Matzaluna The Italian Kitchen

We chose this place based off reviews. The guy answering the phone was short and snappy, we ordered a pick up order, and got it in the stated time frame. We ordered 1 GF pepperoni pizza and 1 GF pizza Angelo- pepperoni, sausage, 4 cheeses. Do not go here if you are hungry. We lifted the boxes and thought they felt light. Totinos frozen pizzas are larger. I took a picture by my hand, and I have tiny hands. They taste ok. Nothing to really brag about, definitely NOT worth 15 bucks!

Definitely enjoy this place, and the fact that they have a gf menu! Just be careful, this most recent time I went, I got my pizza and it looks eerily like my wife’s (who’s not gf). I asked and they checked. Turned out the pizza guy got it wrong and mixed my pizza and my mother-In-laws up. They were knowledgeable, but that mistake could have been an issue.

Service was great. We had the best waitress, very helpful ensuring everything was safe for me. When bread basket was brought I asked if they had any GF bread and she said no but they could heat a GF pizza crust for me to dip in the olive oil and herbs and brought me my own plate of dipping oil. Grilled chicken parmesan was great and a very large portion served with side of GF spagetti. GF pizza was also very good. Also have GF key lime pie and it was great as well.

Staff knowledgeable- lots of offerings for GF. Since daughter is dairy free less offerings but waitress was willing to accommodate. Ask for GF pasta boiled separately. You can pick your sauce - selected bolenase. No dairy in it. Waitress offered gluten free bread when we had gluten bread. Ordered salad. Waitress brought both balsamic Vinaigrette and sun dried vinaigrette. She asked the cook about dairy and Gf. The GF entre served first and had a different color plate. She made my CD daughter feel included. No issues. Considered pizza with no cheese but decided it could be too high a risk due to shared oven. There is a key lime GF pie for dessert! Passed since daughter doesn’t like key lime (don’t know if it’s dairy free). Would go again

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They make pasta and bread so I’m sure cross contamination is possible for the truly sensitive celiac. However, there is a gluten free menu including GF pastas and zoodles among other items. They are very nice and the food is delicious. I’m sure if you tell them you are celiac and need the pasta boiled in its own water (not what regular pasta was boiled in) they would do it. I had zoodles with bolonese, salad with ranch dressing. There were no croutons on the salad. Tables outside to enjoy the fresh air. Delish! Enjoy.

There is a sufficient amount of gluten free items to chose from. GF pasta, soup, salad, some appetizers and GF pizza crust.

I couldn’t change some options on this review. I would say quite a bit of Gf options are available. I recommend this place and would go again.

Other Characteristics

• Good for takeout

Gluten free menu available, choices are pizza, pasta or chicken dishes. I had a chicken dish because I didn’t feel too safe with the cross contamination in the pizza oven. My dish was a little bland but good. Would recommend if you want Italian.

GF menu - staff was trained to address food allergies. GF pasta was very good.

Excellent food and great service. Found the restaurant off this app!

Good: They have a gluten-free menu with different options for Pizza, Pasta, Salads

Not so good: Quality of meals varying. Gluten-free Pizzas were tasty, but very small. We guess 7 inch.

Most important: Our 2 daughters stood healty. So the food was 100 % gluten-free.

Had dinner here for our 10th Anniversary. The food is excellent. I loved our waitress, she gave me wonderful suggestions. Will definitely be visiting again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, wide ranging italian menu, awesome staff, and seemed very careful with GF for our celiac daughter. Prep'd separately and served on different colored plates as a signal to wait staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free personal pizzas- we shared three- a margarita, a caprese and a sausage and peppers. All of which were crispy and delicious. We also shared stuffed mushrooms which were crumbled sausage and super cheesy!! They were very knowledgeable and fast. Definitely recommend. Call ahead seating too.

Great, diverse menu. Everyone loved the pizza.

