Luigi’s Ristorante and Pizzeria now serves gluten-free pizza and pasta. They use a rice flour pizza crust that is purchased from a vendor and their gluten-free penne pasta can be topped with any of their gluten-free sauces, including the Alfredo sauce.

When our server came to the table, I asked him several questions about the gluten-free pizza and a couple questions about the procedures used in the kitchen to prevent cross contamination. I wasn’t successful obtaining answers about cross contamination prevention in enough detail to make me feel comfortable. However, I had heard from several people that they had a good experience so I ordered the gluten-free cheese pizza.

The server must have grabbed my pizza out of the oven and brought it directly to the table because it was piping hot. The sauce was delicious and my pizza was loaded with cheese. While the pizza crust is not my favorite, I’ve spoken with a number of people who think it’s the best available.

The pizza was good and I had no unfortunate symptoms of gluten consumption. I’m anxious to go back and try the pasta with same yummy sauce that was on my pizza.
