Gluten-Free at Monical's Pizza

I’ve had there delish gf pizza many times & never had a reaction!

Is there a gluten-free menu?

Extensive allergy menu on their website. It is not a certified gluten free kitchen, but for those that can tolerate kitchen’s with “potential cross contamination” the pizza is great. My favorite gf crust so far.

The crust should be baked a bit longer for crispness. Sauce and toppings are good.

They have gluten free crust! You can get any of their pizzas made gluten free. This was my husband’s favorite pizza place as a kid, I am glad I can share the experience.

We ordered for pick up. It was really good pizza and my super-sensitive celiac daughter didn’t get sick. The pizza was so good she ate the entire thing (which she very rarely does)! Highly recommend and we will definitely go back.

I also appreciate that they list all allergens on their website. We ordered the nacho cheese sauce for the non-celiacs and it was easy to look up and see if it was safe for her…it wasn’t. But knowing that prevented her from getting sick!

They use Udis par baked crust: I watched them prepare mine. Despite my request for new gloves, they didn’t. My order was to go, so, I didn’t check it til I got home. The crust was under baked and gummy. Toppings barely cooked. I called and talked to the manager. In her words they “hate gluten free pizzas and orders. “ She was kind enuf to credit my card for the nasty pizza.

Food tasted fine and I didn’t get sick, but the crust was sooooo soggy. I don’t know what the reason was for the crust being like that, but I hope it was just a one-time thing!

This is some of the best gluten free pizza I've had. I've only gotten delivery, and it's always awesome! Their staff does their own delivery, which I really like. I've never been disappointed!

I spoke with a manager, who informed me that their gluten-free pizza crusts come in a separate foil pan, and are cooked in that pan so the crust doesn’t come into contact with the oven grates. The main risk seems to be an employee accidentally using the same pizza cutter for both gluten and gluten-free pizzas. However, we order from our local Monical’s on a regular basis and I’ve never had an issue. I’m comfortable with their food handling procedures.

We had the Gluten free Pizza with side salad. The staff was very knowledgable and understanding about our allergy. All toppings for pizza are gluten free and all the dressings for salads are gluten free.

Gluten free pizza crust! Great for those with IBS following Low FodMap diet. They will substitute your sauce to brushed olive oil. They also have no issue checking their ingredients list for seasonings that you can't have.

Very mediocre pizza. Soggy, floppy crust. Toppings were good.

Usually, the gluten free pizza is fine. I haven’t been sick in quite a long time.

They offer a gluten free pizza crust.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've been getting the pizza here for years without problems. I do miss the g/f ravioli that they used to have.

The pizza is very hit and miss. More often than not, my gluten free crust is undercooked and not crisp. On the bright side, I haven’t had any problems with cross-contamination when I’ve gone here.

My husband loves there gf pizza. He has a severe allergy and has had good luck with there pizza

Staff is not knowledgeable about handling their pizzas separately. The pizza is cooked in it’s own pan and tastes good but if you’re there for Celiac it is NOT safe. I got sick and shouldn’t of tried it again because I instantly regretted it.

Celiac friendly?

No

I called this establishment and the girl that answer the phone didn’t understood what was gf

Several choices of GF pizza available. The first night I ate there they we're overwhelmed but the on duty manager delivered my pizza. Very good. Second time we visited the waitress brought it but separately from other pizza. I'm very sensitive to cross contamination but ate safely here twice! No problems! When in the area will return!

I go there often and have never had a problem. I order my crust extra crispy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We’ve had good luck here, just be sure to tell server that precautions need to be taken to avoid cross contamination (e.g., separate pizza cutter, clean gloves)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was worried because staff was covered in flour but my pizza came out on its own tin tray. No reaction and food was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve never had an issue with the food itself, but the service is very hit or miss. However, as far as being Celiac safe, I’ve eaten here countless times and have never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AWESOME GF pizza with a large amount of selections for everyone and great service as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I suggest if you want a great gluten free pizza crust and a good staff go to the Fishers location!!! I believe my server was high and gave me a completely different pizza. Crust is good but having stomach pains so I strongly suggest going to the Fishers location.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their gluten free pizza is so yummy! I would not eat here if you are celiac but if you have a gluten sensitivity or preference you should be fine! They cook the GF pizza on a foil pan but it goes in the same oven as their regular pizza.

this place is amazing you have to stop here no matter where you go.

I have gotten the gluten free pizza here several times and never had a reaction. The first time I got it however, there was a ton of sauce and very little cheese. It wasn’t that great, but since then I order it with extra cheese and it’s turned out much better!

My daughter LOVED the gluten-free Pizza, best one we have found for her!

I've only ever had positive experiences here. The GF crust is probably the best in Peoria.

I've tried it a couple of times. Never had a reaction. GF pizza was Good! Salad was good too - was told the Russian dressing was safe. One of my "go to" restaurants!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are very careful. We've eaten there 3 or 4 times and have never had a problem .
