Fantastic gluten free menu with lots of choice. I've ordered from the gf menu multiple times, have never had any cross contamination issues & trust the kitchen completely. Best yet, choices of breaded & deep fried items! Wonton soup! Multiple noodle options! A great option for gf meals
Attention to all my GF friends and fellow Celiacs - I can’t recommend this Gondola Pizza location enough. I never would’ve imagined the service and assurance that I received from them. I placed an order online and in the notes, put that I was celiac. Within 5 minutes, I received a phone call from the owner explaining that he is also celiac and that he will personally make my food! He also threw in some gf chicken tenders for me to try and I’m so glad that he did, because they were delicious!! Just having the opportunity to feel normal ordering delicious delivery pizza, is like a dream. Thank you for all the options on your GF menu, and more importantly keeping me safe! Appreciate you, Gondola!
Ordered probably half the menu by now. My favourite thing surprisingly is the tofu and I order it every time. I’m celiac and love how comprehensive the menu is. Most gf menus eliminate more than half the options. Actually forgot to order one dish (via skip) gluten free and they called to double check. I spent a lot but so good I always order a lot! 10 out of 10!
If you're looking for a gentrified burger spot this is the place to go lol. But I feel like the local Burger spots provide a similar level of quality and more quantity at a lower price.
The gluten-free bun was quite good though. It's more like a thick tortilla than what most people would call a bun. But definitely enjoyed it.

Visited for the first time, initially planned to do carry out but decided to eat in as it was quiet.
Service was fast and extremely pleasant. There was a slight mix up with one item ordered, but it was swiftly taken care of without issue.
Food was delicious, and for me personally, finding good gluten free (celiac safe) options can be a challenge - I will definitely be returning here as the honey glazed garlic chicken (GF) was devine!
Customer service was first class.
Definitely recommend!!
I've ordered from Frankie's a few times and it has always been delicious! My last experience with them was above and beyond however: I have a gluten allergy and after a mixup when ordering through doordash a gluten version of my order was sent with the courier.
Frankie's realized this and called me to correct the situation before my original order had even arrived! At no extra cost and without my needing to ask they prepared the proper dish and deliveries it to me directly. This was on a Saturday night, but despite how busy restaurants are on weekends my replacement dish arrived literally within 5 minutes of my original order.
I have not received this level of professional care from a restaurant in years and cannot praise it enough. If you are gluten intolerant and gunshy about eating out as a result, I can personally say that their gluten free alternatives are delicious and the staffing really truly cares about it as well.
Thanks, Frankie's!
Amazing place and great service. Is like a subway for pizza. Pick your dough, ingredients and watch it go into the fire stove. They also have dietary options and the gluten-free dough is really good. Freash topping tasted great.

