Came here for the gluten free panini upon seeing another review. Got the chicken pesto with ham, grill cheese and complementary chocolate chip cookies. The gluten free bread was very good, crispy and held together well unlike some GF breads. The GF sandwich was wrapped in aluminium foil to avoid cross contamination in panini press. A new goto local sandwich shop over franchise restaurants.

Excellent clean tasting coffee. Baked goods include gluten free are tasty. Clean, modern vibe. Too many chairs/stools are hard or uncomfortable. Enjoyed the place very much.

I feel compelled to give this review because if you eat gluten free you need to know. I really enjoyed my trip to Colonnade Pizza. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are friendly . They do have a gluten free option for their pizza and it was pretty good. Being celiac I am always worried going to new places but I felt safe and enjoyed my pizza. The problem was that they only sell medium and large gf pizzas. Fair enough, but the medium pizza I ordered was the exact same size as my wife’s small regular pizza. The exact. Except I paid over $30 and she paid around $16. I am used to gf foods costing more but this was a ridiculous amount. To add the waitress would not accept the fact that the pizzas were the same size. **Since this review I have received a message from the owner which told me that the pizza is actually one inch in diameter larger. So I stand corrected. The price was still double for that extra inch for the gluten free option.
