Filippi's Pizza Grotto

I absolutely loved this place. I felt so safe eating here as one of the waiters explained that the owner daughter has. They know what they’re doing. They have a whole allergy menu and you can build your own pizza. The pizza was amazing. And everybody was so friendly there.

Was assured they used a different pan and pizza cutter to cook the pizza. Felt sick soon after eating, and my margarita pizza tested positive for gluten with my Nima sensor.

Delicious gluten free cauliflower crust! You would never know it’s cauliflower. And they cook the gluten free pizzas in a separate oven.

I found this restaurant on Find Me Gluten Free. We went to the Pacific Beach San Diego CA location. For gluten-free, they offered gluten-free noodles for pasta and gluten-free pizza crust. The gluten-free pizza was Absolutely fabulous!! The environment was fun and casual. The service was great! Another family member, ate vegan and another family member ate vegetarian. And of course, I have a gluten-free. I would definitely visit here again :)

They have GF pasta and Coliflour crust. I went with pasta. Their homemade marinara sauce is excellent. Staff understands cross contamination.

What a fun find! I had a lot of disappointments on my trip to San Diego. They don't seem to fully grasp gluten free. However, we came here and they fully got it. There are not many options. Just one type of pasta and then the pizza. Got the spaghetti with marinara and a sausage. I asked if they would bake it for me and they said absolutely! They also boiled the pasta in separate water. It was lovely pasta and their marinara was almost as good as mine! The gluten eaters in the family absolutely loved the pizza. Hope to come back on our next trip!

Some of the best GF pizza I’ve ever had. Service is not so great, but totally worth the delicious food. Cross contamination is possible, but I had no problems with being gluten intolerant.

Good gluten free pizza, but kind of expensive for what you get. Certain managers understand needs of Celiacs completely, while other servers have no clue. Seek out a server who knows what you're talking about.

I called the Fillipi's pizza in Escondido and they have gluten-free crust but they said they make no effort to keep it from touching the other products in the oven so it isn't safe if you have allergy. No point ever trying this place if you are celiac like myself.

Celiac friendly?

No

Pretty good pizza.
