My daughter has celiac and we went here for pizza as we heard good things. We ordered a few different types of pizza. This was the best GF pizza I’ve ever had by far and I would have never guessed it was GF. My daughter had zero reaction and I would highly recommend this restaurant
I’ve been diagnosed celiac for a year, and this is the best gf crust I’ve had! If you’re tired of crunchy thin crust, and want something a little chewier and breadier, try try one!
They use deglutenized wheat which is not safe for those who have a real wheat allergy. It's only safe for those who are allergic to the gluten starch which is removed but you can not remove the wheat protein from deglutenized wheat. This is why their pizza makes some of us VERY SICK.

I think some of the hype about this place is just staged social media. I was excited to eat here. We had a large group. It was more dingy than old fashioned, service was positive but amateurish. No one thought their pizza was worthy of the hype.
I am not angry and we had fine interactions- I just wanted to add that my observations and opinions are very different from the glowing recommendations I got from online and offline.
I feel like I let my guard down for this place- and I definitely got reminded to not trust non-celiac reviews and reviewers.
Based on the word of mouth I was expecting Pizzeria Locale or Pizzeria Uno quality and I experienced the opposite end of the spectrum. One of those places people pretend is great because pride and optimism coerce them to - and there’s no harm for healthy eaters to join that crowd in life.
But for me it was another awkward meal I bought friends and family (and tipped well as a service and F&B vet) after pretending that a restaurant everyone was visiting to accommodate me was great, when in truth it was fully disappointing.
My GF pizza was mediocre and doughy crust at best and poorly undercooked. After only watching their kitchen on the way out (when it was too late) I realized the chances of direct and cross contamination are extremely elevated. As were some basic food handling risks.
I did get sick from my pizza (it’s the only thing I consumed for 6 hours before and after). I can’t say yet if I got G-Bombed, or just punished by the low quality of undercooked papery dough, or maybe the obviously second rate prep on display. (Our dish-ware was grimy, our table had dried food left from prior diners etc.) Overall they had very typical and common mediocre /amateur restaurant QC.
I really wanted to fall in love here but was so disappointed by the gap between hype and reality that I decided to add one of my only reviews on FMGF.
Hopefully I was just there on a bad night and maybe your experience will be better. I wish them and their fans nothing but enjoyment.
But I must sadly suggest strongly that you go in to this restaurant with that special energy and full focus that all celiacs know we need in an unproven possibly unreliable kitchen.
This is the best GF pizza I’ve eaten in the 18 years since my celiac diagnosis. I ordered the Quattro formaggi, and it was delicious — even cold the next day. I didn’t get sick at all.
Best gf pizza I have had yet in my travels across the US. Closest to the real thing of any place I’ve tried. Have eaten here many times and have never been sick.
We called the restaurant today after reading some of the reviews - they confirmed that the gf pizzas are cooked in a shared oven, and that they’re unable to cook the gf pizzas on a separate pan because the pizzas wouldn’t cook correctly, so there’s a high potential for cross contamination.
We went here once and the gf pizza was amazing, but celiacs should be aware that the pizza isn’t celiac safe due to the shared oven.
They had gluten free pizza option on the menu and server assured us they were careful. However got stomach ache after being here. Suspect the server rushing around serving the pizzas to the customers had used the same pizza cutter on all the pizzas. Could have been due to other issues but did not go back there again. Extremely noisy, very busy. Could not talk to anyone due to it being so loud. Pizzas tasted good though.
Love this place; hands down best gf pizza in the area. Just FYI—pizza is made with deglutanized wheat starch pizza mix which is certified gluten free but obviously not wheat free. I no longer eat here because I also have a wheat allergy but the pizza was delicious
It seems there is some inconsistency in the information being given out. I called to verify safety based on some of these reviews and the person on the phone said they use the same oven as gluten containing pizzas, but they “put them in by themselves and the oven is 1000 degrees.” It is true that high temperatures can denature gluten, but there is not much info about how long that would take in a pizza oven and I can almost guarantee they don’t wait more than a minute between pizzas. The person even said “we are very gluten friendly but can’t claim to be gluten free.” I would not risk as a Celiac.
