Gluten-Free at Old Chicago
Pizza Restaurant
Good cauliflower crust and great pizza overall. Enjoyed my meal and no symptoms later.
I normally cannot stand cauliflower crust, but this pizza is amazing. It’s almost one of my favorite pizzas cauliflower crust or not. Gluten free.
I asked for gf options and the server said they didn’t have any
Not celiac safe. No gluten training. Shared cooking surfaces and utensils for all toppings and spreads. They make dough in house every morning so all surfaces and topping are likely contaminated. Former employee.
My gf pizza was really good- I like my crust crispy and it was perfection! Our server assured me that they seriously take gluten issues and allergens- like I said, the gf veggie I ordered was excellent and I had no issues afterwards….cool pizza place with a great atmosphere….you’ll enjoy it here!
This restaurant is gone.
They are gluten friendly...not gluten free. They have a cauliflower crust pizza but it is cooked on the same pans and in the same ovens as gluten pizzas.
Daughter got terribly sick with the cauliflower crust pizza.
Great GF cauliflower crust pizza options!! Honestly can’t even difference in the taste like you do with some gluten free crusts! My favorite place in Joplin to get a GF pizza.
Servers are so nice about answering gluten free questions as well!
I am not celiac. I am wheat allergic. I went at a slow time, Sunday at 3 PM. I ordered cauliflower crust pizza with carmelized onions and basil. I requsted the cook use new gloves. It was delicious and no sniffles (the start of my reaction). My husband likes thin crust. He also found the crust and topping on his thin crust to be very good.
Love the options. Eat there every time we go to Rock Springs, WY. We eat their pizza and wings. Our kids pick up. The pizza when they Go
They provided a safe and knowledgeable environment for my daughter with Celiacs! WTG old Chicago!!
I ordered the caesar salad to be gluten free and it was not gf when it came out. i mentioned it to the server and they were super apologetic and immediately took it back to be fixed. the owner/manager came out to apologize personally and said he would supervise the making of my salad. the salad was fantastic and it was completely gf when it came out. 10/10
Luv Old Chicago! The GF cauliflower crust pizza is very good!!!!
Skip this place! 1. Not helpful with ingredients and menu is not correct. Items are marked “G” that have gluten! Be extra careful if you choose to go here. 2. Even after requesting a manager and speaking with the kitchen manager the brought out a regular pizza instead of the cauliflower crust GF pizza. 3. As if the gluten wasn’t problematic enough the waitress had a horrible attitude and even insisted the regular pizza crust was a gf crust. It was a flat out lie.
I have been here twice and have never had any issue. They offer a cauliflower crust as their gf option. Great option for pizza out. With most pizza places there is a risk of cross contamination. I spoke with the wait staff and they said they take precautions in the kitchen.
Loved the salad and the cauliflower crust pizza
This place has a gluten free menu and advertises it, however I have gotten severely sick every single time I have eaten here. On two different occasions I’ve had food sent out on regular buns despite ordering gluten free options. I believe their staff either ignores peoples allergen requests, do not take them seriously, or it’s just a hoax to upcharge. I do not recommend for anyone, be that celiac or just intolerant. The way this restaurant treats allergens, they are lucky no one has had anaphylaxis and I think this business should be shut down.
The cauliflower crust is SO good! Didn’t get sick at all and I’m ready to go back again! Just let the server know you need it cooked on it’s own pan.
They have a cauliflower crust for pizza that us the absolute best I've ever had. Amazing pizza for gluten free people. Also have really good ice tea and brews.
Basic cauliflower crust - but good option if you are looking for something late - they close at midnight
I ordered the buffalo baked cauliflower and the Tuscan Chicken pizza on cauliflower crust. My waitress was so understanding and the pizza was soooooo delic. I felt great after eating these items.
Burgers are safe. I order without bun. They have gluten free bands. G free pizza is hit and miss for me, I think there is a shared oven. Cook said dedicated pizza pans. Delicious food, good service. I am very sensitive and this is a go to place for me when I'm in town. They changed their menus recently(2023) and now claim to have items that are "gluten reduced". They used to say"gluten free" in the old menu. The head cook came to my table to confirm my allergies. He said they are very careful with cross contamination.
they have a cauliflower crust pizza! really good!
Good food and GF knowledge.
Fun sports restaurant. Our server was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free. We had the blacken chicken Caesar salad and bone in chicken wings. They are very generous with the dressing on the salad. Next time I would ask for dressing on the side.
I ate here with my wife who has celiac and she did not get sick. Thank goodness because there are not a lot of places we can go out to eat in Joplin.
