&pizza

I stay at the Hotel Hive about every other month and & Pizza is at the hotel. If you look in the kitchen, there is a real possibility of cross contamination. Since I always have a full schedule of meetings, I’ve always been too scared to try the pizza. This visit, I had enough time where I could risk it. The pizza was okay (a little bland), but it was convenient to be able to eat at my hotel when I was super tired. I am feeling some mild issues from cross contamination, but it’s not so bad that I’ll be running for a restroom (just uncomfortable).

The bar has no gf beer or hard cider. They do have hard seltzer and mixed drinks.

& Pizza used to have a breakfast skillet. They don’t serve it anymore. If you’re staying at the hotel, be advised that there are no longer any gf breakfast options. Whole Foods is a few blocks away so you can get some breakfast food there if you’re in a hurry.

It is super hit and miss with the staff if they know about gluten. I have yet to have anyone ask “Allergy or preference?” You have to ask a lot of questions and tell them what you need most of the time.

Overall, don’t go here if you’re hungry or can’t get sick. If you’re staying at the hotel, are exhausted, and you can deal with digestive issues or other symptoms, it’s meh pizza.

GF options and no issues afterwards - my daughter is very sensitive. She didn’t love the sauce but still a great pizza option for the whole family.

the pizza was fine… i had a small stomach ache afterwards, but that could be chalked up to something else. they really skimp on the toppings, so order “extra” if you dont want sauce on bread.

While they do offer GF crust, the red sauce is dumped out of a ladle and then spread across all doughs. So there is definitely a high chance of cross contamination. After seeing this, I decided not to chance it and did not order. There also is no indoor seating.

A lot of cross contact at this location. They are willing to change gloves if you ask. Gluten free crust available, but they use the same ingredients and cutter for all pizzas. I had ordered online and I didn’t notice this until after the cuts were made. My friend said it was delicious though, I didn’t eat it because of all of the cross contact witnessed.

I was glutened pretty severely from their "gluten free" pizza... based on prior experience, I believe more than cross contamination.

Nope. Yes, they have a GF crust, but I watched them take their gloved hands that was covered in wheat flour - they flour the surface before rolling out the wheat dough crusts - and go straight into the cheese and toppings. She offered to change gloves when I complained but what good would that have done? The wheat flour was already clearly contaminating all of the toppings. I left. This is just not a safe place if you have celiac or cannot otherwise eat gluten. I’m not usually a stickler for cross contamination, but this was just obviously unsafe.