Wow the food was amazing! I couldn’t even tell it was gf! Did not get sick at all
Really enjoyed pizza here, felt safe and staff made me feel very comfortable when requesting my dietary needs. The only thing that made me a little nervous was I forgot to clarify if the cutting of the pizza was done with specific utensils to avoid cross contact concerns. But I remained well and had no issues following dinner.
I really love their pizza here! Always worth it for me.
I have eaten at Settebellos multiple times. It’s my go to for gluten free pizza. Their gluten free pizzas are wood fired in a seperate oven. The crust is to die for!
The pizza is so light and fluffy! The server was knowledgeable about celiac and was friendly!
The pizza was incredible! Sooo delicious, did not feel like a gluten free substitute. They use imported wheat from Italy that has had the gluten removed. If you have a wheat allergy, this place is not for you. They are super careful with cross contamination, very knowledgeable about celiac disease, and I did not get sick.
Literally THE BEST AUTHENTIC GLUTEN FREE PIZZA EVER! They are a separate oven for gluten free. If you are ever in the area.. you gotta check this place out. Plus they have amazing gelato;)
Pizza was very good. The GF crust was excellent and the waiter was knowledgeable about the GF pizzas. Good food and safe.
I have had good experiences eating here. The thing that is unusual about their gluten free flour is that it is actually made with wheat. It is imported from Italy, where they have devised some process to remove the gluten. Maybe that is why it feels like some kind of transgression to eat it…. Yet I have had only positive experiences and I love the wood fired oven aspect. The waitress seemed a little condescending, but I think that was just her personality.
PS. They have a great gelato shop next door that I also eat at. I’m not sure it’s totally gluten free. But eating ice cream with coffee probably is going to be an issue no matter what…
The pizza is awesome. I am told they cook the pizzas on a pan instead of directly on the oven floor.
The pizza is the best ever. No process to keep the gf pizzas separated in the oven. I really wish they would come up with a safe process. Scary. The gluten burns off in the oven? Thankfully we didn't get sick but too nervous to go back.
Amazing gluten-free pizza. Very knowledgeable about celiac disease and cross-contamination. Pizza was prepared in a special gluten-free room, and while cooked in same oven as gluten-containing pizzas, they put my GF pizza in by itself to avoid contamination while cooking. Having traveled through Italy (both before and after celiac diagnosis), I can say this pizza rivals what I've had in Italy. Amazing.
Great tasting gluten free pizza! My friend said it tasted almost the same as her regular pizza! $6 up charge for gluten free felt a little steep, but didn’t get sick and was one of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve had.
Although It’s not a dedicated facility, Settebello has an amazing gluten free pizza crust in true Neapolitan style. The pizza is cooked in a wood fire oven and is the best pizza you’ll have!
I made the mistake of eating at the bar one night and saw the cook preparing regular pizza, getting flour all over his apron, and then going over to the gf prep area to make a pizza there. They claimed that the oven burned off the gluten, so that's why they could go in the same oven. Dude, that's not a thing.
Can’t vouch for Celiacs, I have NCGS ( non celiac gluten sensitivity), but the handmade GF crust from imported Italian GF flour is the best I ever had. Puffy, yeasty, chewy, you can’t tell the difference from regular crust. I had to ask 3x, “are you sure this is GF” that’s how good it was. They have restaurants in Las Vegas and S Cal
So delicious, but I’m 99% sure it made me sick. If you’re celiac, I would avoid.
I went gluten free two years ago, this was one of my favorite restaurants, now with gluten free crust it is seriously incredible, you will not be disappointed!
I’ve eaten here 20+ times and have never gotten sick. Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had.
My family and I have eaten here several times. My daughters and I have never had a reaction. The service has always been incredible, and the pizza is delicious!
