Cute and very cultural place to eat! I felt like I was in Italy. The food was amazing and best pizza I’ve ever had GF. The Caesar salad with GF croutons was a first for me and so yummy, not to mention the yummy Italian pastry dessert. I’m coming again next time I’m in town. GF has its own kitchen!! Our Lucas was so friendly and the chef comes around to every table greeting people. The culture here is fantastic!
This place is incredible! Best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had. They even have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen!
Amazing! This is the 3rd time we have visited. This time with our daughter-in- law who has Celiac. The food is outstanding and their attention to truly gluten free is wonderful. The service also is above and beyond!

The sandwiches are not marked gluten free anywhere on the menu but if you request it they can make it for you!

Great pizza, even my gluten eating husband was impressed. They told us they had a completely gluten free 2nd kitchen. I wish I lived closer!
If you are looking for gluten free pizza with a soft and fluffy crust, this is your place. If you have a chance to dine here, do it- they have tons of gluten free options that are hard to find anywhere else and they are all delicious. And in their new location, they have a dedicated gluten free station. While the menu prices are a little expensive, this is definitely a must try.
Separate kitchen for gluten free food, and it was delicious! Service was amazing; our server Felipe was a delight. Highly recommend!
New location with dedicated prep area! Cannot recommend enough! The best gf pizza, pasta and bread I’ve ever had. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Celiac-safe. Great desserts, specifically the lava cake. We bought a loaf of the bread to go - definitely a must-try! Nice outdoor dining area as well.
Everything about this restaurant was fantastic, including the food, the service, and the way they have the kitchen separated for cooking/frying those items with gluten separate from the gluten-free foods. I will definitely return if I’m in the area again.
Chef and staff are so friendly.
Amazing freshly made gluten free bread was brought to us upon arriving once they knew about the allergy.
I had a delicious freshly made dinner including lentil soup and gluten free gnocchi.
The chef totally understands safe gluten free as his wife has celiac.
He has separate everything for gluten free.
Several desserts are safe for gluten free. Tiramisu was so good!
My server brought me a glass of champagne at the end of my meal.
Great dinner!
EXCELLENT! Separate kitchen, knowledgeable staff and incredible food. Most of the desserts are gf and the tiramisu is delicious!!
Pizza strepitosa e personale preparato e gentile
Excellent pizza and Italian restaurant with a great understanding of celiac and they even have a dedicated kitchen that is signed and visible from the dining room.
This place made our trip to Florida unforgettable!!!. Never, ever, had a better GF pizza. Thanks to Andre who gave us an amazing service experience.
The best GF pizza I have ever had outside of Italy. The warm GF bread they serve is amazing as well. So many options for GF, even desserts. New favorite!!!
GO HERE!! This place is AMAZING. the chef is the sweetest man. So many GF options and they have an entire gluten free station separate from their regular kitchen where you can watch him make your food. Calzones weren’t on the menu but I asked if it was possible and he made me one on the spot!!! They even have to-go boxes specially labeled gluten free and normal. And all desserts are gluten free! It’s amazing
This place is a celiacs dream! They initially asked if anyone had allergies which I really appreciated. All the food was amazing and the options for gluten free were so inclusive. I had a gluten free beer, calamari, pasta bolognese and had to try two desserts: the tiramisu and pasticciotto. On top of great food, the service was also awesome! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and really spoke to my midwestern heart. Our main waitress was Loredana and she was so sweet. What a great little place we got to enjoy on our stop in Ft Lauderdale.
Probably one of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had. And I didn't get sick at all, staff seemed very knowledgeable.
GF gnocchi and pizza were incredible! The most amazing GF meal we’ve ever had!
AMAZING! We both got a GF calzone and they are big enough to make two meals out of each one. My husband ordered his with vegan cheese. We had the lava cake for dessert and it was excellent, as well!
They have GF beer, fried calamari and bread. A definite must try if you’re in the area!
I had such a great experience here. They had a lot of gluten free options on the menu, and were great about preventing cross-contamination. We got the GF bruschetta for our appetizer, and I got the GF gnocchi for my main course. The gnocchi was delicious! We finished off with their GF tiramisu, which was also exquisite. The service was great too! We will be back!
The most delicious GF meal ever!!! This place was hard to find hidden in a plaza but worth it! They make the most delicious GF bread I have ever tasted! The pasta carbonara was fantastic & the chocolate lava cake was to die for! Don’t miss it!!! I am taking 3 loaves of bread home with me to MA!!! 😍😋🍝🍞🥖
It’s gets better and better each time I visit. New location. Amazing staff. Gluten free separate kitchen area. Vegan options too. Fantastic.
This place is beautiful and they have dedicated gf kitchen space. Gf bread basket was tasty and our meal was delicious. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and accommodating. A little pricey but worth it. We had a lovely night.
I've eaten here twice and there are better pizza places around. The dough is made fresh and good ingredients, I just don't like it as much as everyone else, apparently. Good spot and very safe.
What a great experience! Food was very tasty. The GF calamari is a must try and the pizza was so good. One of the best pizzas I have ever tried. They have a gluten free section to avoid cross contamination. Service was excellent. Super friendly!
Great service and great tasting food. They have a gluten free station. GF calamari was so good. Felt very safe.
This place was amazing! We ate there after a late flight arrival before our cruise the next day. One in our group is celiac, I have a gluten allergy, neither of us got sick. This pizza was truly the only GF pizza we’ve both had that tasted like “normal” pizza. Our husbands are not GF and said it was probably the best pizza they’ve ever had GF or not. Crust was puffy, chewy, incredible, toppings were endless and delicious!! Would definitely recommend this place! Served was well educated, they also had GF beer.
