Took the certified gf BBQ chichen pizza. Really good. If you’re not a good eater, i suggest to share it with another person. Half is enough.

I actually was surprised a pizza kitchen was safe. Only some pizzas and salads can be made gluten free, but the ones that can be are marked on the menu so it’s easy to identify. but they said they have a separate pan they cook it in to prevent cross contamination. When you order, don’t just order the cauliflower crust, say you need the certified gluten free one. If you’d at you have an allergy, food comes out marked with a “gluten free” wooden stick. I felt very safe! The BBQ pizza was delicious!

They are extremely aware of celiac and cross contamination. My server informed me that only the gf pizzas are safe and there are only a few pizzas that are gf. They are made in a dedicated gf space and cooked separately from regular pies I had the bbq chicken pizza and it was fine. Not my favorite dough but works in a bind.

Fantastic. GF Cauliflower crust available for a variety of pizzas. I had no idea it was cauliflower till after I'd eaten it as it tasteless great. Tell them it's gluten allergy and it will be cooked separately, labelled and bought to the table by a separate server wearing gloves. Fab.

The team was very attentive to my questions about avoiding cross-contamination in the gluten free pizzas. They clearly explained their practices, separate ingredients and preparation station, and how they cooked gluten free pizzas in a tin to ensure that it was celiac safe. It was a success and I feel confident returning.

I have eaten here (Downtown SF location) a number of times because I work nearby. It has a dedicated GF pizza oven and they use a separate counter for prep. But stick to the GF items on the menu. If you customize your pizza (instead of sticking to those marked as GF on the menu) some of the toppings may come from the same line as the regular pizza. Just be clear with your server that your food must be GF and ask questions, especially if you are unsure. The staff are trained RE celiac, but people anywhere can make mistakes, or may not really understand the issues. The wait staff are nice and will return items to the kitchen when they make a mistake.

Celiac safe for only their Certified Gluten Free pizzas. There are five of them. They are pretty good and I’m happy to have an option.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Safe gf pizza. I wish they also had safe salad, but when I asked, she said only the pizza ordered from the gf certified menu can be guaranteed safe - no salads. Pizza was fine, nothing special. A safe (yet kind of boring) place to go when you’re in the city.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

El personal muy atento y amable. La pizza barbacoa estaba muy buena y sin contaminación

Celiac friendly?

Yes

La atención es buena y rápida. Poseen menú libre de gluten (gluten free)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I debated whether or not to leave a review because I didn’t actually chance eating here. I was seated and they did have a “certified GF” pizza menu —although it’s only 3 options of pizza. They also have a cauliflower crust option too. The place was pretty dead as it was a little after 4pm. After more than 15 min the waitress came over and said, “have you been helped yet?” This was very absurd given she was clearly the ONLY waitress. There was one other table besides me dining there. I order the GF pizza. I tell her I have an extreme mushroom allergy. She says she’ll write it down. So things are looking up. Then, she says “would you like bread with your pizza”. Me: “um, I want the gluten free pizza” her: “yeah, but do you want the bread still? It comes with the pizza”. ....Me: umm is it gluten free? Her: no, it just comes with pizza. Me: no, I’m not ordering GF for the fun of it, so I don’t want bread. She walked off to go put the order in. At that point I was too scared of getting mushroomed or glutened so I asked her to cancel the order and I just left. After the first 1/2 hour I wasn’t willing to risk it. If the waitress is that clueless I can’t chance what is communicated to the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

No

UPDATE: they are certified

The manager courteously explained the process: the cooks will wash their hands, handle with gloves, and rice flour is used on all (including non GF) cooking pans to stick them.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good pizza at the 3rd Street location in San Francisco. No reaction after. Order with manager to be sure.

Celiac friendly and very accommodating to allergies (my daughter is nightshade and they prepared the GF food without).

Celiac friendly?

No

GF items are clearly labeled. A decent amount of options. Taste is great, as usual.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tasty and a full GF menu.

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.

Impressed that you could ask for their certified GF pizzas on the kids menu. Our coeliac daughter was very happy with her cheese pizza which came out with a GF flag by a differed server with gloves on. No ill effects. It has been very hard finding safe and appealing choices for her on our travels in America so definitely a happy customer.

It’s always a risk at pizza places that aren’t dedicated GF, but we felt assured that the staff takes good precautions to avoid cross contamination here. And the pizza was very tasty.

Yes they have a gluten free crust and a few salad options but that is all. Some servers did not seem knowledgeable about what gluten was or what food contains it and did not seem interested in finding out. The gluten free bbq chicken pizza was good and I didn’t have a reaction but based on the experience and limited options it felt risky.
