Review of Portland Pie Company

Wicked GF’s greater Portland dining guide said Portland Pie Co had a dedicated prep & oven space for GF allergy orders, but their Scarborough location does not. I was apprehensive, but the promise of my first calzone since diagnosis won out. They do use a dedicated foil for GF orders which is kept in a sealed bag and they added aluminum foil “walls” up around the edges of my calzone for further protection. It does go in the same oven with allll the gluten items. For me, it was worth the risk and absolutely delicious. I still felt well afterwards, so no cross contamination. It was a slow weekday and I think the lower demand increased my chances of a safe meal. If it had been packed, I’m not sure they would have had or taken the time to be so careful with my order. Our server was also very considerate and great at following up.
