free and don’t specify these things, it’s not good. The last time I ate there I ordered takeout in a hurry and I forgot to say to take special caution and I got severely glutened.
So I have a what allergy but as time goes on I feel I may also have celiac. Anyway, at first glance the reviews are good re. safety and the waitress seemed super knowledgeable and explained they use a “foil cage” to bake the gf flatbreads in the same oven but are protected… I proceeded to order one and by the time I went back to my hotel room I passed out from the cross contamination. Call it gluten drugged if you will.
Unfortunately if you are EXTREMELY sensitive stay away. You’re welcome.