Son has celiac. Great Service! Staff was knowledgeable on gluten free options and cross contamination. Pizza was thicker than your normal gluten free pizza which my son loved. Also has gluten free spaghetti noodle which we can’t ever find. Food was excellent!
I am a consistent customer at this restaurant. I was informed that they will be moving to a new location so their inventory for some items is low. What was really concerning was that they served me a gluten pizza and fortunately I asked before eating it. I’m also sad to report that I still had a gluten reaction typical of cross contamination… Not sure if it’s their afternoon staff or the move but I may reconsider your patronage.
Absolutely phenomenal experience! Staff were knowledgeable and went over all protocols in place which make for a very very very low risk of cross contact like I would say zero percent! They have a different prep area/utensils/toppings that are for GF only. Dont even get me started on the food WOW just wow, it was the best gluten free meal I’ve ever had out since my celiac diagnosis, you would never guess that the pizza I had was gluten free (even I kept questioning it). If you’re in the Fort Lauderdale area, I highly recommend you stop by!!!!
I have never been to a place where I had so many gluten free options including desserts!! Almost everything on their menu had a substitute and it was DELICIOUS!! They even had bread as a startup along side everyone else for me. Truly a wonderful place!
The food was delicious, the service was OK but everything gluten-free was a five dollar up charge, and I mean literally everything. They had a large number of pasta dishes that you could get gluten-free and they used freshwater. All pizzas could come gluten-free as well and were homemade crust. We were also able to grab some gluten-free gelato which was a nice treat.
Let me start by saying the staff were incredible. I appreciate that they had a decent amount of things you could get gluten free. 4 of us dined inside and got a variety of dishes. Sadly all four of us agreed that the taste just wasn’t great. Anything with red sauce was incredibly bland and tart/very acidic at the same time. The 4th persons lasagna came out almost 20 minutes after everyone else was finished eating. Had high hopes with all the 5 star ratings, but the food was super underwhelming. 😕
Ich bin momentan in Florida Miami im Urlaub und bin heute durch Zufall in dem Ort Hollywood gelandet. Habe in der App die Pizzeria Giorgia gefunden. Alles in der Speisekarte war GF gekennzeichnet. Der Kellner kannte sich perfekt aus. Ich ass eine Vorspeise Bruschetta das waren 4 geröstete Toastscheiben mit einer leckeren Käsecreme und Coktailtomaten und mit einer Pesto garniert. Dann eine 32 er Pizza . Ich habe es nicht geschafft alles zu verzehren. Am liebsten hätte ich noch ein Tiramisu probiert aber ich hatte kein Platz mehr . Schade ich würde mir das in Deutschland wünschen.
Dedicated GF
The gluten free bread was outstanding amd is made in house. We had gnocchi and the mushroom pizza both with vegan mozzarella and each was so delicious! Get the tiramisu, just do it! It is the real thing with dairy which I don't normally do and was just fantastic and silky and not too sweet. The staff truly cares about the food and our experience. They explained what ingredients were used to make the gf products ad well as non dairy cheese. I cannot wait to go back!
We spent the day in Hollywood and pick here to enjoy a meal with a friend. there were many options for my wife who has hashimoto’s the food was fantastic!
I would eat here every nite if I could ! The gf pizza is absolutely the best I have ever eaten. It even reheats well . The waiter was so knowledgeable about gluten free!
Went there for a date night, walked in. The overall service we found to be okay. The menu has a lot of GF options. I initially chose gnocchi, but turns out they didn’t have any. Then I chose a the creamy mushroom pasta which only had a few pasta options. I chose penne but got rotini. The food was delicious! But in that back and forth of my GF dish, the kitchen forgot about my husband’s gluten filled dish. It took me forever to flag down a waiter because we were tucked into a corner, hard to get their attention. Husband’s food came after I had finished sloopooooowly eating my food. I liked the tiramisu. It had the flavors I wanted. But there was more cream than the cake which was the best part. I will go back to try some more food. Oh! The bread was delicious and they heavily advertise gluten free options in venue. And have a wide selection of GF pizzas. Didn’t see any signs or menu options for dairy free / vegan.
GF pizza is amazing. I eat here twice while in town. Everything was safe. They care about Celiacs.
Amazing options. My celiac daughters were so excited to eat delicious bread and there was so many options! Felt like I stepped foot in Italy.
I am so amazed at the variety of delicious gluten free options that are offered. From pasta, pizza, dessert, and complimentary gluten free bread. The bread part made me so happy as I haven’t seen that at any restaurant before. Staff are very knowledgeable on how to accommodate guests who must avoid gluten. Highly recommend supporting Gioia Eat!
Pizza was amazing. Brought our gf bread to start and got lava cake for dessert! Waiter was fantastic. Very knowledgeable
The gf pizza was the absolute best pizza I have ever had. The crust did not get soggy, the sauce was tangy and the toppings were fresh and plentiful. I want to go back over and over again. Luckily for my waistline, I cannot.
We love it here. The owner knows all about celiac and the importance of cross contamination. The pizza dough is made in a separate area and the pizza is then baked in a separate wood burning oven. The result is fantastic and there are so many delicious toppings to choose from. The gf fried calamari is also delicious.
Such a wonderful experience at this restaurant. My son and I (both have Celiac) enjoyed their delicious gluten free pizza. It was such a treat. Very knowledgeable about gluten free and safe. The staff were amazing too!!
Very nice experience. Staff was very friendly and felt comfortable eating there with my food allergy.
I am a frequent client, the place and ambience are very good, the chefs and all servers are very kind and supportive, the food is delicious, and completely safe, I am a very sensitive celiac and never had a problem eating there. Highly recommended!