We dropped in here for some drinks and appetizers. We tried the fully-loaded crispy potatoes, beet-humus dip, and fries +dips. The fully-loaded potatoes were so incredibly good I ended up ordering two. The dish was cooked three ways, crisp, balanced flavor, and some added kick from the Jalapeno. The beet hummus was okay but could have used more seasoning. I tried the watermelon sling that tasted light, I would've maybe preferred it have more tangy/sour flavor, but it was still good. My friend loved her margaritas. Our waitress was quite pushy to make us leave when the restaurant was practically empty 🙃. However, another waitress made up for it when she brought us shots for a life event we were celebrating🎉. I'd definitely come here again and try more dishes. I'd highly recommend the fully-loaded potatoes. The menu surprisingly had many gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Good gluten free options. Avoid the "Vegan nutella" -it gives me soar belly every time (even though they insist it is gluten free. I think nobody asks for it so it goes bad in the bottle.
Had their heartbeet bowl for a gluten-free option. It was delicious and gorgeous to look at before digging in. It looked so good I was interrupted 3 times early in my meal to be asked what I had ordered, it looked so appetizing. Staff was cool and accommodating to my questions about gluten-free options.
The food was good. The service was great. The waitress was very knowledgeable in regard to gluten-free items. They have many GF options, and they even have a separate fryer.
I believe the supervisor’s name is Gurman who we had a very pleasant experience with. He is an amazing employee and he catered to our need as my wife has celiac.
One of our fav spots in Winnipeg. Extremely Celiac friendly with dedicated fryers for GF! Lovely service and always reccomend coming here. Thanks Paige H. For the best swrvice!
we really enjoyed the patio, very quick service. love that they have an enclosed portion of the patio, and a fully outdoor side. our food was great, gluten free petite steak and fries was great. good happy hour menu as well! our server was very knowledgeable on gluten free items and was accomodating.
Great experience here, staff are amazing, everyone is friendly and happy to help. Our server was the best! Super knowledgeable and fast. The staff took my gluten allergy very seriously! Food was delicious! Would highly recommend if you want amazing food with amazing service!
The food is always great, but they took the celiac and peanut/treenut allergy more serious than any resturant me and my family have been to, so much so that the chef came out and confirmed our plates were given to us in the right order so the celiac person didn't get what they werent supposed to. Just amazing care. And with the peanut/tree nut allergy person, they got both chefs to check on certain items, just outstanding.
This is why I go back! Love this Keg.
What can I say, these folks know how to do steak.
Unfortunately for me, I'm celiac so need to be careful. They have a few gluten-free items on the menu and many more that can be modified to be GF.
My steak was medium, the perfect temp on my plate, and I'm fairly certain we didn't talk during the meal, but we definitely enjoyed them.
The significant other has lobster. She was in heaven.
We skipped dessert.
The only downside, and it really wasn't, was that there was a lineup, and the hostess stated we might be waiting 45 mins without a reservation. We were only waiting about 20mins while we enjoyed our Mushrooms Neptune appetizer at the bar (GF, they didn't have the potato puffs, GF on the menu), and our wine pairings were perfect.
Bonus: AWESOME bar staff and table service!
Four stars for the atmosphere is how hectic it seemed. Tight spacing and constantly moving with purpose staff, detract from a relaxing environment, but that's not anyone's fault. Maybe because we were on the 'bar side' once seated at our table.
Also not a place for those who might be watching their budget. We had a gift card and easily doubled that.
The waitress was kind and patient with my niece. It did take her a while to come back to our table throughout the night and it wasn't a busy night. I had a chicken rice bowl that was extremely delicious. I was also delighted that they had a gluten-free brownie available.
A Mixed Bag with a Strong Finish
We recently visited Santa Lucia Pizza with a party of nine—my parents, my wife, our three kids, two friends, and myself. Our plan was to arrive around 5:30 PM, with my parents getting there early to secure a table and place our order so the food would be ready by the time the rest of us arrived. Unfortunately, the visit got off to a rocky start.
Upon arriving early, my parents requested a table for our full party. However, they were told by a female manager that, due to company policy, they could not be seated until everyone had arrived. While we understand that some restaurants operate this way, the situation could have been handled more professionally. The restaurant was far from full at the time, yet my parents were made to wait for more than 10 minutes with no accommodation or courtesy extended.
When we did arrive, my dad was still speaking with the same manager, who responded to his concerns with a rude tone and dismissive attitude. Instead of offering an understanding ear or solution, she made a pointed comment about how this situation could have been avoided if we had made a reservation—essentially placing blame on my father. As someone who has worked in the service industry for years, I found this incredibly unprofessional.
To make matters worse, when I went to the host stand to ask whether gratuity would be automatically included for our large group, I overheard this same manager speaking about my dad to the hostess—clearly referencing him in a less-than-respectful tone. That kind of behavior is absolutely not what you expect from someone in a management position, especially in hospitality.
Thankfully, the experience took a turn for the better once we were seated. Our server, Carly, was a breath of fresh air—warm, bubbly, attentive, and professional throughout. She took the time to ensure all our needs were met and brought a sense of ease to the table, especially after the rocky start.
A special shout-out goes to Danic, a male manager who came out personally after we informed Carly that my wife has celiac disease. He reassured us that her meal would be carefully prepared and took time to explain the steps the kitchen would take to ensure her safety. His personal attention and thoughtful approach were greatly appreciated and went a long way in restoring our confidence in the restaurant.
I called later in the evening just to let Danic know he and Carlly did a wonderful job but was was first met with the female manager who again shared a very aggressive and short tone with me. Once I talked with Danic he was so personable and grateful for the call.
In the end, while the beginning of our evening was marked by disappointment and frustration due to the behavior of one staff member, the dining experience itself—thanks to Carly and Danic—was very positive. The food was great, and the service (once we were seated) was excellent.
Final Verdict:
⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (3/5 stars)
Santa Lucia Pizza has potential and some standout staff members, but their customer service—especially from management—needs improvement. A more respectful and empathetic approach from all team members would have made this a 5-star experience.
Delicious pizza.
Needed one gluten free for my wife who is celiac. They were super helpful and even called back explaining the flavor of pizza I chose had gluten in a topping so I could swap it out for another meat.
Was around $90 for two extra large pizzas and one medium gluten free.
Beautiful restaurant in a great area. Our server Thor was incredibly resourceful and on top of things. I had the arugula burrata salad, and it was not my favourite thing I’ve ever had. I really did not enjoy the tomatoes in it, maybe I had a bad batch but they were so mushy, way too salty, and tasted rancid. I had to pick them all out they were terrible. I really enjoyed the burrata especially with the gluten free toast. It looked better than the baguette it is supposed to come with, and it was very crunchy. The rest of the salad was okay, but I couldn’t get past the tomatoes.

