It’s hard to find a good gluten free pizza and wow, this one was GOOOD. They make the dough in house and the pizza was perfectly fluffy but yet crispy bottom and edges. They have special crafted pizza options or you can create your own. I loved the Hawaiian! Perfect mixture of sweet and salty.
Brownie skillet was not gluten free but still hot, gooey, and delicious! -
Reservation not needed, but recommended if you dont like long wait time. It was our first time there and decided to wait for a table, although 45min wait time was given, we were seated in half that time.
Atmosphere is great, the staff is kind and friendly, the manager was on it! Excellent service overall.
Pizza, AMAZING! Mozz sticks, to melt for & the most delicious burger I've had in a very long time. Manager was kind enough to treat us to a dessert, and boy did that melt in my mouth. 10/10 highly recommend. -
Ate here with a friend for dinner. I have celiac & called ahead, they told me they have the best gluten free pizza on the east coast (i’ll be the judge of that hahaha). The hostess was great and walked me through the menu. I ended up getting the garlic cheese bread app and cesar salad (have to ask for both to be GF). Both were 10/10. The salad was HUGE. Grilled chicken is an extra $6. My friend got the pizza and said it was great. Will be returning to try the GF pizza! Only pizza they cant do GF is Nashville Hot because of the fried chicken. No gluten reaction from me!!!

*Update as of 4/12/26*
We went back to try the food and outdoor patio again. Our server, Mackenzie, and the manager, Steph, were both phenomenal. Steph created a few great gluten free vegan pizza options for us to try, including one that used to be on the original menu. They were all delicious! It would be very helpful for those of us who are plant based to have at least one or two of these options on the regular menu to choose from so that all we'd need to do is ask for the gluten free crust (should that apply to others), which would not only make the experience so much more streamlined when it came to ordering but also much more cost effective. As a side note, they can make the cheese sticks vegan and gluten free as well, but since their gluten free crust is the smaller sized pizza, that's what it would come out as, so it's better for a larger group to share as opposed to just the two of us, from both a cost and quantity perspective. Since the weather was nicer today, the patio temperature wasn't an issue. But when it gets hotter outside (and we all know that it will!), a few standing fans would definitely help make the space more comfortable for those of us who have pets that we want to bring with us. Overall, an improved visit this time, but I think the menu could still use a few tweaks to include more of us in the plant based community more effectively.
*Original Review*
My husband and I found this place when we were looking for some gluten-free pizza. They do have a gluten-free crust, which is delicious. For the record. You can only get it in the regular size though, not the larger size pizza. And if you're vegan like me, they do have vegan cheese. But once again you can only get it on the regular size pizza and not the larger size. So we split a a regular sized gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese and loaded it up with vegetables because they didn't have any vegetable pizza on their menu. I thought that was odd to be honest. And apparently because they didn't, we ended up paying $45 for a regular size pizza. While the pizza itself was really good, it was not worth $45. I feel like that was absolutely ridiculous!
The service was good and it was nice that they had an outdoor patio where we could sit with our dog. But there are no heaters so that wasn't very helpful. We ended up taking the pizza to go because it was too cold for us to sit outside.
Overall, while the food itself was good and the staff is really nice, this is not a place we will go back to because the price for a regular size pizza is absolutely crazy and the outdoor experience when the weather is not nice is not ideal. -
On Sunday evening me and my husband decided to stop in here for dinner as I saw reviews online about their Gluten Free options. We were seated fast and met with our wonderful server Trace who was very knowledgeable about Celiac and being Gluten Free, as someone in her family has it, just like my self and she was able to communicate with staff and help me make selections and make sure all my food did come out safely. The food was AMAZING ! We got GF Garlic bread (which was green and it was St. Pattys Weekend) lol, I got a GF Meatsiah Pizza and my husband got the Founders Pizza (his had gluten). We really enjoyed our food and thank you again Trace for the amazing service! We will be back!
