I wanted to share our experience at Sauce on Grant and Wilmot so others can make an informed decision. There is not a separate listing for that location that I can find.
We had been eating there regularly but tonight our pizza looked weird/different. It was carry out so I called and spoke to the manager.
The bottom of the pizza felt gritty like I remember wheat pizza being. The manager confirmed that the black specks all over the bottom of the crust are wheat flour since they don’t have a separate oven. I didn’t realize they weren’t cooking the pizza with any kind of barrier like foil or parchment- my mistake for not asking. This place is not celiac safe.
The staff did an excellent job of addressing my concerns. They will ask you if your gluten-free meal is preference or allergy. Once I said allergy, they made sure I felt comfortable with how my order was handled. I had to beet, arugula and goat cheese salad as well as fig, prosciutto and goat cheese pizza on a gluten free crust. Both were excellent. The staff all give excellent and prompt service and are super friendly. If you are a sensitive celiac though please be aware this is a shared environment but they do their best to ensure safe preparation.
I have a gluten allergy and Sauce is one of the restaurants we go to all the time. They are always careful to ask me if ordering gluten free is due to an allergy. GF pizza is delicious and I’ve never had a reaction because of their food.
Be really careful here. Although they advertise gluten free pizzas and sandwiches, they are in no way safe for any celiacs or those with low thresholds for sensitivity. Everything is shared and they are clear on that- they do not make an attempt to use separate ingredients. This is an example of a restaurant doing gluten free for $$$
The overall menu is good but their pizza is in an area where it can be cross contaminated. I ordered the gf pizza and my stomach started hurting half way through so I am not 100% sure it is completely gf
This place used to be safe for celiacs but in recent years the safety has gone out the window. There is lots of cross contamination and they use all the same equipment for the pizza even if you tell them it’s an allergy. Every time I’ve ordered the pasta/mac&cheese there have been a couple regular (non gluten free) noodles in the mix.
I’ve never had any issues with the salad. If you decide to order one I would recommend one that’s naturally gluten free since they tend to make errors.
I’m saddened by this review because this place used to be my go-to. Unfortunately it has proven to be unsafe and it’s not worth getting sick after every meal.
My go-to safe restaurant! ABSOLUTE BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA EVERRR. They also offer gluten free pastas, Mac and cheese, salads, etc, unsure about panini bread though. The staff are all very welcoming and informed about celiac always asking if it’s an allergy even before you say if it is. Family friendly environment and I love coming here with friends
