Celiac safety assessment and key features
Vinnie's Pizzeria brings a sense of nostalgia and Brooklyn warmth, serving up gluten-free pizza in a lively, classic pizzeria setting. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, staff are consistently described as knowledgeable about celiac safety—using separate pans and utensils for gluten-free pies, and preparing them with care even on busy nights. Still, pizzas are baked in the same oven as their wheat-based cousins, so there's always that little edge of uncertainty about airborne flour. For folks who don't react to trace amounts and are craving a real New York slice experience with friends, it's a spot where you can almost feel 'normal' again—but if you're ultra-sensitive, you might want to keep looking.
