I was disappointed in the ordering process. It is understandably difficult to hear with masks. First thingi said “gluten free” build your own pizza. Luckily my friend’s pizza was being made before mine and when they looked similar, I asked if mine was gluten-free. She was visibly annoyed and said I didn’t say that. I was still polite and friendly and said yes i did but maybe you didn’t hear because of my mask. From that point on, they did use different utensils and sauces for my pizza! The precautions were reassuring. I’m grateful for that but not the attitude Melissa gave me because she didn’t hear me.

No!! I will not go back again. I told them I was Celiac and they made there cauliflower pizza. First it tasted terrible. Second it’s still cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas. Third, the staff have no idea how to prevent cross contamination and fourth, if they are busy all you get is attitude when you ask them to change gloves. NOT SAFE FOR CELIACS. Do not eat here!!

I specifically requested Gluten free, the girl who turns out was the shift leader even asked if it was "a preference" to which I replied it was not and it would cause severe illness. The girl then took the gluten crust off the paper and then walked away. She told someone else about it and then another person came over put in gloves and proceeded to rub her hands all around in the flour that was on the preparation area. I then told them to forget about it because they were too dirty and were contaminating my food.

I stood there for 10 minutes trying to pay for my sons regular pizza and a couple drinks, but the employees kept ignoring me.

The food is good. However, if your full celiac I wouldn’t recommend eating here since the female employee I had didn’t change her gloves after asking if i wanted gluten free for diet or allergy. I stressed allergy and still no glove change.

When they first opened they were great. now I've seen them use the gluten free dough press for gluten dough during busy rushes. Recently my husband picked up a gluten free pizza for me but I'm pretty sure it wasn't gluten free dough. It looked like a regular pizza. I thought about not eating it but it was marked gluten free. Five minutes in I had stomach pain like I haven't had in years. stay away if you're sensitive to gluten. They advertise gluten friendly options but they are no longer safe!

Love this place great selection of toppings and sauces just make sure you tell them you have the allergy if you do. For two people to get their own pizza and a drink to share is $25 but worth it in my book!!!

They have a very thin crust "floppy"GF pizza. Furthermore they have several yummy FRESH toppings. It was good enough to eat again. :-) They cannot guarantee cross contamination, However, they make major efforts by changing gloves, prepping in different area etc... Prices aprox. $7-10 / GF pizzas take longer than their "3 minute bake time" claim to fame statement ... The place was clean & staff was very friendly , attentive & observant. The only thing I'd suggest is wiping the walls next to tables better ---it seemed to be an issue as I scanned for cleanliness down the entire restaurant wall... Someone also mentioned they're out of GF dough many times . I'd definitely dine there again...

Their crust has a different taste and texture than others I've had. I really like it. The variety of toppings is amazing, including different sauces and cheeses. When you order gf, they'll ask if it's preference or allergy and will change gloves if you say allergy.

Pizza was good until I got severely ill. May not be cross contaminated while making, however once it’s in the oven it’s fair game as it’s touching everywhere normal pizza is fired.

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!!
