Bella Gusto Italian Deli & Pizzeria

I was coming in to Ocon to visit my dad over dinner time at his memory care facility and knew my sister loves Bella Gusto so I checked out the menu. I’m gluten free and low fodmap so was worried they wouldn’t have anything I could eat. Helpfully on their website were two email addresses so I emailed Elle to ask if they had any gluten free options. She responded within the hour and told me their pinsas were gluten friendly (and cautioned me that they don’t have a gluten free kitchen in case my allergy was serious). I was thinking what the heck is a pinsa?!? But I ordered one with Italian sausage and green pepper and mushrooms and let me tell you, it was heaven! I was afraid the crust was gluten full not friendly because it seemed more like real pizza crust than anything I’ve had in the past two years since going gluten free (it was def not and my stomach felt great after devouring it). It was chewy and crusty at the same time and the sauce was perfect!! And best of all I got to keep it all to myself. Plus it reheated super well in a frying pan on the stove with a lid the next day :) I highly recommend this place for the customer service and the pinsas. I can’t wait to go back and visit my dad (accidentally around lunch or dinner time most likely).

I absolutely love everything about this place! Unfortunately, my husband has to eat gluten - free. I wish there were some options there for him so we could do date night there. GF pizza? Gf noodles? Meat? I know it’d be cross-contaminated, but it would be awesome to have some option. Thanks for considering:)
