As a severe Celiac, pieology is not an option for me. All of the toppings are the same as those put on the normal pizza, and cross contamination is bound to happen whether or not you are able to get fresh toppings, which is nearly impossible. If you are doing gluten free for a diet or are slightly intolerant, then go for it, but if you are at all sensitive don't!

The gluten free pizza costs $2 more than the regular. They keep the crust in a closed refrigerator and use designated boards for cooking. When you order the GF crust, they ask if you have an allergy or if it is a preference. If you answer that you have an allergy, they usually ask if you'd like them to change gloves. If the worker forgets to ask, you can always request it. I've tried both ways and felt glutened when I did not request the glove change. If you get a glove change, they will bring out a separate container of oil and red sauce as well as a separate container for the mozzarella cheese. The other toppings are taken from the original containers. Considering that this is not a dedicated gluten free facility, they do put forth a lot of effort in trying to prevent cross contamination.

Ordered a gluten free pizza and the staff was super nice and asked about safety precautions along the way. Change gloves, change spoons, cook the pizza in a pan so it doesn’t touch the oven. I appreciate the effort and enjoyed my pizza, but I wouldn’t know how safe the pizza would be for someone with a more severe sensitivity than me. If you go on the website and build a gluten free pizza on the location you’re planning on going to, it’ll only list the ingredients that are gluten free if you want an idea of your options before going.

Great experience. Gluten free crust, washed hands and changed gloves, had separate utensils and sauces bins to prevent cross contamination. Also separate pizza cutter. Very impressed.

This is a fairly new pizza place in Honolulu and is close to the University. When I said i was celiac, the server changed her gloves and was careful about preparing my pizza and cooking it. You choose all the toppings you want so it’s pretty easy to order a pizza you like. The restaurant was busy so that speaks volumes.

Pieology is a franchise that makes reasonable pizza in front of you the way Chipotle makes your burritos. Your pizza will pass through a few hands. They have gluten free crusts and cauliflower crusts. The first lady that pulled out my gf crust clearly has no idea what celiac is when I mentioned it, and didn't change her gloves. To her, this was just another pizza. The second and third ladies did understand celiac and followed good procedures. My toppings were got fresh from the back with new gloves to prevent cross contamination and the pizza was put in the oven on special metal plate, not the wooden ones like for the others. So clearly, this was a case of one person not being trained well. Anyway, the gf crust was a bad cracker, so I wouldn't recommend anyone going here. There's better gf crust around. Toppings were fine.
