It was stressful being there with a large group of non-gf people. When the waiter brought out the first pie, we asked if it was gluten free and he said, "I think so." Wrong answer. I said, "I don't want, I think so, I need certainty." It turned out it was someone else's non gf pizza. When they brought our pizzas, they didn't necessarily put them out in front of the people who ordered them, which obviously was uncomfortable for me, trying to keep my son's food safe from cross contamination. I had to use a napkin to hold the hot tray and move the pizza myself and then the waiter, without thinking, pushed two pizza trays together to make space and touched someone else's pizza to my son's gf pizza. Of course I freaked out and quickly removed the contaminated slices, but a different waitress told me she'd bring him a whole new pie, put a rush on it, and comp it. So, I appreciated that. I think it would have been fine if our whole party was gluten free and they certainly made good on it. But-what if I hadn't been watching like a hawk? Then my son might have gotten glutened. I'm still going to say it's Celiac friendly, clearly the first waiter had some learning to do, but I think I schooled him, but as always, diligence is a must.
