The food is decent, but I had to stop going because they have an issue with staff not following protocol. I saw one of the kitchen staff pull down his mask, wipe his nose using his bare hand and pull his mask up. He did not wash his hands after, went back to working on handling food.

Even not during a pandemic this violates food safety procedures. Not to mention it's extremely gross.

At this time only takeout is available. Got a small thin crust pizza with sausage, green onions and tomato to take back to the hotel. It was thin crust and not soggy, and tasted good. I had no reaction and I do react seriously even though I tested as not celiac.

DO NOT GO HERE! Absolutely terrible customer service. I was told 25-35 minutes for pick up. It took over an hour and fifteen minutes. The pizza is just like Udi’s crust. I think people who have raved about the crust has never had gluten free crust from NYC. This is just like frozen pizza besides the fresh toppings. I think it was also not worth the price.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing and safe gluten free pizza.

Great thin crust gf pizza. Had both vegi and ham/pineapple. Also nnice salad bar bit be careful what you take.

The small pizza can be ordered with a gluten-free crust.

I have ordered pizza here multiple times and I have also ordered their cheesy gluten free breadsticks. They have always done a great job and informed me that they will be using dedicated pizza cutters, will put on new gloves etc. I have not had an issue eating here even though I am pretty sensitive to cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered a gluten free pizza. Told the cooks to please be careful.It was terrible, thin and awful. Usually I can tolerate Mountain Mikes. Not today.I took a bite and the edges had my husbands onion white sauce. They did not use a separate slicer. I had begged them to be careful.When he complained on my behalf they offered us a complimentary pizza on our next visit. Personally, I have no desire to be poisoned twice. I'll go visit the other one where the staff pinky promise to be careful and I don't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

I did not enjoy this place. Unless you have five screaming kids to add to the crowd, i would pass. They wouldn't put parmesan on my pizza, they said that's not an option. There are no green options like spinach. The tables were piled with trash. It didn't feel clean. couldn't get out of here fast enough. I ate a few slices and waited in the car.

Such a treat to come to a pizza place with 100% positive reviews that it’s celiac safe! Mizael took the time to tell me he went through a EIGHT HOURS of training because someone in the owner’s family has celiac disease. But friends - it’s not a dedicated GF Resturant- so be sure your table is cleaned off when you sit down - I just grabbed some paper towels from the bathroom and removed the gluten crumbs from my table :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The only place I trust for safe gluten free pizza in San Diego! The pizza is delicious, customer service is fantastic and I appreciate their dedication to providing 100% gluten free pizza!

I’m surprised reviews marking this place as safe for celiac‘s. To be fair, Mountain Mike’s has a disclaimer on all of their gluten-free products that states the following: “Please be aware that our gluten-free crust is prepared in a non-gluten free environment. During normal kitchen operations involving shared cooking and preparation areas there is a possibility that our gluten-free crust will come in contact with wheat flour and/or other non-gluten free items. We cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely gluten-free. Customers with gluten sensitivities should therefore exercise judgement in consuming such items.“ I know it’s a common misconception that only celiacs can be highly sensitive but that isn’t true. people who are gluten intolerant and allergic to gluten also have a wide range of intolerances. If I were to ever eat at a place where gluten-free pizza came into contact with wheat flour I would be sick for many many days.

The pizzas have been great! (haven’t tried anything else)

I just got diagnosed with Celiac disease and I thought I couldn't go to a restaurant again. But then I went here and felt safe. I've been here twice, pizza's great and I love it. Thanks mountain Mike's for making me feel safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I found this restaurant very expensive for gf and only average for me.

