Picazzo's Healthy Italian Kitchen

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Omg! This place is amazing for those with gluten free allergies and other allergies. The first thing we were asked was if there were any allergies at the table tonight. After telling the waiter that I had celiac, he proudly shared that I was in luck because everything was gluten free— score! My son and I split the lasagna. It was fantastic! My non-GF (picky eater) husband had chicken wings tossed in bbq maple. He really enjoyed those. We also ordered some baked cheese, which was super tasty! Whether you have allergies or not, I don’t think anyone will leave disappointed in this place. They use high quality ingredients and make from scratch food. We will visit Picazzo’s the next time we are in Phoenix!

My go too restaurant especially for happy hour

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We ate here twice during our 5 day trip to Phoenix. Such a great find!! Our only disappointment was they ran out of ravioli both times. Non-Celiac husband says the lasagna is the best he’s ever had! Everything we tried was really good. Be sure to save room for dessert. Tiramisu is absolutely phenomenal. So nice to find a go-to restaurant that’s delicious and safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have an excellent selection of gf items! They make an in house gf pizza crust and flat bread. I’m a big fan of their happy hour items all gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome food and great service!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food is delicious, excellent customer service. One of the few places I can eat and totally feel safe that I won’t get sick.

Good pasta skimpy on the sauces so just as for extra sauce so it's not dry.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was great and the food was Amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place to eat safe! Wings are excellent, and so is the pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my go to safe restaurant in the Phoenix area. The mac and cheese is to die for.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The best pizza and the truffle Mac and cheese was wonderful! We will be regulars here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing menu. Food as it should be....but without gluten. Have gone back several times. Entire family enjoys it and I’m the only GF one. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Just need more locations. One near Ray Road and Signal Butte would be great. ;-)

We're from Illinois, so we went by other's reviews & we were not disappointed! It's a safe haven for celiacs & Anthony is the best waiter ever! Thank you!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love Picazzos!!! Totally GF and Celiac friendly! And their Sangria is to die for!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing to find an entire menu that is GF (other than the pizzas which need to be specified to be GF). Great taste, great service. What more can you ask for. Two years later - came here twice again. This place is GF heaven!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

amaaaaaazing!!! pasta, salads and pizza all gluten free

This place is amazing! So many choices to accommodate gf and df, even have an amazing gf beer! Wish I had something like this closer to my home.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

5 stars all the way! Really great place for gluten free options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So delicious! Peace of mind when eating. Great service!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It is so wonderful to eat in a dedicated GF restaurant. I haven't experienced that degree of heaven before now. Add in the fact that the food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, and you have my Number One reason to move to Phoenix. The Foccacia bread is insanely delicious. I could come here and just have the half loaf order plus a glass of white wine at their very nicely priced Happy Hour and be superbly happy. But one must eat a balanced meal- and there's nothing on this terrific menu that would harm a Gf gal. I must be GF and dairy free, and I had lots of delicious choices. So happy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots and lots of gf options, great awareness. But food was just ok and found it overpriced.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Unreal. Love these folks.

We really enjoyed our dinner. I had had the gluten-free pizza. The crust was good, but a bit fluffy and the cauliflower Alfredo was excellent. Apple walnut salad-was good. We ordered the focaccia, I would not call it for focaccia, but just sliced bread it had no herbs and not flat like focaccia. I would come back though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome restaurant for those with celiac. Almost everything is GF and they are very clear about what is not. Great selection of food and drinks.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing GF food. Almost everything is GF. A few years back they had both GF pasta and regular. They got so good at GF that they just do all GF now. The folks that don’t need to eat GF are just as satisfied(they can’t tell). We travel all over the country and this is by far our favorite place for GF variety and taste!! The Scottsdale and Sedona one’s are also good. We eat here two or three times a year when we are in AZ, probably 30 times over the years, and have never been disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The BBQ chicken pizza was delicious! Most of the menu is gf. Our server, Luke was very nice and very knowledgeable. Great options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing place and soooo many options!

Spendy, but delicious.

Wonderful menu. Had dedicated GF pizza oven. Pretty much everything is GF & yet can get nonGF pizzas too. Prices reasonable. Definitely would return if in area

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have eaten here several times. My son has celiac and we are very nervous about eating out. We have had no issues here. It's one of our "go to" places.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing GF place with oodles of options - pasta, pizza, great entrees, salads, appetizers. It's a chain, so check for other locations that could be closer to you if needed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were visiting Phoenix and heard about Picazzo. Their menu is mainly GF, dedicated GF pizza oven. Everything we ordered was delicious and safely prepared since there is very little gluten in the kitchen. Great kids menu too. Where else can you get cheesy bread as an app and Gf cheese raviolis?!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We are visiting Phoenix on vacation. We brought our gf family of 4 and could not have been happier! An extensive fully gf menu wow! Our orders were as follows. Pesto ravioli, thai peanut pasta, children's ravioli, and BBQ pizza as well as appetizer of Baked brie and half order of gf focaccia. Amazing! Go you won't be sorry!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent meal! Almost everything on the menu is gluten free. Very allergy friendly. They even have fresh gluten free pasta!

I used to eat here when we lived in the area 5+ years ago. So happy that it's basically the same still. Just better! Amazing food and no reaction. I love being able to eat "real" foods like pasta dishes, desserts, and more. I highly recommend any Picazzo's location!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Last month I visited and enjoyed an organic, gluten-free pizza at the Flagstaff location. Yesterday, I found myself in the Valley and couldn't resist giving the Tempe/Chandler kitchen a try. FANTASTICO! The entire experience was top-notch . . . from ordering to eating to chatting with staff to leaving with a happy belly. A little more topping would have been welcome, but all-in-all the pizza was delicious and filled with guilt-free ingredients. Yet, what made my experience exceptional was the service. The staff made me feel like a king. They were friendly and attentive, without being intrusive and seemed sincere when they asked, "Do you like your pie, Sir?" I had a nice chat with the waitstaff about eating organic and choosing cool toys for toddlers, then I left with a happy belly. I give Picazzo's Organic Italian Kitchen a short, but savory recommendation, and I look forward to my next trip to this location. Note: I'm a professional reviewer for other services and products, but this one is a freebie. I really enjoyed eating here and simply had to write a piccolo (I think this means little).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gf restaurant chain in area. Love the one in Scottsdale. Went to chandlers locale with family. Service might have been the worst I have ever experienced. Lost my reservation (twice) and once seated, food took an hour to arrive. Desert took another 30 minutes after ordering. Managed was miffed when experience was shared.

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

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

Incredible celiac safe food and great service.

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?

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! :(

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pizza was absolutely delicious. Great service. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

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?

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

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

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

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.

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!

Lots of very tasty gluten free options.

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

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

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

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!

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!!!

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They understand Celiac Disease and their menu is almost entirely gluten free. I have CD and have dined in several of their locations with zero problems. Their pizzas are more gourmet rather than what you would find at most pizza places. Good variety of enjoyable pizzas. Also a good, gluten free selection of gluten free pastas.

Awesome chicken parmesan. The lasagna looked good. GF cheese bread is tasty.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Feels good to order from a place and not have to worry if it has been cross contaminated. Everything we had was great!
