Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

Federal Pizza brings a lively, retro vibe and a tempting gluten-free menu—think wood-fired pizzas with creative toppings and pasta that actually holds its own—but it’s not a dedicated gluten-free facility. The kitchen does offer a separate oven and some dedicated utensils for gluten-free orders, and staff are generally knowledgeable and accommodating, which is honestly more than you find at most pizza joints. Still, shared spaces mean there’s real risk, and there have been reports of both safe meals and accidental gluten exposures—so it’s a bit of a gamble for folks with celiac. If you’re used to navigating cross-contamination risks and love the idea of craft pizza with friends, it can be worth a visit, but the anxiety never quite leaves the table.
