What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free crust pizzas (GF crusts) are mentioned by diners as an available option.
- Cauliflower crust pizzas are also cited as an option in service discussions.
- Note: The establishment is not noted as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact precautions rely on kitchen practices and individual staff handling. Recent positive experiences exist, but there are also older concerns about shared ovens and staff knowledge.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contamination risk exists in principle.
- At least one older reviewer explicitly mentioned that the same oven could be used for GF and non-GF items, highlighting a potential cross-contact concern.
- A more recent negative service review underscores the importance of clear communication about GF preparation to ensure safe handling.
- Because cross-contamination risk is a real consideration and the facility isn’t dedicated GF, diners should:
- Communicate clearly about gluten-free needs when ordering and during pick-up.
- Consider requesting fresh equipment (e.g., cutters) and confirm how pizzas are baked and whether dedicated GF prep/ovens are used on busy days.
