Gluten-Free at Grotto Pizza
Pizza Restaurant
My daughter and I both have celiac and we were with a huge group of gluten eating pizza fans. They said they made everything separately and cooked the pizza on a pan in the oven. They even brought our pizza out separately with gloves. Seemed pretty informed and we both had no issues.
Great spot for pizza- we had a party there for our team visiting and they did a great job!!!! Salads and GF pizza!!!
Decent GF pizza but I do think I got glutened.
You’d have to be nuts to eat here as someone with celiacs. They make their GF pizza on the same surface as their regular pizza. There’s a 100% risk of cross contact. I used to love their pizza before I got diagnosed, but unfortunately it’s just not an option anymore. I probably wouldn’t even eat a salad here as they do not train staff on cross-contact risk.
This was the sickest I have ever gotten eating out. I had no issue at the Bethany location so I tried Columbia. I’m worried that they gave me the wrong crust based on how sick I was.
Update: They described the two crusts and it seems I likely had the GF crust. They will be reviewing the video of my pizza prep to see if there was a break down in process.
Mi hija es celíaca y siempre le ha sentado muy bien la pizza.
I thought my experience was very nice. They have a new Gluten Free pizza call the Detroit and it was very good and I did not get sick. Waitress was very pleasant. Also they only have 2 gf items which are two different pizza’s. I am excited to go back soon!
They have a 10” GF pizza on their menu. Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but when you’re in Rehoboth and your family wants Grottos, it is a good option! Delicious Orange Crushes there too!
Goede pizza, krokante bodem van 10 inch. Twee verschillende bodems waar je zelf je toppings aan toe kon voegen. Serveerster deed haar best, begreep niet helemaal hoe te handelen. Gaf bv de glutenvrije pizza’s over de glutenvrije pizza aan. Corrigeerde zichzelf toen ik haar dit vroeg. Helaas wel klachten van buikpijn de dag erna, maar dat zou ook goed iets anders kunnen zijn. Zouden hier gerust nog een keer heengaan. Let op, alle schuifdeuren staan open, dus winderig. Let op hoe je gaat zitten đ
I had not been back here in three years because the crust they used to use would stick to your teeth. Just gave it another try and am happy I did. They have two gluten-free crust choices. The personal traditional pizza was delicious. The crust was very close to a normal pizza crust. I could tell it was gluten-free because my fellow diners’ personal pizzas had a different bottom pattern. I was told that they would avoid cross contact and used to dedicated pizza slicer. On my next visit, I tried new Detroit style. It was also safe, but I definitely prefer but traditional.
Detroit style GF pizza ordered without sauce was a big hit with our celiac kids. Like breadsticks!
Their gluten free pizza is the best I've had!
My favorite beach pizza was excited to find out it’s gluten free. Any of their pizzas can be made on the gluten free crust (I got a bianco). I’m lactose intolerant but took lactaid so I can eat the cheese. Also asked about the fries being gluten free and they confirmed and had them baked instead of fried. So delicious could eat this every day!
Amazing Detroit style gluten free pizza. On menu labeled gluten free- didn’t have to ask. Great experience
This was the best gluten free pizza my daughter and I have had in a very long time. It was crispy and covered in cheese! We also got the French fries which they baked for us. The gf menu is pizza and fries only but what else do you really need? They were safe and knowledgable.
I have to admit I wasThoroughly surprised at how good the gluten-free pizza was
Called to check about the safety of their gluten free pizza. Was told dough was prepared and cooked on the same surface as their regular pizza dough.
I ordered a gluten free pizza and was served one with gluten (by a food runner, not our original waitress). I realized the taste wasn’t right when I got to the crust of my first slice. Went to the bathroom, made myself get sick, and the waitress was very apologetic and made me a GF one to go. Once I knew I was in the clear, the GF crust was really good! But wish there would have been better communication.
The food was amazing, but cross contaminated. I started feeling the nausea accompanied with the contamination 5 minutes after eating. Celiac havers beware. Other than that there was a very limited amount of foods you could eat.
I asked and I was hesitant because they ship the crust in frozen. It was WONDERFUL. I will be back.
They have a GF personal pizza and some salad as GF options. It's not a lot of choices but it is very good. Their fryer will cross- contaminate so beware of the fries.
I had the pizza from here and really enjoyed it! It was some of the best I had and I was actually surprised about that. I also got grilled bites and had no reaction to that! Told them I had a gluten allergy and they were nice about that.
Pretty decent GF pizza. Nice and crispy and good selection of toppings. Our server was excellent in telling us about their crust and accommodating. I unfortunately am not able to do dairy at the moment but the pizza was still tasty without it. Nothing else on the menu was marked GF but I am sure they had options. We did come 2x while in Milford. First time I got sausage and peppers. Second time pepperoni and jalapeños. I preferred the pepperoni over their sausage.
