Incredible celiac safe food and great service.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had great service and wonderful experience. But I am celiac and was assured that the gluten free pizza would not have be cross contaminated. Sadly, they were wrong. I got really sick. Apparently this location does not have a separate oven even though it is advertised in the menu. I am so disappointed, I thought I found my new spot! :(

Awesome food, great service, and no gluten! Who could ask for more? Highly recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Was in town for a conference. This place is all I ate for dinner for the 4 days I was here. Never got sick, and the food is delicious 😋

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pizza was absolutely delicious. Great service. Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue, and I'm almost ashamed I didn't get to it until now. But I'm writing it right before we plan to go back, it was so memorable. We visited the Cactus Rd location a couple of months ago and had a fantastic time! Our server, Kale, was one of the best servers we've had at ANY restaurant. And that's saying a lot - we're middle aged and we eat out a LOT. So we've got a lot of experience and not always that easy to please. But we were certainly pleased with Picazzo's, not just because of the remarkably great service from Kale (more on that later) but also because of the food quality, particularly for gluten-free. I know, I know, when you eat gluten-free or gluten-friendly, you're always qualifying your opinion with "this was really good for a gluten-free version of X." But at Picazzo's the food really IS that good, and you don't need the qualifier. My wife has the gluten allergy, I don't, and I had no complaints whatsoever. I specifically remember the cheese focaccia was really good. Didn't fall apart, didn't crumble, really tasted great. And the turkey meatballs were also excellent. We didn't even try the pizza, but it looked great. I had the eggplant Parmesan and it was excellent. I mean, there are a TON of gf options at this place, and everything we did have was great. Since we're planning another visit to Phoenix, no way we're missing Picazzo's again. It was THAT good. A significant part of our positive experience was the service delivered by Kale. He has a great personality, very friendly and approachable. He did all the mechanical things skillfully - acknowledged us quickly, got our drinks (and by the way he's a great bartender because I had one of the mixed drinks, the Prickly Pear Margarita), timed our meal perfectly by giving us enough time to enjoy the appetizers before ordering the main dish, checked on us to see how we were doing - but more than just the mechanics of serving, he brought an art to it. I'm serious, there is just something about this guy, Kale, that brings serving to another level. It was easy and pleasant to engage with him. He had great menu knowledge, and made good recommendations. He seemed to enjoy what he's doing, and it shows in the quality of service he delivers. Picazzo's has a winning formula, that's all I know. This is a restaurant where you can not only enjoy great food, excellent service, and even have lots of great gluten-free options. How could you not like it?

Super safe and incredibly tasty! They have GF wings, croutons, and a variety of desserts. There are so many GF options. My son and I love this place. We’ve visited three different locations numerous times and have never been disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything on the menu is gluten free except they do offer regular wheat flour pizza. I love this place!

Lots of very tasty gluten free options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was fantastic and the service was great! Whole restaurant is gluten free and also caters to other allergies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Reliably good food and consistently gluten-free. Service a bit slow, and I was stunned to over hear that this “GF restaurant” only has one GF oven. I guess the demand for their traditional pizza has trumped their GF pizzas resulting in super slow service for GF oven items. Seems like they need to add an oven. Anyway, good food, so plan for a long wait for your order. It’ll be worth it! The garlic cheese focaccia is AMAZING.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free. Fresh organic, and very good!

Great food, gluten free by default. The staff is knowledgeable, guick, friendly and courteous.

Friendly staff ....Great attention to gluten free. Lots of choices and yummy.

Celiac friendly?

Wow! I found heaven for GF people! I can’t recommend highly enough. Everything is GF unless you order the pizza specifically with wheat. we had lasagna with sweet potatoes and focaccia bread, chicken parm with noodles, beets and focaccia bread, a side salad, a pizza cookie with coconut ice cream. We had leftovers for two whole meals. I’ve previously had pizza and cocktails which was also very good. Had a whole vegan menu as well. Amazing!

The food was amazing, and is celiac safe!

Celiac friendly?

Don’t hesitate to try. Great food and safe!

Wonderful gf and df pizza! Lots of delicious options besides pizza as well.

Celiac friendly?

Wonderful, interesting menu where everything is gluten free! Friendly informed servers. Easy to give this restaurant 5 stars and to see why it is Phoenix top rated GF business.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My only complaint is that this app doesn’t offer ten stars! This place is off the charts good!!!

