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.

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!!

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 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.

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.

I tried the gluten free pizza and I love it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Server knew the basics and asked kitchen questions for us. They baked our wings to make sure gluten free which was fabulous. Pizza was good.

The staff knew about celiacs and was able to communicate what was okay to eat and what was not. If you have celiacs I would recommend calling not ordering online.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF pizza, pleasantly surprised that they have some of the best gf dough/crust we’ve had.

I find their prices pretty expensive but I had their gluten free pizza with veggies and it was good! I also cannot eat eggs or dairy, which their pizza is also free from (i asked for no cheese)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have had Grotto pizza at other locations so I stopped here on a road trip. They had no idea whether the pizza was cooked in a separate pan and then, after I asked the server to find out, they said they were out of GF. Another pizza place in the same complex could accommodate.

Celiac friendly?

No

I personally love the thicker crust on their gluten free pizza. So nice to be able to get a quick easy meal at the beach!

The gluten free pizza is terrible! The crust is thick and not crispy at all - completely soggy. I could barely choke it down.

Best pizza ever!!! We have been coming to Grottos for 10 years and this is by far the best pizza!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Maybe I just had a bad one, but my pizza was AWFUL. It was so chewy and kept sticking to the roof of my mouth and my teeth. The flavor was fine but the dough, yuck

Great gluten free pizza! Absolutely no issues after eating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gluten free pizza anywhere! And they have separate prep area and cutters. I feel very comfortable eating here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I never leave negative reviews but this is the worst gluten free pizza I’ve had in the 10 years of being Celiac. Spongy texture and not good at all. Also, I’m not feeling super confident that they prevent cross contamination and also really expensive! $20 for a medium pizza.

Our server was very friendly. Pizza was good and I had no symptoms after.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pizza cooked separately but it wasn’t very good. Hardly any sauce, rubbery cheese, and undercooked dough.

Ordered a small GF pizza online to pick up at boardwalk location. Glutened for sure.

Celiac friendly?

No
