Cannot say enough good things about this pizza. HOWEVER please take into consideration I have a gluten sensitivity and am not celiac so I am not speaking to safety as much as taste.
This pizza tastes SOO good… if you miss a good thick chewy crust Neapolitan style… this will get you there. Its an amazing pizza even if it wasn’t gluten free. My husband does not have a problem with gluten but we did the burrata with gluten free flatbread (same dough as the pizza I think), the meatballs, and pizza all gluten free and he loved everything as much as I did. I have been here before going gluten free and they have really nailed the gluten free pizza conversion. We moved and live in another state now but when we come visit family we come here so I can get my pizza fix. The fact that this place is not more hyped for a tasty gluten free dinner is a crime.
I also heard the waiter saying they have a lot of vegan customers for their authentic tasting pizza if you need a dairy alternative as well.
I wish I could eat here more, but the cross contamination is just too high… They have an open kitchen and I literally watched the guy toss wheat pizza and then toss their rice pizza dough, which is the gluten-free one.
Even though the waiters are knowledgeable, there’s not much they can do in a pizza place I guess.
Incredible pizza, GF or regular. GF pizzas use handmade dough prepared with GF flour imported from Italy. They call it “nearly gluten free” because it’s made in a kitchen where regular flour is used. That said, my quite sensitive celiac daughter eats here frequently, and has not had a problem.
Flourless chocolate cake with ice cream. Extensive wine and cocktails list.

Best GF pizza ever. Wood fired. Chewy, crispy, delicious. Vegan GF options GF meatballs GF cake. Outstanding experience .
Great gluten free crust, chewy and pull apart like a classic napoleonic style pizza. However, the pizzas originally start around $19 and adding gluten free crust to any pizza is an additional $6. Was it worth it? Idk. And like another commenter mentioned, there is cross contamination.
3.5 stars.
Taste was great
Price was too high
I ordered the gf pizza and it was delicious! They also offer mock tails. Also had mussels.
Great GF crust but cross contamination is a given. I got very sick.
Greatest GF pizza. They accommodate allergies. The sauce doesn’t have garlic or onion.
Pizza is excellent!!! But it's NOT SAFE for true celiac folks. GF pizzas are prepared on the same floured surface as regular pizzas. If you are GF for vanity, you'll be fine. But if it's truly medically necessary, you WILL have a reaction.
Omg. The gluten free crusts and gluten free bread brought me close to tears. Certainly prepared in a flour-filled kitchen (which they make clear) but is phenomenal crust in general let alone for gluten free. The homemade mozzarella is incredible.
Amazing Pizza. Great taste and did not hurt my stomach. Highly recommend.
Yes, it's prepared in same kitchen as gluten pizzas. However this should not be a shock as most restaurants do not have 100% dedicated restaurant facilities. I am pretty sensitive to cross contamination and trace amounts of gluten and did not have a problem at all. The crust was the among the best I've had, and was chewy, thick, and even had air pockets. How many GF crusts do that? Plus, they have several vegan topping combos. See my blog for more: http://www.eatingoutwithout.com/2015/03/verde-pizza-review.html
Verde has good gluten free crust and they do take some precautions to ensure its gluten free. They wash their hands beforehand, prepare it in a separate gf area, and keep it on a separate tray as they add toppings (the kitchen is open so you can watch them make it). However, it appeared they just set the pizza in the oven in the same place as gluten pizzas. I've eaten here three times and got sick once. They have a good mozzarella ball appetizer you can enjoy gluten free. It's a cute restaurant and I'd recommend at least stopping by the bar for a glass of wine.
Excellent handmade, wood fired pizza. House made GF crust that is delicious and well done. Food is prepared at separate station but cross contamination is warned on the menu due to single oven and single ingredients station. Day later addition: Food is heavily contaminated with Gluten. Although the crust is GF the preparation is completely contaminated. Not recommended if you have an allergy to Gluten.
Delicious gluten free crust! However, the pizza is not prepared in a separate kitchen nor is it cooked in a separate oven. I have a moderate-severe sensitivity (but not celiac) and it didn't bother me.
