I have been to the Washington Square (Tigard) location a handful of times. The first time I came in the manager made a point of making sure my pizza was as gluten free as possible, even explaining to another employee how to get new meats out and to dig down in the veggies, etc. Today I went back again and the young man who helped me was obviously not interested in making sure my meal was as GF as possible. I kindly explained to him from the start that I have Celiac and asked him to dig down in the veggies. He continually rested his gloved hands on the contaminated counter and did not dig down into any of the ingredients. When I asked if he could use the fresh Canadian bacon/ham (which was right next to the almost gone container), he said no, he could not do that. I said, "Even if it means I could get sick from eating from the other one?" And he simply refused to open the new ham. When I asked to speak to the manager (who happened to be the same lady who had been friendly and helpful on my first visit), she became very defensive and rude and basically told me if I was that concerned about not being contaminated, then I should not eat there. The point I was trying to make was that I HAD eaten there before and they did a good job of helping me stay safe. Apparently their priorities have changed. The manager actually said this to me, "Well, our ovens run at almost 600 degrees, so if there was any gluten on your pizza, it would be gone after cooking it." Seriously?! Then, the boy aggressively made me a new pizza, left off several ingredients, and claimed it was now GF. Rude, poor customer service, did not get what I paid for, and will not be back. I'm sad, because I was initially so impressed with this company and their efforts to have GF sauces separate and the GF crust, but apparently, this has changed.
