The cauliflower crust pizza was great. No issues. I had this pizza: Portabella Veggie Baby Portabella mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, red onions, mozzarella, basil pesto, topped with fresh basil. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.
I was shown a menu that was intended for staff only, and advised by a nice employee whose mom is gluten free on what is safe to eat. All in all, I had a nice lunch: salad with delicious dressing and some bean salad. I'll gladly eat there again
when i asked for an allergen menu they sent a girl out with it that is also gluten sensitive. she was very nice and said they are currently working n on gf bread. the chicken salad and red quinoa salad and all the other salads with no croutons are all gf. i ordered the chicken salad that came with a slice of tomato and a side. i also ordered the bean salad. both good

Horrible service. Salads are the only thing gluten free. Not very friendly about being asked what they're gluten free options are.
The staff isn't willing to help you besides rolling their eyes and looking at the allergen list behind the counter. I never saw it myself and when I asked to speak to a cook about specifying ingredients, the girl at the counter ignored me. Not many choices for those with allergies. I also asked for no croutons, and that wasn't done either. Everything is iffy, but I risked the Southern Salad.

I ordered the cauliflower crust here, and specifically told the cashier that I had a wheat allergy and asked what they did with that (if the answer was “I don’t know” or anything of that sorts, I probably would’ve gone somewhere else) and she said that they switched gloves, so I thought I would be okay. I was wrong. I can only assume from my feelings a couple hours after that they didn’t seem to take any precautions to prevent cross contamination. I am incredibly sick and that’s the only thing I ate recently today.
Newk’s is normally a great place to get a GF salad. However this location put croutons in my salad and then the manager pushed back instead of apologizing when I took it up to the counter. Do not go to this location.
The main menu displayed doesn't include labeling for gluten friendly items, but the website was easy enough to navigate to figure out what was safe. Had the full size Garden Salad with balsamic vinaigrette (vegan) with no issues. Newk's is one of our trusted places to eat when we travel & this location was great for us. Friendly service, too. Would return when coming through Meridian next time.
They gave a “gluten-friendly” menu. Five different salads. Cauliflower crust based pizzas. GF salad dressings. Greek salad worked fine, as expected. Works well if all you want is a salad.
Great job fixing any pizza with cauliflower crust!! Add a salad For a great meal.
