Mark Walton Review of Upscale Pizza

My fiance has Celiac and we are always looking for a good gluten free option. We have our standbys that tend to do us right, but I travel a lot and sometimes it's just nice to have an alternative. Neither of us are crazy about pizza, never have been, but we just needed something we could grab and take home. We looked up gluten free and went through the typical explanations and prayers that they would understand our issues AND take it seriously enough to actually consider cross contamination. The employees at Gourmet assured us the owner has a friend with Celiac and there would be no cross contam. They explained that they have gluten free crust, but that they also use rice flour on all the surfaces for the gluten and gluten free dough. We took the pizza home and it was amazing. A little pricey, as gluten free always is, but not too bad comparatively to other gluten free options, and the taste def was top notch. Next time we're in Tampa, we'll be going back (and we don't even like pizza!). Just don't get the pizza with the white sauce. A little weird - personal taste I suppose. Gourmet was def a great find. Manager advised they are the only gluten free certified kitchen in the area and noone has ever called to say they were sick. The proof was in the food. Celiacs go get some pizza!
