River Edge Pizza Kitchen

Amazing chicken milanese sandwich!!! The breaded chicken tasted fantastic and was seasoned so well. Gluten free bread was great. The owner was nice enough to throw in some chicken noodle soup for me try and it was really good. The owners’ grandchild has Celiac and most things can be made gluten free. Super super good.

16 year old just diagnosed. We live about 5 miles away. So happy we found. Family is very understanding and explain all the ingredients and what they have. They make anything you want gluten free. No convection oven. They take good care of the cross contamination and were totally amazing people. And the food was really delicious. We had gf penne vodka. Taste amazing. No meat. Some dairy.

Had the GF pizza. Perfect. Small. Individual size. Perfect.

Thank you for your warmth and kindness. In this day and age. We all should start to be nicer people.

We. Any wait to come back. Thanks! Francine.

Great food, chicken parm sandwich anyone?!? It’s really good. Buffalo chicken strips perhaps?!? Really good! Pasta and sauce, really good as well. Her two grand kids are Celiac, need I say more? She knows what she’s doing and how to do it. Go eat, drink and rejoice.

Celiac friendly?

I went to this place and there were sooo many available gluten free options example: gluten free rice balls, pizza, meatballs, breaded chicken, French fries and etc.This became our favorite place to eat! But it is very cramped because it is a small place so I wouldn’t sit and eat. ( also I never got sick this is coming from a person with severe celiac)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Update: even tho I haven’t gotten sick from here.. a few weeks ago I ordered two pasta dishes and one chicken fingers dish and all three dishes failed the Nima test :( at least they tried.

Celiac friendly?

No

Basically everything you ever wanted to be gluten free Italian food is here and it actually taste delicious. The owners have celiac grandchildren and are VERY cautious with all their food preperation and cooking. They even have organic gluten free pasta! The bread is to die for if you choose to get a hero. Definitely try out the calamari as well. You really can't go wrong here

Love this place....always visit when travelling up North. Not sure why someone would post not gluten free when that is one of my main choices and River Edge never disappoints. A must try.

Not gluten free. No dedicated fryer. They use the same oven and tools for the pizza.

Celiac friendly?

No

Amazing food and options. They pretty much made anything we wanted and everything came out great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best cheese steak sandwich! Amazing bread. Get the cheesy garlic bread too!

The food is excellent, the owners are friendly and knowledgeable, and the GF options are plentiful and delicious.

The owners are very understanding when it comes to food restrictions. They take preparing gluten free meals very seriously and they are completely aware of the severity of celiac disease. They even asked us right away if we were gluten free.

The menu clearly states what meals can be made GF and there's a great deal of GF options available. You don't have worry about cross contamination here!

I had the GF garlic bread and GF eggplant parm and they were both delicious!

10/10 would recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The GF pizza was great and the GF meatballs were the best I've had! Not the mention the owners, they were so friendly and helpful. They have family who's celiac so they really care about what and who they serve.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We stopped here on the way home from vacation, and I was so happy we did. The owners were really friendly and have grandchildren who are celiac and lactose intolerant. They made me feel super comfortable. The meatball Parmesan sandwich was delicious! Definitely stop here if you have the chance.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was great, unfortunately we arrived when they were out of GF ravioli. Pizza was tasty

Celiac friendly?

Yes

BEST BEST BEST gluten free chicken parm, rice balls, hero’s and pastas!! I’m am always so happy I could cry after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve been here twice. The owners have grandchildren who have celiac so they were very knowledgeable. The eggplant rollitini and the garlic bread are a MUST. The pizza was very good and it is the best Italian food I’ve had in the area. Very good!! (Just a heads up that the woman may seem a little snappy and odd. But I’ve always had good service by being polite & concise. It’s definitely worth the food!)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful staff, grandchildren have celiac and are dairy free so they totally understand. Great local business, if in the area will come again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The BEST Italian food I’ve had. My family enjoyed the gluten free and gluten-filled food equally. I had a meatball parm hero, rice balls, and fried shrimp... what?!?!! So awesome! I even got another order to take home with me. I will absolutely be back. Owners were incredibly friendly and a pleasure to talk to.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here is wonderful. I have a gluten allergy and this is some of the BEST Gluten Free Pizza I’ve ever had. The owner of the restaurant also gave me free rice balls which were also delicious. The service can’t be beat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost everything on the menu had a GF option! Their margarita pizza was amazing, and the owners were so sweet and knowledgeable about Celiac. What a nice experience!

This place is a shithole. I walked in as a new customer and asked if the food was safe for my celiac son. An old man behind the counter was so rude and nasty and was completely annoyed that I asked the question. I have a right to question the staff in a restaurant to make sure food I'm paying for is safe. Absolutely disgusting attitude and place looked dirty too.

Celiac friendly?

