Gluten Free at Extreme Pizza

I came here and I am usually worried whenever ordering gluten free pizza from a place that is not dedicated. But other than a little gassy from eating pizza, I didn’t get sick at all. I felt absolutely fine afterwards. And yes, I gladly ate a whole medium pizza to myself. The gluten-free crust wasn’t the best, but you definitely get what you get when wanting to eat gluten free. Am I right? The toppings are we definitely made the pizza.

We at here on a BUSY Spring Break night. Our bartender/server was very professional and knowledgeable. We sat at the end of the bar by the kitchen and I got nervous when I saw the small kitchen space. However- my pizza did not come out of the same over the other pizzas did (we could see the whole area from the bar) An employee brought my pizza out and used a separate tong from a clean drawer to move it to a tin plate. The other pizzas were slid right onto plates on the counter with a pizza slide. My pizza was cut on a different counter and brought to me by the bartender who did not take the plate at all. She used a pair of tongs. Both my son and I have celiac and did not have a reaction. My son had Canadian bacon on the Gf Crust. He tried ordering sausage and was immediately told that topping is not GF. I had the Mont Blanc pizza. It was a thick GF crust with tons of topping. So filling I could only eat 2 slices. Luckily we had a refrigerator and microwave in our hotel suite. Definitely recommend. I have to say- the bartender, Abby, was more than competent and knowledgeable. I am not sure if our experience would have been the same with other staff.

While others have said this restaurant is Celiac safe, be very cautious with that recommendation. While I do believe staff try to avoid cross contamination, their kitchen and oven are entirely too small to really protect against it when they are busy. My husband was ill after eating here. It was mild enough that it was definitely cross contamination and not gluten in any of the actual ingredients. They are far too busy at dinnertime with food flying everywhere and finished items hitting the same counter space that isn't wiped down, so cross contamination is extremely likely. We won't be going back because we just can't risk it, which makes us sad because the food is good. If you do go, we highly recommend going at a slow time of day to ensure they can take every necessary precaution to protect your food.

Tonight I walked in the restaurant after seeing such awesome reviews and spoke with the manager who kindly explained how they take all the right precautions to prevent CC. Feeling comfortable, I ordered the Pandora’s Box and then told the waitress I had Celiac. When the pizza was brought out, I tested it with my Nima which came back gluten found. Of course, there is always a risk when ordering out, ESPECIALLY with pizza due to the ovens, airborne flour, etc.. but it was the attitude of the company that left a bad taste in my mouth. The manager came back out and I could tell she was already annoyed. She basically said that the kitchen took all the precautions and started speaking over me when I politely tried to give input as to maybe what could be causing this (I mentioned spice blends in tomato sauce, cheese bin that’s shared between gluten and GF pizzas, etc), she continued to cut me off, ignore my questions and insisted that they had done everything 100% right and that ‘everyone else that had come in with Celiac was very happy with their meal’.. I said that I really did appreciate their efforts but even with precautions taken, sometimes these things unfortunately happen. We all know that even the best of restaurants can have off nights... She then cut me off again to ask if I wanted to eat the pizza and when I said no, she took the pizza and walked away. We were stunned. All we hoped for was an apology, but we never even offered an one. Off night or not, there is no excuse to be blatantly rude to a customer. Especially about something so serious. Be cautious when eating here!

Not enough precautions taken to be truly gluten free pizza even though crust is GF. Separate pan is used but not enough. Employees are not knowledgeable about cross contamination or what celiac disease is.

There are signs in the restaurant saying they offer gluten free/vegan foods. Menu shows gluten free pizza crust and that was it. The waitress did say they use a separate area. The pizza was gf and I even had vegan daiya cheese with pepperoni! It was absolutely delicious!! I recommend 100% just reassure they know you have the allergy.

Today I ordered a gluten free pizza from Extreme pizza. I was diagnosed with celiac disease 20 years ago and frequently use the NIMA to determine if the food is 100% gluten free. When I got the pizza home I used the NIMA to see if the pizza was free of gluten and it was! And, the pizza was delicious. Thank you Extreme Pizza! Rose

They waiter seemed very knowledgeable and asked the staff to change gloves. My receipt came out with a celiac warning on it. I got a GF DF pizza that was very delicious. On a generic pizza bottom But very tasty.

No protection from cross contamination once the gluten free crust is out of the wrapper. Person I talked to mentioned they no longer use egg, so that it can be "gluten free."

