Review of Marco’s Coal-Fired | Englewood

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!
