Best gluten free pizza around, and my daughter loved her regular crust pizza as well! We enjoyed creme brulee and sorbet as a sweet treat. Wonderful service and great vibe!

We drive from North Naperville because Wooden Paddle checks all the boxes for us! Food quality, service and friendly staff. We have never had a bad meal there. Lastly they use ZERO seed oils! They make me very sick and i do not know of even one Naperville restaurant who makes this claim.
