Goombas Pizzeria

Very knowledgeable about gluten-free! We had fettuccine with grilled chicken and penne. Cheese bread for appetizers were awesome 👌 servers were very attentive. Great clean atmosphere would recommend.

Under new ownership, dedicated GF menu is no longer and options are now significantly reduced. On a recent visit they also did not have GF pizza. Servers are doing their best but customer service from management is falling behind.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Goomba's.

The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the Gluten Free pizza, which was nothing short of amazing. The crust was crispy and flavorful, and the toppings were generous and perfectly cooked. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Gluten Free meatballs and bread sticks, which were both delicious and satisfying.

But the real showstopper was the dessert. As someone with Gluten Free dietary needs, it can often be challenging to find a dessert that truly satisfies, but the one I had at this restaurant was simply to die for. The combination of flavors and textures was a true delight, and I savored every last bite.

What really made the experience special, though, was the owner and staff. They were all incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, and went out of their way to ensure that I had an enjoyable and stress-free dining experience.

Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Whether you're Gluten Free or not, the food is simply fantastic, and the warm and welcoming atmosphere is the icing on the cake. I will definitely be returning soon!

Great Pizza and Dessert! I took my daughter with celiac here and it was awesome! We felt very safe and there were a lot of options for appetizers, meals, and dessert. The pizza crust was nice and crunchy, and the baked peanut butter torte was “the bomb”, according to my daughter.

I always order the gluten free pepperoni pizza with garlic breadsticks. It has been a very long time since I’ve had a breadstick let alone a garlic knot! These breadsticks hit the spot! They are amazing! The pepperoni pizza has nice, crispy crust and the pizza is very flavorful.

This is a wonderful family owned restaurant, the staff is friendly and is knowledgeable about the gluten free options

My spouse has celiac disease. We ate here last week. She had the GF ravioli, GF bread sticks (tiny), & salad. She loved the meal & had no complications afterwards.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Updated note: still outstanding and everything is perfect, but two reviews mentioned NIMA, and that device is well known to give false positives and is not scientifically accurate as any research will show you. That device is not at all trust worthy. Original review below:

Goomba’s is absolutely incredible, and I believe that nothing I say will do it justice. Instead of focusing on the food and staff in general (all are excellent), I was to focus on something important: the gluten free menu. My girlfriend has Celiac Disease, so outside of Disney World and a handful of other locations, it is difficult to find somewhere good she can eat. We saw that they had a gluten free menu, and upon arrival, it was a true actual menu (not just a portion of the regular one). All of the staff was exceptionally knowledgeable about the disease and the precautions for food preparation. We were advised that the owner herself suffers from Celiac Disease, and that is one of the primary reasons that they go out of their way to ensure an incredible array of food for those that suffer from it or other gluten-intolerance diseases. My food, which was not gluten free, was amazing, and it was one of the best pizzas that I have had in years (and I mean that). My girlfriend said with zero hesitation and no exaggeration that it was the best pizza that she has ever had. Their regular menu and quality of service alone would have ensured that I recommended it, but add in the gluten-friendly menu and other items, as well as the very fair price and awesome employees, and it ensures we will be going back over and over. Goomba’s is HIGHLY recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The GF breadsticks are tiny, but good. Reminds me of Brazi Bites dough. Staff is super nice. Visiting from out of state, will enjoy again.

Great Gf menu, adding new options soon!

UPDATE 4/19/19: Not celiac safe. Ordered the cheesy meatball flatbread and it came back positive for gluten in my Nima sensor. Really upsetting, this used to be my go to restaurant but I’m rethinking that now. Definitely not worth getting sick and it’s odd they don’t have better CC protocols they follow seeing how the owner has celiac disease herself.

ORIGINAL: It’s so great having a place so close to home that’s celiac friendly! They have a separate gluten free menu and the staff is knowledgeable about Celiac disease. I was torn between the pizza and the pasta and meatballs but ended up getting the pasta, it was delicious! They also have GF desserts, I got the strawberry shortcake and enjoyed it! Didn’t get sick so I will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

No

A ton of gluten free options. This is the first place I’ve been able to get an appetizer (breadsticks), an entree (chicken Parmesan sub), and a dessert (chocolate lava cake) all in one spot. I didn’t get sick, so that’s a win. Very pleased!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gf options! Great pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken parm!

Amazing food from a local family! So many options and they are very accommodating. I've gone here many times and never get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Omg gf bread sticks, gluten free meatball sub, gf pizza, breaded chicken and veal parm and 3 gf desserts...need I say more? I am very sensitive and I did not get sick. The staff was so friendly and absolutely educated on celiac. Highly reccomend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly with a very knowledgeable staff. The food and service is outstanding.

NIMA tested the GF pepperoni pizza and chicken parm. Both came positive for gluten. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager. They refunded me the money and apologized. I don’t know If It was a one off mistake or an accident. They said that it’s never happened before. I went based off of good reviews.

We will definitely be back! The pizza was great, and I want to try the meatball sub next time. My new favorite place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service. Variety of gluten free. Owner had celiac, so it's understood. Will be back

I love this place. I have celiac disease and only trust a few places to eat out. Great food and great service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Owners seem to be very knowledgeable about gluten. The flat bread was nice and salad was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were super impressed when we dined at Goombas. Not only was our server extremely knowledgeable - understanding things like a dedicated fryer and different pots for boiling gluten free pasta, but one of the owners actually has celiac disease. This means a fairly sizeable menu with lots of gluten free options. Plus, the gluten free pizza and selection of toppings was incredible. The taste was great, and the portions were large. As locals, we will definitely be going back here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I liked that they offer a gluten free menu as well as yummy gluten free desserts!! I especially enjoyed the strawberry white chocolate short cake!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I spoke to the waiter as well as the owner. Both were very knowledgeable and helpful. I was very excited to eat a gluten free meatball sub on an actual sub roll. My husband ordered the gluten free chicken parm sub and we shared. They were both great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had a nice gluten free menu. Everything was excellent!! The waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. she answered all my questions and assured me that they could accommodate my health needs. The food was excellent and I had no health issues the next day. Will definitely go again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
