A friend and I both have celiac and are lactose intolerant, and their gluten free pizza with vegan cheese is great! No issues at all. All we do is make sure the waiter knows it's for someone with celiac/a wheat allergy to emphasize the the risk of cross-contamination.

The pizza is good and our server was knowledgeable about celiacs and preventing cross contamination. They have a gluten free crust and four pizzas on their gluten free menu plus the option to create your own. The pizza was made in a dedicated part of the kitchen.

Wasnt the best gluten free pizza I've ever had, but it wasnt awful either. I've ate here several times and have had no reaction. However, I think cross contamination is a possibility here so eat at your own risk.

Price way higher than what’s needed. Also there is cross contamination in the kitchen, so I would not recommend for people with celiacs.

My fiancé and I have eaten here many times. I have never left sick, or been ill afterwards! They use Follow Your Heart vegan mozzarella and the gluten free crust isn’t bad! The service can be slower, so maybe wait til next time if you are in a hurry :)

Great restaurant! I am extremely sensitive, but was pleased to find they were very knowledgeable of how to handle Celiac preparations. Ordered the Veg Out gf pizza. Crust was crispy and delicious. Separate oven and kitchen area with dedicated handling. Worth it!

Service and pizza were great! No reactions. But, I was a little disappointed after seeing and smelling beautiful, bubbly large pizzas walking by and then having our server place a very small pie in front of myself, husband, and toddler. We judged our order based on looking around at other pies. We didn't realize that a gf dough meant a much smaller, thinner pizza would come our way. We didn't have time to order another so we split what we had and went on our way. Overall, great tasting but gf pie will only feed 1.5 people. Don't plan to share.

One star is extremely generous. I asked for a Stella Cidre. Then I asked about their speciality pies with a gf crust. She said that she couldn't guarantee it would be gluten free, I said I'd rather be safe than sorry so stuck with one of their gf options. I get the beer, take a sip and immediately realize this is an amazing tasting cider it tastes almost like real beer. Well, that's because it was real beer she gave me a Stella. Fast forward 30 minutes and I'm vomiting in their bathroom while my friend is speaking to the waitress about it. The waitress tells her I ordered a regular Stella. She explains I have celiac disease, and that the waitress had repeated it back to me. No discount or anything just an extremely insincere apology. I had to leave work because I was so sick. I emailed and the owner gave me some reply about how they do educate all of their staff on celiac disease. Well, it was a big red flag when I was asking about the safety of the gluten free pizza and she had just taken my Stella cidre order. They gave me a $30 gift card to use there. I'm not going back.

Good pizza with no reaction. Way too overpriced to do again. UDIs from the store is my pizza fix and at half the price of this totally worth it. But in terms of knowing about celiac they are solid.

The best gluten free pizza I have tasted. If you have dairy allergies as well they have Daiya cheese. It is a bit pricey but it is worth it in my opinion. Most of the staff actually seem knowledgeable about food allergies.

The food was awesome! Great pizza and the Kosmic Karma gluten free/vegan pizza rocked. I totally was shocked when our server asked I was Celiac and they made sure I got the correct pizza. The only downside was the service. It's like he took the name "Mellow Mushroom" a little too literally!

IMO, GF pizza is really hard to get right. Crusts are often either raw and doughy or tough amd crumbly. This place gets it right. The crust is 12" and very thin, but not so thin that it tastes like a cracker. I was really impressed. Servers are trained on cross-contamination practices and seem to know what they are doing. A little pricy but worth it for a treat.

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!