Staff is very understanding with all of my reminders and questions every time we order pizza for my celiac son. They know to use new cheese and sauce and to keep it away from other pizzas. They use rice flour in the kitchen so no wheat flour flying around. Lol We’ve eaten in restaurant and have had delivery and my son has never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yummy! This place was amazing - the staff was knowledgable , the explanation of how they prepare the food was detailed and the care they took to make sure they got it right was impressive. The pizza was SO GOOD! They made us feel welcome from beginning to end and no one got sick. We will be going back for sure. Plus they have 3 different options for gluten free (not reduced/removed) beer. Thank you!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The only gluten free pizza that is safe for me to eat! They have an entirely separate kitchen space for gf prep, separate ingredients, and are well versed in preventing cross contamination. I’ve celiac and am super sensitive but regularly eat here/order delivery safely. The pizzas and gf sandwiches are delicious! They also have vegan cheese for those of us who also don’t do dairy. They have a great neighborhood pizza vibe, gluten free greens beers, and gluten reduced beers available too. Complete with a toy/book/play area for the kids makes it one of our favorite spots.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly and great place for the entire family. Special shout out to our server Danny (Annie?) she took really good care of us and went to great lengths to minimize any cross contamination and to make sure our order was right. Her bright and friendly personality and great service was refreshing. We will be back great GF Pizza 🍕 and a cold GF Beer 🍺 Awesome 👏

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best GF pizza since being diagnosed with celiac! Staff was knowledgeable & passionate about catering to the gf needs of celiacs. They willingly walked us through the kitchen prep process of their GF options & we’re able to answer all of my questions before I even had to ask. Well done!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are one of the few places in town that offer gluten-free pizza. It only comes in a small but it is super delicious.

Hands down, the best tasting gluten free pizza in town! This is my go to when I want to eat pizza. I’ve ordered from the Stockdale and Stine locations. It’s pricy, but worth every penny. The delivery option is a plus. I have celiac and have never had any reactions after eating the pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Such amazing pizza!!! I was hesitant to go here for a while but it’s was amazing!

Gotten sick here both times I tried eating here. Ended up talking to an employee who confirmed that they don’t use many gluten-contamination precautions at all. Not worth the risk.

Celiac friendly?

No

The best GF pizza in town + they’re very good about taking precautions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten-free pizza here is pretty good. Most of the same toppings on regular pizzas are also on the GF. My wife has celiac and had no negative reaction.

Mizael and his staff were very knowledgeable and accommodating! Our daughter has Celiac and we appreciate a restaurant that truly gets the gluten cross contamination issues. We were traveling here from the Midwest and were extremely pleased with the great tasting food and their attention to food preparation. I tried the gluten free pizza crust and loved it!!!!! I highly recommend this place to anyone who has gluten concerns. Be sure, as always, to let your server know about your allergies. They truly get it.

Awesome selection of gf foods. Staff was great and very helpful. Would come back!

We called ahead and the staff assured us they do their best to avoid cross contamination. When we got there we talked to Mizael and he said staff is trained 8 hours on how to handle gluten free food! Pizza was great! Definitely recommend if you are celiac!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was great in answering my questions about getting a gluten free pizza. My son loved it. He said the pizza was better than the regular one.

the staff was not knowledgeable and wasn’t accommodating at all they did not care at all:/

Celiac friendly?

No

Great gluten free pizza! But other places I've had bad tasting ones. Definitely a do again.

The staff was very knowledgeable about both being celiac friendly and dairy free. They have a separate preparation area and even a different area in their refrigerator for their gf items. They bring out a cutting board and fresh knife to cut allergy pizzas. I was super impressed, and it was really good pizza. My daughter devoured 2/3 of a personal sized pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love mountain Mike's elsewhere, but this one is lacking. our crust was soggy, and the guy who brought it to the table was covered head to toe in flour. not just a little, but days and days worth of flour. I'm not too sensitive, but my wife had a reaction. we should have trusted our gut, and left. instead we trusted the training touted at other mountains, and I doubt that was instilled here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great Pizza and excellent service. Wife and Daughter are celiac and they loved this place! We’ll be back!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place. The garlic white sauce is so good! we had 3 different pizzas and they were all great. the staff was friendly & explained their 8 hour training in cross contamination.