This restaurant makes eating, organic, gluten free food a stellar culinary experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The whole menu is gluten free! We had cheese bread, pizzas and pastas and they were SO good! We couldn’t believe it was all GF! Staff was very knowledgeable on the menu and very helpful. They have vegan and dairy free options as well! Our kids loved it and are begging to back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place. They are my family’s go to place for gatherings as I’m celiac and my sister is vegan. I found them 10 years ago when first diagnosed and never looked back. Management and staff are extremely friendly and remember their regulars well. If I could I’d eat there weekly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely amazing. Friendly staff and great food. Prices are a little high but it is 100% worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My 16 year old sons reaction to the entire menu being gluten free was priceless. Good food, good service, and I definitely had peace of mind knowing my son would not get sick. We will go back next time we’re in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Accommodated my celiacs and severe soy allergy amazingly! I had an excellent pizza!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So delicious! It's such a treat to be able to pick from so many tasty options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING!!!!! We were in Phoenix for 2 1/2 days and we ate here twice because it was so good. They do offer non-gf pizzas, but other than that, the entire menu is gluten free. And they are very accommodating for dairy allergies as well. The Bigoli pasta was cooked perfectly. Best pasta I've had. The desserts were great and could easily be dairy free as well. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZINGGGGG!!! Love this place! Food was delicious, menu is fantastic, staff are great! Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I enjoyed their delicious gluten free chicken parmesan...with their house made gluten free foccacia bread! I ordered wine but noticed gluten free beer on the menu. My friends & I shared a yummy gluten free brownie which was served in a small cast iron skillet with a small side of ice cream...enough for 3 of us. I love having so many choices @ Picazzo's and can't wait for their new location to open, which will be closer to me, at 83rd Ave & Union Hills.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love love love this place! Never got sick and I’ve to this place more than 10 times! My favorite restaurant in Phoenix!

My favorite restaurant in Phoenix! I don't have to ask for GF options because it's almost the entire menu! Love the lemonade.

Everything is gluten free except 2 menu items. Gluten free without worries. Ate in the Phoenix and Sedona restaurants. Great atmosphere and great food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful selections and AWESOME food!

Not a lot of flavor, gave me the WORST heartburn :/

A large variety (everything except able to choose Non GF crust for Pizza) of GF dishes The meatballs were cold and they were slow but friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Garlic cheese bread is great. Tiramisu is awesome. 99% of the menu is gf.

Celiac friendly?

AMAZING food! always get the wings, pizza. and cookie for dessert

Celiac friendly?

Safe and delicious. The server/service could not have been better.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My wife & I went for dinner, she is celiac, but we both follow a Pescatarian Gluten Free diet. Picazzo's was what I believe heaven would be like for celiac's. Everything on the menu is gluten free, except they make regular pizzas in a separate oven. Wonderful!! We will be back, before we leave AZ.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

just terrific! My GF husband was in shock from being able to order anything on the menu. We were visiting in phoenix and ate here twice. He had pizza one time and pasts with salad with gf crutons the other. the crust was pretty typical for gf. the foccacia was excellent. I could eat that kale quinoa bowl 3x a week so yummy. the only thing "wrong" is they haven't come east to Raleigh.....

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have tried so many options on the menu and have always been so pleased with the quality of the food and the combinations of flavors. This place is a celiac's dream, I almost cried the first time my friend introduced me to it for my birthday!

absolutely love them Always by the groupons when they're available because it saves quite a bit of money as they are on the middle to high range in price but that is because they are entirely gluten free and make almost everything you could want so to pay their bills must be I can't even imagine honestly but they are fantastic they are part of the delivery system as well third party delivery system and they include everything from Pizza to pasta freshly made 2 bread to even Asian dishes like a pad thai or a burger or a salad and it's all gluten free and some of that is even dairy-free or vegan or vegetarian friendly they are incredibly customizable and Catering two allergy needs

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I first tried this place in Sedona and finally tried another location. Delicious, friendly servers, mostly glutenfree menu. Tons of vegan options. No vegan tax for subbing vegan chicken (Beyond Meat) for flesh chicken. I'm disappointed in the poor accessibility of the location. The handicap parking (a whopping 2 spaces) is halfway down the strip mall, and the sidewalk up to the front door is very steep. The inside is crowded with tables and chairs (some of which are tall tables/chairs).

Love this place! Incredible pizza and salads are so fresh and yummy. Kinda pricey but very worth it to know I won't be sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious. Everyone agreed the pizza crust was just a great crust regardless of being gluten free. Accomodating for dairy free is very easy as well. Great atmosphere and service. The cocktail menu was very interesting and fresh. Certainly a place to visit again!

A must everything is gluten free !!! Apple crisp , chicken parmigiana.....

