There is a difference between the regular gluten free pizzas and certified gluten free pizzas. Be sure to specify when ordering. I got the certified GF cheese pizza. It was delicious and they will deliver within the casino. I had mine delivered to bingo. Very good. Did not get sick.

Waitress was knowledgeable about GF pizzas/options and took the allergy seriously. Both GF kids cheese pizza and the California Cobb salad were very good— no belly aches or sickness afterwards. Double checked on GF salad dressings for me, as well. Appreciated the diligence and we will return!

My server wasn’t too knowledgeable about gluten free things aside from the certified gluten free pizzas. BBQ, margherita, pepperoni and cheese. I had the bbq. It was really good. They have a cauliflower crust too that’s supposedly gluten free. I didn’t try it this time. I didn’t get sick and my pizza was pretty tasty. I couldn’t find an allergen info sheet on their salad dressings and nobody seemed to know but I had the ranch and I was fine.

The gluten free pizzas (they have 5 certified) are prepared in a separate area. The best GF pizza crust I have ever had, isn't chewy or tough like others can be.

RUN RUN RUN I ordered a GF pizza to go. I told the manager how sensitive I was and she assured me they would be very careful. When the pizza came out of the oven I saw the man making regular pizza keep the same gloves on and take his hand and proceed to put it in the oregano container and then sprinkle it all over my GF pizza. When the manager brought the pizza to me I asked her about it and she clearly understood the error and apologized. No pizza for me!!!

Three dedicated gf pizza options which were all good. Could have other toppings if not real sensitive and want to take the chance. The warm peach salad was excellent.

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
