Had a good experience here. They can make several of the pizzas gf and they certify that it is gf. Other menu items they won’t guarantee no cross contamination. Overall I felt pretty safe. The pizza was quite good as well
Hat alles sehr gut geklappt. 3 Pizzen glutenfrei zur Auswahl. Nette Beratung.
They guaranteed it was certified gluten free and it was! Very yummy as well.

I’ve ordered from here countless times now and it’s always safe. They cook GF pizzas in a dedicated oven and mark the box with GF seals.
I ordered a gluten free pizza. Nice experience and I didn't have any kind of problem.

We had gluten-free pizza there. Overall it was good, though personally after some slices the cauliflower base starts to be a bit much. Nevertheless there are not that many reasonable priced options in SF centre and it was safe and good for once.
Had lunch here today! Our waitress was SO knowledgeable about what was/wasn’t GF, what was certified GF, and what was just made with no gluten-containing ingredients. Had the pick two lunch deal and I got a 7” bbq chicken pizza that I added pineapple to and an Italian chopped salad. The cauliflower crust was incredible. It was crispy but also had a nice chew to it. The Italian salad was pretty good too! Would definitely recommend.
Healthy gf pizza wirh cauliflower! Nice gf choices and very friendly waiter!
I went on a 3 week trip near the north-west coast. Had no symptoms so severe as after this restaurant. Assumingly they had gluten free pizza but the waiter just delivered it next to the other pizzas for my family on a tray, almost touching them. I dont know if that was the cause or something else but i definetly got sick. Pizzas were fine, not the best, not the worst. Service was perfect in every dimension exept kindness.
Ik was daar gisteren met mijn vrouw en dochter die allebei een gluten allergie hebben. Dit meteen bij aankomst aangegeven en hier werd heel goed mee omgegaan en werd duidelijk verteld wat er wel en niet mogelijk was. Pizza's worden in een apart gedeelte bereid en waren duidelijk gemarkeerd als glutenvrij zodat er geen kruisbesmetting kon gebeuren. Dit was er ook niet en dit waren de lekkerste pizza's die ze in lange tijd hebben gehad! Zeker een aanrader!
Four options of gluten free pizza with cauliflower crust. waiter was very knowledgeable and claimed the kitchen had a separate area to cook pizza. Was delicious and no issues!
Even had a gluten free tag on my plate 😀
Ate here twice. Chose certified gluten free pizza Margherita. Little overcooked but safely prepared. Good service. Need to chose both a gluten free crust and a pizza variety that is certified gluten free for it to be safe. There was also a gluten free salmon dish which someone else in our party tried and they thought it was good. Very sensitive to gluten and did not get sick after being here. Gluten free pizza marked with a stick/sign on it, so avoiding mix up.
Went here tonight and the chicken pizza was the best I have had since Coeliacs disease 5 years ago. Thin crispy base, yum. Waiter was knowledgeable and pizza came out with a gf flag on it. Wish I had a place like this in Australia.
We actually went twice will on vacation in SF.. it was extremely good!! The pizza is cauliflower base and my son looooved it so much we went again..
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.
They have certified GF pizza (it comes marked) when you order a special crust. Also salads, salmon, etc. I had Margherita pizza and it was delicious!
They have Gf pizza but nothing else No gluten free beer
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.
Regulated by the Gluten Intolerance Group. Staff friendly and knowledgeable.
My daughter is celiac and ate here a couple of times with no issues. They have separate ovens for their gluten free pizzas so it’s safe. The gluten free pizza is delicious.
I told them I’m celiac and I had 4 different pizzas to choose from that could be prepared gluten free. Pizza was really good!
Good pizza. Nice that it’s certified GF - makes life much easier. Only a couple options but at least it’s something.
Great Not many options certified as gluten free, but they do have gluten free certified!
Great pizza, very tasty. The staff were very knowledgeable of coeliacs.
We ate here twice during our trip to SF - once in the restaurant and once as take out. No issues with cross contamination and the pizza was tasty!
They had three pizzas marked as certified gluten free from which to choose. Pizza came with a gluten free flag. Fun spot.
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.
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.
El personal muy atento y amable. La pizza barbacoa estaba muy buena y sin contaminación
La atención es buena y rápida. Poseen menú libre de gluten (gluten free)
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.
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.
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).
GF items are clearly labeled. A decent amount of options. Taste is great, as usual.

Limited selection of gf pizzas. Separate toppings for gf pizzas. I’m a sensitive celiac and I’ve had no issues at all.
Good experience! I ordered the validated GF pizza. The waitress seemed new and she wasn’t sure what I was talking about but she spoke with the staff and they made my pizza separately and safely! It was great!
I’ve never eaten here in person yet, but I’ve ordered off of DoorDash four times with no issues. I order off their Gluten Free menu which they state they take precautions to prevent cross contact and is prepared in its own space based on procedures developed by The Gluten Intolerance Group.
The pizzas aren’t the best but they do hit the spot and is great for people who can’t eat gluten because our pizza options are limited anyways.
They have gluten free labeled on their menu. Specifically for their pizzas they have 5 “validated gluten free” options. These 5 are prepared in a separate area of the kitchen and brought out by a manager and flagged gluten free. The 5 gluten free pizzas are cheese, pepperoni, margherita, mushroom/sausage/pepperoni, and BBQ chicken. The crust is thin and mostly crispy like many other gluten free crusts. Pizza was hot out of the oven.
Pizza was delicious and I felt no symptoms for cross contamination. Pretty good!👍🏼
