Absolutely NOT celiac friendly. I asked the manager if the pizza can be made celiac safe and he assured me that it can. I then proceeded to watch him, use the same tongs he used for normal pizza, touch every contaminated surface possible and put the pizza in the oven without a tray. They clearly have no idea what they’re doing when it comes to cross contamination. Avoid if you’re celiac.

We were assured before ordering pizza that it would be gluten free. Owner was knowledgeable and pointed out separate tray and cutter used. My husband ( not a Celiac) said it was the best Gf pizza he ever had. Service was great although it was a busy evening

This pizzeria is an authentic wood fired pizzeria. The owner of the shop is super careful and particular for celiacs. What you do need to be aware of is that the store only has one oven and to guarantee your pizza is celiac friendly you need to order early in the evening - preferably before 6pm. The reason for this being that before 6pm the owner of the store will very meticulously clean out the pizza oven and scrub all prep surfaces to ensure the area is free of cross contamination. After 6pm the store is very very busy and the owner cannot provide a celiac guarantee. The owner is extremely helpful and very nice and went the extra mile to ensure our pizzas for my kids were celiac friendly - we placed our order at 5.30pm and the pizza was ready 30 later. When we left the store at 6pm it was crazy busy so I appreciated the owner giving us this piece of advice.

These guys were superb! Understood that we were coeliac and what that meant. Cleaned all areas, utensils and trays before making and cooking our pizzas. No gluten products prepared or touched during our cooking process.

Beautiful pizza and amazing services that gave us great confidence in their ability to make our food safely

We ordered a gluten free pizza and asked about their safety. They reassured us that they use different utensils/pans/etc and that all of the toppings are gluten free. My celiac partner loved the food and feels good!

They offer gluten free pizza based for all the pizzas and all the toppings are already gluten free

Staff were very knowledgeable and very pleasant. Definitely recommend this place!
