the pizza was barely edible. they did put aluminum foil to prevent cross contamination but i couldn’t even get the pizza unstuck from the foil. i did not get sick but the pizza was nothing to rave about

This is the beast pizza I’ve had since being gluten-free. I called ahead and talked with them about their protocols - you should too. Everyone has been knowledgeable about celiac and what to do.

We haven’t had issues with cross contamination here. Th pizza is on the pricier side I think we pay close to $15 for a smallish 4 piece pizza. But we still get pizza here regularly because it is delicious! This is the best gluten free pizza I have had since my diagnosis. The Paesano pizza is amazing! The crust is similar to a ‘normal’ pizza crust.

The gluten free pizza gave me a reaction, so there is too much cross-contamination for my tolerance. It was also pretty dry—not nearly enough sauce. The other Detroit-style GF, Jets, is much better and no reaction. I would also change the price rating from one dollar sign to two dollar signs.

We have had great success here. They can make any pizza gluten free. The crust is actually think and fluffy. Recommend the pizza for sure.

I ordered a salad that came out with crouton crumbs so I sent it back. The manager made me a new salad himself, took our salad and the gf pizza off our bill. I felt great that he went the extra mile to make our food safe!

The hostess and waiter were not knowledgeable about gluten free precautions but they gladly checked with the kitchen staff. Ordered a gluten free pizza and it came out on tinfoil with its own pizza cutter to limit cross contamination. Very reactive celiac and did not react at all. Pizza was good too. Would return.

Traveling for sports and saw this location was close and good reviews. The GF pizza was delicious! We ordered the Detroit one. The crust is thicker than I tend to choose but it was really good, one of the best GF pizzas I’ve had.

I don’t feel good, giving a five for safety just because of the opportunity for cross-contamination .

One of my favorite places to get gluten free pizza. They don't cut the pizza up and send out a pizza cutter if you're dining in. I have ate here many times without any reactions.
