🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free pizza bases (Romana and Classic recipes) can be used to make any GF pizza; base is produced in a gluten-free bakery and is marked on menus.
  • Gluten-free Dough Balls (Dough Balls Al Forno / PizzaExpress Dough Balls) when prepared with gluten-free Dough Balls.
  • Gluten-free Pasta dishes (when ordered with gluten-free Fusilli pasta): Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, Napoletana.
  • Desserts and cold offerings clearly identified as gluten-free, including Gluten-free Brownie and various Gelato/Sorbet options.
  • Piccolo (children’s) GF options can be prepared GF, including pizzas, pasta, and GF Dough Balls.
  • Two GF base sizes for pizzas are available (big and small) in some offerings, with GF pizzas typically distinguished on delivery or in-restaurant service.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. This means there is inherent cross-contamination risk in shared spaces.
  • However, multiple lines of evidence describe strong mitigation practices: use of separate prep spaces and utensils for GF dishes, color-coded plating or dedicated serving ware, and clear labeling of GF items on menus.
  • Reviews cite frequent staff training and proactive allergy checks, with several diners reporting confidence in the safety measures. A minority of experiences note concerns, but the prevailing pattern emphasizes careful, documented practices.
