Good experience here for my highly reactive Celiac son. The waitress said the gf pizzas are cooked in a completely separate oven, gloves are changed etc. They also had gf foccacia bread and some pasta options.

I’m a very sensitive celiac and I’ve never had a problem here. Been eating here for years. One time a waiter warned me the pasta may have a CC risk because the gf and regular pasta pots are close to each other but I’ve never had an issue. If you are worried, order the pizza! I do wish they would add more options to the menu but I’ll take what I can get!

They keep a few items stored in a separate area to prevent cross contamination. I didn’t get sick and the pizza was amazing.

My mom and I are both symptomatic celiacs and we were able to safely eat pasta here. I got penne with pomodoro and she got it with bolognese. It was great and our server was knowledgeable about their protocols for celiac.

Hands down the best GF pizza I've ever had. They even had GF herbed focaccia! Super busy spot, but affordable and fun. All of their GF pizza is made in a separate oven to limit cross contamination. I would make a reservation just because of how busy they get. I cannot recommend this spot enough!

People here are nice they seem to be well educated on gluten and cross-contamination. The food however was not wonderful my pasta came out as if it had been sitting under a lamp for a while. They offer promotion for gluten-free yet they have a free deal with yelp for dessert which they don’t honor for gluten free. This simply pissed me off. I’d say the food is average and in Georgetown there’s other options I do think it’s relatively celiac safe

Really really good gluten free focaccia. Good pizza as well! The waiter was knowledgeable and answered my questions. I felt safe eating here and had several apps and a pizza and some gf bread. Would recommend though it was pricey. Good Georgetown outdoor seating vibe!

Best gluten free pizza I’ve had and no reaction afterwards. I loved the margarita, super fresh. When calling ahead I was told they cook GF pizzas in a separate oven. I also have a nut allergy and they were accommodating for both gluten and nuts.

The waiter has no idea what he was talking about. You could only pick from 3 different bland pizzas. The waiter said “it’s too heavy” when I asked for extra meat toppings. Save your time, don’t come here if you want a GF/DF pizza with anything other than sauce.

This is my go-to for pizza in DC! The crust actually tastes great (I know, shocker) and the ingredients are always fresh- the diavola is my favorite. As an added bonus, I’ve never gotten sick here. I’d 100% recommend to any fellow celiac in the area!

Had a great experience at Il Canale! Waitstaff was very knowledgeable about what was GF. Enjoyed the homemade buffalo mozzarella and tomato salad followed by the margarita pizza with a GF crust. All delicious and zero problems. They also offer GF pasta and other items. Will return soon!

GF pizza, GF pasta. Very good quality. I’ve only had an issue once: I ordered takeout and included a note to avoid cross contamination (I ordered a salad with a side of salmon). When I picked up the order they mentioned they hoped it was okay that my salmon was grilled on the same surface as the bruschetta. I was bummed but grateful they caught it.

Had dinner at il canale last night and it was amazing! It’s always great going to a place that truly understands celiac disease and has the precautions and methods in place to keep you safe! I had the bruschetta with the GF focaccia (there is an up charge for it but completely worth it), the prosciutto and melon, and pizza! They have 3 pizzas on their menu that you can order with no risk of cross contact so I picked one of those. It’s great to be able to find a place where I can safely eat pizza. All around an incredible meal. Thanks il canale! We will be back!

So freakin good and so authentic. The staff is knowledgeable about gluten and other allergies. Ask them about gf options. They can also make gf ciabatta. It doesn’t even taste gluten free- according to my non-celiac boyfriend. Definitely recommend, as it’s a great place for gluten-eaters as well so you can come with friends and not feel guilty!

I got the pasta bolognese- in my opinion the food was just okay. Portion size was okay but not huge. Really good service though and lots of outdoor (unheated) seating. I am a little unsure about their kitchen practices, but I felt fine afterward. It’s not cheap but is one of the more affordable GF options in Georgetown.

The GF pizza was delicious! Close second to our favorite GF pizza in NYC. Pizza size was generous enough to share but yummy enough to eat yourself.
This is a great place to go for celiacs. Knowledge staff. Excellent meal with no worries. Need more places like this.

Great gluten free pizza that is prepared in separate kitchen. Went here the night before the marathon and it had a line out the door. The Italian place next door was empty.

Staff very knowledgeable. My daughter has celiac and she was fine after the pasta.

Group of 9 with 2 celiac and it all went well. Food was super tasty and delicious. Great place to go near canal in Georgetown. Celiac safe.

Been here twice and both times were a treat. Great antipasta and the GF Diavola pizza was terrific. If you can sit outside, great people watching too. Two thumbs up.
Yes
I called in advance and heard from the manager that they have a separate kitchen area for preparing gluten-free dishes, and even a separate oven for gluten-free pizza! As usual, the gf food took a while until it was ready, but it was good and I didn't react. Our waitress still brought us gluten-containing bread to start with, so do make sure to have your wits about you and double-check!
Yes
Friendly service. GF pasta and pizza available. Willing to accommodate other dietary needs
My family of five arrived in the middle of the dinner rush without a reservation. Upon hearing that we were there because I have a child with celiac he made arrangements and seated us outside with no wait. The gf pizza was delicious and no one reacted! The gf pesto pasta was cooked perfectly and once I added much needed salt it was delicious.
Yes
They use a separate prep area for the gf pizza and it’s very delicious! Happy to have eaten gf pizza that didn’t make me sick AND tastes amazing. Will definitely be back!
