Welp I thought this place was celiac safe but definitely not. I had light symptoms on the first time eating it so wasn’t sure but then ate it again the next day. Usually takes a day for my symptoms to hit. Not a good day. Haven’t felt like this in 6 months 😩

Review
We have ordered a few times pizza from this place and it’s a hit and miss with the gluten. We test them all the time with Nima and sometimes we get lucky and sometimes we don’t. At a point that we have to have the oven ready in case the pizza is not GF. They either have a really bad cross contamination problem or the “sterile environment” needs to be audited.

Review
Literally so good. My only complaint is the edges are a bit hard but the flavor is amazing and it didn’t crumple so it’s a 10 in my book. I don’t love deep dish so I didn’t get it but I loved that I had the OPTION. I feel like that’s so rare. I would definitely come here again.

Gluten free options, yes. But the Chicago style gluten free deep dish pizza was mediocre at best. Toppings were delicious, however the crust was chewy and challenging to eat.

Cross contamination 😔
Flavor was delicious but GF crust was so hard you could hear it scrape my teeth and I got sick from a cross contamination

I’ve always loved deep dish pizza so when I got diagnosed with celiac I was worried I’d never be able to enjoy it again. Thankfully, I live right by a Lou Malnatis location and get their deep dish GF pizza all the time!! It is definitely the most authentic GF deep dish crust and I’ve personally never gotten sick from their pizza (I’ve ordered it a ton).

They have the thin and deep dish crusts made off site to help minimize the cross contact. But due to this they have limited sizes available. Also, just me personally, I don't care for thee flavor of their crusts.
