Honestly some of the best pizza I’ve had… ever. This may seem like an exaggeration, but their gluten free pizza is so good. Expensive of course, but worth it occasionally. Not as many choices for gluten free, but they do have enough that I’m happy with it. It is prepped in a shared kitchen, but with a separate oven I believe. I’ve never had a problem coming here.

They had good gluten free and vegan options. They were careful and aware about cross contamination. They house the ingredients separately and use clean, dedicated utensils and space. Great experience!

Great gf pizza both times I went! I'm not from the area but got Kosmic Karma and it was delicious. The server asked if it was an allergy and they were careful about cross contamination. Highly recommend if you're looking for good pizza!

They've been awesome with my celiac the last few times I've gone! They're very considerate, they have a separate preparation space for all of the options on their specifically gluten-free menu! I like to order the Magical Mystery Tour on gluten free crust but they're always very careful to tell me which ingredients aren't stored in the special prep area and always clarify my limits and boundaries to talk about cross contamination potential. And I honestly think that the GF crust is just as good as the regular!

I ordered the 12inch gluten free pizza without cheese, caramelized onions, black olives and mushrooms. The pizza was ok and not my favorite dough made from sorghum, amaranth, teff and tapioca flour blend plus xanthum gum as it was a bit chewy. The Angry Orchard cider was good and the service was good too.

Went here with my GF kiddo. The staff was very friendly. Let the server know about the celiac. Told us which of the pizzas were GF. Kiddo decided on plain cheese. We were told they changed gloves, separate oven, etc., for gf. Good experience!
