I can’t say enough good things about Spiro’s Pizza in Calgary. As someone with Celiac disease, eating out is often more stress than it’s worth, not at Spiro’s.
I traveled from Houston to Calgary several times, and Spiro’s is my must have for safe, gluten-free pizza. Every time I’ve eaten here, the staff has shown a deep understanding of Celiac disease not just gluten intolerance, but the actual medical condition Celiac and the seriousness of cross-contact that celiacs face when eating away from home. That care is rare and so appreciated when you find a place like this.
On my most recent trip, I was staying at a hotel on the opposite side of town and considering delivery via DoorDash. Truth be told, I was nervous as this was the first time I had ever ordered deliver, always in person to gauge safety. It’s hard enough trusting the process in person...I was super worried something was going to get lost in translation with ordering via an app. So, I called first and spoke with the owner’s daughter, and she did her best to reassure me that everything would be handled with the same level of care as when I am there in person. She even told me to leave a note in the DoorDash “special instructions” and she’d take it from there.
The DoorDash driver was great: friendly, communicative, and fast, the pizza was steaming hot. When he handed me the box, all my anxiety gone. On the box was a big red “Gluten Free” sticker sealing the box, and the receipt was marked up with “Celiac,” “Gluten Free,” and “Be Safe.” They were spot freaking on!
the pizza was as always just amazing, really, you wouldn't know it's gluten free I have tested it several times because it it just that good it's hard to believe it's not cardboard. It is by far the best GF pizza I’ve had anywhere. Crispy crust, generous toppings, and cheese the cheese- amazing!
Spiro’s, thank you for truly understanding what it means to eat out as a Celiac.
