| - I was at my friend's apartment and literally nothing soundsed good except pizza. Turns out there is not a single Pizza Hut location in Tempe that has gluten free capabilities, Domino's is not an option for celiacs like me, and Barro's is just a little bit out of my price range tonight.
Enter Revo Pizzabar. I thought, "Hey they have gluten free pizza, but I wonder what their policy is in terms of the shared pizza oven and keeping it safe for people like me..." I called the place and the nicest girl named Melissa answered the phone, and while initially confused by what I meant by "gluten free policies", she was more than happy to let the kitchen know that for safety reasons I would need my pizza baked on a sheet of parchment paper to protect it from the possible cross contamination in the oven.
I really appreciated that Melissa was understanding of my dietary restrictions and that she was happy to make it happen for me. It is one of the many reasons why I will definitely be returning to Revo again and again.
I got my pizza within 10 minutes (I walked over and picked it up); it was hot and it smelled like heaven in a box. One of the big issues with gluten free pizza is that sometimes the edges get burnt and the rest of the crust is at best underdone. Not the case with my order tonight; the bottom was crispy and the edges were nicely toasted. They use these big slices of fresh deli pepperoni, so you can bite through them and all of your toppings don't come off with the first bite.
When I walked in to pick up my order, I really liked the new-rustic decor of the place. They also have a full bar and huge tvs for you sports fans.
Pricing wise, those of us who eat gluten free know we are often subject to inflated pricing for any number of reasons. Not at Revo; here you get your gluten free pizza for the same price as regular crust! My pepperoni and mushroom pizza came out to $9.19 with tax. You build your own pizza starting at $6.50 and the price goes up with your topping choices. The pricing was another factor that influenced my choice to try Revo; it's really nice not to feel gouged for having a serious illness.
Part of the reason Revo is often uncrowded is the location- being on the northeastern spur of the Mill Ave district means less foot traffic. However, they do offer free parking in the City Hall garage across the street, and that definitely makes it worth a try. They opened in fall of 2014, and have been trying to build the following that they so greatly deserve.
I really enjoyed my experience with takeout from Revo tonight, and I will definitely be returning to take advantage of happy hour!
