I called first and spoke to the manager about their procedures for GF prep and baking of pizzas. She was knowledgeable and answered in detail about the separate food cart for safe toppings, separate oven for GF pizzas only, and what pizzas and toppings could be done celiac-safely. Dough for both kinds of pizza are not made in house, and they are rolled out with corn meal. My daughter enjoyed her pizza and felt well afterward. We will return here.

Mellow Mushroom is a go-to for us and we never have issues. We went to this location several times on our vacation and will go again!

Best gluten free pizza I’ve had eating out so far! The crust was thin, and nothing special, but the sauce and toppings were AMAZING. I haven’t had any reaction to it. Absolutely delicious! They offered a GF flour crust and a cauliflower crust option. I had the GF flour crust.

They offer gluten free pizza that is pretty good. Lots of options for toppings. As a celiac, I have eaten here a few times now and have not gotten sick. They bake the pizza on a baking pan instead of directly onto the oven surface. They are familiar with celiac and gluten free. My Nima sensor did not detect gluten in the Pizza that was ordered from the gluten safe menu.

Fantastic pizza and the staff was very knowledgeable on what was certified and what wasn’t!

This pizza was AMAZING, I got the signature "Kosmic Karma" on their GF crust. I was told that their GF pizzas are prepared in a designated space and baked in a dedicated oven (very impressive). It's a busy (and loud) restaurant so of course I was a little nervous but Nima Sensor assuaged my worries with no gluten detected.

My son is Celiac and I am gluten sensitive and we had a great experience here. The gluten free pizza is certified and baked in a separate area and it is delicious. My son had the cheese, I had the Veg with vegan cheese and my husband had the House Special and they were all delicious. We were with a big party and the service and the ambiance was terrific. Highly recommend!

Eaten there a few times and it was good. However, one time they brought me the wrong crust (not gluten-free). I didn't realize it until after I had taken a bite. 😠🤢

We intentionally waited about 5 months for this location to work out the new restaurant kinks to avoid risk of contamination. No worries - food was delicious and my little celiac daughter didn’t have any ill effects. We all had gluten free cheese pizzas and house salad.

Felt really safe eating the pizza that I got. They do a really good job of keeping everything clean.

Wasn’t impressed by the pizza though, it tasted pretty generic and I’ve had better. I think the crust is udi’s or some other brand that I’ve had before, and they only have 10”. The sauce and cheese and toppings were just fine. Not bad, not amazing. I’d probably come here again!

Edited 3/19/25: I was really craving pizza and salad and this location was very convenient so I decided to give it another chance. I am glad I did. I got a Greek salad and I got a gluten-free cosmic karma and they were both delicious!

I want to start by saying I have been to more than a few MM and had my fair share of GF pizzas from all over. I did not enjoy my pizza here last night. I have gotten the Kosmic Karma from other MM and loved it but didn’t here. I will not be coming to this location again.

Was not impressed with the pizza due to the crust. I ordered this to-go and ended up just eating the toppings off of my crust after taking one bite.
