Celiac safety assessment and key features

Picazzo's is a haven for celiacs who crave Italian comfort food without the anxiety of hidden gluten. Nearly the entire menu is gluten free—think pillowy focaccia, creamy mac and cheese, and signature pizzas—while the kitchen keeps regular gluten dough strictly segregated, even using a separate oven. Dedicated fryers, marked menus, and genuinely clued-in staff all add up to a rare sense of ease: you can finally relax and order what you want, not just what feels 'safe.' There’s something deeply reassuring about eating here, where cross-contact is treated as seriously as flavor (and trust me, both are top-notch).
