My in-laws love this place. I am lactose intolerant. I find this is a hard place to find options for myself. I can get soup or pasta, and when questioning a mild gluten allergy, really all I can get is soup. The soup is decent. Service is great, typically it's college students and they're very friendly. As for the atmosphere, sometimes it can get overwhelming. As someone who has struggled with multiple types of anxiety, it can be panic-inducing. People are packed in pretty close, and there's typically a lot of people there. It's difficult to move chairs, so if you're trying to get out of your chair that can be a real trick. And there's a lot of corners that you don't know who's coming around, and it's not uncommon to run into somebody or have them run into you. It can also get quite loud in there, especially when someone is being sung a birthday song. That said, it's a very friendly and excited and happy atmosphere. For many people in the area, this is a traditional place to go for birthdays or for reminiscent memories of their college days. It used to be called heaps, and a lot of their promotions are no longer in existence that people remember. For example, the heaps promotion where you could try many different kinds of pizza was discontinued during COVID. I personally try to avoid Brick Oven. I don't find the food to be that high quality, the amount of cheese they put on the foods and other dairy products in their foods make me very physically uncomfortable when I eat them, and most foods there tend to be relatively greasy, or high carb, low protein, the opposite of what I'm shooting for, diet-wise. The foods are definitely cooked on-site. But it's not really for me. The nostalgia element is not there for me because I didn't enjoy college as much, and the prices don't make it a college student-friendly location.

Normally I’d give this place 5 stars in every section. Today we went to get my husband a gluten free cookie for his birthday. They sold us this tiny cookie for $3.90. The cashier didn’t say a single word to us the whole time, it was a first for bad service and we felt robbed.

Their pizza is great. It is hard to find good gluten free pizza, but they do a good job. Their GF crust is the best around.

I love eating at Costa Vida! My sister and I both have celiac, and the employees are incredible about switching their gloves and keeping our meals separate from other orders. I eat here frequently because I can trust that I’ll feel great afterwards!
