Fantastic pizza chain, the restaurant took care of me so well and they have the best knowledge on not only just coeliac but all allergies & dietary needs. The kitchen at the back has all GF items separated & their menu specifically mentions avoidance on all cross contamination.

It may be a little overpriced but for a coeliac to be able to eat out and enjoy a meal, this is a great place.

Gluten free pizza seemed like a cauliflower crust. It was ok for what it was, but not that great, and not much food. I got vegan cheese as well which was a bit of a disappointment. The rest of the toppings were great.

All in all, I think you can do better for the price. About $22 for a 10" pie. Felt like a place that offers gluten free just to accommodate all customers. Not a place that appreciates them and wants to serve them the best available.

Waitress was careful with separating items. Online menu lists every ingredient allergens, which is why we ate here. Gf and df as well as soy and almond and fish. Glad my kid could eat it, but it was Daiya size and quality ($6) for $21 with barely any toppings. Pitiful. The non-allergy family members liked theirs, but its insanely overpriced.

They make their own pizza crust. Pizza was really good and finally, NOT served in a tin foil. They make their gf crust on a big plastic tray and place it in a pan to cook. The food was good. I got the he Greek salad (gf), husband and daughter got (gf) pizzas. Staff was knowledgeable, and accommodating- but it’s pizza... any place they are throwing dough there can be contamination. We didn’t get sick, but I always count that as lucky in a pizza place

We enjoyed the pizza toppings, but were floored at the prices $24 for a 12- inch gluten free pizza. They did have Daiya cheese substitute to offer for my dairy allergy. Although it tasted good, it took a LONG time to receive our food...AND I was super bloated even before leaving the table. My husband was woozy all day followed by diarrhea in the morning. All in all not worth the risk or price.

This pizza was way overpriced. $21 dollars is way too much for a medium size. The dough tasted a little bit funny to me, like what happens when I bake with too much xanthan gum. I won't be going back for a second time.

Their pizza is certified GF and they use a separate oven. The pizza is always delicious and I eat here every month. I always have the mushroom pizza.

The waitress said they prepare the pizza separately but it's cooked in the same oven. She then proceeds to bring out my gf pizza sitting between my family's regular pizza. Not only that, it took nearly 1 hour (54 minutes to be exact) to get this food out on a Tuesday afternoon. There was maybe 6 tables total in the restaurant.

I didn't eat. Can't trust a pizza she piled regular pizza on top of

Excellent! No issues with mighty meaty pizza. I order through UberEats, but call store to verify. Always good! I also get no cheese (dairy free. Gluten free).
