Picazzo's Healthy Italian Kitchen

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Such a great Gluten Free friendly establishment. I was in such a shock when my brain finally realized their pasta was GF. First restaurant I’ve been to that I could get warm GF bread at dinner and Cheese ravioli. They are Vegan and Vegetarian friendly as well. The staff was super nice. Pricey, but oh so worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious gluten free pizza. Too many good ones to choose from. Had a hard time deciding on just one!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nick the manager was outstanding customer service, personable & knowledgeable. He was so nice. The food was delightful. I'd recommend the bagolini, it's gf turkey meatballs with a bolognese sauce. The flavors were flavorful, and the dish

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Understand cross-contamination. Dedicated GF menu. Food is delicious and not overpriced. This is our first choice for dinner out or takeout pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

i am updating my review to say this place has improved exponentially. i have NEVER been glutened here and they are amazing about allergies and special requests. the servers are friendly and respectful. this restaurant is the reason i don’t completely hate arizona and the only safe place i can eat at in the state.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great variety of foods to pick from that are gf without having to be modified! Server asked about food allergies/issues before placing order with kitchen-didn’t have to make the point. Food was very good and fresh tasting! Great to see gf beers and desserts on menu! Family friendly, neighborhood vibe, modern decor. We will be back!

Excellent gluten free Italian food and desserts. So nice to have a dedicated gluten free restaurant! Didn't have to worry about anything on the menu-what a joy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, great service! Entire menu and restaurant is GF except for a couple of pizzas. They also asked if I have any other food allergies to note on the ticket. It was nice to have a worry-free meal for once!! It is a touch expensive, but a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have eaten at Picazzo’s in Sedona a few times and enjoyed it very much. The Glendale location did not disappoint. I was traveling solo this trip and I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere as I ate my lunch before catching my flight. So many amazing gluten free options!

Gluten-free done delicious....Full menu is gluten-free, Italian favorites like Lasagne Bolognese, Spinach Cannolini and Pizza, all are so flavorful, the pasta is tender and their portions are ample. They do offer some Vegan and I believe DF items as well. This has to be one of our favorites. Our son flies here from MA and this is the first place he wants to visit. If you visit once, you will become a regular too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My new favorite place to eat!! Everything on the menu can be made gf! Including the lobster ravioli!! PLUS they’re knowledgeable AND careful!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gluten free food I’ve ever had! On the expensive side, so can’t go as often as I’d like, but absolutely phenomenal and so exciting to know it won’t make me sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing gluten free restaurant, they do serve gluten pizza made from a separate kitchen. Everything else is GF besides gluten beers. Fantastic flavor and so many options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is incredible. The food is delicious and the service is awesome. As a vegetarian with celiac I find my choices to be limited many places but there were so many options it was uncanny. I will be returning time and time again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food, love the people, great new location. Wish prices weren’t so high or they had specials more often! Having celiac stinks but a place like this makes it okay. I’d eat there more if I didn’t have to break the bank!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was So. Good. They say that 99% of the menu is GF, and the only thing that we can think the remaining 1% would be is the selection of beer (which, by the way, was the only disappointment of the visit -- would have loved to have a better beer selection). It was so refreshing to walk into a restaurant where I didn't have to worry about what I ordered. Homemade noodles? Yum. Baked brie? Fantastic. Tiramisu? Delicious! I remarked to my wife and our server that this was probably the best gluten-free meal I have had since being diagnosed with celiac 9 months ago. We're just here on vacation, but will certainly visit again when we're down here next year!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We love taking our celiac son to Picazzos. He can order freely and enjoy his meal without worry. Really great concept and so glad they are close by.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was incredible!! The food was so delicious and safe. The staff was so knowledgeable! I enjoyed eating here while traveling. I just wish I had one back home in Texas!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’m new to being Celiac, I found out I had Celiac Disease May 2017 about a year ago, it’s been one of the hardest struggles changing my diet. About a year later it’s made improvements I can’t even imagine. I used to be super scared of going out to eat and getting cross contaminated but this restaurant guaranteed no cross contamination will be in my food. Best food and desert ever. EVERYTHING ON THE MENU IS GLUTEN FREE

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So excited to have one in the West valley! Love being able to walk into a restaurant and know I can eat ANYTHING on the menu! Oh and it all good too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great selections - entire menu is gf!!! So awesome to go out and know that my daughter can safely order anything on the menu - desserts included! We had pasta, salads, chicken strips, cheese bread, meatballs, brownies, and a cookie. It was all delicious!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Outstanding! First visit and blown away with how many GF items are available. Pizza crust was amazing! Definitely coming back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We took our daughter to eat here and I will never forget her response. She is 8 years old and when the waitress told her everything on the menu except 2 items is gluten free, my poor girl burst into tears. She has never been able to order whatever she wanted off a menu. She’s never been handed a kids menu and actually gotten to pick from every item on it. The food was delicious and our family will return here often!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was so excited to read that Picazzo's opened up a new location. It is so amazing to go out to eat knowing that we won't get sick from accidentally eating gluten or getting cross-contaminated food all while eating delicious food. My son even forgot that nearly all of the food is gf and when my celiac daughter asked for a bite of his mac and cheese he said no at first because he didn't remember it was gf. Now that's a great compliment! We live in Colorado, but will definitely be dining at the Glendale location whenever we are in town visiting family. Thanks, Picazzo's.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love Picazzo’s and am so thankful for them opening a location in the West Valley!

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.

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

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! :(

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
