Review


We decided to try Pizza Pie Café while on a little stop-over in Logan, based on this app. and reviews.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Ever since I found out I can't have gluten, I don't get too excited about going to new restaurants because I never know how much the staff is familiar with GF.

Upon entering, we were greeted by the most friendly, up-beat manager, Oliver. He explained how the restaurant works (for non-GFers, they just pay and use the pizza, pasta, and salad bars, and for GFers, they pay $2 more and can get an entire GF pizza and a serving of GF pasta, plus the endless salad bar). He had a lot of knowledge about gluten, and knew which pizza toppings I could not have, even suggesting alternatives.

I ended up getting 1/2 FIREFIGHTER pizza and 1/2 make-your-own.

I was still skeptical.

We headed to the pasta station, and my family got their food. We headed to the pizza station (which was pretty impressive with loads of regular and dessert pizzas) and my family got their food. We headed to the salad bar, where we all got our food. ALL their dressings are GF, according to the manager. Their Italian and poppyseed dressings were a bit too gooey, but the ranch was really yummy. I used ranch and some balsamic vinegar. I really liked that they had spinach for a green leafy option.

Upon sitting down, my pizza was brought to me after about 5 minutes. It was hot, delicious, and a very thin crust. YUMMY. I enjoyed that pizza!

I had to wait for quite a while for my pasta, which the manager cooked personally, and was very apologetic at how long it took. I got the sauce on the side (half pesto - YUM, and half marinara - YUM). The pasta wasn't quite cooked and could have probably used another minute or two, but I appreciated the effort. Also, with all the pizza I ate, I really wasn't interested in pasta.

Overall, a great deal for the money, and I had NO REACTION to anything, which I consider a huge success. Will be trying out the Midvale location here, shortly, and will post my review on that as well.

Obviously cross-contamination may be an issue if you are sensitive to such. My pizza was baked on a separate pan, and my pasta was cooked in it's own water in the back, not by the other noodles at the pasta station, so I believe the staff are doing their best to make sure no one gets sick.

Thanks to Oliver in Logan. He helped make the experience wonderful for me and my family.
