Celiac safety profile
Buddy's Pizza
Pizza Restaurant
4061 28th St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49512
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free Detroit-style pizza prepared on foil and cooked in its own pan, with its own pizza cutter to avoid cross-contamination.
- Potential dairy-free cheese option (noted in some diners’ experiences); availability may vary by location.
- If dining in, ask about glove-changing practices and whether toppings or utensils are kept separate from gluten-containing ingredients.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk remains a consideration for highly sensitive individuals.
- While many recent experiences are positive, there are documented cases of sickness after GF pizzas, including a recent incident where a diner reported illness despite staff seeming knowledgeable.
- Some customers report crusts or ingredients that contain dairy, which can be a problem for those with dairy restrictions; saucing and toppings may also carry cross-contact risks if not carefully managed.
- Salad options or non-pizza items can present contamination risks if croutons or other gluten-containing components aren’t fully excluded.