Great pizza place! All pizzas available gluten-free, prepared in a separate area but shared oven. The rest of the menu is salads and appetizers primarily gluten-free. You must try the beet salad and bacon wrapped dates.
The pizza was delicious, like too good, I got very very sick eating here. Serious cross contamination or the wrong product. We got take-out and the staff confirmed it was gluten free as well as the box said so.
I risked it and had a pizza. Easily the best gluten free pizza I have ever had... And I have tried a lot.
I was nervous so I asked questions. They said that the health department approved them to cook on the same set face because of the 1000 degree oven. They even offered up quotes from a regular celiac customer.
All I know was I was contaminated... it was a sad day. I was so hopeful.
They use caputos flour blend (you can order it online). For anyone who wants to know.
Called before going based on a couple reviews. They confirmed while they take a lot of prep precautions, the GF pizzas are baked on the same surfaces in the 1000°+ oven as all pizzas. This would make us sick, so we did not dine here.
Best gluten free pizza I've ever had. Can't wait until next winter to go back to SLC for more. Fluffy crust on top but thinner on the bottom. Toppings also high quality. We have Celiac and, while they admit they can't control for airborne exposure (since not dedicated gluten free), they do prep pizza in different area and take all precautions they can.
Have had GF pizza all over the country and in Italy, and this tops the list!
Best gluten free pizza I have ever had! My husband could not tell the difference between the two crusts. It was fluffy and tasted just like normal crust. We are going a second time on our vacation because it was so good! Did not get sick!
Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. Truly fantastic. Can’t say enough good things.
Unreal gluten free pizza!! The crust is one of the best I've had!!
The staff was completely honest about the risk of cross contamination; common kitchen space, no special pan in oven. However, the waitress made up some stuff about how the “heat in the oven kills the gluten so you should be ok.” I should have known better.
Shame on me for even risking it. It was delicious pizza. If you are just intolerant, you will probably be ok.
Delicious and fluffy crust! Exactly what I had hoped for!
Sono celiaca ho mangiato la pizza e non sono stata male. Non sono sicura della cottura e della contaminazione però io sono molto sensibile e non ho avuto problemi. Lo consiglio! Staff super!
Some of the best gluten free pizza we’ve ever had and I didn’t have a reaction.
Got the settebello pizza and it was amazing. Toasted pine nuts and tons of yummy toppings! They made sure to keep mine separate and safe from contamination, and cooked it in the oven on a clean tray. Delicious!
Wow! The gluten free crust was fantastic. It has been one of the best that I’ve had. My friend that is not celiac tried a slice of my gluten free pizza and she liked it better than hers that wasn’t gluten free. Yum! I can’t wait to go back.
Absolutely amazing gluten free pizza. Made from the very best gluten free flour (Caputo brand). We order the "00" flour for pizza when we make it homemade. Always wanted to try the gluten free flour from Caputo brand but couldn't find it. I was so pleased! It was delicious! Next door they have illy espresso and gelato!!! It's very close to real Italian pizza. But the best pizza compared to the New England pizza made by real Italian Americans.
Incredible gluten free pizza dough. The pizzas and salads were great on their own, but I have not had dough this good in a while.

Dedicated Gluten Free menu, excellent crust and topping options
It was my favorite gluten free pizza in Nevada, but I have to update this review. I’ve had the pizza many times over the years, but I got glutened badly on my most recent visit. It reminds me that at the end of the day, I’m gambling my health as someone with Celiac disease when I dine in a kitchen full of flour.
Delicious gluten free pizza!
This place is super cool and the ambiance is great! They have gf beer. Unfortunately I did get a reaction. The pizza was the best I’ve had but I would be careful if you are Celiac. I mean it makes sense they bake in the same oven. Fresh flour everywhere. The staff is great and I would go back with my non celiac folks because this place makes delicious pizzas.
Love this place! Best GF pizza dough I’ve ever tasted! Had to double check with the waiter to make sure they gave me gf. It’s just that good.
