- Gluten-free Dough Balls (Al Forno or PizzaExpress variants)
- Gluten-free pasta dishes when served with gluten-free Fusilli pasta (e.g., Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, Napoletana)

- Gluten-free beer is noted by several diners

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk common to many chain restaurants.
- Strong positive signals exist: reported practices include color-coded plating, dedicated pizza cutters, and separate utensils for GF orders; some sources indicate strict allergen processes and staff training.
- Recency matters: most of the favorable safety signals and GF options are supported by recent experiences, which strengthens confidence, though a very small number of older critiques exist.
- Always follow the on-site allergen guidance and confirm that your specific GF needs are acknowledged by staff at the moment of order.
