"We do offer a 'fresh' mozzarella to top the pizzas with, and also carry goat cheese and a vegan soy cheese if you would like to try something a little different. Gluten free salads, brownies, and beer round out our gluten free menu options, so come hungry! If you have any other questions about our menu or our concept, please do not hesitate to ask.

". . . The restaurant, Pizza Fusion, has organic, wholesome food with many gluten free options. They serve magnificant salads, out of this world pizza toppings, and a crust that will satisfy any gluten free craving. They also serve gluten free beer, six different kinds to be exact! I had to count them just to make sure.
Pizza Fuion even has a flourless brownie to satisfy that sweet craving, although personally I have not tried it.
The gluten free pizza is an additional $5. But if you go on a Monday it is the same price as their regular pizza.
This is the third time that we have been there. They are relatively inexpensive, and I love the atmosphere."

"After reading all the glowing reviews of good Pizza Fusion GF experiences on this website, I was very excited to experience it for myself! I phone ordered a steak salad and garlic pizza both gluten-free from Hillcrest Pizza Fusion. The lady that took my order said she was going to make double-sure they knew to make it gluten free! When I came to pick up my order the salad clearly had two crustini toasts on it so I said that isn't gluten-free. The guy grabbed it and said I'll fix that for you and brought it back to the kitchen and then appeared to look to see if I was looking to decide if he was going to make a new one from scratch or merely remove the toast and leave gluten crumbs in the salad. Since I was looking he started a new salad. I asked the cashier if this pizza crust is gluten free since they didn't get the salad right and he looked and said it was gluten-free. The receipt said gluten-free on it. I thought I was good to go. I was badly glutenated; I bet the crust was regular and not gluten-free."

"This weekend I went to Pizza Fusion in Hillcrest and split a gluten free pizza with my friend. The pizza was pretty good, and the service was great. They also have a gluten free/vegan brownie on their menu which was ok too, as well as gluten free beer. The waitress was very aware of gluten allergies, and very helpful
and the menu clearly states a lot of info about what is gluten free. They also use a lot of local/organic stuff which is great. For those who can't have dairy there is also soy cheese available. I would recommend it for someone really craving pizza!"
"My husband and I just got home from a 10 day trip to San Diego! We had a great time. . . Pizza Fusion was great. My husband (who has no food allergies but is a champion and will eat everything I eat!) and I went there for lunch. We were greeted by a very happy and bubbly young man. He sat us and then proceeded to ask us if we were gluten free or vegan. After answering yes to Gluten free and yes to other food allergies, he sat down with us and showed me on the menu what I could and couldn’t have. He walked me through the steps that the kitchen takes with the Gluten free pizzas to assure me that there would be no cross contamination. They use a totally different section of the restaurant for GF prep and cooking, even the toppings are prepared separately. He was great. Having food allergies makes eating out very complicated and difficult, not to mention it makes me feel uncertain and scared sometimes. Pizza Fusion did a tremendous job of alleviating any fears that I had about getting sick from what I was going to eat! And the food was SOO good! It was such a blessing to have "real pizza" again! We liked it so much we got take out later in the week! When we went back in the same man who was waited on us before, remembered us and asked how we were and how we like San Diego, etc! 10 out of 10 in my book for service and food!" Jayn Anderson,
