For my first time trying a gluten-friendly pizza, Oak City Pizza Co. Deer Creek made a pretty decent one! My partner had been to this location a while back, but we both wanted to give it a try together.
I got the Gluten-friendly Hand Tossed Margherita Pizza, and my partner got the Gluten-friendly Hand Tossed Meat Pizza. For this kind of pizza the only size available was the 10 inch.
Something I appreciate about this business is that the gluten-free options are clearly listed! It is also helpful to specifically know which size! In addition of that, the website was incredibly easy to navigate. However, I was curious if there was any additional fee for making it gluten-free and could not tell online before visiting. There is a $3 fee but that is about normal.
Our pizzas did take a little while, but that was about expected too. Especially since the staff presumably had to clean their areas and prepare it differently. However, the pizzas came out nice and hot, and it smelled great! With the size of the Hand Tossed Pizzas, I felt that it was a good amount though not overly filling.
The Margherita Pizza was pleasant and the flavors were simple on the palate, but still was a good classic kind of pizza! It was nicely prepared, and there was enough of the red sauce, mozzarella, and basil. Also, my partner seems to enjoy the olive oil that was used too (taking a little off for their pizza).
I tried a bite of my partner’s Meat Pizza as well! Honestly, that was pretty good too! I am technically not as huge of a fan of sausage, but I would most likely get that pizza in the future! It was quite good! It was exactly as described on the menu, and just as freshly hot to enjoy! They thought there was a good amount of flour on the bottom of the pizza, but that did not take much away from their eating experience.
My partner is celiac, and they did not have any issues after which was great!
I thought it was nice that the tables had Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper available! As for the service, the employee taking our order was quite patient (especially since I was not completely sure on what to get yet), and let us know about the deal going on during that day! That was nice and helpful!
The atmosphere inside was comfortable. It felt easy to relax in and enjoy the pizza! I thought it was nice how it was a bit darker since some places can feel a little bright at times. There was good music too!
