BJ's Brewhouse

Preface: I have a non-celiac gluten intolerance. I don't have gut issues with gluten, instead my joints will ache so badly I want to cut limbs off. I am HIGHLY sensitive, I usually can't even eat anything that's processed in the same factory as items that contain gluten.

That being said we are on vacation and I took a chance on BJs because they have many items marked as GF. The waitress recommended the cauliflower crust pizza because she thought it tasted better than regular, and customers love it. She wasn't wrong! I got BBQ chicken on the cauliflower crust and it was SO good. I was concerned because I forgot to ask if they use separate equipment for baking their GF pizzas. I also had an entire GF pazookie to myself and not only did it still taste amazing, I'm well into the next day and I haven't even had a twinge of joints aching- which is huge! Generally I'll start reacting within hours of eating gluten.

Obviously it's still a shared kitchen so cross contamination is going to be a risk but I'm glad I took a chance this time! And our waitress Kayla B was so awesome and helpful, and super understanding with our ND kiddo.

Can't say if there are issues with cross contamination- always read website disclaimers, but we tried the pizza and it was awesome!

Besides the long wait for our food, everything was delicious. In fact, BJ’s gluten free pizza was one of the best Kris and I ever had.

The salads weren’t outstanding, typical restaurant starter salads.

I got the House Salad with Italian dressing while Kris had the Wedge Salad.

But the pizza was SO good. Thin crust with melt-y fontina cheese topped with sweet caramelized onions and grilled Portobello mushrooms. Gosh I want some right now!

Now for the Pizookie! I personally loved it, but that’s because I have a major sweet tooth, actually Kris calls it an extreme sweet tooth :P hehehe. The Pizookie was a bit overcooked, but I’m not complaining.

It was a great deal for the two of us to fill our tummies with some quality gfree pizza.

Up to now (5 yrs since diagnosis) this is the best GF pizza I have had!!

Good gluten free pizza!

They have a special GF menu with lots of options. My son had the GF BQ pizza and liked it a lot. He’s very sensitive and didn’t have any issues. If you have room the GF pizza cookie w ice cream is crazy good!! I used open table to make my reservation.
