Ordered a gluten free sub because I have celiac. They can’t toast due to shared surfaces. My sandwich was $15 on the board but $28 with a Diet Coke so you do the math for the gluten free upcharge.

The menu is not marked with gluten free options but the staff were very knowledge about what could be made gluten free. Good amount of gf options. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was very cool! Just a bit too pricy

This place is fabulous. They have what I consider to be the best gluten free pizza in the world. Maybe there are other parts of the galaxy where gluten free pizza's are made in space stations that are done better then Mister Pizza. You got these astronauts that are relatively smart people and maybe they have some space lab where they make amazing creations. Or it could be a space kitchen, with a space pizza oven. Space. Space is the only place where you will find a better gluten free pie then Mister Pizza.

I stopped by recently for brunch. It was my first time. Nicely decorated inside, plenty of seating and outdoor patio as well. I ordered the arugula salad. It was light, lemony and fresh. The polenta croutons were crispy and delicious. A nice touch for someone with a gluten free diet and a cool twist on a salad. Service was fine. The plates I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to try more because of my limited diet. A nice place to stop by if you are in the area and want some Italian.

Nothing fancy but definitely delicious, it's a bit pricier than I'd hope with some options but overall it's not super expensive, far less so than ETS across the street and in my opinion far better in general. Staff have always been nice and helpful if needed, Food is well above fast food quality and while definitely not healthy food it's extremely delicious. It's also nice that hours go as late as they do. I wish there were more options for those with gluten related allergies and vegetarians but definitely well worth going to if those things don't affect you.
