Gluten-Free at Billy Bricks Wood Fired Pizza

Normally I wait 24 hours to review a place, but I just threw up twice just about four hours after I’d had their “gluten free” pizza. I checked the receipt and dove in. Surprisingly good. Suspiciously good, but I suspected nothing. That was regular pizza. Someone in the kitchen was trying to be funny. Another week on the toilet. Skip it

Pizza is really good, have a separate area for GF prep. Ordered twice. First time everything but the pepperoni was cleared by my gluten detection dog. Second time everything was cleared. I asked for pepperoni in a separate cup and she cleared it but it looked different than the pepperoni on the first pizza. Staff is very knowledgeable and kind, but be cautious.

Not safe at all! GF Pizza is cooked without any precautionary measures. My girlfriend got sick after we went here. Don’t risk it!

This crust! OMG! I had to slap my hands to keep myself from eating the whole pizza because the crust is that good! Also, they didn’t up charge me for subbing goat cheese for mozzarella which usually happens. (I cannot have sheep or cows milk) They do have dairy free cheese but I prefer the real thing personally.

Next up, I’ll test out one of the sub sandwiches to see how that bread is but I have high hopes.

We love Bricks gluten free options! They make their own gluten free dough for the pizzas and wraps. We’ve eaten here dozens of times and my daughter, who has celiac, has never gotten sick after eating here. She especially loves the thick gluten free garlic bread.

They hire kids who can’t read and have no idea what gluten-free means. I ordered a gluten-free salad and it was covered in croutons. No dedicated cooking area, oven, or utensils. Their gluten-free pizzas are very good but not safe and inconsistent on taste

Ordered four gf pizzas for delivery. Placed the order online and made a note about the gluten allergy. The pizzas were delicious and I didn't get sick after eating them. Will definitely order again.

Tried the GF pizza and got very sick. They do not use pans and place the pizza directly on the same surface as traditional pizza.

NOT gluten free! Their “gluten free” pizza is placed on wheat flour. It made my son VERY ill. I called to talk to the manager and he basically just said yep, we’ve heard that before. Should not be labeled GF!

Pizza dough was light and fluffy. Best dough I have had in a long time. The pizza was dark in the edges a you would expect from wood fired, but I am not sure if the use something underneath to keep it from cross contamination. I do did not have any issue.

I can't speak to whether or not this place is celiac friendly, but it is, without a doubt, the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. Highly recommend!

I'm celiac and a bad one, but I never have a problem with their gf pizza, and it's the best GF pizza that you can find

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Im celiac and had no issues from the GF pizza here. Hands down the best GF pizza ever.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Although they do have a gluten free option, after ordering me one, in addition to 2 other pizzas for the rest of the family, my husband went to get drinks and heard the kitchen staff talking. They were clearly annoyed and said loudly “who comes to a pizza restaurant and asks for gluten free?” Also, they say they can’t guarantee cross contact will not occur due to the nature of their ovens. However the other wood fire pizza place nearby makes it work somehow. I would still get pizzas for my family here if they hadn’t been so rude. They will not get my business anymore.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent GF pizza crust and good variety on menu!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Beat gf pizza crust ever...and I’ve tried a lot. I’ve eaten here dozens of times and never had a problem. Delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Bricks does not say they are celiac safe. Theirs is an environment that has flour in it by its nature. However, if yours is a gluten sensitivity in which you can tolerate small amounts of cross contamination, like mine, I highly recommend. In addition to their GF pizza, they can make any of their sandwiches GF by cooking their GF pizza dough in bread shape (similar to a pita). It is delicious and helps me be able to eat their delicious sandwiches, something I thought I’d never be able to do again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not Celiac friendly. Pizzas are placed on same surface as regular flour pizzas. They will not put them on a pan.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not Celiac friendly. Pizzas go directly on the same surface in the oven as regular crust. The rest of the family liked it though.

My daughter has celiac and has never gotten sick from gf pizza except from this place! Avoid it’s not safe!

Celiac friendly?

No

Even after stating our order was for a gluten allergy, and ordering a GF pizza ... my daughter unfortunately still got sick from eating pizza here.

I wish I could give it zero stars It was horrible

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was told the gf pizza crust was dusted with not gf flour to keep it from sticking.

Celiac friendly?

No

Just can't help myself but eat the Gluten free from here multiple times a week! Bricks has a lot of salad options that are gluten free, gluten free dough that tastes almost exactly the same as their regular dough, and gf dessert options! Definitely give it a try.

Great Gluten free Pizza! Probably one of the best. They make their own GF pizza dough so its not that premade cardboard crust. They also have have other GF options, cookies, salads and appetizers. They don't offer GF for severe allergies, however if you let them know your allergic they will take extra precautions. They also have a great outdoor patio

While the kitchen isn't a completely gluten free environment, They have a desdelicious gluten free crust available for pizza, gluten free dessert options such as some cookies and ice cream that are gf.

Celiac friendly?

No

Any pizza on the menu can be made gf for an extra $3. Really good options, and the crust is fantastic. They also knew (and double-checked online) that Peroni beer is gf, because they add an enzyme at the end to remove any remaining gluten. I never knew that, either, and I've been gf after finding out I have gluten allergies more than 5 years ago. Really knowledgeable staff, and great pizza. For reference, their pizzas are about 14". I'm a 6'5" weight lifter, and we had been traveling all day (I was starving). I ate a whole pizza, but I was starting to hurt at the end, just had to finish, because it was so good. I would normally eat half of one of these, maybe with a small salad. Not a single gluten issue, later. Highly recommended, and I wish there was one of these in my home town!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free pizza is very good, and comes out fast! Can't wait to try all of their pizza's.

the pizza was nothing less then awesome. well balanced GF pizza. no gluten outbreak and price was reasonable. great atmosphere .

Delicious gluten free crust and you can choose from a wide variety of toppings. The manager showed us the label from their crust, it is imported from Italy and the server used extra pre-cautions when making my family's pizzas.

Great place great pizza. They have Gluten Free pizza crust option. They're dough is hand made and stretched. You can't even tell the difference between the regular pizza crust and the GF crust.

Celiac friendly?

No

UPDATE in 2016 - They now use Caputo gluten free flour - ingredients are "GF wheat starch, dextrose, cornstarch, buckwheat, rice starch, vegetable fibers, thickener, guar". I can't do corn - bummed I can't eat here anymore.

ORIGINAL 2015 review - I eat mostly Paleo but wanted to find a good "cheat" pizza to eat out with my family. The GF crust is rice and tapioca (NO corn or potato - yeah!). It tasted great. One son and I had the GF pizza and my other son and husband had regular - everyone loved what they had.

Excellent pizza! We were 2 in our party with one GF and one gluten pizza. Both were outstanding. Best GF crust by far. Everyone that worked there were very pleasant and helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good GF crust, made on the premises. The pizza was delicious, the people very friendly.

We were told at the time of ordering today that their GF pizza is not made on a gluten free safe surface and they no longer cook their pizzas on a pan in the brick oven. So, their GF pizzas could very easily be contaminated. Sadly, we will no longer eat there.

Celiac friendly?

No

The crust is dry and tasteless.
