Review of Pastoli's Pizza, Pasta & Paisans

October 13, 2023. Still a great place to safely eat GF food. I had a cheese steak and loaded fries. We also grabbed a GF pizza and Italian wedgie to go. Ate then the over the course of the next day at our Pitt tailgate. Read my earlier reviews (below) for more details of their allergy accommodations.

October 29, 2021. Second trip to this pizza shop. I ate the same foods as my first review, see below. I highly recommend this place. Importantly, I DID NOT GET SICK AFTER EATING HERE!!!!

July 3, 2021. The first thing they ask you at the counter is if you have any food allergies. I told them that I had Celiac. They have dedicated kitchen space and a gluten-free fryer for both wings and fries. They do not use "free flour" in the kitchen when tossing regular pizza. They use cornmeal for all pizzas so you know that airborne gluten contamination won't occur. Food was delicious. My wife and I split loaded buffalo fries, a spinach and ricotta pizza with olives and banana peppers, and an Italian wedgie. I will post images of the menu and the food to go with my review.

Importantly, I DID NOT GET SICK AFTER EATING HERE. Can't wait to come back. Highly recommend.
