I decided to try a sandwich from here and got horribly sick. Definitely won’t be going back again.

Attempted to eat here tonight. They offer gluten free pizza but it clearly states on the menu that they cannot guarantee a celiac-safe cooking space. Did not want to take the chance.

I got the BBQ Pizza and it was very tasty. One of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had. Any pizza could be made gf and our waitress said they put the gf crust on a separate metal pan in the pizza oven. Not entirely sure how safe it was because all of the pizzas go in the same small wood-fired oven, but I didn’t get sick.

Had the Madonna and build your own pizza, really good GF crust. Not Celiac safe AT ALL. Non GF family were not impressed with the regular pasta dishes they ordered

Possibly the best GF pizza we've ever had. Definitely top 3. Excellent & knowledgeable servers, nice & casual atmosphere. Getting to actually have wood fired pizza, complete with mild char, was amazing. All the cheese, toppings, etc were high quality and delicious as well. There was a little bit of a wait, but it's right across from a local brewery with GF options, which honestly made the wait a wonderful experience.

I haven’t had gluten free pizza from a restaurant in over a year because it’s hard to find a place to trust. After lots of research, this place appeared to be the best bet. As soon as we got sat I let the waitress know about Celiac and she assured me that they would take good care and change gloves, use different utensils, etc. We were sitting very close to the kitchen, and the guy with no gloves at all unwrapped the precooked GF crust then dunked the same marinara spoon to spread the sauce as he had been using on all of the regular pizzas. We called the waitress over and she said they could use another spoon and looked very confused when we explained all of the marinara has gluten in it because he’s been dunking the same spoon already. We asked her to the cancel the order and she was very annoyed and rolled her eyes saying “well we have lots of people eat here just fine!”. So if you’re one of the fad diet people that says you can’t have gluten, you’ll “eat here just fine!” Otherwise, steer clear of this place!

This place was packed, which tells you it’s an amazing restaurant. We all had pizza. My daughter & husband are celiac and loved the pizza. A nice crispy style pizza that is reminiscent of gluten full pizzas 🍕 My husband also has a corn allergy which always makes eating pizza out a challenge!! This pizza was also corn free, made with cauliflower. No one got sick. They also serve hard cider, gingers revenge and wine. Highly recommend eating there.

Finding this place was such a happy accident. The GF crust was AMAZING. It's made in house and baked in the wood fired oven so risk of CC exists. But they are willing to cook it on a pan in the oven to minimize risk. The staff was also very knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt very safe eating here. They have a HF pasta option with less risk.of CC too. They have an amazing selection of pizza toppings and even vegan cheese. Although I ordered without cheese and didn't miss it a bit. The pizza sauce is sooo good!

Best and safest gluten- and dairy-free pizza I’ve ever had! I’m obsessed! I am extreeeeeemely sensitive to gluten and had no problems. I also am dairy intolerant, so to have an option for vegan and GF cheese was absolutely fantastic! Bless them!

It was fabulous!! Calliope was our server. She was very knowledgeable about celiac. She explained they would take all precautions when handling food. They would wear gloves, use different pizza cutter etc. I had GF soup, bruschetta and pizza.

Have a gluten disclaimer, not a gf kitchen. But the BEST gf pizza I've ever had! It was a new dough recipe and it was amazing. I am extremely sensitive and I had zero reaction. Will definitely be visiting again.

My son wasn’t really fond of the crust but he had no problems. He had a house salad and the fun guy pizza. They cook the gf pizza crust in the morning separate from the others but add toppings and heat it up on a pan.

By far it was the best gluten free crust I ever had and my friend who can have regular crust even liked it. They have Omission which is gluten removed beer. The pizza was very good and I felt fine afterwards.

Amazing gluten free pizza crust. The menu also offers gluten free (chickpea based) pasta. The best compliment I can give is that I was concerned the crust wasn’t gluten free because it was so chewy and delicious.

A little hole in the wall place. It wasn’t very clean and there were flies everywhere but the gf pizza was very good and I did not get sick. I believe they do cook the pizzas in the same oven as the regular ones though. I’m not sensitive to cross contamination. A good pizza place. There dough is made in house.

Good food, but all pizza is in the same oven on the same grates, and they use the same paddles to get the pizzas out of the oven. Definite cross contamination. They do have other gluten-free options, though.

Food was outstanding! I only gave 4 stars because the menu says that all servers are trained to be gluten free knowledgeable and that you should ask for gluten free information card. None of the three servers had any idea what I was talking about even though I was following the directions on the printed menu. That didn't instill confidence! The server seemed to be able to answer my questions and seemed to think I could order any speciality pizza. (That seemed to be confirmed when I later read the website.). The pizza was absolutely delicious! I ordered the florentine with bacon, chicken, spinach and fresh tomatoes and substituted cream sauce for the olive oil. Yum! According to the website they also have a gluten free dessert, but unfortunately the server didn't mention that and I checked the website after we left. While I think that a refresher course for the staff is overdue, the pizza was best GF pizza ever!
