I've had the gf pizza here many many times, no issues at all. Best gf pizza ever!
I've been to both locations (as well as their related restaurant in Casper, WY), and while these don't have dedicated kitchens, they do have dedicated ovens, prep areas, and toppings. They have the best Neapolitan style GF pizza I've had outside Italy. I love stopping by here when we're in Denver!
Visited the Littleton location about a month ago; I'm late to getting a review in. They take GF seriously. Kitchen area has two sides, one of them for GF prep and the other for the rest. Separate pizza ovens. The menu is casual, with extensive GF offerings. Even a GF beer or two available, though the labeling on the bottle was somewhat suspect; assess your risk accordingly. I asked our server about the management's commitment to GF, and she said the restaurant, which has been around a while, has GF roots going all the way to the beginning.
I had one of the GF pizzas, and was very impressed. A sturdy, crunchy crust and excellent toppings. Took half of it home in a box, and it warmed up nicely a couple days later in the oven.
Fun atmosphere with ample outdoor seating.

Fan freaking tastic! This is one of the best GF pizzas I’ve ever had. It’s crispy and delicious without falling apart. The toppings are fantastic too. It’s even great reheated. Only downside was the GF beer is gluten removed and not safe for celiac. They do have wine, seltzer and a full bar though
Safe place for separately prepared and yummy authentic Italian GF pizza!! Just make sure to enjoy every bite because you don’t want to plan on eating the leftovers the next day unfortunately -that’s the only disappointment honestly. And they’ll parbake for takeout so you grab it early on your way home and then warm it up and finish it off when you’re ready to eat. And the baked eggplant rolls are delicious!!
Love this place! Best GF pizza around and they have amazing soups as well!
One of the best gluten free pizza crusts I've ever tasted. Love this location, over the ballpark location.
I am usually hesitant when looking for gf pizza but I can assure you that this place is very safe! I started to go to this place because finding gf pizza that was safe from cross contamination is very hard. But at this restaurant the staff are knowledgeable about gf and can make sure that everything is made gluten free for you if you request. The pizzas are marked with a little stick when they come out to you. I would say this place is definitely 5 stars!!!
Marco's is my go to for gluten free pizza! Pizza is always delicious and safe! Their balsamic dressing is also top notch!! Highly recommend!
YUM! Great gf pizza crust and they made me a Caesar salad with no croutons. Friendly staff.
This place is the real deal. I was a little nervous when I heard they offered gf pizza but I’ve been back 3 times and have not had any reactions. Absolutely unbelievable how good it is and best of all it is gf.
So delicious! They import gluten-removed wheat flour from Italy to make their GF dough. I was a little skeptical at first, but Italy requires GF goods to be tested to verify less than 4 micrograms gluten per Liter; that standard is 5 times stricter than US standards for GF testing. I gave it a try and I’m so glad I did! Amazing, delicious gluten-free pizza 😋🍕 not suitable for someone with a wheat allergy, though!
Best pizza ever!! Tasted 100% real would actully never know. The focaccia bread is flat but taste amazing!!
So good!! Had the pizza and the focaccia. Highly recommend.
Amazing pizza and I didn’t get sick. I rarely eat pizza in the US because I have been contaminated so many times. Separate prep area. Super yummy I believe they use gf wheat starch so not safe for wheat allergy
WOW! This place has definitely delivered! I was excited to try the focaccia bread and the GF margarita with buffala mozzarella. The bread was cooked all the way, even to the middle! Which is hard to know using a brick oven. That takes skill. I would 1000% recommend this place!
Sooooo amazing!!! Best GF pizza I’ve ever had. GF focaccia was to die for with the spinach and artichoke dip. Will definitely be back.
Some of the best gluten free options we’ve ever had at a pizza place. Wonderful food!
Best GF Pizza Ever!!! I ate nearly the whole thing and still managed to feel light afterwards and go straight hiking, no bloat.
We never go out for pizza but I felt very comfortable eating here after reading their gluten free process on their website. We ordered the gf focaccia bread (seemed like just a seasoned pizza crust but very good) a margarita pizza, and the vodka pie. All amazing and did not feel sick at all.
Had the GF pizza, house salad with dressing and GF focaccia for lunch. Everything tasted great (my non-GF sister couldn’t tell the difference) and I had no reaction after eating there. Staff was knowledgeable and when food came out it was identified as GF. They marked my ticket as Celiac and said they would use a separate area, wipe down the area, wash their hands and change gloves.i felt very safe eating there. Highly recommend!
Wow! The gf pizza was so good, actually Delicious!!! The price was a little high, but it was worth it and we'll be back! 💗💗💗
Oh my heavens. This is just amazing! I can’t explain how amazing the food was and how much I wish I could have a restaurant like this at home.
FANTASTIC pizza, didn’t get glutened! I got the gf focaccia bread, and the Sicilia pizza. All of their specialty pizzas can be made gf and the menu mentions they use a dedicated gf pizza oven! Everything gf came out with a wooden gf flag. It was an amazing wonderful experience!
