What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Certified gluten-free pizzas (multiple varieties) that are explicitly marked as GF.
- Gluten-free pizzas prepared in dedicated GF spaces or with dedicated ovens and separate prep areas (as described in multiple accounts).
- Gluten-free cauliflower crust pizzas, offered as a GF option and noted in several experiences.
- GF takeout options where boxes or packaging are labeled as gluten-free.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- While cross-contamination risk is repeatedly addressed positively in many reviews (staff training, dedicated spaces, gloves, and markers), there are occasional reports indicating lapses (e.g., gloves not changed or inconsistent practices). These are comparatively infrequent but real.
- Some reviews note that not every item on the menu is guaranteed GF, and caution is advised for non-GF menu items. Always specify you have celiac disease and request confirmation of dedicated GF prep where applicable.
- Overall, the presence of dedicated GF space and certified pizzas dominates the safety signal, but a traveler should still communicate clearly and verify the specific dish and its prep.
