This is hands down the best pizza in Destin. We ordered delivery to our condo on the beach, it arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule and the driver was super nice and helpful. The pizza itself is amazing, we tried 5 different ones, Tuscan Chicken, Ranch Chicken, Combo, Pepperoni, and Ham. All were magnificent. They even have a very good gluten free crust if you need that. Top tier stuff.
It’s great that options for gluten free are being made but as someone who is Celiac and has had their fair share of Gluten Free items, you can find better tasting desserts in middle of no where places like Scranton, PA. I want to be as constructive as possible in this review because it really is great that there are dedicated GF bakeries for those that are intolerant or Celiac, but that’s the only reason why it’s two stars and not one.
PRICING
I ordered a red velvet and vanilla cupcake and before I could even enjoy my cupcake I was very alarmed when I saw each cupcake rang up as 4 dollars. Again, these are normal sized cupcakes and if anything they are a bit on the smaller size. I understand that this is a niche small business trying to stay afloat but you have to consider that eating gluten free does not mean I have money to waste. Because I have Celiacs, I have no other option but to eat GF but today I decided it would be nice to splurge a little on a cupcake. However, if you are the average person in Miami, you will not be able to justify the cost of a singular cupcake. I’m also going to add on to here that the machine asked automatically for 18%,20%, or 25% tip… for takeout.
TASTE
Vanilla tasted strongly artificial and not pleasant. Red velvet was bitter and mild in every other flavor and was not well balanced with the cream cheese. Texture was gritty on both, more so on the vanilla. Aftertaste is not pleasant and is a somewhat tarty/sour, acidic, and bitter taste.
CONCLUSION
Saying you’re gluten free is not an excuse to make a bad menu item. The recipes are not refined and feel like a first attempt at making a gluten free dessert. Especially at the price range, I do not recommend the average person come here as the food will be subpar for what you pay for. Overall, I am disappointed after having read so many excellent reviews. I will continue to search for better GF options in Miami but I will not come here again. Thanks for spending the time to read this.

This place did not disappoint. Had the Margherita pizza and Buffalo e prosciutto. Amazing. For dairy free peeps, I can tolerate buffalo mozzarella. I found this out in Italy.
They have dedicated fryers and are well versed in Celiac protocol. I had the fried shrimps and it was amazing. Highly recommend it!!! Staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I just loved it!!!!
Service is excellent.
For a place that's supposedly healthy, the number of vegan options and options that can be veganized or made gluten free (clearly marked on the menu) are minimal.
Of the vegan options, there are hardly any that are flavorful or special, at least in our family's opinion. The hummus and split pea soup were reasonably good. The fries and buffalo cauliflower were too oily. Ramen was ok.
Atmosphere could be better in terms of the noise level. Not great for conversation while it's busy.
Overall, as a vegan/vegetarian family, we won't be going back.
I am celiac, dairy-free, and soy free. This was the first restaurant I felt comfortable eating in since the waiter and kitchen staff took all my dietary restrictions seriously and recommended certain foods that would abide to all of them. It is not easy to find an accommodating restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those who are very sensitive to strict dietary restrictions!! The food was prepared by a chef and the taste was phenomenal!!!
Met Stephanie her self she is absolutely an amazing person. When I tell you how excited I was to be able to have crepes after not able to have one in Epcot I screamed and boy was I excited to savor a savory crepe. My family and I are all celiac and so we got the salmon avocado crepe (amazing 10/10) and the strawberry banana Nutella once again amazing 10/10) highly recommend if in Miami area so amazing and have a whole gluten free menu 💖
Food was very good but the music and service was more of an issue. It is already very busy and very loud, and adding a live band was not a good idea. We had to shout to hear each other, the toddler I was with wouldn’t eat her food until the breaks in between songs due to her covering her ears cause the music was so loud. Server dropped one of our meals and it took another 15 minutes before it came back out. We had a gluten free meal that came out around 15 minutes after everyone else’s food. Wrong sides with some meals as well. But being next to the water and slightly outside has a nice vibe and atmosphere.
Chicken tenders to die for fried pickles are from my dreams and they will fry anything on their menu gluten free. Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was out of this world and I actually have teared up many times from the taste of their amazing gluten free food.
It's a really amazing experience. So many options for all people in my party. Not one person had a bad thing to say. Took a container of the jam to go because it was so good.
This place was an absolute delight! The food was so fresh and so many options for gluten free foodies!! Wonderful staff! And a wonderful place! Will definitely go back when I am in the area.

Had a post Tampa Theater Star Wars pizza and their gluten free crust option were out of this world!!
The best part about the experience was our server Emily! From the moment we walked in, she immediately greeted us with the biggest smile, told us to sit anywhere and she took such great care of us throughout the entire afternoon!
We need more servers like her in downtown Tampa! Way to GO, Emily!! Keep up that high vibe and making everyone feel welcome! Give that young woman a raise!!
Foo Dog has been my favorite for years for gluten free food deliciousness. As someone with celiac, this place is a dream come true. Everything is so flavorful and unique from anything else around Jax. I try a new dish or app every time and I’m never disappointed. I love introducing this place to others. My only complaint is that wish I could buy their sauces and vegan popcorn by the gallon!
This. Was. Everything. The absolute best Fish & Chips i've ever had (gluten free) AND they have gluten free onion rings too! I was in GF fried heaven. It wasn't greasy, didn't get sick, and didn't even feel like we ate a heavy fried meal afterwards. The staff was great and the place was packed! This is the spot for sure - worth every penny. I felt very safe here - the girl at the register knew GF well.

