Since being diagnosed with celiac disease, the only thing I have missed is "easy" pizza that still tastes good. Either we do somewhere and they have a GF crust but not a dedicated over or they have both but it tastes terrible. I finally have a pizza! After reading the MANY positive reviews, I made a reservation at Marcella's and made sure to mention that I had CD. When I got there, they acknowledged the need for a GF menu and brought it to the table. The server, Nick, ALSO acknowledged my need for GF safety and assured me that it would not be an issue. When the server is on board, I always feel better. To my surprise, Chef James came out to greet us and let me know that they were prepared to make and experienced at making GF selections. He was very proud to let us know that Marcella's takes food allergies very seriously. I felt great! I ordered the GF Margherita D.O.C. pizza and small salad. Nick brought out a basket of good gluten free bread. It was a bit dense but very herby and flavorful. The salad was just like any side salad you would expect. The pizza was a bit more like a flatbread pizza BUT the crust was slightly crispy and slightly chewy and it tasted like CRUST! Not some odd bland, wheaty mixture. I was thrilled. I ate a little over half before I got full and then I took the rest home (which was finished off the next night). I did not get sick the next day nor did I experience any symptoms that evening. Right now, if I'm jones-ing pizza, this is going to be my go-to. Very pleased with the experience. Oh, and if you don't think they aren't on top of the allergy-thing, take a look at the receipt.
