Edit: I spoke with Brandon the owner and agreed to come back. As previous the pizza and drinks were great. Both Brandon and his brother were apologetic and made sure we had a great time. While they could have just ignored it, they owned the issue which says a lot. We will be back.
I recently dined in at The Civil with some friends. I had heard great things about it and was eager to try it. On arrival our waiter, did seem relatively new to the role, to give this context, I have worked in Food and Beverage in 6 countries for large luxury hotels. He was pleasant and made every effort to accommodate. Received our initial drinks and they were well presented and tasty (Flights).
We ordered pizzas and my girlfriend made sure to advise the waiter she does have a gluten intolerance and ordered the gluten friendly specific pizza crust. When her pizza was brought out, I clarified with the waiter it was gluten friendly and he said yes. Immediately following ran back to the table to let her know he made a mistake and forgot to make that note for the kitchen and he would get it fired immediately.
To this point no issues and it was handled well. I understand mistakes sometimes happen and appreciated his sense of urgency in resolving it. They also waived the charge for her pizza which I thought was a kind gesture. The new pizza took approximately 18 minutes to come out of the kitchen. At this point everyone else is done eating.
What really left a negative taste in my mouth was the conversation I overheard between our new server and who I believed to be the manager. His words were "you need to go talk to that table, there time is up and we need the table, They need to settle the bill."
I can appreciate that they have policies in place and agree with the application of it, but at this point, my girlfriend has just gotten her pizza, is a slice in and we now have a waiter telling us its time to go. We were not here this long because we wanted to be, but rather as a result of you and your staff's actions, or lack there of.
I am disappointed that we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience in a situation that we had little control over. The pizza was great, and overall the service was okay, but in light of the way in which we were treated, I will not be returning and could not wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone else.
Well I was told that the food was cooked on a bbq and there were no grilled lines or anything on my jerk chicken the rice was average at best all they did is put sauce on a cooked chicken breast I would save my money and not come back ! Although it is gluten friendly, if it’s a grab and go and not sit and eat I understand why it’s not that great you will wait to get home before you see the over priced food, maybe they should also say truffle chips are truffle salt on potatoe chips, marketing wins again not quality or value

The food was delicious, the wines were great, and the prices were reasonable! I really enjoyed the gluten-free pizza and the prosciutto-wrapped dates. I'll definitely have to try more appetizers next time!
Fantastic experience, fast, hot and delicious. Gluten free pizza is the best I've had. They don't skip on toppings or cheese. Communication was easy, order was perfect and they delivered sooner than expected. Cheers to great pizza!
Genuinely horrible pizza. It's like Pepi went one by one through the ingredients to optimize how terrible each one could be. Terrible dough, no gluten structure, awful texture, no flavour. Ketchup like sauce with way too much sugar. Rubbery cheese. Suspect tasting pepperoni. Pepi has created an ensemble of flavours and textures that makes you question pizza itself (in a bad way). Would give 0/5 if I could. I hear the munchie subs are good though.
Delicious food and great friendly service! Went in to use the washroom not wanting to buy anything because I'm vegan but I took a look at the menu and they have vegan options. Also each day they have a deal and the day I went in they happened to have a deal on their vegan grilled cheese. Also multiple bread options which is good for me because white bread breaks out my skin! Also they have gluten-free options.
