Zizzi's

I was asked about allergies on arrival and stated gluten for myself, the server explained scanning the barcode on the menu for allergen info. I asked whether the foods listed gluten free were cooked separate or cross contaminated and was informed that anything fried was cooked with gluten so “it depends how sensitive you are” (to which I stated I was coeliac so it was a no go) but this was a huge red flag. It’s also important to note this is not mentioned on the allergen menu next to the items. I was informed the pizzas are cooked in the same oven on a separate tray and pasta is also separate so to stick to these options. I opted for pizza. Which came out with a gf sticker on the plate. The toppings were lovely but unfortunately the base was very undercooked and doughy/stodgy. The server did not return after bringing us our meals, it ended up being a senior staff that came over to clear our plates as we had been waiting a while (it was busy). He asked how the meal was and I gave him my honest feedback about the pizza base, and he kindly removed this item off the bill.

Overall: Do not recommend for gluten free. Red flags on cross contamination. Pizza express is so much nicer and there is one locally.

Was okay for gluten free but not the best. No dedicated menu and had to read through a very awkward and complicated chart for products with gluten in. Had a pasta dish however pasta was very under done.

They got us in last minute as we told them we only had an hour and knew Zizzi's was gold for gluten free. Dolly couldn't be more accommodating in giving us a table for an hour and getting our food to us quickly. They also really discreetly put an allergy vase on the table.
