No longer have a separate GF menu but servers are knowledgeable. Salads + shrimp and a few starters can be made with very little potential for cross-contact, minus some toppings. They can use a separate pan for the shrimp and were happy to change gloves for me. If you are OK with sharing a grill surface with burger buns, you could also do the steak and salmon. They have a GF pizza crust - note it is a shared prep space, although they make efforts to keep the GF pizza crust from coming into direct contact with anything. I had the arugula and fennel salad with shrimp. It was good!
I only gave 4 based on selection. Otherwise our server Carly was very helpful. We had a tapioca flour crust salumi muni pizza. They were sure to cook on a separate pie pan in the oven. She did warn that there is other wheat dough pizzas made within proximity so a possible scenario for cross contamination. The apple walnut salad was a good choice and she had the candied walnuts put on the side.
This is the best option for celiac / gluten free in Terminal D. How do we know? We went to literally every single food venue and asked the chefs after we had a 5 hour flight delay.
The hostess, staff, manager, chef all have a really good understanding of gluten free and celiac - they went through the menu options and how they are prepared. Discussed how they avoid cc etc.
Reviews here have suggested it’s only pizza - which is honestly really good. But salads, half the starters and even some of the main courses can be adapted to suit.
Fryer is dedicated to the Brussel sprouts and chips so they are gf too (they have a seperate fryer for calamari and other gluten foods).
Would definitely recommend this place - and it was a hit with my celiac kiddos which is always the biggest challenge.

All staff were knowledgeable about celiac (even the hostess!). They change gloves and tools and prepare the pizza on a covered surface. They do bake in the same oven and pull from the same work station but we were in a pinch so we risked it with no issues. Pizza never touches the same surface as regular pizza so the risk is in the toppings. We did just cheese.
The menu doesn't even list a gluten free option, I came here years ago and had a gf pizza so I knew they did.
The waiter was kind. I ordered the funghi pizza which had alfredo, I asked him to double check it was gf. He asked the kitchen, they said it was dairy. I assumed it was made from scratch, but it was a bottle with whey and modified food starch.
I licked it and my stomach instantly hurt, they were kind to make me a different pizza. And they printed the alfredo list for me. I would stick to the tomato sauce pizza if you eat here.
Had read this was a good place for gluten free in advance. When we got here the waiter advised it was not and that the pizza was the only thing they had that was an option.
No GF menu but the server was familiar with allergies and ensured to have the cook safely prepare my gf pepperoni pizza. Be sure to tell them you have a gluten allergy or how you choose to explain it so they know. Goof thin crust pizza, edges were a little extra crispy but otherwise cooked well. So far so good on how I feel after eating it, about an hr ago.
Stopped in for breakfast during a layover, and was very pleased to find that there were many gluten free food options. My server, Dillon, was highly knowledgeable about what could be made gluten free and what was at risk of cross contamination(the breakfast potatoes). So for anyone with celiacs or gluten allergies, I highly recommend going here for breakfast - and looks great for other meals too. The egg white omelette was GF, and it was amazing. The service from Dylan was fantastic. I can't recommend this place enough when traveling through DFW.
Long week of travel and we’re all tires of the usual snacks so thrilled to find an option in terminal D. Salads and pizzas can be made gf in separate oven. Sensitive celiac did not get sick.
I ordered the gluten free breakfast pizza. It was good and the servers were really nice
Server said their dedicated fryer was down but recommended the gluten-free pizza. They bake them in a separate oven. It was pretty good.
Surprised about the menu! Server was very help, her name is Phebe.
