What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free dough balls (Dough Balls Al Forno and other GF Dough Balls varieties).
- Pizzas made on gluten-free bases (all Romana and Classic recipes can be ordered GF, and two GF base sizes are available at some locations).
- Gluten-free pasta dishes (Bolognese, Creamy Pesto, Napoletana) when served with gluten-free Fusilli pasta.
- Desserts and sorbets labeled GF (examples include Chocolate Brownie and various GF gelatos/sorbets).
- Other GF-friendly items that are explicitly noted in official GF guides include various GF starters, sides, and specialty dishes when prepared with GF ingredients and served on GF-specific equipment.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is potential for cross-contact risk inherent in shared kitchens.
- However, there are multiple documented measures intended to reduce risk: Coeliac UK accreditation, color-coded serving ware (e.g., black plates for GF items), purple pizza cutters, separate prep areas or utensils for GF dishes, and staff trained to handle allergies.
- A number of diners report safe experiences with GF meals, though there are occasional negative notes (including a recent 2.0-rated experience) that highlight the importance of clear communication and careful ordering.
- Given the size and nature of the chain, experiences can vary by location and staff familiarity; it’s wise to ask questions about specific cross-contact practices on the day of dining.
