Celiac Safety Score

55
Moderate Safety

Michelina's on State offers a decent range of gluten-free options like pizza, pasta, and wings, with marked menu items indicating awareness. However, the lack of a dedicated gluten-free facility and a mixed safety record—highlighted by a celiac guest who got sick—suggest caution. The staff's familiarity with celiac needs, especially from the owner’s personal connection, is promising but not foolproof without dedicated prep areas.
