They always take fantastic care of me - I ask them to change their gloves, get new sauce and ladle, wash a pan for the pizza itself and they do all of it without complaint. Just let them know you have an allergy and they will warn you the stove isn't gluten free and there can be cross contamination.

Server changed her gloves at my request, but then used a ladle and red sauce used on regular crust, so she gets about a 50 percent safety rating. It's unlikely to bother me too much but someone with celiac should take care of give careful instructions.

If you don't go when they are busy they take extra care making your pizza. You will want to remind them to use a clean pizza tray & use a different sauce that is not gluten contaminated

Their pizza is tasty, but it comes in direct contact with shared surfaces throughout the prep process (same oven surface, same peel/oven paddle, sometimes the same cutter). Not a safe place for someone with celiac or severe sensitivity.

The employees are so very helpful. I asked for a gf crust and they asked me if I'd like them to change gloves abd/or use a clean pizza cutter. I was surprised and said yes to both since I have Celiac. They were super careful and accommodating to be sure there was as little cross-contamination as possible.

Best GF pizza in town. Tons of toppings and the crust is really good. I'm celiac and there is a chance for cross contamination but I've been there 5 or 6 times and haven't had any problems.

I'm impressed! Not only do they offer a gf white sauce, but offering Daiya cheese is amazing. I am not dairy free but I used to be and I appreciate when restaurants offer the option. And Daiya has the best df cheese option I've found.

Now, on to my pizza. Oh so many options! And, just like it says outside, oh so fast. And yes, it taste delicious. :-) I took away one star because the rim of mine, and my dining companion's pizzas were charred black. A minor issue that will not keep me from returning. :-)

I went to one in Denver recently, and was a little disappointed because they asked me if I needed gluten free for an allergy, and when I said yes, all they did was warn me that there was a risk of cross-contamination. I did not get sick, but they didn't really take any precautions at all. Here in the Springs, though, they immediately asked me if I needed them to change gloves, and everyone who handled my pizza did. They also got my toppings from fresh containers instead of the ones that had been CC'd. The staff was also knowledgable about the ingredients in their sauces (when I said dairy-free cheese, she immediately warned me that the sauce has some cheese in it), and they were very accommodating and friendly! Excellent gluten free crust (my mom said it tasted really close to their regular crust), and they also serve Daiya cheese, for those avoiding dairy. Definitely will be back! Also, the caramelized pear tea is awesome!

Update: The staff wasn't as careful the second time I went in. If you're really sensitive, you'll want to be diligent, but I still did not have a problem.

Had gf crust but there was lots of wheat flour in the air. We are celiac and thought there might be a cross contamination issue so we did not eat there.

GF crust, and a huge list of quality toppings. There is a comprehensive allergen and ingredients list on their website, according to which their sauces are all GF as well. In fact, the only topping they list as having gluten is the crumbled meatballs.All that said, the pies are all baked in the same oven, and cross contamination is possible.

Awesome gluten free pizza. Choose your own toppings and all but one is gluten free. They all changed gloves without us asking and even had a separate pizza cutter for gluten free. Will definitely be back!

We ordered a gluten friendly crust in May. We explained the need for no cross contamination and the staff was amazing. My son enjoyed his pizza with no issues. Fast forward to August and we return hoping for the same experience. The gf pizza was baked without a pan or parchment so it touched the oven surface like the regular pizzas and was pulled out with the same tool. They do not have appropriate protocol to avoid cross contamination and now my son is sick. We can't return. So sad

George, Alex, and Ryan gave phenomenal customer service, especially with my gluten allergy. They were patient and kind especially since I had to use ingredients from the back due to my allergy and are very knowledgeable on cross contamination. Plus, the food here was fantastic. I definitely recommend!!!

Gluten Free and Cauliflower Pizza options. Change of gloves practice in use. High contamination risk as in most pizza establishments due to frequency of changing gloves, use of same oven racks, etc… Cauliflower crust is delicious, especially when ordered “well done” LLP

My celiac son was glutened sitting in the restaurant with friends because there is so much flour in the air. All food is cross contaminated as they put flour on the crusts and then put their hands in the toppings.
