I’ve eaten at this location a couple times and it’s been fine. I’m pretty sensitive to cross contamination but haven’t had issues. I do the usual chipotle precautions: no cheese, no lettuce, because I feel like those are always glutened.

I love lunch on the go with Chipotle and have been eating at this location for a few years. I always stick with a salad or bowl. Stay away from the two items that workers put their gloved hands in: shredded cheese and lettuce. The lettuce for salads they seem to use tongs. Not so much at the end of the assembly line. I’ve never even asked them to change gloves and following the no cheese/no shredded lettuce rule has been enough to keep me from getting sick.

I used to eat at Chipotle all the time when I first was diagnosed with Celiac Disease- I always asked them to change their gloves and didn’t order anything that seemed to be contaminated from the flour tortillas but, for some reason I started to get sick after eating there. After 2 consecutive times- I stopped going. Wish I could still eat there, it was a “go-to” for me.

Chipotle is usually a safe place to eat while traveling. Unfortunately, this time we got pay ahead carry out. Ended up with flour tortillas instead of hard corn. Thankfully, I didn't eat them.

I eat Chipotle regularly with few issues (controversial in celiac circles, I know), but this is one of the worst ones out there. The safety is similar to all other Chipotles, but they cannot handle the demand volume so be prepared to have half the toppings you asked for and an hour plus wait for mobile orders when the university is in session. Don’t even try getting fajita veggies or chips. Go to the one on Baum or the one on Carnegie’s campus for your own good (but to be honest all the Pittsburgh Chipotles have similar problems).

I always get the same order and have not encountered any issues. Bowl- caritas and steak, nothing dairy, no beans, dressing side, chips and guac, and a fizzy izzy. Knock on wood never had an upset stomach

I frequent this location regularly and I have never had an issue. The bowls are a highlight of my week. The staff are very attentive when I say I have a gluten allergy (easier than explaining celiac).

When you walk in and your daughter tells the server she has celiac and they start taking off their gloves to change them without being asked you know you are in the right place! Didn’t have to ask for any protocols. They were proactive and well informed. Always love Chipotle because my daughter can eat as close to “normal” as possible. Great experience at this location!!!

Most of the time I can eat here without a problem. Every once in a while there’s contamination. But the food is good and relatively cheap and healthy, so I usually take the risk if I need something quick or am in an unfamiliar area. Probably don’t eat here if you’re severely allergic.