Celiac friendly?

No

I have ordered the GF pizza from this establishment for years and never had a problem. I feel totally safe with their GF pizza. I can’t speak for the other dishes because I haven’t bothered with them. When you are going out for pizza, you order pizza.

The pizza has alway been high quality.

Top 3 best GF pizza I have had. I did not have any issues with my pie but I did mention to the staff that it is not a preference and to take extra precaution. They cannot guarantee there will be no cross contamination thus the 4 stars. But overall fantastic GF pizza.

Pizza was delicious. The gluten free crust was one of the best we’ve had.

They have unusual pizza flavors and the pizza is awesome. The gluten-free crust is only in an 8 inch but it’s a nice size pizza. It’s a large meal or a small meal and breakfast. We have eaten here twice and I have not gotten sick at all. The staff here does a great job with making sure that the gluten-free is safe. I only wish we lived closer so I could have pizza more often. You really should try this place, you won’t regret it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a bbq chicken pizza on the gf crust and they had separate toppings to put on it. Tasted great, a good size for me if not just a touch big, and I didn't get sick. Have gone there twice and will go back.

We ate here twice on our vacation. The first visit the server was very confident in their gf pizza and on the second visit a different server implied that they were not celiac safe. However, I felt fine after both visits.

They were so helpful and reassuring on the phone. They also had a separate gluten free pizza menu FULL of awesome options. Not just your standard frozen cheese or pepperoni a lot of places offer as their gf options. This was probably the best gf pizza I have ever had

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are mostly GF friendly, but some staff are unsure of which toppings are gluten-free. Also, insanely expensive for what you get. BJ’s brewhouse across El Camino is a much better deal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cross contamination!!! They offer gluten free dough and a wude selection but everything goes in the same oven and they our unsure if the meats, dairy, or sauces contain gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

All their delicious pizzas can be made Gluten AND Dairy-Free. My company also enjoyed their wheat pizza. The staff is knowledgeable about GF and also has a dedicated space for preparing pizza so you don’t have to worry about getting sick (I didn’t!).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had great food and service when visiting here! Our waitress was not from the US and was brand new so we had a slight language barrier while trying to discuss gf options. She got her manager to help us and he was very kind and reassured us we could have a safe gf experience. He took our order and we got our food quickly. We all enjoyed our pizza, thought it had good flavor, and our celiac did not get sick. I will admit, it was not a busy time at the restaurant when we went so that could have helped give us a safer experience. Whether that contributed or not, we still walked away happy after a great, gluten free pizza :-)

Food was great. I'm a celiac and didn't get sick after eating here.

They have a gluten free menu but I just didn’t feel super safe eating there. It wasn’t dirty but it didn’t feel super clean. My gut just told me I’d regret eating there with how busy it was . I opted for a margarita dinner.

Really good pizza and salad! The staff went back and verified that the ranch was gluten free. Cut it with a clean knife for us and baked on its own pan in a shared oven.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Come here every year when we come down for vacation. Great service, and the pizzas are super tasty!

I ate here in June and really liked the pizza. I spoke for some time with the owner as it was mid-afternoon and not busy, and she was very knowledgeable about Celiacs and explained their procedures to keep the pizza as safe as possible. (It is not guaranteed GF because of the other pizzas, but I was comfortable enough to try it given their strong understanding and protocols.) (I am very reactive.) Pepperoni goes under the cheese for a unique twist, and I very much liked it and will return.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great pizza, quite tasty. Family enjoyed it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Front house staff was not very knowledgeable, chef uses some precautions for CC. But pizza was so disappointing, the tomato sauce was super sweet on one pizza and the other, like sauce from a spaghettio can. The crust was soggy and we paid $60 for medium pizzas and one soda.

This place is not celiac friendly. They say they are explain how they clean everything and nothing touches but my daughter was sick instantly from eating here. It is definitely not celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

No

I just got severely glutened eating their pizza. I had a bad feeling as I sat at the bar and could see kitchen operations. It was further concerning when they brought me a to go box and it was covered in flour dust... 30 minutes later, as usual when I’m glutened, I’m miserable...

Celiac friendly?

No

Awesome GF pizza. Nice thicker crust!

The pizza was great and they took my gluten free request really seriously. It was even on its own piece of tin foil in the box which was a good sign. No issues at all afterwards.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here all the time and feel it is generally safe for ceilings. Out of a hundred or so pizzas, I did get cross contamination once. Gluten free crust is one of the best that I have had and most of their salads are gluten free. It is also nice to see that they have two sizes of gluten free crust instead of just one.

