The gf pizza is great—very flavorful. There are two gf crusts—the original and cauliflower. I always eat the meaty, meaty on the original crust.Delicious! The salads with gf croutons are also very good. We’ve been to the ones in Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert and Sedona. Consistently great meals.
OMG YALL HAVE TO GO HERE. Best gluten free focaccia I have had everrrrrr. Almost everything can be made gluten free. I recommend not eating all day if you are going here to save room for all this delicious food.
It’s wonderful being able to go to a place. We’re almost everything is gluten-free. The bread is amazing, and the pasta is great. I’ve enjoyed the pizza, too. I’m not a big fan of the quinoa bowls, but that’s only because I’m not a big fan of quinoa.

Always an amazing experience here! Everything except the regular pizza crust is GF and they have a dedicated pizza oven for their GF crusts! Truly the best GF pizza I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot).
Amazing atmosphere, plenty of safe gluten free options for food, drinks, and dessert! Very knowledgeable staff. We ate here twice on our trip to Scottsdale and we will be back!
All gluten free pasta and gluten free pizza in a dedicated oven.
Nothing on the menu that I could have sounded good. Lots of cheese and garlic, which I can’t have. My sister got a cocktail and chicken piccata.she is struggling to cut it. My salad, which I chose so carefully to avoid garlic, is smothered in red onions. It’s all I can smell.
The cheese bread was great, the Mac & cheese was really good as well. Large portions. Slightly expensive but 99% of the restaurant is gluten free. Our server was very kind & informative. No reaction!
Overall, food was pretty good. Lost stars for lack of kids food and not great service. Almost entire menu is GF, dedicated pizza oven (another oven for gluten pizzas), only serves GF pasta. One of my celiac kiddos didn’t eat anything as the first meal wasn’t great and then by the time they brought out the replacement (after a reminder), she wasn’t hungry anymore and we were all done. Probably would do take out for the pizzas or adults only.
99% of the menu is gluten free for celiacs! Absolutely amazing variety. Our server was not very friendly and gave minimal GF info. The food was pretty good, but a little overpriced. Overall a good, not outstanding, experience.
This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The quinoa bowl is the best thing ever, salads, pasta, pizza. You can’t go wrong. And don’t forget to have the gf cookie w/ coconut ice cream for dessert! Yummm!!
Good food. All GF (pasta, apps, salads, pizza crusts) except pizza crusts that contain gluten by request. Dedicated GF pizza oven. When I called to ask about prep, they were a little confused given everything is gluten free (with one exception). We ate there multiple times and did not get sick.
Almost entirely gf menu. Lots of options. Pretty restaurant in a cute area. Cheesy bread was dreamy. Honestly, everything was tasty.
What a surprise to find a gluten-free restaurant that isn’t your typical small establishment with questionable food results. I had the gluten free Chicken Parmesan with pasta and green beans. My husband had a (non-GF) pizza. In this place, all the food is GF except for the non-GF pizza crust which is baked in a separate pizza oven.
We had salad/pizza and salad/pasta lunch combos which were both excellent. You would not know the pasta was gluten free! The focaccia bread was such a treat! They have a separate wood-fired pizza oven for gluten free pizza
Stopped in for lunch and glad we did. They have a lunch special w a slice of pizza and soup or salad. Opted for the tomato soup. The slice was huge as was the bowl of soup. We could have shared one lunch special.
Everything was excellent. And, everything is gf. They do offer non-gf pizza they cook in a separate oven, but idk why they bother. Their GF pizza is some of the best I've had.
Gf lasagna and chicken picatta with noodles and delicious. Even our Italian salad was served with gf croutons. So relieving!
Everything is gluten free! If you want pizza with gluten, it’s a special order.
Enjoyed nibbles of baked chicken wings and the spinach artichoke dip. Brought take out to nephew of chicken Parmesan and he said if we didn’t tell him it was gf, he wouldn’t have known. It was that good! Will be back our next visit!
I went to Picazzos two times while on vacation. The food was pretty good. The Pizza was okay while the pasta was AMAZING. They have plenty of options and have a high amount of knowledge about celiac which was great for me. The workers were friendly and seemed like they enjoyed their job.
We revolve our vacations around coming here. Absolutely perfect and have never had an issue with our Celiac kids eating at Picazzos
Great restaurant where nearly everything is gluten free (they even wear shirts that say it!). Food tastes amazing and portions are good sized.
While the cheese bread and broccolini were fantastic, the GF pizza left something to be desired. The dough wasn’t risen and quite flavorless. Quite a disappointment after such flavorful garlic bread. My recommendation? Give the cauliflower crust a try, because the regular GF crust is šš¼
Everything was amazing! We had cheese bread and the artichoke dip. Best artichoke dip I've ever had. I had Caesar salad and chicken parm. Caesar dressing was sooooo good. Chicken parm was enough for 3 meals. My husband got gf pizza. It was very good. He's leery of gf food but loved everything! Service was great. Even the t-shirts the servers wear were about being gf!
We went for late lunch, food was excellent. My GF/DF wife had chicken parm for the first time in many years with no issues. I enjoyed pizza while minimizing salt and was very pleased. Would return.
We love this place! My husband and I both have celiac and we have never gotten sick from eating here. Lots of options for vegan as well as an amazing GF menu. I love the Zo’s salad and tomato soup. My husband enjoyed the baked vegan chicken penne. Very knowledgeable staff, great service and wonderful food. They have several locations and we have enjoyed 4 of them thus far and we will be back when visiting Phoenix!
Everything we tried was amazing! (Pizza, pastas, meatballs, quinoa bowl, cheese bread appetizers). There were so many great options and the service was wonderful too!
I have been going here for years with my GF family and the food is always great. It is our favorite restaurant in town. The only thing that has gluten there is the “original crust”. They need to change the name of it though, to avoid confusion.
Great gluten free menu items! I got the chicken parmesan dinner and it was amazing
I got a choose your own pizza with the original gluten free crust and it was delicious! I even had to double check that the crust was gluten free! The staff was great and there were many different options for gluten free pizzas.

