I liked my pizza and my friends liked their food very much. We enjoyed the patio area on a quiet Sunday evening. Waitress was nice and helpful in telling me which pizzas to avoid (Thai, for example). But nearly all can be done on a gluten free thin crispy crust... For an extra $4! Seems a little high, but it was tasty. I would've never known it was gluten free! I had goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes & pine nuts which was mild but very good. Not bland like some other pizzas. Seems there's only one size of pizza which is enough for two. I'll be enjoying my leftovers tomorrow! They brew their iced tea (no mix) but not the lemonade so I skipped that. I think they can handle celiac needs for the most part. I try to avoid peak times at any restaurant and that usually helps.

GF options are clearly marked on the menu and the pizza isn't bad at all. Their salads are really good and they also offer a GF pasta too. These options are on the kids menu too, which is nice for our daughter.

GF pizza is of the very thin crust variety. Very tasty if you don't mind the crust being a tiny part of the pie.

I hosted my rehearsal dinner for my wedding here with 30 people. We set the menu ahead of time and everything was delicious! The GF pizza crust was thin, but surprisingly flavorful! Everyone's favorite pizza was the BBQ chicken, and the BBQ sauce was also GF. The salads were excellent. Service was attentive, but they did make a small mistake with checks that we managed to sort out. Would definitely go back!

French fries are made in a dedicated frier. They made our son a special meal of chicken breast and rice and were very careful and helpful with cross contamination. Super helpful, very safe, and good food

NOT CELIAC SAFE!! They make and cook the pizza on all shared surfaces so that is immediately out. They didn’t take me seriously when I told them I was celiac and needed them to change gloves/clean workstation/use non-gluten utensils. In fact, the waiter rolled his eyes. But I was there for a work lunch, so I just got one of the gf salads. And I am SO sick. I still have stomach cramps and diarrhea days later. It feels like I just straight up ate gluten. Would not recommend.

They do prevent cross contamination multiple different ways. Crust is pretty thin. We modified the BBQ pizza on the menu a bit. It was super yummy. They have several other options on the menu now that are GG besides the pizza, but we only had the pizza. They made us a gf version of the apple pie pizza. I do not recommend that. It was difficult to eat. All the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Nice, slightly upscale, elegant, but relaxed ambience. I would come again, and do recommend it.
