I am vegan and am diagnosed with hyperactive Celiac Disease, which means even a microscopic amount will make me sick within 3 minutes and I'll be sick for 3 days-2 months after. Given this information, I have been extremely weary on eating out anywhere especially because of cross contamination, and I just ate here for the first time out of faith and MANNNNN!!😭😭😭 I missed a good black bean burger and this place absolutely rocks!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!💗💗💗

This place is a great place to get a bite to eat on campus! It’s so nice that it’s connected to the bowling alley as well. Most the time the food is really good, especially as a gluten free student (HIGHLY recommended the gluten free crust it’s delicious). I did notice a few weeks into the semester that the Cauliflower crust seemed to have changed and unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend it as it it is very airy and often doesn’t seem fully cooked. The service here is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Management seems friendly but some of the student workers are honestly just rude. Don’t get me wrong, some of them are also really great! A few things I noticed that did need to be addressed is that when there’s an allergy order I notice the workers change gloves but don’t wash their hands first… this is something that should always be done when changing gloves…regardless of an allergy order or not. I also have seen a student wearing upwards of 10 bracelets and watched one drag in the sauce… a bit unsanitary. Though, none of this is the worst I’ve ever seen and I’d still say i’m comfortable eating here. One other thing is that often the pizza is assembled extremely sloppily, basically like stuff was just piled onto it. I also asked for light pepperoni and received a pizza almost completely covered in it.Being on a college campus, the prices are a bit outrageous but the food is typically really good.

Great place to study! They have gluten free packaged options for dessert, and lactose free options at the bar. You can end up waiting up to 15 minutes for your drink after you order since it's inside SDSU, and it gets picked sometimes. Great place to study at night on Friday night.
