What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free base pizzas (Romana and Classic recipes can be ordered on a gluten-free base)
- Pasta dishes that can be made gluten-free with gluten-free fusilli (Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, Napoletana)
- Dough Balls options prepared with gluten-free Dough Balls (including Dough Balls Al Forno and Dough Balls PizzaExpress), and Gluten-Free Dough Balls
- Piccolo (kids) GF options including GF dough balls and salads
- Desserts and sweets with GF options such as certain gelatos and sorbets (GF-compatible options listed), and some GF-ready dough ball desserts when served with GF Dough Balls
- GF items are often signaled on the plate or with a purple cutter, and some menu items specify “GF” or “gluten-free base” clearly on the main menu
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk is present in theory.
- Multiple safety measures are mentioned across the evidence, including separate prep spaces, dedicated utensils or pans in some reports, color-coded plating, and dedicated pizza cutters for GF servings.
- There are occasional mixed notes in user feedback, including at least one older review mentioning concerns; however, the vast majority of recent experiences describe safe handling, allergen communication, and strong GF signaling.
- Some feedback references the use of rice flour and other precautions to minimize airborne flour; staff often verify allergen needs and document them for the order.
