Super lovely environment and amazing with cross contamination. Servers are well educated on celiac and know the importance of no cross contamination. Such good food!

I get pizzas and salads here often and haven’t gotten sick yet and I’m generally pretty sensitive to cross contamination. It’s my understanding that they prepare the gluten free pizzas in a separate area as well. Very tasty pizzas and worth trying

Server informed me that they have a separate kitchen for GF! I haven’t had pizza in 5 months because of cross contamination in the past— this was THE BEST PIZZA EVER! Great service, wait was shorter than expected, great experience & no celiac attack—yay!

The waiter was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do to prevent cross contamination. My so said the pizza was very good. He usually is a light eater but he ate 4 slices.

I've a few good experiences here, and recently 2 bad ones. I'm very sensitive and have gotten sick ordering gluten free pizza the last 2 times (Jan and Feb 2017) I won't be going back.

This place is outstanding. Visiting from out of state, my girlfriend has celiac. One mention of celiac and our server was right on top of it. She did not wait for us to ask the usual question, she immediately told us everything a person with celiac wants to hear when trying to find a place in public to eat.

The food was pretty decent. I've had better gluten free pizza crust before. When I went there, the waiter wasn't really willing to accommodate to my food allergy when I asked for substitutes. I also thought it was strange that the only thing on their menu for gluten free was pizza. It would be nicer if they had a little more diversity for gluten free on their menu. The service was pleasant through, I might go back in the future.

My husband is Gluten-free and this pizza was delicious. Toppings were yummy, crust was perfect, etc. We watched through the window at the bar area and didn't see any cross contamination, but we were distracted a bit, so can't be 100% sure. Hubby didn't have any upset tummy the next few hours/days, so we give it 5 stars!

Also, our bill was only around $18 for the pizza with a few toppings and a soft drink, so not sure what the fuss is about the price. For a delicious gluten-free pizza we thought that was awesome!

So far it is the best GF pizza I ate in Greensboro. It is a little pricey but was worth it if you consider that being GF limits your options of going out for dinner. We manage to get our price down by purchasing groupons when they have them.

Had no stomach issue, perfect experience for me.

Everything about this experience was bad. The prices are outrageous. I paid $40 for two GF pizzas that combined barely had enough toppings to cover one pizza. But that is the least of my concerns, heck, a loaf of Udi GF bread is about $6. I watched as the guy in the back that is supposed to be making the GF pizzas in a "clean" place take out trays of frozen regular dough. He was wearing gloves but he touched every ball to unstick them from the trays. Then left the stacked trays about two feet away from the processing table designated for GF pizzas. He left the same gloves on and the same apron on when he pulled my pizzas out, put them on the table next to the stacked trays, cut and boxed them. When I confronted the manager she rudely informed me that they are properly trained on how to handle gluten free products. Well, guess what happened when I got home and ate half of one of the pizzas last night. I got an awful stomach ache, struggled to sleep through the night, and woke up today feeling like my insides are flipping. Now I paid way too much for pizza I can't even eat. Save yourself the money and pain and just buy an Udi's pizza crust, and make your own pizza at home. That's the only way to ensure there's no contamination.

I have celiac and have ate here at least 3 different occasions and have not gotten sick. However my celiac symptoms are inconsistent and really depends on how much gluten I accidentally consumed. They have a gluten free cauliflower crust which has a noticeable cauliflower flavor which I’m not too crazy about.

I always get sick. They don't handle cross contamination well. So if you are that sensitive, make pizza at home.

I had a great experience! They were super knowledgeable about gluten allergies and have a separate prep area for gluten free items, they change aprons and gloves. They also gives a dedicated GF oven. I did not get sick and it was so so good! New favorite pizza place!
