🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free pizzas on gluten-free bases (Romana and Classic recipes can be ordered GF)
  • Gluten-free pasta dishes (where GF Fusilli pasta is used)
  • Gluten-free Dough Balls (Dough Balls PizzaExpress and related GF Dough Balls variants)
  • Desserts and sweet options clearly indicated as GF (examples include Chocolate Brownie, Sorbet, and certain Gelato options) with wafers omitted
  • Child-friendly GF options (Piccolo menu items can be prepared GF in appropriate contexts)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • While there is strong, positive, recent evidence of careful gluten-free handling, there are occasional notes dating back several years that mention shared ovens or broader kitchen practices. The most recent and frequent feedback, however, highlights dedicated cues for GF preparation (color-coded plates, purple cutters, allergen lists, and staff discussion before serving).
  • In practice, some guests still report concerns about cross-contamination in shared spaces, but the overwhelming recent pattern is active, explicit steps to minimize risk and clear communication from staff.
