Definitely glutened. My server gave me a spiel about their gluten contamination training, using a separate tray, cutting utensils, etc. They even came back to tell me to order a different pizza as they weren't able to confirm their BBQ sauce was GF. To no avail 😢

Called and spoke to the manager before coming down and he reassured me they take every precaution for Celiacs. Ordered the chicken Cesar salad because that is easy and sure enough the salad came with croutons! On top of waiting over an hour to sit and another hour to get our food. Never again

The staff ensured that they understood the gluten cross contamination, etc but my pizza did come and NIMA tested (very quickly) with gluten found. I don’t think a place with this amount of volume is going to treat Celiac needs seriously. They took it off my bill with no further questions after I explained NIMA test. A lot of places don’t make it that easy to have it taken off the bill so I do appreciate that.

Their gluten free pizza is amazing. Also, they even have a gluten free desert cookie thing! I was too full after the pizza but it sounded promising.

GF pizza and pizookie was good. It took them 3 tries to get the salad right. First one they brought had croutons.

There weren't quite as many gluten free options as I anticipated but it was very tasty! I had the quinoa bowl with salmon. I also can't have dairy so I was very happy when they told me the chocolate chips in the GF pazookie were dairy free!

Best gluten free cheese pizza in town. The staff is very cautious when it comes to cross contamination. The first time I ordered the pizza (via over the phone for take out) the guy taking my order, his wife also has celiac and he knew how important it was for there to be no cross contamination. Tonight when I ordered my pizza (over the phone) I mentioned how great of a job they did last time to avoid cross contamination and the man said "I'm the general manager, don't worry your pizza will be perfect!" And it was! (The label on the box said *allergy* *allergy* *allergy* celiac)

There is a separate GF menu. The staff is knowledgeable and the person who delivered my meal also has celiac. I have a pepper and potato allergy as well as gluten. A person from the kitchen came out to confirm my order. I felt safe and the food was very good.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well both my waitress and the kitchen staff understood the need to avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen with my food! The food was carefully made under the head cooks guidance, they marked it, and brought it out separately to ensure that nothing would happen to it while preparing other foods. My hamburger was delicious and I even enjoyed the gluten free bun they gave me!

Best of all, I never once got sick from it after we left! I'd go back again!

I went to Bj’s Brewhouse and had the Baja bowl with only vegetables. About 30 minutes after eating I got very ill. I’ve eaten there a few other times, but had pizza or salad. I didn’t get sick any of those times.

I wish I could give zero stars. Told the waiter twice I have celiacs, he brought out my food and I took one bite and knew it was gluten. Do not come if you have celiac I got sick eating here.