Knowledgeable staff. GF pizza very yummy!
Their GF pizzas are SO good, and I eat them here often. My celiac is severe and I've never gotten sick. I've only had pizza so can't vouch for the rest, but this is definitely a top go-to pizza place for me! Edit: Just remembered, I've also had their salads with no issues.
GF pizza is the only GF option, but it was so good! It’s a cauliflower crust that is thin and crispy.
The waiter was very knowledgeable about which items were gluten free. They have many pizza options available on a GF cauliflower crust. They also have GF buns for their burgers. I had the Italian Grinder Pizza and it was very good.
I went in and told them I was a celiac... although they were very friendly they didn't know anything about gluten or celiac disease . They did their best to make me a meal, however I still got sick eating here. I wouldn't recommend this place unless they set standards to lessen contamination.
I’ve been gluten free for 9 years. This pizza was one of the poorest quality I’ve had in those 9 years. There was barely any sauce and the crust tasted like a saltine cracker. My fiancé wasn’t a fan of his normal pizza either. I didn’t get sick, so the pizza seems to be a safe gluten free option but I would not recommend coming here if you have an alternative. Very gross and poor quality ingredients.
Items on the menu are marked if they can be made gluten free, and there’s also a gluten-sensitive menu on their website. There are gluten free buns, pizza crusts, beer (Stone IPA, ciders, and their wings can be baked! I had the buffalo and applewood BBQ wings and they were great! They were unsure of the wing rubs because the rub came already prepared from another facility.
Was sick within hours.
Awesome pepperoni pizza with their cauliflower crust. No reactions. They have lots of options.
Old Chicago can’t confirm they are gluten free, due to possible contamination, but items are marked gluten free sensitive! I have celiac and been there a couple times and have never been sick. They have cauliflower pizza, gluten free buns, and ciders offered. Great place to go ☺
Cauliflower crust that is gluten free. It's not designated gluten free. The crust is delicious, and the pizza is great. Definitely coming back! I asked for light cheese, but it was still pretty loaded... hopefully next time they will do less.
Gluten free salads available, but it was almost all lettuce, three tiny straps of chicken and a sprinkle of parmesan. Not worth it.
This place is amazing! I've eaten there twice now with no problems. The first time, the kitchen manager came to speak with me to make sure I was aware of the possibility of cross contamination, then he made my order himself. Later, he came by to see how it tasted and gave me his business card so I could contact him if I had any trouble. The next time, unfortunately he wasn't the. My pizza wasn't quite as good that time, but it was still one of the best gluten free pizzas i've had. Definitely worth a visit. I just wish they had a GF beer to wash it down with.
No stars really. Every time we stop at this location we're always told there is no gluten free
Great gluten free pizza, burgers, & sandwiches!
Came here wanting pizza and wings and was not disappointed! The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free options and even made sure to mark grilled on my wings even on the traditional wings because they still normally batter and fry them if you don’t ask for them grilled. Enjoyed my meal feeling confident I wouldn’t get sick and I have not had any issues!
Their menu was labeled with which foods could be made gluten free. They had 2 gluten free appetizer options which not a lot of places have. I ordered the California Chicken Sandwich and when they came out with my food they told that they realized after we order they were out of gluten free bread so they ran out to the store and got some for me. They accidentally got gluten free bagels but it was still pretty dang good!! I was very impressed.
Not celiac friendly - They claim to be gluten sensitive however. I called ahead and spoke with the manager, she said that they have a gluten sensitive pizza crust that they put on a special plate. She said I could have any of the veggies I wanted or a salad with an uncut, unseasoned chicken breast. I told her that I was coming in with several of my friends that evening. Since my options for eating were so limited, I asked if I could please bring in my own meal. She stated that this was not an option. I ended up eating at home and just ordered a cider while my buddies ate their food. Their menu has a symbol on it that denotes “Upon request, can be made gluten-reduced.” (I have included a photo of this.) I got the impression that it was an eat at your own risk sort of place. They do have a few cider options.
Nice enough, no separate GF menu and is Gluten Sensitive not GF. Good knowledge of Celiacs but I would say not Celiac safe...shared kitchen space. Of course depends on how sensitive you are. We have not had a reaction. Worth a shot!
Pizza is amazing! Best pizza I have had. Alot of toppings and crust was very good. They also have GF buns. I've added a picture of the pizza. The picture was the day after, and it got a little out of shape in my fridge. It look perfect when I got it!!!
The staff was very helpful and they don’t Fry any items with gluten. Regular fries and sweet porato fries are gluten free. Gluten free pizza also.