Celiac friendly?

Yes

celiacs, eat here! excellent food and great friendly service. they will explain why they are gf. ravioli on the menu! and they also have regular crust pizza for the non-celiacs that go with you!

Tons of options. The GF pizza and garlic bread were good but very thick dough. The caeser salad was good with GF croutons and lots of fresh parmesan. The only non gluten free item is the original organic pizza. A little pricey

So I was surprised to find out that they only had a couple things on the menu that weren't gluten free. I was so happy to be able to eat gluten and dairy free pizza here! What a treat! I also got GF vegan cheese bread. My sister is vegan and they had lots of options for her too.

I could anything on the menu. Excellent

All gf, easy to do gf, too. This is my second Pizarro's visit in the last 3 days. Amazing! Wish there was one near me. Great food! Focaccia and brie app. Sangira. Linguine and turkey meatballs. All terrific. Reservations for parties of 6 or more. This place makes me feel so safe... I just might fly in to eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

best meal of my life. we had cheesy bread which was the first gluten free bread i’ve had and it was really good! it has a sort of corn bread and regular bread mixed texture. I also had lasagna and my non gluten free boyfriend had chicken parm and he also said it was one of his favorite meals ever! the whole place is gluten free besides one pizza crust that they make in a different oven. they asked if i had any allergies or celiac. so nice to go to a place where i can chose anything on the menu and feel safe eating!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything gf. 5 stars just for feeling safe! The cannoloni with spinach was lovely. My husband was able to sub vegan cheese on his chicken parmesan. We had an app of vegan cheese bread. So nice to be able to have a "fun" appetizer. In general, the flavors of our food did not "pop'", but I would not go so far as to say bland. I would definitely go back and continue to explore the menu. They did offer regular pizza crust, which my daughter got for her margarita pizza and enjoyed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food is great! The baked wings and spinach artichoke dip are the way to go for appetizers!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many options. I can only wish that we had something like this close to home! Having several GF desserts to choose from was great—the apple crisp was definitely a highlight. Did the meatball appetizer and the fresh basil made the dish. We split the vortex pizza and I loved the toppings; the crust was a little crumbly however. Only wish we were here longer to try again!

Delicious lunch! Had a gf slice and salad. So nice to feel safe and have an enjoyable meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious! Dined at this location several times during my stay in Scottsdale. Loved the salads, the pizza and the desserts! OMG! Favs were fig and Gorgonzola pizza and tiramisu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Stopped here for lunch and was so excited to see all the choices.Almost everything was gluten free. Had the Mac ‘n cheese and Italian salad and both were delicious. What a treat!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow amazing food and so many great options. The staff shared best he liked and even brought me some bread for side to enjoy. Hope to come visit to go again.

I love Picasso's but this location is very slow. They seem unorganized and my order was wrong. I get waiting for good food but this was ridiculous

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were in town visiting family and ate here. I’ve got 4 young kiddos and I have celiac. This place was AMAZING! We were all able to enjoy the amazing food and I did not have to worry one bit about getting gluten in my food. My husband has a really good curry dish and I had a phenomenal Alfredo pasta dish. What a treat to splurge on carbs. Well worth the visit.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely wonderful service and exquisite food

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing!!! You can eat anything on the menu!!! And it’s delicious!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many things for my son to choose from, he was so happy. Everything was delicious too. One note--while almost everything on the menu is gluten free (they do have some beer) the one food item they have that is NOT gluten free is regular pizza crust--and for some reason they kind of assumed when we were talking about what we wanted to order they thought we wanted to order the wheat pizza! That would have been a disaster, so make sure you specify the gluten free pizza crust (and they have two, one is cauliflower). Wouldn't have known we needed to say that at a 'gluten free' restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost everything there is gluten free. So amazing to have all the options, food was delicious, never been so full.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent GF options. Pizza was delicious. Busy place for dinner so allow a little extra time. Worth the wait!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

For someone with celiac, I had all but given up on soft cheesy or dipping bread and today I was proven wrong! Great service, great gluten free awareness and amazing options

The place where pizza is art.......gluten free white pizza ....ricotta and mozzarella and basil... crust was awesome. They kn9w how to do gluten free... lots of options. Friendly staff....

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Outstanding gluten free menu!!! Everything is safe. No worries about cross contamination. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome, and great variety! Ate a few meals (lunch and dinner) here with my celiac husband (very sensitive) this week. All delicious and no reaction. He had buffalo baked wings, cheese bread, traditional side salad, apple & walnut Gorgonzola salad, chicken bacon & herbs pizza on gf crust (separate gf pizza oven), linguini and meatballs, Tuscan chicken breast, and hot apple crisp with vanilla gelato & coconut ice cream. So so good! Worthwhile! We were late arriving one evening due to a long hike so ordered takeout... good call because there was a long line there that night.

