A cool little place that allows me to stay lo-carb and eat pizza? C'mon! You gotta be kidding! We love this place because you can customize your pizza to match your diet. They offer lo-carb and gluten free crusts. You go up to the counter, order your pizza and then come back when it's done. Helpful and pleasant staff always. Love it!

Great food and my wife can have it, even though she has a gluten allergy. Was not aware of the spraying situation on American flour. Learned a lot, and had a great meal!

The staff go above and beyond at this restaurant! The general manager (Auggie I believe is his name) was very conscientious about my daughter’s celiac condition and made absolutely sure she didn’t get a trace of gluten on her plate. Our server was just as wonderful and took very good care of us!

My first time visiting here was great. Got the mini sandwich and soup combo on a gluten free bagel.. love that they offer gluten free options for sandwiches, bagels, and cookies! Food was good, and my decaf house coffee warm over ice was fantastic 👌 I spent $10.48 for all this, that's hard to do at any coffee spot I've been especially for gluten free stuff. The staff was super kind and very helpful. I'll be coming back soon!! 🤗

I've been here several times now and am so happy with my experiences. The space is so warm and inviting. It feels like you are visiting a hospitable friend's home. The selection of food is excellent. The shortbread is perfect, and I've been pleased with everything else I have tried so far. There is plenty, savory and sweet, to choose from, and there are gluten free options, too. The coffee is good, and they have beans to purchase for home brewing as well. Service has always been quick and super friendly. I can't wait for it to be warm outside again, so I can sit on the porch.

First time visit this afternoon for lunch. Can’t say enough good things!! To begin with, our waitress Toni set the mood. Personable, happy and attentive during our visit. My friend and I each ordered a glass of wine, then shared a gluten free pizza and wings. Service not only friendly and attentive, it was quick, exactly as ordered and the drinks and food was fantastic. All that and affordable as well. Thanks to DBs with a big shout out to Toni! Thank you from Kathy Huntley and Jennifer Richardson.

Ordered the ZZ Top, genuinely good topping combo. The crust was awesome! Super friendly owners even though they tried to trade me pizza for my corgis. 🤣 We got the last dough ball of the day so we ordered a gluten free Meatball and garlic as well just to try it. My husband said he’s ruined for pizza from here on out he loved it so much. Even Fernwood Garden Center was inviting and contributed to the pristine vibe by recommending some local breweries to check out. What a great day! ❤️ J&J

Update 5/7/24- They've added gluten free bread! And it the best GF bread I've ever eaten in a restaurant! It was worth the wait! 😀. Original post -No Gluten Free bread yet, but Chicken salad on lettuce is delicious. Broccoli /cauliflower/ cashews etc side is great too. Lots of sandwich choices and coffee roasted in-house. Local business, give it a try!

Quirky spot with unique sandwiches, but the sourdough bread can be a bit crumbly; still a great experience overall.

I loved it, but the sourdough sandwich bread was not great. Very crumbly and chunks of it would fall off, similar to how gluten free bread sometimes is. Made it very messy. So either I would recommend switching the brand they use for sourdough, but local sourdough, or just get a different type of bread if they don’t make the switch. Even with all that though, the sandwich was great! I’m going back again. Just had to be honest!