Wonderful experience - we went about 4pm before it got too busy. We did have to specify when discussing with the manager and server to use fresh containers for toppings but they were very accommodating and helpful. The manager said she would make it herself to ensure it was safe. She then confirmed she put my daughters gf pizza together with fresh toppings on special pan for gf before they started the rest of pizzas to reduce risk from flour they use to make the regular pizza dough. My daughter said it was one of the best pizzas she's had and she's been eating the leftovers for the past few days.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Both the regular and GF pizzas were yummy. The GF pizza/toppings were prepared in a separate area. They also offer a non-dairy “cheese” topping. I mentioned that my daughter has celiac so they used a special tray in the oven. She loved the GF pizza and we loved the regular pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic gluten friendly base on their pizzas- best I’ve ever eaten! Masses of veggie and vegan options too. Highly recommended!

Their GF crust is also vegan (dairy and egg free). The crust comes in 8” or 12” only. Very creative speciality pizzas. GF prepared in separate area, but is cooked in a shared oven. It was good, crust had a nice crisp to it, but it was $17 for a 12” plain cheese. Also parking at Clearwater Beach is very difficult. We lucked out with a free street spot not too far away, but one of the lots we tried before that wanted $25 just to park.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pizza was very good. Talked with manager, they do everything to prevent cross contamination. I highly recommend.

Really good pizza! I watched the pizza come out of the oven on a tray, picked up with a separate metal pizza paddle stored up on a higher shelf, and they used a separate red handled pizza cutter. I was there when it was pretty busy and I still would be 99.5% confident it’s celiac safe (I don’t give 100% to anywhere that has gluten in the same room). I wasn’t thrilled my plate sat next to other glutenous people’s on finished station. Wish they put it up on a shelf while waiting for the rest of the order or brought it right out. Still I usually don’t get to watch this closely and I was still very confident I wouldn’t get sick. Got the screaming tomato with sauce and glaze it was really tasty. A little soggy but that happens with tomato and fresh mozzarella. Not an udi’s crust. A little thicker than that but still a thin crust. I’d go back! Easy, safe, and tasty!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff are consistently knowledgeable about providing gluten free food. They have spoken up on multiple occasions to inform me when ingredients in an order were unsafe, and have suggested safe substitutions. Much appreciated!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff were very knowledgeable and the kitchen had a separate prep space for gluten free items. Yummy pizza!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was awesome! Super fun! Great happy hour drinks! Loved the mini margarita!!! Yummy pizza. Sauce and cheese were great! Decent great crust. Would definitely go back.

Pizza was good. Beware as they advertise Vegan options - the “vegan” cheese is made with milk. Thankful our server was knowledgeable and made us aware. There are other pizzas that don’t include the cheese though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the best GF pies I’ve had.

The gluten free pizza crust was gross!

All pizza can be made GF. Very yummy. Separate GF prep area, but cooked in the same oven on a separate tray. We had no issues and it was yummy! Waitress was knowledgeable and helped us choose GF toppings. (No sausage)

Loved my gluten-free pepperoni pizza! Very good flavor!

I went here because of other reviews expecting to have a safe good gluten free meal, when i asked them if they would change their gloves and put something down so there was no cross contamination they looked so confused but said they would make sure no cross contamination would happen , i still ended up eating it and was sick within 30 minutes, i’ve been sick for 3 days now from eating it, great pizza if cross contamination won’t bother you but if you’re sensitive i do not recommend

Celiac friendly?

No

While vacationing from Boston on Clearwater beach we were in search of a pizza place with gluten free options due to severe food allergies. We ended up finding this gem of a place right across from the Hilton on the beach. The owner Jeanette and our waitress Ariana were lovely and gave us top notch service going above and beyond to make sure i was comfortable and my food was safe for me to eat and not cross contaminated. The price was right everything was delicious and super fresh! Their many had a lot of options and we loved it so much we went two days in a row! We will definitely be back on our next trip!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Though there was a wait to get in, I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH GREAT TASTING CRUST!! As all gf people know the crust of pizza is usually burned or too hard to eat! This was fluffy and light! I could eat 10!!! But i came back the next day and they didn't have any nore gluten free crusts so.... but the crust is dairy, gf, egg free, and vegan. We were very surprised

Celiac friendly?

Yes
