The pizza and pasta here are both gluten free but was very sad to visit on Mothers Day and they were out of both. We visit this restaurant frequently and usually have a great experience but was relegated to a chopped salad when I was craving pasta or pizza that day.

Love their gluten free pizza crusts. I am allergic to tomatoes and can get an oil and garlic base. Very tasty.

Ordered the gluten free pasta with Alfredo sauce, broccoli and chicken. The pasta was the worst GF pasta I have tried to date. The sauce, broccoli and chicken were good just the pasta art was not. Update: I definitely got glutened here.

The staff was informed about what celiac was, the GF menu, and precautions they needed to take. I went home and while I am HIGHLY sensitive to gluten, I did have a very slight reaction to my food which I largely contribute to the party I was dining with and the crumbs that worried me from their dishes while I was eating.

The gluten free options tasted pretty good and while there were a lot of options not available to me, I still felt like there was a lot to choose from with good portion sizes.

The food tastes good, the menu is huge, and the staff is very nice!

I ordered the gluten free pasta with marinara sauce and chicken. It was on the gluten free menu. However, even after asking many questions about how they prepared the food, they still managed to cross contaminate it. I'm not even that sensitive for someone with celiac! However, the food itself wasn't bad. My date enjoyed his meal (was not gluten free).

Well, I went because of the Gluten Free menu. We ordered appetizers. Cheese fries, WOW, where's the cheese, melted into the fries in this very thin hard glob keeping the fries stuck together. The Mussels with Marinara sauce was great, we ordered white and red sangria, white was ok, red was not Sangria, just red with fruit. the GF pizza was no better than Dominos and I think they use the same crust. came not cut properly and I had to struggle to cut the darn thing before I could eat it. Had ham that seemed to be ham for sandwiches cut up, good pepperoni and black olives and red sauce and cheese ok but not cooked on top thoroughly. The other pizza was chicken, onions and ham, practically no red sauce. It was soggy, disappointing. The server was harried, with too many tables, couldn't see us often enough. She tried to make us satisfied, really tried! But overall it was a disappointing visit with the exception of the mussels. Sadly, the owner of the 4 restaurants was on site and cooking and was the source of the disappointment. Too Bad. I may come back again to try the Gluten Free ravioli but it was an expensive bill so I won't rush back at this point.

May be worth a try but may not be. Hard to tell

I'm visiting from Pensacola, Florida so Norfolk is like gluten free heaven. Y Not Pizza is so much better than Mellow Mushroom gluten free pizza. I love it. They even have gluten free ravioli, I hadn't had ravioli in YEARS, it was so exciting and yummy. I plan to eat there at least 1 more time before I leave. I also don't think the price is too bad compared to Dominoes and Mellow Mushroom. This is a much better pizza for the same price.

Love the gluten free pizza though it's very expensive...and they don't do substitutions...I take off the meats but they want to charge extra for spinach..or an extra veggie as well as I don't get pizza sauce but want to charge extra for a little olive oil...

Way overpriced for tiny amounts and the pizza I had really was not any different than a cheap frozen pizza I could heat up at home. Staff was friendly, but for a celiac it's too pricey for bad quality. I won't go back if I can avoid it.

I was very nervous to eat here but had a great experience. Be sure to ask lots of questions they are very accommodating. I got the GF pizza with cheese and the garlic base. They prepare the dough in a separate facility as well as having a separate area to cook it. The meat and veggies are cross contaminated. But they will prep you new ingredients if asked. They also have sealed gf brownies from a popular brand that are very good. Everyone was super nice and they were very knowledgeable about cross contamination. I’d definitely give it a try!

No cross contamination measures taken. Everything is contaminated by pizza flour which is airborne and highly glutinous. This is not at all a safe place for those with celiac disease. Literally no pizza place is safe. Most will tell you that it not safe for celiac. Gluten-free foes not equal celiac safe.

Wonderful place to safely dine when you are gluten free. Gluten free items well marked on menu and lots of great choices. Employees are trained in safe food prep. We eat at the Great Neck location regularly.