We visit Scottsdale at least once a year and we always eat at Picazzo’s at least once, usually twice. The food is delicious and I’ve never had a bad reaction. My favorites are the lasagna and the pesto ravioli, items I can’t usually get anywhere else. Although they do offer regular pizza, everything else on the menu is gluten-free. Picazzo’s is my favorite Scottsdale restaurant.
we have been customers here for 11 years now, and our son with celiac has been fine, until last year when he became extremely ill from gluten--twice. maybe there has been a change in management because there is an obvious problem with prep in the kitchen. we always emphasize the fact that our son has celiac when placing orders and ask that the food be prepared safely and to wear fresh gloves. very disappointing as this was our favorite restaurant
The food here does not disappoint. I had the Mac and cheese and it was heaven. This visit we had sub par service as they only had one server for the whole place. But with a little patience and understanding we had a delicious safe meal.
The cheese bread, chicken parm and linguine and meatballs were excellent! We’re in Scottsdale for spring break and wish we had this restaurant in Chicago.

Amazing food & 100% safe for a celiac! My celiac son loved the gluten free pepperoni pizza.
Dedicated GF
There is one type of pizza that is not gluten-free but other than that the entire restaurant is! Very happy for the staff! Lots of options
Amazing!!!! It’s been a really long time since I’ve had gluten free chicken Parmesan- it was delicious. So was the Mac and cheese my wife had abs we loved the gf cheese bread
Dedicated GF
Wow! Great menu options and fantastic flavors!!! So thrilled to eat at this restaurant! I’m definitely coming back tomorrow!

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.
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.
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
Take out GF pizza was delicious! Staff is very Celiac knowledgeable and have their own separate oven for gluten free items!
We love their GF pasta dishes for the kids. But their GF pizza is not good, too thick and too little sauce and cheese.

Our favorite GF restaurant to visit when in the Phoenix area! Wish they would franchise š

We had Mama’s meat-za balls, chicken parmesan, chicken piccata, baked rigatoni, and the hot apple crisp with the DF coconut gelato. The meatballs were good, but not great and the focaccia tasted more like plan bread, everything else was outstanding! I love chicken piccata and this one is very flavorful, without being too heavy. My husband kept raving about how good the Italian sausage was in the baked rigatoni. The entire menu (except one pizza dough) is GF! They have an allergen app online, so I was able to determine exactly what was safe for me to eat ahead of time. https://m.nutritionix.com/picazzos/portal
Wow! Wood fired gluten free pizza with a dedicated oven for gf! They have 2 options for gf crusts which they make themselves. I chose the regular gluten free crust over the gf cauliflower crust. I’m assuming the one I had was made from rice. It was GOOD however not the best gf pizza crust I’ve ever had. If I were to eat there again I would definitely try the cauliflower crust. They also offer regular (gluten) crusts which are prepped and cooked separately from the gf pizzas. My husband thought it was great and he is partial lol at about pizza!
My FAVORITE place to eat. I am a sensitive celiac and haven’t ever gotten sick. I always tell them to mark it allergy even though I think they treat ever gluten free order like an allergy. I have eaten there so many times because it is soooo yummy
Amazing we went twice during our visit! The menu is almost all GF with proper precautions. They have GF focaccia bread! We’ve had the GF cheese bread, turkey meatballs and pizza, salads. They use a separate oven for the Pizza.
