Decent food, but EXTREMELY SLOW SERVICE. While ordering, the employee mentioned 4 or 5 times that he was the only gluten-free chef on duty, so there would be a bit of a delay (more on that later). We first ordered the stuffed shells, and were told they were out. We then ordered the ravioli, only to learn that was out as well. We settled on a deluxe burger, a turkey burger, a cheese pizza, a meatball grinder and a side of fries. It's worth mentioning that there are no seats within WOW itself- you're directed to sit at one of the 5 tables in the next-door (gluten) pizza place. It took a full hour before the food started to arrive. We asked for condiments for the burgers and learned that they were out of ketchup. I was directed to the mustard packets, and the spicy brown mustard packet was long expired (they had no more). At this point we noticed that we didn't have our fries, and when we asked about them we were told that they were out of potatoes (and they refunded us our $4). So as for the food: the condiment-less burgers were fine; the buns were better than the store-bought variety. The grinder was good, but the bread was more like a (very hard) flatbread. My wife ended up just eating the filling. As the other reviews have stated, the pizza was very good- probably the best gluten-free pizza we've had. All in all, the food was fine, but it seems like they haven't worked out the kinks of running a restaurant yet. If we give them another shot, we'll just get pizza (and definitely call ahead).
