Giuseppe's Pizzeria & Ristorante

Same as the other recent reviews. They used to cook the pizza in a separate area downstairs, but during the summer months, they do not. They cook the “gluten free” pasta in the same water as the other pasta. Not celiac safe!

My daughter (celiac) got very sick eating here. The waitress suggested that the GF pizza likely wasn’t safe due to risk for cross contamination. We ordered the GF pasta instead and she became very sick within 30 minutes of eating. It’s too bad because there are not a lot of GF options for pasta/pizza in the area.

Definitely not safe for celiac or likely anyone with a sensitivity. I called to inquire about the gluten free pizza and was told, like in many restaurants, that there is likely flour in the air and that there were shared baking surfaces. I then asked if the gf pasta would be a better option and the person on the phone replied that it was definitely safer. Fast forward- they boil the pasta in the same water as the regular pasta!!! Thank goodness my family member asked when they called in the order. They even refused to cook it in separate water. When I called later to try to sort things out I was told that this was the first time anyone has ever complained about this because "they were sure that everything boiled off." Absolutely unacceptable.

Used to be the best gf pizza but they changed their crust and now it’s horrible. Sadly won’t be eating that again.

Ordered pizza here and am giving a five star review because I did not get sick which is great, but I would rate the taste of the pizza itself as a 2.5 in comparison to other GF pizzas.

The gluten free pizza was amazing. But I do not think they used a separate knife as I found pepperoni on my pizza near the slices and I did not order pepperoni. I was also very sick for a few days afterwards.

I went here when I was first diagnosed with celiac about 6 years ago but hadn’t come back since, I’m so glad I did! There are great pizza and pasta options and I loved getting a pizza that’s wasn’t just thin crust. One of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve had for sure.

We are visiting the area and needed a place to feed our hungry, gluten free family. We searched through this app and after going to two other places, one was an outdoor bar so not kid friendly and the other was closed, we called this place from the parking lot. AJ let me know they do have gf pizza and pasta. He asked if I had a reservation. I said no but I was in the parking lot with hungry kids. He put me on hold for a few minutes then came back to say he had a table available for us. We let Ashley, our server, know we were gf and she asked about other allergies. Said she would notify the back of our allergies (yes, I know celiac isn't an allergy but allergy is what people understand). The gf pizza was delicious with a flavor able crust. Even my picky kid liked it. I tasted it and it was pretty good. I had gf fettuccine Alfredo and it was sooooo delicious and creamy. Usually I react within an hour of having gluten and so far, (2.5 hours) I haven't had any symptoms. The customer service was outstanding! The location is in an area with other shops and restaurants with walking path and view of the lake and a man-made waterfall. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Server was incredibly helpful and we felt very confident that the food was gluten free. The pizza crust was thin but not overcooked/burnt like a lot of other gf pizza tends to be. Pizza came out on separate trays to prevent cooking directly on contaminated surfaces. The gf pasta was also good and a large selection of the pasta menu has gf options. The receipt clearly had gluten allergy marked on all of our items and I felt very confident that this establishment takes gluten allergies very seriously.

The best homemade gluten-free pizza around the lake region! The only place I will consider for pizza.

The staff is very accommodating. Their pollo Alfredo florentine is out of this world and it’s only Alfredo sauce I've had since finding out I have celiac. They did mention their pizza isn’t celiac friendly but the other things can be made safely

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best Pizza!!! I was really excited when I saw the other reviews and I have to admit this was the best pizza...really homemade pizza and there small pizza was actually a large for us Celiac’s. Will definitely come back!!!❤Thank you!!!!

We have had GF Pasta with red sauce several time. Always good meal.

Celiac friendly?

The restaurant had gluten free pasta and pizza and the staff was very knowledgeable about celiac. The pizza dough was from a local GF bakery. Super yummy and crisp.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Gf pizza here was amazing! I got mushrooms and black olives on it and it was delicious!!!! Probably the best gf pizza that I've had since being diagnosed with celiac.

Pizza was good staff understood safety of food. Call ahead on weekends to minimize wait. Walking distance from docks. Family fave!

Would really love to give this restaurant 5 stars. The venue was fantastic and the food was delicious. Our server was also really nice. Unfortunately my family and I waited on our food for an hour after being seated (keeping two small children entertained the whole time). Even worse I became very ill after eating the pizza. Couldn't recommend it to sensitive Celiacs.

delicious gf pasta (I got it with the greek oils and cheese sauce), and can't wait to try the pizza. Not too many menu options, but it's always nice to get a free safe salad with your meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free pasta and pizza delish!!!

Excellent pasta!
