Hands down, one of the *best* gluten-free crusts I have ever had. It's thin, crispy, and holds together beautifully, which is fortunate seeing as this place does not skimp on toppings. The sauce is well made and seasoned. This is not a sit-down restaurant, but it is 100% worth finding parking.

My group had an absolute blast. Our main server was Sam and he was amazing. All of the other waiters and watresses were checking on us, making sure everything was good. Our water glasses were never left empty. The food was amazing. We even had a person in our group with celiac, but it wasn't a struggle bc their sauces are gluten free and they have gluten-free noodles to substitute. We had a birthday in our group, and the staff gave her a birthday card and signed their names, which was so sweet and awesome. We had a great time and will be returning the next time we're in Newport Beach.

Absolutely amazing!!! The gluten-free Pennette Piccanti is amazing, flavorful, and definitely worth the price. And speaking of the price it's not too bad. Do yourself a favor, go here, and get amazing gluten-free food, and love your life after you eat it.

We had a delicious lunch at Z Pizza! We are from out of town and were walking through the plaza trying to find a place to eat, and met the owner, Luis. What a genuinely friendly and generous man!! We enjoyed a delicious pizza and great conversation and stories with Luis. Our daughter was so happy they had such a yummy gluten free pizza - those are hard to find!! We wish we lived closer so we could come back often!! Great customer service, great food, and a great memory for our family! Thanks Luis!

My parents starting taking me to OSF when I was a child and we have gone as a family throughout the years and it has always been a favorite. We went for the first time since Covid expecting a delicious meal and we were sorely disappointed. I am now gluten free and the GF pasta was hard and basically not edible. The regular pasta meal that my family member ate they said was lacking in flavor and didn't taste the same, it was a smaller portion and the bread was flat and dry. It was $50 for two meals.

Went here for 3 different meals over the course of two days once they opened. Wow - so good! The pineapple pizza was so good. The zucchini crust option is also really good if you want gluten free or low carb. Love their healthy fresh options. The atmosphere is totally lovely right on the dock in Lido and service was great - especially Luke and Esperanza!

We've been here twice. The menu is extensive, the staff is fantastic, and the food is artfully presented and very tasty. Most dishes can be prepared gluten-free -- ask your server. The restaurant is very small with only one outside table.

Good food. Easy to eat gluten and dairy free here. Be careful if you order a hot coffee not to burn your tongue/throat on it... Ours was finally drinkable when it was time to go. It was good though!

What a phenomenal dining experience. We went in to celebrate our year Anniversary. The service was impeccable. Our server Luke went above and beyond for us. We ate the lobster bisque and both ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. Everything was outstanding. To top it off, our server brought out a chocolate cake and a Creme brûlée for me as I’m gluten free on the house for our Anniversary. I would go back again in a heart beat. Great dining experience.