Unfortunately when I tried their gf pizza I ended up with a reaction. I made sure waitress knew and that she talked to the kitchen to let them know I have celiac disease. Pizza was wonderful but I reacted not long after we left. Very disappointed as I was hoping I would be ok as it tastes like their regular pizza. Somewhere there was cross contamination. Separate pans and utensils but should have talked to manager about changing gloves and maybe fresh cheese and sauce. Or they are not as careful as last year.
Pizza is about the only choice here and it’s quite good. Outdoor atmosphere and service are great too.
When I ate an entire GF 9” pizza in 10 minutes …. My family wasn’t sure what to say….. seriously the BEST GF pizza I’ve ever had. Really felt like I was eating real pizza. Thank you Grotto!!!
Dedicated GF
Great for our family of 5 - aged 6 to 45. Able to get chicken tenders for the kiddo while getting safe gluten free food for myself, who is diagnosed with celiac disease. So nice to be on vacation and not get sick!!
We’ve been here two years in a row on vaca. My 10 yo celiac loves their Caesar salad and individual pizza.
The pizza was on the menu as “gluten free”. I ordered it with sauce, cheese and mushrooms. It was delicious!
Service and food was fine, but I absolutely had a gluten exposure. I made sure to tell the server I had a gluten allergy, and apparently my crust was gluten free, but I was violently I'll all night. Maybe it was an off day, but I won't be returning.
I tend to stay away from gf pizza because it usually tastes like shit… but OH MY GOD. Regardless of it being gf it was probably the best pizza I’ve ever had. I went back to double check it was the gluten free one. Do not walk… RUN to get this damn pizza. So good.
I’ve found this to be the only safe pizza to eat in Ocean City. They’re always super reliable and some of the other places made me nervous. They use separate pans and utensils for cutting/making the pizza! I believe it is all cooked in the same oven, so if that would bother you just be aware of that. Pizza size is like a personal pizza, it’s a good portion for me but some might need 2 or 3. I like a lot of sauce so I would ask for extra since it doesn’t come with very much. Great pizza and very affordable as well!
I really like their GF pizza crust.
Gf pizza option is a small 9 inch personal pan pizza. Did not get sick
I will say that my husband prefers their GF pizza crust over their regular crust. He’s not gluten free. I happen to think their pizza is quite good for gluten free.
I ate in while at the boardwalk and asked about GF options. They have a GF pizza dough and said they would change gloves and clean the area, but they do NOT have a dedicated GF prep area or a GF oven. No GF menu for other items. Ultimately I got a salad and requested them to make it with GF protections since it was obvious I could not safely get the pizza or anything else on the menu.
The pizza was delicious! My daughter is very sensitive to cross contamination and she did fine her. Our waiter Ian was very knowledgeable
My daughter really enjoyed the plain gf pizza, although it is smaller than most gf pizzas. An adult might need 2. They said they use a clean pan.
Had the gluten-free pizza and had no issues. It was one of the best GF pizzas I've had. Will definitely eat there again.
I ordered a gluten-free pizza & informed the cashier that I had a gluten allergy, and he wrote that information on the pizza box & told me the kitchen staff would be aware of it. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. Sadly, I was not at all impressed by the taste of the pizza. The crust was very soggy, and the flavor was not very appetizing. Before being diagnosed with Celiac, I loved Grotto pizza, but I don't think I will ever be returning for their GF pizza.
I have eaten several (at least 10) gluten free pizzas here without a single issue. Staff knowledge seems to vary and there have been times that I was nervous ordering but have never had any celiac symptoms following a meal there. Cook shared that they use a gluten free screen underneath all theGF pizzas during preparation and baking.
I've taken digestive enzymes because they don't assure the GF pizza is GF. No other options available and staff isn't knowledgeable. Worst GF tasting pizza for the highest price that I've found.
I was in town visiting and craving pizza. Their gluten free pizza was good but a little on the bland side. The crust had a buttery flavor which I liked. Did not appear to be the standard udis etc used by most places.
said it was gluten free pizza but ended up getting sick right after
GF pizza is better than other places in the area but nothing special. Overpriced for what you get but for a pizza night with the family at the beach, it is my preferred choice.
Disgusting
Worst GF pizza I’ve ever had it tastes horrible
I tried the gluten free pizza and I love it!
My favorite pizza!! Very glad they make a GF version. I don’t know about cross contamination.
We had a late lunch and got the gluten free regular cheese pizza. The waitress was able to explain the prepping and cooking of the gluten free pizza. I thought the pizza was good. The gluten free crust is thicker than their regular crust, in my opinion, which made the pizza crust more softer and doughier taste but that did not bother me. My husband, who is not celiac, also had the pizza and enjoyed it as well. I felt safe eating here.
The pizza is very good, but could be cooked more. The crust is crunchy and doesn’t fall apart. Delicious sauce and cheese. Update: felt sick all night. My fault cause I didn’t ask if it was celiac safe but guess it isn’t.
