When Ordering
🧀 For vegan pizza: Confirm that the cheese used is truly vegan. In some venues, vegan cheese is only available on certain pizzas or upon request.
🌾 For gluten-free: The venues that produce entirely gluten-free are d'Amalfi Senza Glutine and Rolla GlutenFree. Since other venues have mixed kitchens, for celiac or high-level gluten sensitivity, specifically ask the venue about cross-contamination conditions.
📞 General: Menus and opening hours may change; it's best to check current options before visiting.
