La Bella Napoli Pizzeria

This place is NOT Celiac safe, at least as far as the pizza is concerned. While the manager/wait staff made made every effort to make sure we knew they had a separate area for prepping the GF pizza and a separate paddle for removing it from the oven, it goes into the same exact oven in the same exact spot as the pizza containing wheat. Gluten does not 'cook off' of surfaces. Why bother cleaning everything, using a different prep area and washing hands and utensils if you are going to throw it right into a vat of baked gluten? I asked if they could at least put parchment paper down-nope. Cross contamination possibility is high so instead of pizza, my Celiac 'chose' to have pasta. They did boil new water and her tomato sauce was good. She said it was very good, both in taste and texture and she felt fine afterwards, perhaps full because even from a kids meal, it was a huge portion. I appreciate the efforts made with the pizza, but it's all for nothing if it gets cooked in an oven full of flour.

If I'd eaten the GF pizza crust here, without knowing it was GF, I never would've guessed-soooo good!! Italian style pizza, wood-fired, and delicious! I didn't ask whether all their meats and such are GF, but they also have vegetarian or simple veggie and cheese options. I've had ALOT of bad GF pizza crusts, so finding a good one is a treat-this is the best yet....Totally worth the visit!

Hands down the best gluten free pizza I have ever had! Any pizza on the menu can be made on a GF crust for a very small fee. The dough is made in house and is not only delicious but actually makes a full size pizza, not like other establishments that charge more for half the size.I had the Chef pizza and the La Bella salad and could taste the freshness in every ingredient. After ordering the owner came out to let me know that my pizza would take a bit longer but only because they would take the time to clean everything before cooking. My non-GF husband and mother both had the "all you can eat" pizza lunch special which also came with a salad. This was no typical buffet-style pizza. A whole fresh pizza was served at the table and as soon as the pizza was gone, a new one appeared in front of us. I'm guessing it was good... aside from the occasional grunt or "mmmmm" noise I didn't hear much out of my husband for the next half hour.Our service was wonderful and we plan on visiting again sooner than later. The owner was great to chat with and he must have visited our table three or four times to check in on us.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
