**Edit** I got really sick. I have other allergies (beef and shrimp) that it could have been from. I ate the GF Chicken Filippi. Approach with caution!
Delicious! So many options! Pasta and pizza. They also have 2 kinds of gf cheesecake. Server was so knowledgeable for other allergies as well! What she didn't know, she went and took pictures of ingredient list for us!
I absolutely loved this place. I felt so safe eating here as one of the waiters explained that the owner daughter has. They know what they’re doing. They have a whole allergy menu and you can build your own pizza. The pizza was amazing. And everybody was so friendly there.

Was assured they used a different pan and pizza cutter to cook the pizza. Felt sick soon after eating, and my margarita pizza tested positive for gluten with my Nima sensor.
Delicious gluten free cauliflower crust! You would never know it’s cauliflower. And they cook the gluten free pizzas in a separate oven.
Staff is very knowledgeable about Celiac. My son liked the GF pizza. Will definitely go back.
Great food and staff comfortable with celiac. One of the best GF pizza crusts I have had.
I found this restaurant on Find Me Gluten Free. We went to the Pacific Beach San Diego CA location. For gluten-free, they offered gluten-free noodles for pasta and gluten-free pizza crust. The gluten-free pizza was Absolutely fabulous!! The environment was fun and casual. The service was great! Another family member, ate vegan and another family member ate vegetarian. And of course, I have a gluten-free. I would definitely visit here again :)
Ravioli with pink sauce was the best, thin crust pizza also very delightful.
They have GF pasta and Coliflour crust. I went with pasta. Their homemade marinara sauce is excellent. Staff understands cross contamination.
Very friendly place. Staff knowledgable about gf. All pizza can be ordered with gf base and they have gf spaghetti. I had the pizza and it was delicious, went back a second time.
What a fun find! I had a lot of disappointments on my trip to San Diego. They don't seem to fully grasp gluten free. However, we came here and they fully got it. There are not many options. Just one type of pasta and then the pizza. Got the spaghetti with marinara and a sausage. I asked if they would bake it for me and they said absolutely! They also boiled the pasta in separate water. It was lovely pasta and their marinara was almost as good as mine! The gluten eaters in the family absolutely loved the pizza. Hope to come back on our next trip!

Gluten free pasta was so good! Friendly staff and made sure my meal was gluten free. A true Italian place!!
Taking a chance, I ordered the gluten-free pizza, and was pleasantly surprised with not only the good flavor, but, no gluten side effects.
Some of the best GF pizza I’ve ever had. Service is not so great, but totally worth the delicious food. Cross contamination is possible, but I had no problems with being gluten intolerant.
Good gluten free pizza, but kind of expensive for what you get. Certain managers understand needs of Celiacs completely, while other servers have no clue. Seek out a server who knows what you're talking about.
