I came for the 3 gf options- unfortunately, cross contamination ALL OVER the place. They use the ladle to spread sauce on regular crust, then drop it right back in the sauce. Then they plop the pizza right on top of the contaminated oven. I even asked them not to use the same paddle, they laughed at me.

Update: They seem to have updated their safety practices! I have had no reaction here, and they now change gloves and use different utensials every time.

The pizza is delicious, lots of vegan options! The GF pizza is somewhat safe, it honestly depends on who’s working there and how careful they are. About 80% of the workers are very careful and I usually have a minimal reaction if they are handling the food.

Ate here recently and it was great! There are three kinds of GF crusts: GF, Keto, and Cauliflower. Rating 3 stars because it is a small kitchen and there’s definitely risk of some cross contact. I’d say eat here at your own risk. With that said, when I said I had a “gluten allergy” they immediately told me they could change gloves and use a clean pizza cutter. I felt comfortable enough that I would eat here again on occasion.

Great tasting gluten free pizza but not celiac friendly. As others have said, they can do a complete change out if not busy, but I've never had that opportunity. On a normal day, they will change gloves but the toppings have had gluten covered gloves dipped in them all day. No separate pans either and same pizza cutter.

UPDATE 3/10/2023: Location no longer has GF crust.

Good cauliflower crust. With coaching, the staff took good precautions, but there's a small risk of contamination. I had the cauliflower simple pie and did not get sick.