Went for a work trip dinner, and it was very tasty! My coworkers with no food allegiance allergies really liked the mushrooms and ribs appies.
Had multiple gluten-free and some gluten and dairy free options. Fryer is nominally gluten-free, but they fry a lot of shellfish in it. They even had GF vegan carrot cake as a dessert option, which was a pleasant surprise.
Never again.
Server was outstanding.
Manager...not so much.
Why put out voucher for 15 dollars off of your meal then don't let you use them?
I got a voucher from a friend went to have lunch and when finished the manager wouldn't honor it.
When I asked the server she looked into it and was even puzzled.. the manager said not till next year.
We both asked where does it say that on here..
He said the person who bought the gift cards would have been told that... How the hell am I supposed to know that? Lol.
Server even agreed it was wrong. But I'm not going to fault her for that..
The gluten free pizza was mediocre at best.. .
Pizza hotline makes a better one for sure. But I won't be going back here. Il go to Bellisimo or Frankie's instead. Their people are always awesome ...

Nancy D is an amazing server. Any questions we had she was able to answer or ask the kitchen to ensure our meal was fully considerate for gluten free(celiac disease). We had the build your own grand slam and Santa Fe skillet, both were delicious! Overall an awesome experience and we will definitely be returning soon.

This place is an unpretentious approach to amazing food and excellent organic wines. Their gluten free menu is anmazing and very accommodating for people with celiac. You don’t feel like you’re missing out at all! Luc was so knowledgeable and make our experience fabulous.
We are very happy with the service offered by Jody and her staff.
We received a sincere apology and generous compensation for an online order miscommunication, which wasn't ready at the promised pickup time.
However, the staff assured me that the now fully replaced order would be ready in good time, and it was.
The food was extremely fresh and that includes the GlutenWise Grillled chicken clubhouse, the two garden salads, and the two Boston-sized burgers. And the 2 GF brownies were excellent!
This location has shown sincere integrity and respect for its customers and that means a lot.
We will happily return to this one.
Today I ordered the house salad with the roasted red pepper soup. The soup was delicious and so was the salad that was brought out. As I was eating my friend pointed out that it was actually a caesar salad. Once I brought this to the waitress attention she was more than happy to swap out the correct salad. Normally I would not say anything and just continue to enjoy the food I am eating but I was already having a bad day and I decided I desreved what I ordered. Boy was I happy to have made this choice, the dressing was amazing and I will definitely order the house salad again. I also got a chocolate torte to go because it is the most delicious moist gluten-free thing I've eaten. If you have not tried this before, do! Or try the carrot cake because it's also amazing.
Outstanding service. The server was friendly and the manager visited our table twice to check on our experience. Gluten free easily accommodated. Highly recommend a visit to Moxie’s. Exceeded expectations.
We went for the first time on Saturday night and it was spectacular! Not just the food, but also the staff and service. I am celiac and everything was explained and there were many gluten free options. We had a wonderful experience and will be back!
Had a great experience here. Service is prompt and courteous. Very professional. Server took and filled the orders exactly as requested including special gluten allergy requirements all by memory. The food was also carefully prepared to our liking and was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place for all ages and palates. We will be back again soon.

Went for lunch with a friend and was saddened to find that their dedicated fryer for gluten free items is no longer. They said it wasn’t as high demand so they converted it to regular use. Shame because it was a great place to go with a number of options. Had the beet salad and Club lite on a gf bun today.
Not many options for those who need to eat gluten free because of an allergy.
Love this place so much! Service is amazing, they really care about the customers. Food is great and they have good gluten free options and substitutions. One of my favourite brunch spots!
My cousin is gluten intolerant and our server, 1049 Bayliegh, was extremely careful, knowledgeable and patient. She checked out every entree my cousin was considering. The result was an enjoyable and safe lunch. We were very impressed.
Amazing place, and they even have a gluten-free menu. The food is wonderful, and I would recommend the poached eggs. The only thing I have noticed is that their serving sizes have been shrinking over the years but still amazing.
I have a gluten intolerance and ordered the penne primavera with gluten free fussili instead of penne. I spoke with the manager over the phone to ensure they were aware of my allergy. My fiancé picked up the order and again confirmed that it was made with gluten free pasta. When he got home and we opened up the package I saw it was made with regular penne which is not gluten free. I called and spoke to the manager and she confirmed that the order was entered in correctly, the kitchen just didn’t read it. This is extremely irresponsible as allergies need to be taken seriously. I’ve ordered from here before so I know what their gluten free pasta looks like but someone else may have just assumed it was gluten free and eaten it. I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 because the manager did send out a new order, but they put my health at risk by sending me food I informed them I’m allergic to. I think I should have been offered something, like a gift card, to make up for the irresponsibility of sending me food I’m allergic to and the inconvenience of having to wait an additional 30 minutes for my food. I understand it was Mother’s Day and they may have been busy but there is no excuse for make errors when it comes to allergies. I don’t think I’ll be back.
Interesting menu, good food, good range of gluten free options. What's not to like?
I had the Bull Burger and the Butternut Squash Soup - sooo good :-)