Another reviewer mentioned this pizza being a religious experience. I second that. Best pizza I’ve had in 12 years. I bought one to take home one the plane in a freezer bag. The best part was the crust at the end of the slice. I’d eat just the dough. So much yum!
I am gluten intolerant and have eaten here a lot without ever getting sick. My favorite place to get pizza!
Lived up to the hype!!!! Had an amazing gf pizza and wings. Chef has celiac so they go to great lengths to prevent cross contamination. Highly recommend!
Absolutely fantastic!!!! Got the GF Focaccia and Margherita pizza! Cooked in dedicated grill! Amazing! Def got to get the GF Nutella pizza so delish!
Somewhat new to celiacs but so far this was the best gluten free pizza. Dedicated oven for all gluten free.
This is, hands down, the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had. I've had Celiac Disease for 20 years. Others have told me the gf crust is better than the regular. I highly recommend
Safe food!! Gluten free bread and pizza were amazing. Best pizza I’ve had in Colorado. ****Beware: there is a 4% surcharge on all tickets because the owners don’t want to pay BOH a decent wage.
Michael was a very attentive staff member who established food allergies and sensitivities up front. He asked intelligent questions, and was very attentive.
The food is excellent! GF pizza, wings, ciabatta bread are all clearly marked on the menu. Will definitely return.
ordered online and order was perfect! GF items were clearly marked. When i asked the waiter if they were sure it was GF, he said yes and showed me the Gf markings. I had no bad reaction whatsoever and the GF pizza and focaccia were amazing.
Best gluten free pizza! I have had celiac disease for 12 years. It was amazing!
Marco’s was truly amazing! The staff was so kind and knowledgeable about the gluten free. I told my server that I had a gluten allergy and immediately she said that all the meals would be marked with a little wood stick! The focaccia was so squishy and yummy! I didn’t get sick and would go back in a heartbeat!
The focaccia bread is outstanding so fresh and warm. They have many gf options like wings pizza and bread. Also there is desserts.
Sensitive celiac and I did great! No problems except I ate a lot. One pizza was enough to fill both of us and it was great. They changed gloves and went to a separate area. Even cooked in a separate oven. It wasn’t busy when I was there so it was lovely. We hit happy hour. The focaccia is just pizza crust so skip that and get the wings for an appetizer. The pizza was fricken fantastic!
It’s like playing roulette. One month I won’t get sick , next month I will. I have no problem stating my celiac needs and asking questions. If you are a sensitive celiac, be careful.
From their website:
Made Fresh, by hand In-House Every Day Using Antico Mulino Caputo’s Fiore Glut Gluten Free Flour. Made with Gluten-free wheat starch, buckwheat flour, rice starch and vegetable fibers. Cooked in Dedicated Equipment for your safety.
We absolutely love Marco’s, and have been coming here for years! We have celiac and feel very at ease here. All the research I’ve done on wheat starch vs wheat flour completely reassures me. So for us, Marco’s is always a favorite!!
This is our new go to for gluten free pizza. My husband and I are both biopsy diagnosed celiacs. We were concerned about a prior review so we asked for the manager to ask some questions. He explained that there is a separate prep area for making the gluten free pizza dough, and for prepping the gluten free pizzas and a separate pizza oven just for GF pizzas. He also brought out the gluten free flour blend they use for the dough for me to review the ingredients. It is made in Italy and it clearly states Gluten Free, and contains wheat STARCH, not wheat flour. I’ve done my homework on wheat starch, and on GF items made in Italy. Wheat starch, if properly derived, contains no gluten. Italian GF products are held to higher standards than GF products here in the US. We decided to go for it. If we were going to react we would have sometime the next day. We did not react. I highly recommend Marco’s Coal Fired Pizza for GF Pizza. Just be sure to order it GF!
NOT a true gluten free crust. They use WHEAT flour. So all y’all saying you felt fine might wanna reassess if you’re actually celiac. Don’t tell people here you’re celiac if u haven’t been diagnosed!!! True celiacs should NOT have wheat starch, even ones that claim to be gluten free
Had the GF pizza. Crust is quite good. I didn’t have any issues. Pizza always make me nervous.
ordered simple gf pizza - crust is really good and cooked in a totally separate area in the kitchen, to ensure as little cross contamination as possible.
second time eating at this location and no issues! all their custom pizzas can be made gf.
Staff was very helpful. Has a separate oven for gluten free. Food was wonderful
We had several dishes and they were all amazing. My husband (non-gf) actually preferred the GF pizza! Eggplant rollatini and the roasted vegetable salad were delicious. We will definitely go back!
It was fantastic! Great food, very knowledgeable and filling. Go when they’re having their specials during the day!
This place. Omg. Just had some pizza and focaccia bread and limoncello chicken wings last night. Holy crap. The best gf pizza I’ve ever had
