This place when it is busy could give a flip about cross contamination of any kind. Not just celiac but vegan and dairy free too.

The staff was super well trained on celiac! They asked if I needed a glove chance or different spoons used to make the pizza. And completely friendly while doing so.

Sensitive celiac didn’t get sick though I watched and guided them (change gloves, don’t use same sauce, etc). We’re friendly and happy to accommodate.

You must watch carefully BUT I eat there every Friday night with NO issues (pizza night in our house) they use special sauce, glove change (you need to ask for)they cook it on a special matt and the dough comes from its own machine (where i live, not all do i guess) the mat lets the person on the end know its GF so they use a special pizza cutter. As long as you are paying attention as well there should be no problems

No way is this GF If your have celiac. My wife has celiac. she has gotten sick there. I still eat there and you can see the cross contamination ever time I go there. If you do not have celiac it's fine.

I told the first staff member in line about my Celiacs and they marked my paper as gf and glove change. When the next person in line received my paper, he put a regular crust on it and didn’t change his gloves. I had to ask them to start fresh with a new liner because of the contamination. The manager took over and got me fresh toppings, but had I not questioned and double checked, I would’ve been eating a gluten pizza. The staff, other than the manager, was completely uneducated about gluten free protocols. The oven man also put my pizza on the wrong liner, but luckily the wrong liner was gluten free too.

If you have Celiac, make sure you tell them, and they'll change their gloves. You can also request that they use fresh toppings instead of the ones in the line, which may be contaminated. This location has been extremely accommodating, and I've never gotten sick.

They have special sauce so there is no cross contamination and they cook the gluten free crust on a paper dish to avoid cross contamination as well. As soon as you say that you have an allergy or celiac disease, the person making your pizza changes their gloves and takes care of you. Delicious make your own pizzas!

I really liked this place and felt safe. They put the dough on a mat so it’s not on the same surface as the gluten pizza when cooking it. They changed the gloves and made sure no one touched my pizza with gluten hands. They have a certain sauce just for gluten free pizza. They got ingredients from the bottom that weren’t touched and used a clean pizza cutter to cut my pizza. They didn’t seem to mind accommodating. I apologized for being complicated and they were just like it’s not that big of a deal.

Don’t eat here! I got such attitude on the gluten free ask. The girl was so put out that she didn’t even get the toppings from a clean container. I paid for the pizza and threw it out. I will never go there again!!

Went in and ordered a pepperoni pizza with gluten free crust. They asked if it was an allergy or preference. When I said allergy they did a glove change, offered to pull ingredients from the bottom, have a designated red sauce just for gluten free items, and we’re very kind and didn’t act like it was a bother to go through those extra steps. My husband who is not gluten free tried my pizza and said it is no different than his just a little thinner. I’ve ate here many times and will continue to come back!
