The GF menu is pretty small but it’s worth it because it is very safe. We have eaten there dozens of times and never had an issue. My Celiac sons favorite GF pizza. Very thankful for this place.

Went there a few times when in town before being diagnosed with Celiac, but afterwards has become the go to restaurant to go to. Their GF pizza is absolutely delicious! It is the best GF pizza I've had & would rank it as a top tier overall pizza. They regularly mark the pizza with an allergy warning toothpick & bring out separate from other orders at table while wearing gloves.

Only drawback is the options for other GF items is limited.

I am Celiac and they said the only items they can guarantee gluten free is 5 pizza. I wanted a salad and they said it "has gluten free ingredients" Not very celiac friendly and VERY little options.

I would give it five stars but you don't have a lot of options! The California Cobb salad is my favorite it's the only reason I go here

My son has Celiac and has never got sick from their gluten free pizza. I feel they are very careful and well trained to avoid cross contamination.

Excellent GF pizza! I had the mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage and it had so much flavor! The crust was nice and crisp & perfectly golden brown on the bottom.

The manager Mike was fabulous. He explained to me in detail that they prep separately, use a clean pizza cutter, and place an aluminum cover over the pizza in the oven to prevent cross contamination. They have gluten free certified pizzas (triangles on menu). Mike was very patient and totally understood the importance.

The servers, cook, and hostess went above and beyond to try to help me find a safe way to eat here! I was hungry and desperate. They were not very knowledgeable about GF options or celiac disease, but after some back and forth and lots of checking with the cook, they made me a cheese pizza on cauliflower crust. Precautions taken: hand washing, changed gloves, made my pizza on a separate pan so it never touched the prep surfaces. They also put down some parchment paper in the oven underneath my pizza since the oven often gets flour on it from other pizzas. Not the most ideal meal for safety, but I was starving and they were willing to listen and try to help which I appreciated!

Very good salads and very good GF pizza. Thin crust of course, but texture was great. We got the half size salads BTW. The full size are huge.

Solid choice. No gluten issues. My food came out separate and marked. I have eaten at different locations so I was not worried about cross contamination but some people may be concerned
