Oregano's

Pizza is unsafe. They told me there’s flour residue on the cooking surface and they put the gf crust directly on it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Oreganos has gluten free pizza that is really good. The waitress made double sure that the pizza is safe since I have a gluten and dairy allergy. The staff is educated, this place is good to come to.

I have a complete ‘love-hate’ relationship with Oreganos. When I found out 4 years ago that I had celiacs I realized very quickly that there are restaurants that there are 3 types of restaurants: those that are accommodating, not accommodating, and those that begrudgingly accommodate the disease. Oreganos is a restaurant that begrudgingly accommodated the disease (and GF fad) by developing a Gluten Friendly menu that included common entrees like salads. I would ask why they never served GF pizza and the answer was “our kitchen isn’t designed to eliminate cross contamination”. Admirable, I agree. So whenever my boyfriend got a hankering for Oreganos I would always order the Caesar salad- no croutons. No big deal. However, about a year ago they started serving GF pizza (prob because of the demand and negative reviews on FB) and I was SO excited that they started doing this. I asked them about their GF pizza and they said that it’s not at all safe for celiacs or those with an intolerance. They put the pizza on the same oven racks with the non-GF pizza (they don’t even use a special pan or oven safe paper) and they make the GF pizza on the same counter tops without cleaning the counters to even ‘try’. I was so disappointed by this ‘half-baked’ attempt to accommodate the growing need for GF foods that I don’t even go here anymore. There are so many better pizza restaurants that cater to celiacs that it’s not even worth trying to pretend that I might have options here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Friendly staff. I got the gluten free menu. Not tons of options, but the pasta dish I did order was really good. I’d love to have seen a bit more variety, but gluten free beggars can’t be choosers I guess. I’ll come back by next time I’m in town.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free here, just ask. Love the pizza and salads.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fun atmosphere but lots of gluten in the air. The kids (not GF) were offered dough balls to play with. I ordered GF pasta from the gf menu but I found a regular noodle in my pasta. It tasted great until then :(.

Glutened off a salad (the tortilla strips) after being told they were safe by guest service via email.

Taylor B. With guest services said the GF pasta is cooked separately & the GF pizza dough has no contact with flour at any point.

The staff said otherwise so I went with a salad to be safe. Half way through my meal they said the tortilla strips on my salad is not safe.

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

The menu is called "gluten friendly" which is scary but a humorous attempt was made. I stuck with a salad to avoid flour cross contamination which is a real possibility here. It was romaine lettuce but since I'm allergic to amaranth (including spinach and chard) they changed gloves before making my salad. How conscientious! Felt safe, didn't get sick.

This place has such a homey feel to it. There is something on the menu that everyone can get and enjoy. That's what I loved about this place even with my daughters allergy she was able to order actual food, and not have to resort to just a salad. She had the gluten free pizza, and absolutely loved it.

NOT CELIAC SAFE!! If I could give zero stars I would, but the app forces at least one star. I got the bollo pasta with GF pasta. It was disgusting, no flavor to the sauce and the noodles were falling apart and had a weird texture. I did not finish the dish as I was experiencing symptoms before I was even halfway thru it.

The waitress initially brought me a regular pasta with garlic bread and was rather irritated about returning it.
