Contaminated gluten free pizza! Front service was knowledgeable, typical "one small" gluten free pizza for $25. Kitchen staff changed gloves to box but then used common tools (pizza shovel and cutter). Got dosed with gluten, got sick from the cross contamination. They also make all their own dough except for the gluten free crust. Claimed to cook on a separate sheet. Pizza was only average, not worth trying again. Couldn't view most of kitchen prep etc. but there were so many employees for a dead wednesday afternoon (3:30pm). There was a definite language barrier (to the point phones were being used for translation) which only concerns me in that without any bi-lingual staff training on something like gluten free might be near impossible. They were real friendly but sorry to say this will always have a red flag and be a hard pass for me.

They described their process as using new utensils and getting fresh ingredients from unopened bags to reduce cross contamination. My guts still unstable by travel but I enjoyed it! They helped make it dairy free for me as well.
Update: went back and they said they couldn’t make anything safe for me.

This is a chain with dozens of locations in California. The Mangrove parlor in Chico offers only one size of gluten free and it is fairly small. But it is quite tasty, particularly when ordered with pesto sauce. The best in town in my estimation. Pizza usually ready in 20 minutes.

We visited here because we heard they have a gluten free crust. My child is gluten sensitive. They have a gluten-free 10-inch crust as well as a cauliflower crust option. They seemed knowledgeable enough and asked if we were gluten sensitive or had Celiac. They said they could make sure there was no cross contamination.
My kid had no issues after eating here.

Avoid if celiac. The staff didn't know what gluten allergy or celiac disease meant and told me they cook everything on the same stone so cross contamination is guaranteed. I left without risking it.

I work here. The restaurant cannot guarantee a complete gluten free experience, due to cross contamination. However, we do take the utmost care handling our gluten free orders. Every gluten free crust is cooked on top of a clean cut of parchment paper and cut with a clean knife. We have two types of gluten free crusts, both thin, one is cauliflower and the other is unlabeled. Both are small size only and are an upcharge of $4. We also offer daiya vegan cheese, for an upcharge of $2 on smalls. Our marinara sauce has no cheese or flour, however the same utensils are used to spread the sauce on all the pizzas. Same for toppings. All in all, not recommended for celiacs, but we do take care as much as we can.
