Russo's New York Pizzeria

Best GF pizza in Memphis

Meh, not the best. If you want good gluten-free pizza in Memphis, try Pyro's instead. I've had better frozen pizza than this. The crust was burnt, and the center was so soft it felt like it was going to fall apart. They also messed up my order with the toppings (not a big deal), but the service was a little slow and it just wasn't worth the price for pizza.

That said, they do offer a huge, and I mean HUGE menu, (read online before going in) so I would go back again, I would maybe just try a pasta dish instead next time though! (Their food did not give me any sort of reaction.)

Had the gf pizza a year or so ago, and it was wonderful. Today, however, I barely made it home after eating 2 slices of my gf pizza. I'm now sick from cross contamination. I should've not eaten it at all after having to send back the plate that was brought to me for being dirty. I don't know if they have become too relaxed concerning their gf foods or if staff is not trained properly anymore. If I would've been asked if cross contamination was an issue for me, I would've gladly sat and enjoyed a drink. Now, I will have my life, as well as my children's lives, interrupted while being sick/reacting for 3 days to six weeks. Please Russo's either make changes or don't offer gluten free.

The gluten free pizza was super good and the service was excellent.

This is actually one of my favorite gf restaurants in the Memphis area, and often our go-to for a quick meal.

This place is fantastic! We got pizza and pasta and both were great. we got the gluten free penne pasta flava and had to order another helping because the kids were fighting over it. Waitress very accommodating of gluten allergy.

I ate gluten free pizza here and they do use gluten free pizza crust ,but they do not understand cross contamination. I had a bad reaction.

Without a doubt this is the best Gluten Free Italian in Memphis. The pizza crust is some of the best that I have had and the pasta selections are terrific. I have never had a bad meal there. We do take out and also we dine in. The service is always top and the Owner (Brett) is very engaged with the team and customer. ONE BIG BENEFIT is they do breakfast and they have GF pancakes and waffles. This as you know is a rare treat especially in Memphis. Again, this is one of the top GF restaurants for pizza and pasta and we have been to many across the US.

Just a heads up to all the GF people, Russo's New York Pizzeria - South Padre Island no longer has regular GF pizza. We went there tonight, ordered the GF Flatbread to begin with. This is just the GF crust with their Italian spices on it, served with dipping oil. Our fabulous server brings it out to us and even said, I'm not sure why they cut it this way. I knew without even trying it that it was the nasty cauliflower crust. It was so nasty smelling that it made my stomach hurt. We were then told they no longer have regular GF crusts. Management made us pay for 3 bottled waters and a beer, even though they were out of what we ordered. Not a good business plan. It would have been so easy for them to apologize and comp us our drinks because they were out. The manager lady was not a nice person. It's hard enough being GF.

I ordered a mozzarella cheese pizza from the gluten free option they had on the HungerStation app. Unfortunately, what I received was a gluten-based pizza. I’m grateful that I ate a small bite that still initiated some symptoms of my celiac disease. This is really upsetting. Anyone ordering needs to be careful and confirm many times with the restaurant
