Friendly staff, but no real understanding of cross-contamination. Prep area is not cleaned before working with GF pizza. Trays holding the pizza have holes, so crumbs definitely fall onto the shared surface.

I would not have them on GF. I asked 3 times for glove change, no fresh ingredients available, no separation of crusts in the cooker.

Went in person to “vett” this place. Staff was very knowledgeable about gf crust abs procedures. Be sure to let them know you need toppings from refill bins. They use the same ladel to spread sauce on EVERY pizza so be sure to ask for the sauce from the refill bin and a clean ladel. In the oven, pizza can come into contact with gluten. The oven burns at over 700 degrees though and gluten burns up at 550, so I felt cautious but okay with it. I ate half the pizza and didn’t feel “glutened.” I’m a pretty sensitive Celiac so that’s a good thing! This restaurant claims “gluten friendly” but their precautions are really good. I don’t know that I would order on a delivery service like GrubHub because communication gets lost. I recommend either going in or calling to order.

They have a great option for pizza if you're in need of gluten free and dairy free. A cauliflower crust and dairy free cheese with whatever meats and veggies you like to eat. It was delicious!

Pizza is okay if you can handle a little gluten but they use the same peel for all pizzas. There will always be wheat flour on the bottom of your GF crust.

Can't take the celiac here.

They have gluten free crust which is good if you are only sensitive to gluten, if your celiac such as myself stay far away from this place, you are 100% guaranteed to have cross contamination!!!! They use shared prep station, and oven not safe at all !!!!

I love this Mod. Many gluten free topping and gluten free crust or cauliflower crust. It’s not the best for those sensitive to cross contamination though. I ask for them to do a clean cut so they use a clean pizza cutter when cutting my pizza, instead of using one already used on other non-gf pizzas.

I would not recommend if you have an allergy or are celiac. I went in there and said I was celiac and they said they wouldn’t safely be able to accommodate. They use the same oven and same paddle and do not separate out gluten free from non gluten free in the oven. Nor did they have a separate pan to put it in for safety as another person had done in the past in their reviews. Maybe they used to, but they don’t anymore.
