They have a gluten free vegan crust which was actually pretty good! I got vegan cheese, peppers, and onions and overall it was great! They don’t have a separate oven for cooking GF pizzas but they cook it on a metal tin/tray to try to avoid cross-contamination. Didn’t get sick after and the pizza tasted great!

So nice they offer gluten free pizza prepared to prevent cross-contamination!

Interesting pizza toppings choices, like mashed potatoes and banana peppers.

I got the gf Supreme.

The restaurant and bar were almost at full capacity, but the bartender still was on top of service.

The bathroom was clean and it's in a cute downtown location.

You can go around the corner and walk through the graffiti alleyway.

They can make all but one pizza option GF. The server was very helpful and offered to have my pizza made in a separate disposable pan. The pizza was very good and they had multiple gf beers on tap! Our server mentioned they have a bunch of employees are gf so they were very conscience of this.

This is one of my family’s favorite pizza places in Rapid City!! We order take out regularly and dine in for date nights. They have a good gluten free crust that everyone in our family enjoys plus their unique pizza flavors are amazing!! You can ask for your pizza to be cooked on a foil tray to help prevent any potential cross-contact. One of the best things about this pizza joint is that they don’t make their own dough in house so there is not a bunch of gluten flour flying around in the air & they use cornmeal on the bottom of the pizza in the oven.

After talking with the waitress who was very nice there is NO separate prep station and ingredients are pulled from same container with same utensil. Risk for cross contamination was to high. We went to keystone next to Rushmore and found a safer option.

Awesome pizza! They made gluten free cheesy bread sticks and have an amazing gluten free crust for the pizza. It is a thin crust. And they have a separate oven for gluten free. One of the best pizzas I’ve had. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

This place was great! My daughter and I each had a GF pizza with left overs for the next day. They even had garlic bread that was GF which is not something I find often. My husband and son both also liked their non-GF pizza. We also had a great server although they were incredibly busy.

Solid place to eat. They only have pizza, and do have GF crusts. Everyone’s pizzas were delicious and they had bottled ciders. I am casein intolerant too and so was our server! He was able to make a good recommendation and assured me the food was prepared safe. No one got sick, so overall a tasty success!

I was very worried to eat here given it’s a pizza restaurant. But the server seemed confident when I told her I had celiac disease. She ran down the list of things they do for precautions, gloves, separate area for prep and it’s own pan. It was tasty and mist importantly I didn’t get sick. I’d eat here again for sure. Also, they had several GF drink options.

All their pizza options are available on gluten free crusts, and their salad options can be gluten free. The server asked me if I was celiac and so he told me they bake it on separate pans and are made separately to avoid cross contamination. Some of the best gluten free pizza I’ve had! (Ordered/shared the pepperoni and Bob’s popper) with a side salad and a cider. Feel just fine after dinner, a success!

Came here to have a gluten free pizza. I brought Cabot cheese because I am also lactose intolerant. They made me an amazing gluten free BBQ pizza with bacon, pineapple, and jalapeños. I also had a glass of gluten free Green’s dry hopped lager and guava flavored hard cider. Everything was good. I recommend stopping by this place.

Excellent GF pizza. The server was knowledgeable and so pleasant. I will definitely make a bee line for this place the next time I'm in Rapid City

Not sure about specific cross-contamination efforts, but their GF beer options and menu suggest they have general awareness and discernment of GF needs. Recommend those with concerns over process ask; they were extremely friendly / knowledgeable.

Food and drinks were absolutely delicious - top of list on great overall experience!

Have Celiac's and sensitive to cross contamination. Have never had an issue or flare up of symptoms eating the Ale Houses gluten free pizza. They serve gluten free beer too. Including gluten free IPA. Wonderful with the pizza!

My boyfriend with celiac had a cider and some gf pizza and did not get sick. Pizzas are served on some sort of cutting board though so if you are super sensitive there might be cross contamination and you should ask for it on a plate.

Favorite of so many patrons, numerous gf beer selections from Greens along with numerous wall of beer choices. All pizzas can be made on housemade gf crust. Loved the Bob's Popper pizza and the seasonally available, locally grown, heirloom tomato pizza. Recommend highly and will return.

I am celiac and had no reactions to the Popper gf pizza - so good! They said all but one pizza could be made gluten free. They also have lots of gf beer options.. I especially love the Greens brand. Very very good, awesome service, awesome place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

THE BEST PIZZA IN RAPID CITY!! Oh my gosh I cannot even tell you how amazing this pizza is. You need to try for yourself. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They even have gluten free beer, with options!! There is a dubbel ale, amber ale, and an IPA. I comes from a bottle and they pour it into a glass. It is called Green's. I recommend the Bobs Popper pizza or the Mashed Potato pizza. So yummy. Their hot sauces are also gluten free just be careful picking it up and then picking up your pizza. The Caesar salad minus croutons is also delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
