Celiac safety assessment and key features

55%
Moderate

Arlington Cafe offers a tempting range of Italian comfort foods, and it’s clear from the menu that their gluten-free pizza crust has fans—always a hopeful sign for those of us constantly on the lookout for safe, satisfying options. But here’s the thing: aside from a mention of gluten-free crust in a customer’s comment, there’s no sign of dedicated prep areas, staff training, or cross-contamination protocols anywhere on the site. If you’re celiac, you know how crucial it is to have more than just a ‘gluten-free’ label—you need real assurance behind the scenes. So while the flavors might be inviting, I’d tread carefully and ask plenty of questions before ordering.
