Celiac Safety Score

Moderate Safety

Palermo Pizza & Pasta offers a familiar comfort for anyone craving Italian classics with gluten-free twists, but celiac diners should proceed with extra caution. While their menu marks gluten-free options and staff are willing to answer questions, the kitchen does not use separate ovens or utensils for gluten-free pizzas and cooks GF pasta in the same water as regular pasta. That means cross-contact is a real risk—honestly, it's one of those places where folks with wheat allergies or mild sensitivities might get by, but for celiacs, it's a gamble. The staff's flexibility and friendliness are nice, but without dedicated prep areas or strict protocols, true peace of mind is tough to come by here.
