What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Four pizzas labeled as certified gluten-free:
- Kosmic Karma
- Veg Out
- Mighty Meaty
- House Special
- Build-your-own options can be made gluten-free on GF crust, but be mindful that some builds may carry higher cross-contamination risk depending on ingredients and prep area.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Some recent experiences describe locations where the GF pizza is prepared in a dedicated GF area and oven, while other reports describe lack of dedicated space or cross-contact concerns. This inconsistency means risk Levels can vary by visit and staff.
- A few reviews mention cross-contamination risks with salads or non-GF items prepared in the same kitchen, underscoring the importance of clear communication with the server about your needs.
- In general, diners note the importance of staff changing gloves, using dedicated tools, and delivering GF pizzas separately, but there are occasional reports of miscommunication or deviations.
