Don Giovanni contemporary italian and pizzeria

I went to the restaurant in person to order a GF pizza as my husband has celiac disease and gets violently ill for eating gluten along with damage to his intestines. Celiac is a serious autoimmune disease. He has had pizza and gf meals at Don Giovanni's previously with no issue. I got home and he ate most of a slice and asked me to try it. It was too good to be GF. I called and then had to drive back 25 minutes to get a refund. The owner apologized and was empathetic, but we will never be back. My husband has already started with the side effects . I warn all Gluten Intolerant and those with Celiac not to dine at Giovanni's. If you have no GF issues, then it's fine.

We were really disappointed tonight. I had just flown in from Costa Rica—3.5 hours in the air, then drove from Orlando to Ormond—with one goal: to feed my family of five from what looked like a safe, gluten-free friendly local spot. I have Hashimoto’s and celiac disease, so I carefully researched this restaurant as a go-to option. Their website says they close at 9 PM. I spent time reviewing the online menu, even though it doesn’t clearly label gluten-free items, and called at 8:30 to place a takeout order. I was told the kitchen was already closed. I was five minutes away. That’s completely unacceptable. As someone who owns a service-based business and has worked in both front and back of house in restaurants, this is not how you do business. If you post a 9 PM closing time, your kitchen should stay open until 9 PM. Cleaning happens after hours, not before. The woman who answered the phone was polite and apologized, but this goes beyond manners—it’s about poor operations and a lack of respect for paying customers. We were ready to spend over $100 tonight. Instead, we left hungry and frustrated. This was a huge letdown and not the welcome home I had hoped for.
