🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Pizzas on gluten-free crust (GF crust pizzas; reported as safe for celiac diners in recent experiences), including specific mentions of lasagna and meat lovers pizzas on GF crust.
  • Sandwiches or burgers served on gluten-free buns/rolls (e.g., portobello chicken sandwich on a gluten-free roll; a gourmet burger on a GF bun; an Udi’s GF bun noted in a separate review).
  • Grilled chicken dishes described as gluten-free, including salads featuring grilled chicken.
  • Gluten-free desserts (cookies and brownies) mentioned as available.
  • Items noted as being prepared with dedicated or careful gluten-free handling in the past (e.g., pizza prepared on a separate pan; use of new cheese for a gluten-free pizza in at least one account).

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Some historical reports indicate cross-contact concerns, such as a GF bun being served with a non-GF component and a negative experience where a gluten-containing item may have been involved in the meal flow. This highlights the importance of explicit confirmation with staff when ordering.
  • One third-party listing (not named here) notes the establishment may not be a dedicated gluten-free facility, suggesting potential cross-contact risk. The collection includes multiple accounts that imply careful handling in some cases, but the facility status is not uniformly described across all sources.
  • A few reviews show that staff responsiveness helped correct issues (e.g., replacing a bun or tweaking the order), which is encouraging but underlines the need for clear communication when ordering GF items.
