Review of Rustique Pizzeria

We live near this restaurant and it has been a favorite since they opened. When I was diagnosed with celiac, I spoke with the owner. Their gluten-free crust is wonderful. My husband, who is not Celiac, loves it as well. When I order, I always state I have celiac disease and ask them to please use clean gloves, clean utensils and place the pizza on a tray so that it does not slide across the same grates in the pizza oven as the regular pizza crust. I have had very good luck with that. Most of the staff there is very educated but occasionally there are new staff members so I always make sure to mention all of the above. I also order the antipasto salad with the balsamic vinaigrette often, which is gluten-free, and excellent. They do NOT have a dedicated fryer, so unfortunately the amazing pesto fries are a no for those with celiac. Great atmosphere with many consistent staff who’ve been there for years and a friendly, engaged owner.
