I am a Celiac and Stan and his staff never fail in making my food GF, no cross contamination. Also, the food here seems to be cooked better then even other Pizza Pizza locations.

A very nice place to go and eat, the food was amazing. The service was great, even giving out complimentary bread while you waited for your food. The restaurant itself is so nice. I love the options for vegans, as that is important to me when I have to go to a restaurant. It also has other items for those who have a gluten free diet or vegetarian.

My wife is gluten-free and tried the cauliflower crust pizza. It was okay but only tepid in temperature. I ordered the chicken parm. The server paid no attention to us. She did not check back after a few bites, did not offer extra parm cheese, and did not refill our drinks. We only saw her at the end with the bill. She still got a 15% tip but likely deserved much less.

Small place in the center of Thunder Bay where you can both take away and eat at one of the very few tables available. It offers a wide choice of wraps (piadine) and vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Almost the entire menu is also available gluten free. There are also many smoothies.. there are some for all tastes even if not much to my liking. If you can, make a reservation, because at certain times it is very crowded.

This is a regular stop for us. We enjoy it every time. My one gripe/suggestion is that the menu has not changed and I end up eating the same thing every time. I wish Seler would change their menu at least seasonally and offer up some specials. I eat gluten free and they are great to accommodate allergies and food intolerances, but the menu is so limited that I end up eating the same couple of dishes each time. With such a limited population to cater to, having a limited menu makes loyal foodies like me go to other restaurants to get some variety. Even the dessert menu hasn't changed. I mean, I like creme brule as much as anyone, but at least change the flavour weekly for a bit of variety. Variety is the spice of life and in that regard, Seler is becoming a bit boring. I wouldn't even bother with other restaurants if Seler had a more diverse menu. They really are that good.