GF menu (prominently posted on their website, which always inspires confidence). GF pizza with an excellent crust that rivals a normal crust (served on a uniquely colored plate to avoid confusion). Very good pizza topping choices. Pizza is cooked in wood fired oven (the combination of a thin crust and wood fire produces a crispy texture than is rarely found Gluten Free). GF key lime pie may be available but not on the menu. Nice atmosphere. Great choice for GF Italian food. I love their pizza, but they also have excellent GF pasta, chicken, shrimp, beef, and catch of the day. Others in party always love the non-GF food. I have dined here often over the last three years and have never had a reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten free menu and even have gf pizza that they cook on top of a metal plate, so it doesn’t get cross contaminated from the pizza oven. Lots of options, knowledgeable staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waiter was knowledgeable, offered gluten pizza crust for bread to dip in oil. Pasta was very good

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable and accommodating. I had the chicken Bancarella, but with GF pasta instead of mashed potatoes. My husband had the lasagna and son had pizza (both NOT GF). No issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So happy to see yet another restaurant on the island with an actual GF menu and not just a "we can prepare selected items GF." My teen daughter had the spaghetti noodles with pesto and artichokes and I created my own dish using spaghetti noodles (only GF pasta) with spicy red pepper sauce and sausage. The Caesar salad was also fabulous. We ordered the artichoke and 5-cheese pizza to go (for following beach day) and that didn't disappoint either. Oh, and we shared a GF key lime pie! Wasn't the best I've had, but it was a nice island treat. Staff was knowledgable and friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My daughter had the GF Shrimp Scampi which she really liked. Portions are very large and entrees come with salad. They have GF Spaghetti - make your own pasta where you can pick from different sauces and add a protein. (But our daughter wanted the scampi). Other people non-GF opted for the make your own pasta.

We very much enjoyed our dinner here. Service (we had Jason) was great, food came out very fast, food was tasty and we were all stuffed due to the large portion size.

Prices were really reasonable, there is also a huge drink and wine menu and Atmosphere was very nice. There was a wood burning pizza oven as well. We did not try the pizza but I would inquire if the GF pizza is made in a pan.

Definitely a good place for GF Dining!

Great GF options! We ordered the salad, GF Angelo pizza and the GF chicken cacciatore. Both were the best we have ever eaten! Can't wait to go back! The GF 7 " pizza with a salad was more than I could eat so I shared with my hubby and we still had 2 pieces left over. If you'd like bread with your salad just ask for a GF cheese pizza less the cheese and then ask for the garlic oil with herbs to dip it in! But be careful it is So addictive!

My daughter has Celiac and this place was great! Knowledgeable staff and separate GF menu. Very tasty options. Will visit here again when we are back in FL.

Celiac friendly?

Excellent dinner; food was delivered to table and employee noticed the pasta was NOT gfree. He immediately took it back to the kitchen. Close call but very delicious.

Delicious food and totally separate gluten free menu. Had the chicken cacciatore with gluten-free spaghetti and it was excellent. No gluten free bread but was able to get the cooked pizza crust. It was delicious dipped in the olive oil with herbs. Nice to have something to eat while my partner was eAting bread!

The best gf pizza Margarita I've had in over a year!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ok pizza - cooked on a separate pan.

The pizza was tasty. I did not have a reaction. One small part of the crust was burnt.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Decent options for gluten free. Not many for dairy free or rice free. Over priced, even for gluten free but they seemed to take decent precautions for prep.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First off, the waiter and staff were very knowledgeable and well trained. I said I was gluten free and started off with a ceasar salad, and she said she would use separate utensils and wouldn't add croutons, without me asking which was nice. Then I ordered a pizza with sausage and pepperoni, and I was worried because its only 7 inches. But it was perfect, and definitely filled me up! The crust was so "real" that I had to confirm it was gluten free! Hours later and no reaction so I know it was. I ended with key lime pie which had a gf crust! Needless to say, highly recommend

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service and wonderful food! Best gluten free pasta and pizza we've ever had. The staff seemed very knowledge about gluten and double checked with us if they had any concerns.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great options for GF menu! They had plenty of dishes to chose from and my son and I really enjoyed the pizza. We will definitely come back here again! Great job Matzaluna on your GF menu!!

Great gluten free pizza and pasta. Service was fast and friendly, and we really appreciate the GF menu.

Pretty decent gluten free pizza, very small (7" in diameter). I appreciate that they have the gluten free option.

Gluten free pizza is amazing.
