Celiac's beware-not gluten safe and not willing to go the extra step to help avoid cross contamination. I called before going with my son and the guy was very brusque on the phone. I asked if they had gluten free dough, but when I asked if he could cook the pizza on a pan or sheet of foil he cut me off 'we do this all the time, it's fine'. No, not if you have celiac disease it's not. My son's sport team was eating there and I hated for him to miss out, so I called back and this time got a more helpful girl who right away told me they cook GF dough on a separate surface. When I asked if they use the sauce/spoon that touches the regular pizza she put me on hold to check. When she came back on the line she assured me they would not do this. Husband went with my son and the same guy that answered the phone told him he wouldn't get a separate sauce. He said he's been doing this a long time and people "with your allergy" do just fine. So no, we didn't eat there. Jake's of San Jose does say they will change the sauce FYI. I wish places that attempt to cater to those who need to eat gluten free due to celiac disease would actually educate their staff for simple ways to avoid cross contamination so everyone can be included, especially little kids. This isn't some kind of dietary preference but a serious auto-immune disease that shouldn't be treated like a huge inconvenience. Really, would a fresh sauce hurt your bottom line when you can just use it later?

Pizza is always fantastic. The gluten free crust here is the best out of all of the pizza places that offer GF pizza!
