District of Pi

Fantastic celiac friendly restaurant! The wait staff was very knowledgeable confidently answered any questions we had. We liked it so much that we ate there 4 out of 5 nights for dinner. Best gluten free pizza in North America, period! Since being diagnosed in 2015, I make it a point to try gluten free pizza whenever it’s available. The wings and chips & dip were also great. Highly recommend will definitely go back again, two thumbs up!!! 👍👍

I ordered the Central West End pizza online. Since there’s no spot for notes, I called the restaurant to make sure they knew to take the proper precautions. They assured me the gluten free pizza is baked in a separate oven and handled separately too. I had no issues after eating. The pizza was really good too. I definitely recommend!

I have been here twice and the pizza was excellent both times! My favorite was The Delmar (chicken BBQ), but The Hill (Italian meats) was very tasty too. I split The Hill with a gluten eater and they said it was great GF crust. It’s not paper thin and even had a nice chew to it. I told the staff I have a gluten allergy both times and they assured to me they take precautions. They also asked the kitchen to ensure the pepperoni and salami were gluten free. Great food and cool atmosphere.

Staff was knowledgeable about celiac and took precautions to prevent cross contamination. My son who has celiac had a plain GF pizza and didn't get sick. It tasted great too! The rest of us ate a delicious deep dish vegetarian pizza.

One of my all time favorite GF pizzas! The crust is great. My favorite is the “Central West End” pizza with fresh tomatoes, goat cheese, prosciutto, and arugula. Delicious!!!

The first table we sat at had a lot of crumbs. We were the first guests at lunch, so I don’t think they did a good job cleaning from the night before. We moved tables. That said, the pizza was really good and felt safe. No reaction.

Loved this place! I have allergies to gluten, dairy and soy. This was the best GF/DF pizza I’ve ever had. Crust was tasty and the cheese was melty. Service was friendly and quick. My family loved their “regular” pizzas and garlic knots. Not a ton of GF/DF choices besides the pizza, but highly recommend for GF/DF pizza!

Fantastic gluten free pizza. I agree that it’s one of the absolute best crusts I’ve had since having to cut out gluten. It’s not a cracker with toppings on it like most places. I could actually eat the crust! If I didn’t live across the country this would be my new go to pizza place.

The ambience and staff 10/10! Despite the fact that the pizza was incredible- it is definitely not safe for celiacs. I admit I’m really sensitive to flour but, just walking in I could feel the gluten in the air. Halfway through my pizza I got really sick. If you’re not sensitive definitely go there it’s so good!

Server knew their stuff, had some great gf crust! My friend said it was just as good or better then reg crust!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The server was knowledgeable about the gluten free offerings and explained how cross contamination is avoided in the kitchen — the chefs are trained to avoid it. The gluten free food came out separately from the gluten full food. There was even a gluten free dessert! My son with celiac had no pain after eating here. Highly recommended for people with celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've eaten here multiple times before (in DC, Bethesda, and St. Louis) and have had great meals. Tonight the pizza was not good but worse I came home and was immediately sick-- I'm assuming cross contamination-- beware if you have celiac!

Celiac friendly?

No

I have eaten at Pi in DC and St Louis. Loved their crust. Went this week and was served a very different crust. The waitress said it was new. More like bread than pizza crust. Definately not good

Knowledgeable staff, pizza was good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gf crust was pretty good, like a crispy thin crust, but I was disappointed because the waiter pointed me to the only two ingredients they for sure knew were gf, the vegan dairy free cheese and vegan Italian sausage. I ended up getting a veggie pizza to be on the safe side but it would’ve been nice to have pepperoni or sausage on it. Overall the experience was good but it isn’t the best gf pizza I’ve ever had and I wish the server was more knowledgeable about which meats were gf.

Amazing gf pizza! I’m still dreaming about it. I’m a celiac and didn’t get sick.

Best pizza I've ever had while gfree, super nice and helpful staff, great all around

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So my wife and I tried this place tonight based on the reviews. I have celiac and need to eat GF, she does not. We both had a Hill without Olives. She really likes her pizza and ate more of hers than I did mine. I thought mine was very good but expected a little more flavor.

The crust o. The GF pizza here is really good and it is more like a hand tossed and it tastes like a real pizza crust (like the old days). I would’ve given them 5 stars but the service was a little slow and I needed to add pepper flakes to get the flavors to pop. Other than that it was quite good and we’d go back.

I did NOT get sick and my blood sugar didn’t pop like it does with many other places. I’d recommend trying this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gf pizza ever. Great service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was stressed, as always with pizza place, but they know what they are doing and cook the pizza separately in dedicated oven. My son loved it but too greasy crust for my wife. I guess all taste are in the nature! Great place love the ambiance.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF pizza. Waiter was very knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome pizza. Dairy free cheese that was good as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love their GF crust! It’s not super thin, it was firm & crunchy and actually cooked through! I had one with spicy sausage and cherry peppers! The bartender let me know that they change gloves and the GF pizza is cooked on special pans.

Terrible experience with our server. They asked us our drink orders 3 times. We ordered a GF pizza with half one kind and half another. The pizza we got was only one kind, which we brushed off and started eating because the crust looked like a GF crust. The server came by and immediately said that it was NOT the GF crust, after I had had a few bites. They apologized, offered a comped GF pizza, the supervisor came by and asked if we wanted to file an incident report. We said no but I’m regretting it now.

The server was very friendly. The pizza was good but a little bit mealy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were only in the mood for drinks and dessert. This place hit the spot!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First time there was fine, pizza was delicious, no issues getting sick. Second time I got super sick and all symptoms resembled getting glutened. I won’t be going back and definitely discourage any celiacs from going.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent food. My 12 year old Celiac kid LOVED this pizza. Staff was knowledgeable and attentive. My 5yo non-Celiac loves the pizza as well. Will definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
