Review of PIE by the Pound

Nope unfortunately not celiac safe. I ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese. I informed them I had celiac disease. When the pizza arrived I used my Nima and it tested positive for gluten. I was shocked because I had been here once before and their reviews were good. The owner come out and was mortified. He tried to figure the point of contamination. Unfortunately, I only had one capsule so I couldn’t test another pizza. I ended up getting sick anyhow because I had to use my finger to get a sample for the Nima test since the plastic knife and fork weren’t cutting properly. I was distracted when gluten was found and everyone came over. I ended up eating a gf muffin I had in my bag while my friend finished her pizza. I used the hand that touched the sample to eat and then remembered I had not washed after touching the pizza. By the end of the night I was super sick and was sick for the next few days. The owner gave me 2 free brownies and returned my money as an apology. He gave me his number so I could make sure he was present if I wanted to go back. Unfortunately, no matter how careful a pizzeria is, if it’s a shared kitchen with gluten, it’s the hardest food (in my opinion) to keep from getting cross contaminated. I will not risk going back here again.

Celiac friendly?