A lot of gf options. Just not all that great and pretty pricey for what it is. They do have dairy free cheese. Lots of low gluten beers, which is a bummer because there are so many actually gluten free options out there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It’s so refreshing to see a place where hubby can swallow most of the menu without any issues for cross contamination or being glutened. He ordered the GF pizza which is made in a separate oven. The quality is great and emerge pizza flavor is really good. I ordered a white bean and kale soup and it was really good. We also had the cheese bread which is to die for. Highly recommended

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! Staff extremely knowledgeable and go out of their way to explain the main and dedicated prep area. The first thing they ask you is if you have any allergies they should be aware of. Food is amazing, I have been several times and will definitely go back often. Oh and the cauliflower pizza crust is incredible.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Always go the extra mile. Food is amazing! Always expanding the menu. GF Mac n cheese-yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is GF (except for one pizza crust option, clearly labeled)! They have a Vegan menu as well, so plenty of options for gluten and dairy free guests. Amazing food, and no issues with cross contamination. It’s almost hard to believe it’s GF!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their cauliflower pizza is AMAZING!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic. We had lunch and all food was delicious. GF all the menu. Pasta great

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Take out GF pizza was delicious! Staff is very Celiac knowledgeable and have their own separate oven for gluten free items!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We love their GF pasta dishes for the kids. But their GF pizza is not good, too thick and too little sauce and cheese.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is celiac friendly is because As long you tell him you have an allergy it safe to eat :)

This place was amazing! The entire menu is Gluten Free. I had spinach cannelloni- it was delicious.

Great menu for GF , pizza was so good also the GF garlic bread

It was amazing! We had cheese bread, pizza and Chicken Parmesan. It was wonderful being able to order anything off the menu. It all tasted so good I was concerned I was going to sick, but I didn’t!

Unbelievable! Practically everything on the menu was gluten free! I had meatballs for an appetizer which were yummy and pizza for the meal. Pizza was great too! Desert menu is GF as well with 4 choices of tiramisu, cheesecake, cookie w/ice cream or apple crisp w/ice cream! I had the apple crisp with coconut ice cream, yum!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is incredible! Staff is great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So nice to have a place that my wife and son can eat great food like the rest of the population! Great flavors and great options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING. Separate kitchen for GF. They even have gluten free croutons!! A must try!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Oh my goodness, all the rave reviews are true! I kept skipping over this place in the results list because it just looked like an ad. The chicken, bacon & herbs pizza was flat-out AMAZING! We went back two or three more times in less than a week. There is quite a lot to choose from - but when I selected something different on a subsequent visit, although it was good - I still went back to my fave - the chicken, bacon & herbs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a nice feeling to have focaccia bread and have someone else cook me gluten free pizza. The BBQ chicken pizza is better than CPK!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is the first place I ate out at after getting the celiac diagnosis. I have been a number of times and have never had a bad time. Staff is amazing and friendly. On multiple occasions I have had the GF chicken bbq pizza. Their lunch specials are great too. My non-GF boyfriend loves this place as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is extremely knowledgeable about celiac and contamination. It’s literally the only restaurant I feel safe eating at in the Phoenix area. Unfortunately, they’ve made some changes in the last few months, and it’s not as great as it used to be. They did away with the large GF pizza, which was part of what made me feel “normal” eating here. Now they only have small pizzas, the crust is doughier than it used to be, and it’s very expensive. The appetizers are smaller too (4 meatballs? For $11?)... it’s like portions shrank and price tags inflated. I don’t like that they’re catering to fad dieters more than they used to (the new menus clearly marked everything “keto friendly” but I had to request a special vegan menu to more clearly understand what’s dairy and egg free?), but I’ve NEVER been glutened here, so that’s good at least.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu is very close to being completely GF. They really should just get rid of the regular pizza and be done with it, haha. Anyway, DH (celiac) did not have any issue and the food is very good. Delicious pizza crust - and they offer a cauliflower version if that's your thing. A little on the pricey side, but not bad for Sedona. EXCELLENT service. Speedy and accurate. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was soo amazing!! Great place to go for people with celiac, really enjoyable!

Didn’t get sick. Go for the pasta. The pizza isn’t good. Kale salad was yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a find!!! We would eat here all the time if this was in our town!!!
