I know this place (or rather this chain) got a bad reputation a few years back for not taking gluten free seriously when they rolled out a gf menu. So I was a bit hesitant to try it out now but I am very very glad that I did. Any past problems that they had are gone now. The pizza was delicious and they prepare the pizza in a dedicated area of the kitchen and protect it in the oven with a separate sheet. The waiter was very knowledgeable and was very helpful. They even had a gluten free beer from a local brewery. I will definitely be going back soon.

There was a specific gluten free pizza menu with 4 pizzas. I had the mushroom, pepperoni, sausage pizza and it was really satisfying. I noticed the Waldorf salad was GF, along with a few side plates (appetizers). I wish more of the salads were gluten free, otherwise it would be a 5 star. The chain is GIG certified and it appears that the facility was up to speed on how to avoid cross contamination.

Very good salads and very good GF pizza. Thin crust of course, but texture was great. We got the half size salads BTW. The full size are huge.

Solid choice. No gluten issues. My food came out separate and marked. I have eaten at different locations so I was not worried about cross contamination but some people may be concerned

Eaten here 2x and have not gotten sick. The crust does taste gluten free (find me a gluten free crust that doesn't taste gluten free), but it's what's on top of the crust that is the real deal.
