Review
We ate there for dinner. The GF entree and salad options on the menu were clearly marked and the two we chose (one of each) tasted very good. Unfortunately we made the mistake of relying on our waiter's memory when ordering dessert and got one that was not GF; the reaction set in within an hour. (Note to self: Had we just checked the clear signage at the dessert case we could have avoided this one).

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I appreciated the staff and restaurant so much. They were extremely kind and informative and genuinely had the best GF PIZZA and cauliflower wings and donut bites I’ve ever tasted in my life. Really a great place and highly recommend for fellow GF people.

Not sure why this place is labeled as italian food or that there is a website posted not associated with the restaurant (real link: https://www.juliasveg.com). Whenever i have eaten here i have never gotten sick (but have never ventured for the pizza). Had the best vegan/gf lemon curd ever here and especially love their salads. I appreciate the add on mushrooms and the staff has always been so friendly and helpful

I’m celiac tried to eat there … the hostess was super rude would not even make with me- than told the guy behind me to add his name to the list and gave him a
fresh response as well- walked away
Review
Great GF pizza crust. Ordered the California pizza with no cheese and it was delicious. Not your typical cardboard crust. We had to ask to make sure it was GF because it looked too good. Service was excellent. It was Pretty expensive. 12 inch pizza and two small salads, no beverages, was $60 so just be aware. But for a splurge it is worth it.

Review
Dana was my server and it was a pleasure to navigate the menu with her, because she was aware of celiac disease and remembered to avoid suggesting fried or baked items that weren’t safe for me.

Review
I ate here recently and had a pretty good experience. The waiter was not super familiar with Celiac disease but was quick to check with owner. The owner said they were 95% sure that cross contamination wouldn’t be issue. His only concern was that they do make pizza in the kitchen and flour might find its way around.
I took the risk and got the yellow curry was delicious, and I didn’t get sick. Not sure if I would return but it did work out for me.

The food is delicious and the chiefs are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to celiac disease and the impact of cross contamination. I am very sensitive when it comes to cross contamination; however, I’ve never gotten sick eating here :)
