Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria has a gluten smart crust that you can order with your pizza's.
Famoso has the following disclaimer about the crust:
"Although our flour is gluten-free, there is a risk of gluten exposure as they are prepared in a shared kitchen. Daiya vegan cheese is available as a substitution for Mozzarella at no cost."
Note that their regular crust is "low gluten" from a highly refined flour, but that is not their gluten free crust. They have a separate gluten free crust, so be sure to not confuse the two.
Famoso does keep an allergen chart on their menu. Look for the PDF download icon on the right side of the menu. Here is a link to the allergen chart currently on the Famoso website as of July 28, 2025.
One one of our most recent visits we ordered their delicious meat pizza.
They also will use their gluten free friendly crust to make an order of gluten free flat bread which is delicious as well. The flat bread came with a tasty hummus and taziki.
A few tips when visiting Famoso for a pizza:
- Always ask the server for the latest gluten free allergen info.
- Pizza places are a high risk contamination kitchen with flying flour everywhere. Be sure to ask the server about cross contamination and preparation protocols to ensure your food is prepared as safe as possible.
- Call ahead! Make sure the staff understand any of your food prep concerns before you go to the restaurant. You should feel confident when eating out.

ReplyDeleteWhen I inquired, Famosa staff said the GF pizzas were placed on the same oven surface as the regular pizzas. Since they are on the oven surface without a pan, there is a lot of flour from the regular pizzas to cross contaminate them. Not an option for Celiacs, but perhaps for less sensitive.
