Stonefire Pizzeria

My sisters drove from Saskatchewan for a short visit. All three of us are Celiac and after researching GF options and we decided to try Stonefire. Settling on the deck and identified ourselves as Celiac needing extra care with food handling and preparation to prevent cross contamination. My sister made it clear we'd become very sick if exposed to gluten. Our waiter said the crust was made from cauliflower and sauces were a safe option. He made a trip to the kitchen to double check pasta dish ingredients and orders were confirmed. Margherita pizza, Grape pizza and Salmon GF pasta dish. After consuming the meal my sister questioned if pizzas were GF [not marked as such on the receipt], the young lady gave an indifferent shrug. Her severe reaction started before she made it back to Cranbrook. I'll spare the details but her night was spent on the bathroom floor. Second sister had a delayed reaction, waking in the night with her version of gluten poisoning. Recovery after exposure can take days, and she lost the better part of a two day trip confined to the hotel. The next day I phoned asking for the manager. He didn't take my call nor did he return it despite the message two patrons became ill at his restaurant. I'd hoped to discuss how this might have happened so staff could be better educated in food safety. Total disregard and indifference! I'll add one sister travels extensively around the globe and this is the only time she has experienced gluten poisoning. Good job Stonefire! I hope this review alerts people about what goes on behind the scenes.

While we didn’t have the pizza it did look amazing and we sat at the counter and drooled over all being made… even the gluten free one! We DID have the mussels that were incredible along with the bread to dip in the sauce! Large enough that the 2 of us called uncle and made that our dinner! Wait staff and pizza masters were lots of fun too.
