Fun atmosphere but lots of gluten in the air. The kids (not GF) were offered dough balls to play with. I ordered GF pasta from the gf menu but I found a regular noodle in my pasta. It tasted great until then :(.

Glutened off a salad (the tortilla strips) after being told they were safe by guest service via email.

Taylor B. With guest services said the GF pasta is cooked separately & the GF pizza dough has no contact with flour at any point.

The staff said otherwise so I went with a salad to be safe. Half way through my meal they said the tortilla strips on my salad is not safe.

The menu is called "gluten friendly" which is scary but a humorous attempt was made. I stuck with a salad to avoid flour cross contamination which is a real possibility here. It was romaine lettuce but since I'm allergic to amaranth (including spinach and chard) they changed gloves before making my salad. How conscientious! Felt safe, didn't get sick.

This place has such a homey feel to it. There is something on the menu that everyone can get and enjoy. That's what I loved about this place even with my daughters allergy she was able to order actual food, and not have to resort to just a salad. She had the gluten free pizza, and absolutely loved it.

NOT CELIAC SAFE!! If I could give zero stars I would, but the app forces at least one star. I got the bollo pasta with GF pasta. It was disgusting, no flavor to the sauce and the noodles were falling apart and had a weird texture. I did not finish the dish as I was experiencing symptoms before I was even halfway thru it.

The waitress initially brought me a regular pasta with garlic bread and was rather irritated about returning it.

They have a glutenfree menu and I asked the waiter if the GF-pasta is cooked in seperate water and it is, so it is celiac-save. The pasta tasted very good. Pizzas are not for celiacs (marked ond menu).

Went here as a tourist and it was amazing! The restaurant is beautiful inside and when I mentioned being gluten free to the host they immediately pulled out a dedicated menu. While not too many options were available, what was offered was quite impressive. I got some delicious pasta while I was there. An issue was with the chicken I requested on the dish but the server checked with the kitchen several times with questions about the dish and was very helpful. Several alternatives were made available and the meal was delicious. The staff are fastidious in their protocols and the kitchen is well-informed on celiac disease, which was also specifically mentioned and asked about by the server. Wonderful place and would go there again. 10/10

This place is so gross. If you have to eat here, get a salad. Or better yet, don’t go here.

Our waitress was knowledgeable and lovely, the food was awful though. They also have French fries that are GF as an appetizers? I don’t get it?

I go here for lunch occasionally. They have a separate gluten free menu, you just have to ask for it. They have pasta, salads, and pizza. I always get the pasta and it's very good. I always tell them it's for allergy and have never gotten sick. The staff is knowledgeable and if they don't know, they will find someone who can answer all your questions. Once or twice they have accidentally put bread on the plate so I have had to send it back. Otherwise great experience!

Alfredo the Dark is amazing and can be gluten free.

Wonderful place, but with no dedicated space to make gluten-free pizza and a common pizza oven the possibility of cross-contamination is high especially with flour in the air. My neighbor is Celiac and got some gluten from Oregano's gluten-free pizza. Especially sensitive Celiacs may prefer a less risky place like Picazzo where gluten-free is the norm.

GF pizza / pesto sauce, sausage, pepperoni, garlic .. OMG .. will be going back for this one again and again. My 1st experience with GF pizza ever.

IF we need to wait, it's definitely worth the wait and we drank only water while waiting!

They are “gluten friendly” and not gluten free. Had a simple salad with Italian dressing and felt fine afterwards. Second time I went I had the simple salad but with chicken since the chicken is cooked on a skillet vs on a shared stove top- did not have a reaction. I don’t trust the pizza, waitress are good to remind “we are a gluten friendly environment but can’t ensure gluten free.”

Pizza is unsafe. They told me there’s flour residue on the cooking surface and they put the gf crust directly on it.

Huge portions and a large menu with many options. The decor is cute and very family-style. Service was a bit slow after more than an hour’s wait, but our waitress was friendly and funny. I have celiac so was not able to eat their gluten free pizza due to cross contamination, but did enjoy a “big” Caesar salad which was in fact huge. Their salad dressings are all gluten free, you just need to ask for no croutons or cheese crumbles.

Oreganos has gluten free pizza that is really good. The waitress made double sure that the pizza is safe since I have a gluten and dairy allergy. The staff is educated, this place is good to come to.

I didn't see a gluten free menu. I can't have any grains so I didn't get the pizza. My salad came down to plain chicken on some lettuce. It was sad. Not much for gluten free, especially if you are dairy and grain free too. :(

I have a complete ‘love-hate’ relationship with Oreganos. When I found out 4 years ago that I had celiacs I realized very quickly that there are restaurants that there are 3 types of restaurants: those that are accommodating, not accommodating, and those that begrudgingly accommodate the disease. Oreganos is a restaurant that begrudgingly accommodated the disease (and GF fad) by developing a Gluten Friendly menu that included common entrees like salads. I would ask why they never served GF pizza and the answer was “our kitchen isn’t designed to eliminate cross contamination”. Admirable, I agree. So whenever my boyfriend got a hankering for Oreganos I would always order the Caesar salad- no croutons. No big deal. However, about a year ago they started serving GF pizza (prob because of the demand and negative reviews on FB) and I was SO excited that they started doing this. I asked them about their GF pizza and they said that it’s not at all safe for celiacs or those with an intolerance. They put the pizza on the same oven racks with the non-GF pizza (they don’t even use a special pan or oven safe paper) and they make the GF pizza on the same counter tops without cleaning the counters to even ‘try’. I was so disappointed by this ‘half-baked’ attempt to accommodate the growing need for GF foods that I don’t even go here anymore. There are so many better pizza restaurants that cater to celiacs that it’s not even worth trying to pretend that I might have options here.

My family and I are all GF. My younger son is the picky eater of the bunch. We were in Phoenix for one night only after a week's vacation. We found this place and called ahead to make sure they had GF options. They have pizza and pasta. We ended up sitting at the bar as the place was packed. The bartender was awesome! Super friendly and accommodating. She was very helpful in gaging how much food to order as the portions are big. We split two salads and three pasta dishes and waffle fries. The frys share a fryer but none of us got sick. I usually feel it if the dryer is shared but this time I didn't. The food was amazing. The picky eater had gobbled it up. Highly recommended this place. We would eat here all the time if we lived in Phoenix. Pizza looked delicious too.

Friendly staff. I got the gluten free menu. Not tons of options, but the pasta dish I did order was really good. I’d love to have seen a bit more variety, but gluten free beggars can’t be choosers I guess. I’ll come back by next time I’m in town.

The manager came to my table and emphasized that if I am gluten free due to an allergy, the only safe menu items were the salads. "There's flour flying around the kitchen everywhere". The salad was underwhelming; I won't be going back
