One of my favorite local chain restaurants. Gluten free pizza, gluten-free dessert and ciders. Staff is very careful, pizza is a great value and you can place your order before you even get there either for takeaway or so that it’s ready when you are seated.
Staff was very helpful, however it didn’t matter how many questions were asked. Things are marked on the menu as GF but we’re not (Derby Cobb comes with blue cheese). Blue cheese dressing was also marked as GF in the allergy menu, doubt it actually is. We were assured that the pizza had it’s own tray, and the kitchen was notified of the allergy, but it still resulted in early morning vomiting and weeks of illness. Fryer is shared with fried chicken and other wheat products. Supposedly a gluten free burger would come with fries if we didn’t ask. Second star is definitely only because of our waiter.
I have Celiac disease but was able to eat here with no problems. They have a gluten free menu you need to ask for.

Ok GF options, but it's just mass produced, Cisco frozen food and tastes like it. Most servers not well versed in anything GF. Ok place to go with others who aren't healthy eaters
Limited GF options. Been a couple of times in a pinch but wouldn't go out of my way to find here.
I had one of the steaks (new york steak i think) and the cheddar mashed potatoes. It was sooo good. I've been back to have it again too. I just take care to say "i'm really allergic to gluten, can you please tell the chef." Mmm...
I think it's great BJ's has a gf menu. Last night, we drove South of SF to watch to the sunset and get some gf takeout from BJ's. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Salad. BJ's was packed. By the time our order was ready I forgot to open it and check everything. When I got home and opened the salad, it was covered in battered fried onions! After removing them, which really wasn't too difficult or damaging to the salad, I was super excited to dive into my gf yumminess! Never happened. The salad tasted so bland, I could bought one from a bad at Traders. While I very much appreciate BJ'S menu efforts, I believe I paid $16 for less than half a grilled chicken breast and a watery combo of lettuce, jicama, corn and mushy tomatoes. Definitely try some other gf menu items and let us know how they taste! :)

I had the special — burger and fries with a mini cookie. They have gf buns. Fries are not safe so I got a salad instead. Everything was fine. Burger was very tasty. The gluten free cookie is yummy. The ice cream came in a separate container. I asked why. It’s to prevent cross contamination. Tells me they take gf seriously. I was happy with everything.
They have a gluten free menu and they even have a dessert that is delicious and gluten-free. Only thing was the fries are cross with gluten so they are not gluten free.
I’ve gone here many times and never gotten sick. There is a separate gluten free menu, I’ve only ever ordered the pizzas and pizookie but there are other options. Whenever I tell the staff about my allergies, they are very responsive and assure me they cook it separately. They also give you the ice cream for the pizzookie separate so as not to risk cross contamination.
I had the GF pizza, the pepperoni one, never had julienned pepperoni before! The bartender did suggest extra cheese so I went with that and honestly it needed it, because it was the perfect amount of cheese. The gluten-free crust was probably one of the best I’ve had in a long time. They did have a completely separate gluten-free menu, which was nice to see. Loads of options on there! They also had gluten-free buns and the sandwiches looked great. They even do their famous cookie in a gluten-free option, I really wanted to try it, but did not have room after the pizza. The bartender seemed knowledgeable and was also super friendly!! Very nice experience here, would definitely recommend.
GF options including pizza, burgers and cookie dough.
