Buona

I ordered the chicken-avocado Protein Bowl. I told the order-taker I have a severe wheat allergy (easier than explaining Celiac's). While he made notes in their system the manager was nearby. He came over closer and verified that was what I had said. I told him it was important my food stay far away from bread and surfaces with flour and crumbs, etc. He went right over to the kitchen and got the attention of a cook, talked to him for a minute or two, then came back and told me they would make sure to take care of it. My husband's food was made and brought out separately from mine. My order was brought over to me by the order-taker, who had not been handling any other food (that I saw). They were very nice and accommodating, and my food was very good.

FYI cross contamination warning - They dip regular bread in the same beef/juice they serve “gluten free” beef bowls and sandwiches from. This chain is not safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

A ton of options and the team is very knowledgable. They take every possible precaution to ensure there is no cross-contamination.

whow, How can this place even be listed on the find me GF app. take them out please. They tell you they have GF options..then they give you a book where 95% of the menu had wheat. .the staff absolutelly is NOT trained in regard to the difference between GF.. and celiac. My husband enjoyed his Pizza..therefore I'll give them 1star

I’ve always craved the food at Buona. Within the past few months, I noticed that they now offer a GF pita bread. I get it with the grilled chicken breast. It does need a bit of sauce like Mayo or Ranch, etc. So good.

I ordered a hot Italian beef sandwich and a hot dog. They were both served on a pita not on bread. I didn't ask if they dip in the same sauce as they do the glutinous bread. It was good but the pita doesn't absorb the au jous like bread would. If I got it again I would order the "gravy" on the side so I could dip it.
