Published per-item allergen data is not yet available, so ask staff about a specific dish rather than assuming.

Best Pizza & Brew is mainly New York style: thin, hand-tossed pizza in 12-inch and 18-inch sizes, sold whole or by the slice. We also make a smaller range of thick, crispy Detroit-style pizza in an 8"x10" pan cut into four square slices. Both start from our proprietary dough recipe.
