Low gluten options are also available on our menu. You will see them marked with GF for low gluten and GFA to indicate a low gluten alternative is available on request. Many of the options marked as GF or GFA do not include gluten-containing ingredients. However, pizzas are a popular choice on our menu, and we use flour to make the bases of our pizzas. Therefore, traces of flour and gluten are in the air. As a result, low gluten is a more accurate description of what we can offer.
If you are vegetarian or vegan, you will also find delicious options on our menu. Again, we label them for convenience, with V indicating a vegetarian dish, VA indicating there is a vegetarian option, and VG indicating the dish is vegan.
