Gluten-Free at Donatos

Loved their medium GF crust! But not all locations have the gf crust so call ahead and ask.

I called to ask about cross contamination and they said that they make no effort to avoid cross contamination. This is very different from other Donatos locations.

I’ve eaten at both locations in BG numerous times & it’s always delicious. It’s my favorite pizza place. GF options are clearly marked, & the gf crust is great. Amazing choices in specialty pizzas. The Fairview location is my fave; the owner is so nice.

The food was great but I’ve been sick for days. It’s a chain, so you know you’re taking a risk when you try it. I just won’t be trying it again.

I have eaten their gluten free crust a few times and haven't gotten sick. I don't know if there is a separate prepping area, but a couple other celiac friends can eat there too.

Haven’t gotten my pizza yet but it’s painful to order here. If you’re not super sensitive then I would say it’s generally ok. Menu is marked with GF options. They don’t have a side menu to cross check for gluten ingredients if you decide to add changes to the GF marked pizzas. They have a Vegan, gluten free and cauliflower crusts that are all GF. They don’t prep with separate pans. Had to ask that they use a cleaned one but it’s not designated. Had I not been pressed for time and Two Boots pizza nearby opened at the same time as Donato’s did - I would’ve went to Two Boots. Staff at Donato’s is not knowledgeable about GF and cross contamination. Jury is still out on my pizza. Thankfully I don’t have a severe allergy to gluten so I think I should be ok. We shall see. Avoid this place if you’re super sensitive.

Their gluten free crust was really good and their regular wings are also good. Their website lists everything without gluten.

They sell “gluten free” pizza for $25 for what would be a small pizza in normal terms. I ordered one and was immediately very sick. Called in and the manager said they cook everything on the same pans, they don’t use any different knives to cut the pizzas. Blamed me for not reading their fine print on the sticker they put on the box.

Usually I would write this off but the way the manager spoke to me was terrible and rude. Avoid at all costs.

I recently am gluten free and am able to compare the gluten free crust to their famous thin. They are nearly indistinguishable to me. I have had zero complication with cross contamination at this location. If you want a good thin crust pizza, it’s worth it to try it out here.

My husband and I are both Celiacs and we had a pizza that was terrific. They told us they could not guarantee avoiding cross contamination but they did change gloves and use a clean cutter. They were not too busy so that was in our favor.

The gluten free pizza we had here was fantastic! Celiac approved. Didnt ask about cross contamination protocols but as someone who has problems with cross contamination I was fine.

We order from this Donatos a few times a month. Usually gf is not an issue and comes marked/sealed with a gf sticker. Once we were sent a gluten pizza. We called, they delivered the gf pizza immediately. Typically the gf pizza is cooked well and we like their crust.

Ordered the bruschetta on cauliflower crust. It was delicious but I soon started to react. This was ultimately my fault because I presumed the pizza on GF crust with plant-based sausage would be GF. The sausage is not GF. Otherwise, the pizza would have been fantastic.

They had gluten free and vegan items marked on menu. When clarifying about measures taken, employee assured me he would use unopen materials from the back instead of the items out and in use. My food was later to the table than others but it was because there was cross contamination from a different employee. They were open and honest about it with me and said they had already begun making a new pizza for me.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. This place has no business listing themselves as GF. Stay FAR away from this place if you are Celiac!!! My daughter is a student at OSU and went in for a GF pizza tonight. They served her the pizza. Three slices in and they came over and told her they served her the wrong pizza and it was a full gluten pizza. She is soooo sick!!! She cannot stop puking. Don’t ever go here if you have Celiac!!! You have been warned!!!

Not gluten free they make it in the same place as the other pizzas. Flour everywhere. The manager said this is not for serious issues.

The gluten free crust gets cross contaminated sadly

Celiac friendly?

No

This location has my favorite pizza crust.

Best gluten free pizza I have ever had! The wings are safe, but you need to have them well done for taste reasons. The cauliflower pizza is really good as well. The salads are always decently fresh.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is rude and not very concerned about preventing cross contamination. Don't recommend this particular establishment.

Celiac friendly?

No

The food was okay, and my daughter did not get sick. The staff is not all that friendly and seemed really annoyed by my gluten questions. The website says they have certified gf pizza, but only if you bake it at home. I do not recommend dining in at this location for gf. May try the prepackaged version at some point.

This is the best gluten free pizza I've eaten. I have eaten here every time I come to Ohio and have never gotten sick. Great place!

I had such a great experience here despite the bad reviews. I told the front house lady that I had celiac disease and then it was like an allergy and she went back to the kitchen to make sure that they understood. After I ate, even though I don’t immediately feel sick, she came to check on me to make sure that everything was ok. Again great experience, just explain your needs

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The “gluten free” pizza was very tasty! The only thing is cross contamination. The box has a warning posted on it that it was prepared and cooked in the same area as typical pizza. Wish I would have asked before I ordered.