No

so great to find an Italian restaurant that knows how to make good, flavorful gluten free food. SO good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I stopped by yesterday for some dinner for my family including my daughter who is newly diagnosed with cd. we got the gf pizza which she said was delicious and she loved the gf chicken quinoa soup. we also had the non gf baked ziti which my husband and I agreed was delicious. Francine was very sweet and helpful. we are lucky to have such a great option in our community.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING gluten free options!! GF pizza, meatballs, rice balls, pastas, dinners! Meatball pizza was delicious

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Such delicious food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The best gluten free pizza I've found. Love this place!

When I have a functioning that I know will not have GF options available I always order from here to bring or have delivered. The GF shrimp parm dinner is my usual go to and if I'm in the mood for an appetizer I almost always get the GF rice balls. Soups are excellent too. Great staff and knowledgeable! I have celiac and have never once had an issue.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The service was absolutely awful!! My son has been GF for a year so needless to say I was very excited when I saw their menu specially since I'd heard great things about them. To my disappointment the woman (I assume the owner) was extremely extremely rude. I'm also not sure how they get high reviews for being Celiac friendly. She told me her 3 grandkids all have Celiac so of course I had high expectations. When we first walked in, she was eating from a pan even while we continued to stand at the counter. She proceeded to make the GF pizza without gloves nor washing her hands. She wiped her face with the side of her hand never washing her hands. I am greatly disappointed in the experience because I thought I had found a "safe" restaurant in the area. I will never ever go back there again. I never write reviews but the negative experience compelled me to write one. My true rating is 0 stars.

River Edge Pizza has been the BEST gluten-free find for my husband and I. We have been gluten free since 1999 when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I am usually hesitant to try new places because of what we have been through over the years. My diet is one thing that I can control in my life and for my health. I had read an amazing review online and I wandered in to check it out. After talking with Francine and Robert, I felt so comfortable that I left with enough food to last us for a few days. It was AMAZING! We were hooked! We have loved everything that we’ve tried – the food is fabulous! There are so many gluten free options! Francine and Robert are so sweet, dedicated to their customers, careful with dietary needs, and really are just wonderful. Thank you, Francine & Robert. We LOVE River Edge Kitchen!!!

I am severely allergic to gluten (I get symptoms in about 20 mins) and have never gotten sick here. Best Italian food I've ever eaten and the owners are so friendly and amazing. Would eat here every day of my life if I lived closer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free food here is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back!

I can't say enough good things about this place!! Francine is a sweetheart and made me what I wanted even though it was off menu! I highly recommend the rice balls !

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have yet to find a place that is more "celiac-friendly" than this one. There are MANY gluten free options (in fact, almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free), and everything is made fresh and very carefully, and I know how dedicated they are to making their food GF safe and delicious.

The GF bread is especially awesome - well worth the trip just for that alone.

(I don't know what planet some of these complainers come from - maybe they went to some other place and left their reviews here by mistake?)

I wish all restaurants were as good at GF as they are - - -

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely love this place. The owners are so nice and the food is always amazing. Gluten free garlic bread and calamari are my favorites! Meatballs are great too.

The service was great; however, they don't make many gluten-free options other than the pizza and some super amazing rice balls. The pizza is way overpriced for the size. Might as well buy a frozen GF pizza from the supermarket.

I found the owner to be extremely helpful and sweet. It was my first time ordering, and she was sure to let me know about other gluten free options that were available. I will definitely be coming back 😊

I ordered in a few months ago and the woman who took my order was VERY rude. I am pretty sure she was the owner. She gave me an attitude when I asked her to make my order GF. I told her I was not going to order from her anymore because of her attitude--she had no problem with that and hung up abruptly The GF options are actually pretty good but I do not think I could ever stand to order from there again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. I visited the restaurant for the first time today and I was traveling to the area for business and I was more than happy with my experience. I had the chicken parm sandwich and I am always worried that a lack of gluten will also mean a lack of taste but I could have sworn I was eating a 'normal' chicken parm. I also had the pleasure of chatting with Robert who made me feel more than comfortable eating there, I felt right at home and safe about the food I was eating. I live over an hour away but I will be back very soon. Also, I didn't have any reaction at all, safe for celiacs!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This review is purely based on a phone call to this establishment last week on Saturday 7/11. I simply asked to confirm what items/ingredients are put onto 2 sandwiches and the lady rudely stated something like, "I don't have time to go through our entire menu. We are very busy right now so feel free to come here to look at the menu." They must be doing very well if they talk to people like this so maybe their food is ok. Needless to say I will never order from them and I will make sure to spread the word about their rude service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Bar non, the best gf Italian food outside of NYC. Fried calamari, meatballs, sandwiches, dinners, pizza, etc. It's a tiny pizzeria, nothing fancy, only 4 tables, food served in to go tins but it's so good. Try the tagliatelle... its like buttuh! The owners are very friendly and will bend over backwards to make your meal great.
