For gluten free, this wasn’t my favorite crust. While I am new to Chicago deep dish, this pizza was super rock hard. It was almost impossible to cut through the crust and just felt too overdone. While the flavors were good and the atmosphere is fun, it’s not the best gluten free. I didn’t get sick thankfully, but I didn’t enjoy the taste either.

The taste of the gluten free deep wish was ok, but I immediately got sick within the hour. They use the same tong to grab onto the pans while slicing for you and I doubt they clean it between each table. I think that’s what made me sick since I only had 1 slice from that corner. The person who took our pizzas after to be wrapped up to go also didn’t know what gluten was, so I just threw the entire thing away. Definitely stay away if you’re sensitive.

Literally so good. My only complaint is the edges are a bit hard but the flavor is amazing and it didn’t crumple so it’s a 10 in my book. I don’t love deep dish so I didn’t get it but I loved that I had the OPTION. I feel like that’s so rare. I would definitely come here again.
