Symptomatic Celiac

Overall Rating

Waitstaff is friendly and very knowledgeable about gluten-free options and cross-contact. In 3+ years neither I nor my Celiac family members have gotten sick. They have a separate kitchen in the lower level to avoid cross-contamination/contact, as well as a gf menu (with desserts) available upon request. Most items can be made gf if requested even if not listed as gf on the menu. Non-celiac friends and family love the quality and flavor of the food too.

One of my favorite restaurants to get dessert in the area. They have a gluten free pizza crust and a gluten free option for sandwiches. The salads are delicious. I have had all of their gluten free deserts multiple times through the years. I even ordered a pan of the GF chocolate peanut butter cake for a party. Although this is a small restaurant with a small kitchen I have never gotten sick from eating here. They have an allergen menu of some sort but the choices are limited on there. I will glance at it but mostly look at their main menu to see if they can make simple substitutions or leave an ingredient out to make a dish GF.

Gluten Free:

Angel Food Cake with fresh strawberries and strawberry sauce

Lemon Raspberry Cake- Lemon cake w/ raspberry sauce, mallow filling topped with white chocolate ganache

Ding a ling Cake**Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

Belle’s Heavenly Chocolate Cake

He pleasantly surprised to find it this restaurant has gluten free options and they take extra care just let them know of your allergy they even have a gluten free menu. But what is more surprising is they actually have gluten free desserts for scrumptious cakes

So far I've only tried the pizza, but it was excellent. Very thin crust, plenty of toppings and cheese, and surprisingly affordable. It's only a 10-inch, but it's worth it to stop in. Also, the staff is well informed and very courteous. Wish I'd tried it sooner!

The GF pizza crust had very good flavor, not the typical cardboard. I had the side salad with a good cucumber dill dressing & the artichoke GF pizza which was excellent! We shared the gF chocolate raspberry mousse cake which was to die for! ❤ The selection of regular & GF dessert options was amazing. All desserts are made onsite by a pastry chef. Never would I have expected to experience such awesome food from the appearance, small size & location of Pesto's. My only complaints were a freezing restroom & weak coffee.

The gluten free sandwich is done with one of their gf pizza crusts and it is super yummy. The coleslaw was too sweet for me and the fries were not gf, but the server let me know. I was very happy.

What a wonderful place. Just a short drive off of the highway, very gluten free aware, and they are able to make a lot of their menu gluten free with various breads that they have. They also have gluten free desserts/cookies. There is the usual warning about potential cross contamination, so your mileage may vary.

This restaurant has gluten free pizza, and they can use the crust to make one of their amazing sandwiches. They also make gluten free desserts, but they are nit made in a dedicated space. Please talk to staff prior to ordering. Our waitress Lisa have always been incredibly helpful. They are very interested in expanding their gluten free menu and are incredibly helpful.
