🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free pizza (10-inch) made in a separate area and with dedicated handling practices. Some staff and reviewers mention separate ovens and gloves changes between gluten-containing and gluten-free pies.
  • Toppings that are gluten-free are considered safe by staff, with the caveat that meatballs may contain breadcrumbs (so avoid them if you need strict gluten-free).
  • The establishment advertises a gluten-free crust option in online ordering, and several reviews highlight successful gluten-free pizzas when prepared with proper precautions.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, which means there is an inherent cross-contamination risk compared to a dedicated GF facility.
  • However, there is substantial evidence of proactive safety measures: some staff change gloves, some pizzas are made in a separate area and/or on separate pans, and there are accounts of staff being knowledgeable about gluten-free toppings and safe handling practices.
  • A few reviewers emphasize that there is always some inherent risk (airborne flour) in non-dedicated facilities, but many diners with celiac report zero reactions when precautions are followed and the pizza is prepared separately.
  • Overall, most recent experiences lean toward a favorable safety signal, but the absence of a dedicated GF facility keeps the risk from being considered zero.
