What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free pizza (including cauliflower crust)
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (e.g., penne pasta, fettuccine Alfredo)
- Gluten-free focaccia bread
- Gluten-free desserts (e.g., flourless brownie à la mode)
- Gluten-free options that can be prepared separately or labeled as GF on order
- Several guests emphasize that items can be prepared in separate areas or with separate utensils, and some report sauces being GF. There are also warnings about toppings and items that may carry gluten (e.g., fried onions, certain meatballs with breadcrumbs) in some reviews. The absence of a dedicated gluten-free facility means ongoing caution is warranted, even for these explicitly GF items.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contact risk is a consideration.
- Mixed historical reviews exist: some long-ago reports strongly caution about cross-contamination, while more recent experiences describe proactive steps (separate prep areas, dedicated utensils, labeled GF items) and knowledgeable staff.
- A notable recent note indicates a change: no longer offering a regular GF crust at a South Padre Island location (cauliflower crust only), which could impact perceptions of GF safety depending on preparation and location.
- As with many GF-focused pizza places, success hinges on clear communication with staff about allergy needs and strict kitchen practices during each visit.