Second time ordering delivery from this place and I couldn't be more unenthusiastic.
Prices without tax, tip or delivery fees:
10 inch gluten-free pizza = $20; They added wrong toppings and the gouda, bacon and pesto aioli were overpowered by the house sauce. Very ketchupy. Garlic tastes out of a can.
10 wings = $16.50; Speaking of things in containers, the blue cheese I was charged extra for (No, they don't give blue cheese or ranch with the wings for free) tastes about as good as the Hidden Valley bottle it came out of.
Would have left this place a 3 out of 5, but you can't have the word "Gourmet" in your name and have ingredients this average/bad. It's like saying you're a French winery and all your wine is from boxes sold at Costco.
We enjoyed dine in with 2 bowls with 6 items and a kids bowls with 3, one base, one veggie, and one protein. Some of our faves are the bases of sweet potato noodles, kale salad, and cauliflower potato mash. Our fav veggies are the grilled broccoli, golden chickpeas with a savory sauce and the awesome sweet potato chunks. My fav protein is the almond baked chicken which is the worlds best version of chicken strips. A few options like salmon are an up charge. Add on include Parmesan cheese, pico de gallo and guacamole. 4 sauces include a great spicy one and a balsamic.
Drinks include fountainhead sodas mostly made with sugar and one zero calorie. Three kinds of teas are natural from unsweet to lightly sweetened with honey.
Accessible van parking that is free and tight parking.
Accessible gender free restrooms with grab bars

Amazing food and gluten free options. Highly recommended if you are visiting St. Augustine. Staff was extremely friendly and made it a pleasure to visit. Definitely save room for the ice cream.
I have never had a gluten free pizza that’s so good! 10/10 would recommend. They were able to make the crust still fluffy and crispy, something I’ve never had from gluten free dough. Will be driving 2 hours for this again very soon!
They advertise a lunch menu on the website, yet when you try to order online for lunch, they don't give you the option to order lunch online... they just give you a full menu or gluten-free menue which is completely different from their initial lunch menu they advertise.. another words, you are unable to order lunch online.
Amazing place 100% gluten free!! Perfect for those with celiac (like me) and the food is delicious! Fast service and a great atmosphere. Any time I come to Gainesville I'm stopping in
My daughter has a wheat/dairy/egg allergy and she was able to eat here!
We ordered a plain burger with bacon on a gluten free/dairy free bun, and also added ketchup. The fries are also gluten free and fried in a dedicated fryer. So, 5 stars for this because eating out with my daughter is nearly impossible! Happy to have found this place.
We stopped in for our anniversary lunch and could not be more pleased with our meals! They have so many gluten free options and they make sure those options are full of flavor! They are happy to answer any questions or concerns as well. The sushi was also absolutely delicious! Great dining experience.
My second experience with Bolay and it's delicious at this particular location too. Service is great, thank you! The wings could use some work, they need more love and tenderness. If you do decide to get them, let the cooks take their time, don't rush. Either way, not worth $2/wing but the sauces are tasty. I'm allergic to wheat so I'll update if I have a reaction but they advertise 100% gluten free so bon appetit ❤️😊

Went twice, two different dinners. Almost everything is GF, they have a disclaimer on CC, knowledgeable and instilled confidence when I asked questions and ordered.
First dinner I had popcorn shrimp and fried pickles. Delicious!
Went back on our last night for a blackened grouper sandwich on a Udi bun, with kettle cooked Bay chips. May have been my favorite meal. No issues after!
We will definitely be back!
Everything we ordered was amazing, the food there always leaves us feeling full but energetic. It’s great being able to have a nice meal without feeling tired or bloated after. Ron provides amazing service and gives the best recommendations.
We started with the mussels, they were delicious and the sauce was so good we had to order more of their gluten free bread to soak it up. Their bread tastes delicious and literally melts in your mouth.
The spicy watermelon margarita was one of the best alcoholic beverages I’ve ever had, I had planned on doing the wine pairing but the margarita was so good I ended up ordering another instead.
Then I tried the French onion soup, it was so fresh and delicious with a great heap of goat cheddar on top.
For my main course I had lasagna at Ron’s recommendation. It was phenomenal, it was hard to believe it was gluten free. I did steal a few bites of my fiancée’s carbonara with filet added and it was also delicious.
We ended the night with the orange cake, it was the perfect end to the night, so much flavor!
Had such a great experience here! I am gluten free and ordered a pizza for pick up - the team was so nice and honest and let us know it would be longer than expected because my pizza was in contact with gluten so they were completely remaking it. I love the honesty and safety they provided and the pizza was great as always. I highly recommend for any allergy needs to come here, they’ll keep you safe!
Absolutely delicious Italian fare! I had the Rigatoni with jumbo shrimp and my wife had the chicken Alfredo with fresh gluten free pasta. Amazing! Highly recommend.
The food was absolutely delicious! We were thrilled with their great selection of gluten-free options, which allowed us to enjoy a wonderful meal without worrying about our gluten allergy.
