Brick Oven Pizza Co. of Hernando

We had high hopes for this restaurant after seeing all the 5 star reviews. We ordered a GF pepperoni pizza on Halloween for our daughter, we were in town visiting family. I told them she has celiac and to take their time, there was no rush on our order. Unfortunately, she was up until 3am throwing up. I know this restaurant makes no claims to be celiac safe and that we take a risk by ordering out for her. Maybe they had an inexperienced cook or someone just made a mistake, we are all human. So I am not bad mouthing this restaurant, but I do want others to know about my daughter's experience so they don't also get sick. Next time I will make her one at the house or buy a pre-packaged one from the store.

The best gluten free pizza I have had. After my order is placed the waitress will come back and tell me what precautions are being taken; ticket is marked Celiac. Have not had any symptoms after eating their pizza.

The crust here was delicious. Very crispy. Gluten free pizza comes in medium size only and is only $1.69 more than a regular pizza. I had the Razorback and it was delicious. No contamination issues.

Eating out gf is hard, especially with a kid. This has been an easy go-to spot. Family friendly environment and the pizza was good.

It takes a little longer to get your food sometimes but I don’t mind since they’re taking extra precautions.

I wasn’t sure if the waitress would understand celiac and how gluten is a serious issue, but after talking to her and explaining cross-contamination being a problem she had the chefs pick from separate boxes that were untouched for my toppings. I loved every bite of my pizza and had no symptoms of being glutened after!! Great place for not too expensive pizza!

I have eaten there several times and gotten gluten free pizza. I've never gotten sick from it. It's nothing special, but it was fine and choices in this town are limited.

I asked about the gf and the cauliflower crust as I have several other food sensitivities. I was told they were both dairy free. When the waitress came and took my order, she said the first guy that greeted us had checked the ingredients to confirm and the cauliflower crust had dairy, so I went with the gf free. The crust is very tasty with a crunch on the bottom, my favorite. I ordered my toppings and the waitress came back and asked about cheese because I did not say that as a topping. ( so nice they did not assume as most do even when you tell the no dairy). When the pizza came out, there were so many toppings it looked like a thick crust pizza. It was so delicious and was enough to get two full meals out of. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it to you. Another large group came in with multiple gf people and they had no trouble with changes. The staff is very friendly, even with the short staff issues. I can’t say enough good about them.
