Zio's Pizzeria

My daughter has eaten here a few times and not gotten sick. Tonight I ordered a cheese pizza but I ordered it wrong as I meant to order a hamburger. They went to accommodate me. (Yes this was my mistake and when they took the pizza out to add hamburger they forgot to change gloves.) They told me this, I didn’t know that. They made her a new pizza just to be safe!!!

Staff was knowledgeable about GF options. Also have Daiya cheese option.

Well I am sad to say it tasted good but I did not feel good that evening and the next day. I felt weak and my joints were sore with nausea. I am gluten intolerant. I was in bed most of the day. I was supposed to have chicken pesto pizza and we talked about olive oil and pesto. No red sauce. I got the red sauce, so that was weird. I think they mean well and they are knowledgeable when it comes to the actual food, but they need to be knowledgeable in the fact that they cannot prepare their pizzas anywhere in the same area like they need a designated station for gluten-free pizza it doesn’t even need to be big. I will try it again because I am desperate and because they also have cauliflower crust instead of just gluten-free crust and maybe that will be a different experience.

Update warning!!!!

Last night 12/17/22 I ordered 2 gluten free pizzas the crust was different. The crust look fluffy like the dough had gluten. When I questioned the staff about this, the manger said he also was suspicious when it was cooking, but checked with this chef and confirmed it was a New vegan and gluten free crust. I still wasn’t convinced so I used my Nima sensor and it test Positive for Gluten! Manager stated then that their cauliflower crust is gluten-free and offered to remake the pizzas on that crust. Which also test positive for gluten with the Nima sensor.

Please note this is NOT a dedicated free gluten facility. The staff used to mark on your order to use a new cutter. That note was no longer on the receipt. You can still order through an app called slice for pick up or phone ahead.

I ordered a buffalo chicken pizza on gf crust and asked them not to cut it (trying to avoid cross contamination from cutting all the pizzas). The pizza did not look great, pretty sure it was bbq chicken with red sauce on it. They cut it, unevenly, so I tested it with a Nima Gluten Sensor. Gluten Found and the testing lines indicated it was not just cross contamination but lots of gluten. We’ll be taking this off the places to order from list.
