One of the best GF pizzas I have had. Very friendly staff. Pizza cooked on a liner which it is served on.

Review
I called in the order for delivery and talked with a person and he seemed to understand my Celiac needs. My pizza (pepperoni and black olives) was on an extra liner that it appeared to have been baked on.
I did not get sick and it was tasty.
Delivery on a Friday night was about one hour, which they told me on the phone.
I would get pizza from here again.

Review
Ordered the gluten free pizza. Was informed they make the GF pizzas in a different area. There was a longer wait just because it was really busy. Didn't get sick. Tastes great!

Review
When I mentioned celiac disease and asked about cross-contamination, they let me know they cook the pizza in a separate pan and use toppings from a separate area in the back. All staff were friendly and aware of the procedures to follow if someone is avoiding gluten. Pizza was delicious!

Had a gluten free pizza here today after talking to the person taking orders. Felt comfortable with their process and handling.
There was a mixup on the other which they quickly took care of. Good service, good pizza.

Review
Pizza was great. They have segregrated area to build the pizza. They put on baking paper so no cross ontamination in oven. Only comes in 10 inch.
Review
They made the pizza in a separate area and they keep separate ingredients in the back for GF pizzas. Cheese is great and crust is a normal OK gluten free crust.
Review
Gluten free crust was great...unlike the cardboard we usually get! The staff prepares the individually wrapped crust in a separate area of the kitchen, bakes it on a separate sheet to avoid cross contamination, and brought it out in a take-out box to further avoid cross contamination. We will definitely stop here again in our travels through town.
Review
Great gluten free pizza crust and knowledgeable staff about celiac and other allergies. Pizza was cooked on a liner to reduce contamination.
