When I came in, I asked the server if I could speak to a manager about their gluten-free options. The manager was very knowledgeable and gave me a list of pizza toppings and specialty pizzas that were gluten-free. There was a note that if you had to eat gluten-free but wanted to risk eating a topping that wasn’t on the list, they would not cook it in the gluten-free area and risk those with severe gluten allergies or celiac disease. The manager also told me there was a separate oven just for gluten-free pizzas. I felt very safe and ended up having a Build-Your-Own-Pizza with pepperoni and sausage and a little Greek salad. The group I was with was not gluten-free but when our food came out, there was a separate server who was only holding my gluten-free food to not risk cross-contamination.

I ordered a gluten free pizza. The restaurant made sure that the cook who prepared my pizza only dealt with my pizza and nothing else. They also make sure to cook the pizza separately from the rest of the pizzas. That same cook is the one who brought my pizza to my table making sure there is very little chance of cross contamination. I eat all the time and I have not had any problems. One of the few places I will eat at.

I got sick eating here. Even if i hadn’t, the pizza wasn’t very good. Tasted like frozen crust and the toppings were over powering.

Pre-made pizza crust. Not great, pretty burnt and has little to no flavor.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had previously been to the Mellow Mushroom in Charlottesville, VA and loved it. This location, however, changed dairy-free cheese brands to one that contains soy and we could not have. The pizzas were significantly smaller and burnt. The crust was not very good at all- very cardboard-tasting. Overall it was a very expensive, unsatisfying experience.

I had an excellent experience here today! The pizza was the best gf pizza I've had so far. Our server was excellent. I wanted to order a salad. She informed me that while the salad itself was made up of gf produce, they could not call it certified because it was not located separately in the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gf pizza! The waitress specifically asked if there was an allergy as soon as I ordered. When they brought out the pizza the server still had gloves on.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowlegable server. GF pizza came out separate from rest of order. Great experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered the pizza to go for my son with Celiac and it was ready on time. It was separated from all the other pizzas and my son was happy. We like that they have a fairly good selection of options that are GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great pizza. The manager brought my food separate from my gluten eating table mates and server was very attentive.

Delish pizzas- very knowledgeable staff and extra safe precautions. Fun atmosphere!! Recommended by a local Celiac for us out of towners!

So the GF pizza is okay, but the main problem is that the pizza is now smaller (down to 10"). However, it still costs the same, and combined with horribly long wait times (an hour or more), I can't recommend this. There are cheaper and better options.

This location opened recently. The staff is familiar with Celiac disease, the food options are good and most importantly, no sickness afterward :) Very fun atmosphere, too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A chain that always takes proper precautions. Several pizzas are certified gluten free. Quick service too.

Much better when eating it in person. I’ve never had a bad experience at any mellow mushroom when dining in, but take-out and delivery is 50/50 depending on the location. Unfortunately, for this location, take-out and delivery should be avoided if you cannot have cross-contact. I’ve had to stop ordering and tell family/friends that while yes, we can eat there, please don’t order it for parties.

Ordered a gluten free pizza and have no complaints whatsoever. Amazing taste, and no symptoms after. Server seemed knowledgeable, etc. honestly one of the better GF pizzas I’ve had. Since it’s a chain, always make sure to ensure your dietary needs.

Great GF pizza and vegan cheese option for the dairy free folk! Everything tastes great and I was assured they made GF food separately. The brownie dessert was good too for a frozen and wrapped treat, it tasted like a Little Debbie’s cosmic brownie!

My favorite GF pizza! We eat here at least once a month and I’ve never been sick from it. GF pizza takes longer of a wait, and that’s the only con I have.
