Totally recommend this place. The gluten free pizza is made separately and tastes delicious. I loved it and didn’t get sick.
Great glutinous and gluten free food Friendly server who double checked with the kitchen regarding my gf questions
The gluten free pizza was amazing! My kids could not even tell the difference! I would come back again!

We were told that the gluten free pizza was kept separately and cooked in another place so it was safe to eat. It was delicious and I also had a mango lemonade which was yummy too.
We were here on a scout troop visit and needed an option for a child with celiac. I used this app and given the reviews on this and on Google we chose to order. The cheese pizza was actually very tasty, it's something we'll keep in mind should we return.
We ate here twice during our stay in DC because it was convenient and everyone could get something they liked. The wait staff knew about cross contamination and were really reassuring and happy to help. We had pizzas, salads and some delicious grilled chicken.
I feel pretty confident that there was little to no cross contamination. They use a separate oven and kitchen space to make the gluten free pizza, I would just specify you have celiac disease/can have no gluten cc to ensure they use that space. Although it was celiac safe, the gluten free pizza did not taste good at all. The dough wasn’t properly cooked and tasted bad.
Amazing pizza! I haven’t been able to pizza in a long time so was so relieved to enjoy the pizza here! The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free items and the atmosphere was cute & fun!
Had a really good experience here! Waiter was knowledgeable when I said that I had celiac and brought up cross contact. Said the pizzas are prepared in a separate area and cooked on their own metal plate so they aren’t coming into contact with any regular pizza crumbs. Lots of fun options for topping, and the pizza was pretty good! VERY thin crust, which I personally like but I know isn’t some people’s preference. Most importantly-I didn’t get sick!
Ella's is a good pizza place. For $2 extra, they have gluten free pizza for any pizza on the menu. Good place to go before a show in the Wallet Arena once block down.
Very good and very safe for celiacs. I had the gluten free pizza and precautions are in place to avoid cross contamination. Plus - the service is very good.
Friendly staff Gluten free base pizza, pasta not gluten free but the pizza was delicious. I am intolerant not coeliac. When I asked for a starter I was directed to the non gluten ones would recommend
Delicious crust! The Manager has Celiac family members so he understands exactly what I need. Super helpful and felt safe!
Pizza was good! I didn’t get sick and the staff was knowledgeable about safety
We love Ella’s and have been eating here for years. The staff is fantastic and several of them have been working there for over 10 years, which is remarkable and almost unheard of in the restaurant business. This clearly tells me they value and take care of their staff.
Good, fresh ingredients. They have gluten free options and take precautions. I’ve been eating their GF pizza since 2012 and never have any issues.
Strongly recommend. Enjoy!
Udi’s crust. Okay pizza but at least I was safe and the rest of my family was happy!
Service was only 4 star but pizza was good and staff was knowledgeable about safety precautions.
Service is ok, waiter check on us once and wasn’t even going to take our plates away before bring pizza expect us to eat off the salad plates. Their food is bland, no flavor has to through lots of stuff to make it taste good. We were disappointed to say the least. Don’t waste your money.
The regular pizzas were very good, and the service was excellent. They have a GF pizza crust, but they really overcooked my daughter's GF pizza, so I don't think they know how to cook it properly. I didn't send it back, though, so I didn't give them a chance to fix it, which I'm sure they would have.
Came on a Monday at 2pm. Terrible service and the pizza wasn’t very good at all. Wouldn’t come back and wouldn’t recommend it to others
GF pizza and many salad options. No reaction from two with celiac. Great sangria and fun atmosphere (I went with my two kids and an old college friend).
I am staying in DC for a volleyball tournament and it's always hard to find gluten free things away from home. Ella's was amazing! Great service and I had no problems with the pizza (I have Celiac). One of the best pizza places I've ever been to!
We are regulars. I appreciate that they offer gluten free pizza crust and vegan cheese since I'm gluten and lactose intolerant. Service is always prompt and friendly!
Gf accommodation was good, including the server recognizing before bringing one of our pizzas that the kitchen made it on a regular crust by accident. Gf pizza crust not very good; mussels portion was tiny. But there is a separate gf menu, and many interesting gf toppings for the pizzas
Located in the heart of Washington, DC's Gallery Place/Chinatown neighborhood, Ella's Wood Fired Pizza is the perfect spot to hang out after a basketball game, hockey match or a concert at the Verizon Center. The Neopolitaninspired menu features a variety of wood fired pizzas, all of which can be made using a glutenfree crust. Try out the Wild Mushroom or the Sausage Pizza. Oh, so good...All of the salads can be prepared gluten-free by simply omitting the croutons. My personal favorite is the Orange & Beet Salad which features an orange-balsamic vinaigrette, arugula & crumbled goat cheese. Check out Ella's for Happy Hour weekdays from 4pm-7pm for amazing drink specials and $5 pizzas!
awful tasting GF pizza, better options in the area. my crust came out under cooked and doughy. pizza overall was flavor less.
They'll make any pizza on a gf crust, which is pretty thin and crackery. I don't know if the crust is vegan (I've never asked, but I'm lactose intolerant and I've never reacted to it). They're quick enough that you can get in & out in an hour lunch break but get pretty crowded for dinner, especially when the Caps are at home. Expect to wait a bit for a table.
