Review


owner was nice, the food was good, but definitely do not eat here if you have celiac or are very sensitive to gluten. I ordered a gluten-free calzone, and she warned me on cross-contamination, which is the case pretty much everywhere you dine out. That said, I don’t know what is in the dough or how contaminated everything was, but I am feeling quite sick just a couple hours after eating there.

And while I do have celiac, I still get pizza all the time from places that make both regular and gluten-free. This typically does not happen. So it must’ve been very contaminated or else the ingredients are not actually gluten-free as advertised! avoid the gluten-free dough at all costs, unless you are just eating gluten, free as a trend or fad diet. if you actually need to be GF, go elsewhere.

ETA: I got violently-ill last night to the point I almost had to go to hospital. My worst “glutening” in 15 years - it was Scary!!

my non-GF hubby ate the rest of the supposed “gluten-free” calzone today and his consensus was “there was definitely not one iota of that which was gluten-free. either she used the wrong dough, doesnt know what GF is, or they just say it’s GF when it isn’t.”

NOT SAFE FOR CELIAC; DOUBT IT IS EVEN ACTUALLY GF!!!
