Avenue kitchen + bar

It was my first time trying Detroit-style pizza and I really enjoyed it. The staff accommodated food allergies and dietary restrictions well. Loved to see non-alcoholic and gluten free beer available too. Vegan cheese is available for the pizza. I’ll have to come back and try some of the other veg-friendly options they have.

This establishment cannot be trusted with allergies. We ordered a gluten free item from the menu, and specified to our server that it was necessary for it to be gluten free. The manager brought over the appetizer and as he was setting it on the table informed us that it had been contaminated in the frier. Since it was no longer gluten free, I informed him of such and to my shock he had the gall to argue that the food was gluten free because it had been made without glutenous ingredients. This reveals that the LEADERS of this establishment do not have allergen training as anyone competent would know that gluten is an allergy and you cannot list something as gluten free on the menu if it is contaminated during preparation, regardless of the ingredients in it. This establishment knowingly lies about allergens on their menu.
