I very much appreciate the awareness and sensitivity to allergens here. They were able to do no salt fresh cut fries for me! Yes!!!! My friend is gluten-intolerant and has random intense reactions when he goes out at times, so he asked if cross-contamination could be minimized, and all the young staff here didn't bat an eye at ensuring they all knew to treat his gluten intolerance seriously and treated his request respectfully. Am very impressed that all diners are welcome here. This isn't a typical BBQ restaurant! - US Army Veteran who has eaten here many times during events for veterans' organizations

This Thai food is so delicious!! They had a ton of gluten free accommodations and the service was wonderful. Some of the best Thai food I’ve had in the DMV with sensible pricing. Definitely would recommend for a lunch bite or dinner.

Super tasty pho nam and pho ga! Nicely al denote noodles, nice quality meat, flavorful broth. The menu says gluten-free but the waitress wasn’t able to confirm whether the unmarked hoisin sauce was gluten-free (the red pepper sauce as marked gluten-free). Restaurant was on par with other pho shops re cleanliness and decor.

Deliciously simple and fresh, free yummy coffee, and gluten free options. What more can I ask for? Great staff, talk to them and see how kind they are. The music could be a little lower but I was there early at opening so the place was empty. I had the breakfast taco with an egg and chorizo. Orders for later include tacos de carnitas and carne asada. I didn't get to try them cuz my son gobbled them up. I also order nachos, and asked to give me the wet ingredients separate to reheat later. Reheated the nachos and added the ingredients. ¡Muá! ¡Riquísimo,!

10/10 for service, knowledge and dietary restrictions accomodations. Our family has someone will at least one of all the following allergies: xantham gum, soy, cilantro, gluten, dairy, and vegan. The staff were incredibly knowledgable and patient. They looked at ingredientes and double checked information. Their menú had a variety of options that could be modified. Breading was corn based which was great for Gluten Free. We ate there two times in a weekend because food was so good and because everyone could eat there. Sandwiches, pizza, wings, lamb bread, all were delicious! Will definitely be a staple when visiting DC.

Our favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant. The food is always delicious - from the brick oven pizza (even the gluten free is tasty) to my husband’s favorite Lobster Bisque! Waitstaff is welcoming, helpful and each one takes a personal interest in assuring you have what you want. The Owner engages in conversation with customers. Their occasional buffets are full of seafood. A recent remodel of the bar area makes carry out much easier and even provided a couple more tables. There is a small semi-private area for groups. We are moving away soon and will certainly miss Pieros.

Nice, good quality local diner food. They even have gluten free toast, which was not advertised on the menu or website anywhere. I only subtracted one star because of all the up-charges (for GF bread, egg whites instead of eggs, and turkey sausage instead of regular sausage). I understand all of them except for the sausage up-charge. But I would still go back to try the grits and a couple other food items. Service was very fast and friendly. The place was packed when we went but it still wasn’t too loud for us to have a normal conversation, which was nice.

Good fresh food! They also have jackfruit! Staff took a long time to acknowledge customers standing in line but were quick to prepare the food. Despite having windows, the place was dark feeling. Vegetarian restaurant and many vegan and gluten free options. They also let you know what foods have soy or tree nuts.

So many options to choose from and their gluten free bread is amazing! Great customer service, they forget to warm my sandwich sometimes but I’ll still eat it or warm it myself. 😁 Wish they’d wipe the tables down more often but still recommend a visit to this location!

We were on vacation in the DC area and after a long car ride and checking into our hotel we ventured forth for food. Deciding on pizza because it was quick we ended up at Mr. Pepperoni. The owner was super nice, and the food came out quick and was amazing(french fries, garlic bread, cheese pizza, and a gluten free veggie pizza. My fiance says her gluten free pizza was the best she has ever had. We definitely plan on going again if we find ourselves in the area again!

Just had dinner here. Everyone was extremely helpful and kind. I have Celiac Disease and although their menu doesn't specify the gluten free options, the staff knew my restrictions and knew their menu well. They were extremely helpful and made me feel welcomed. I should have taken a picture of my food. But I was too hungry 🤣 but their Old Fashioned was on point too!

Best pho in the east coast. Get the D2 Hue combo. I've eaten at dozens of Pho places and it is unique and delishious. The guy that runs the place is the nicest. Almost everything is gluten free including the fried spring rolls! The best sit down restaurant I've ever been to for ASD hypersensitivity. Staff is quiet and unobtrusive. No music. Great spacing between tables.

Superb food! The portions are large and the prices are great! The food is fresh as well. It's a small restaurant that focuses on the food instead of the exterior. It is a mom and pop establishment. It is gluten free friendly and has vegetarian options. The gyro meat is so juicy! The wings are delicious. Their salad is everything. Please support local businesses. This place puts chain "Greek fusion" restaurants to shame.

Quiet monday evening dinner. Great vegan food. Veggie combo of 7 dishes was delicious! $22 for mesir wot, kik alicha, shiro, beets, cabbage, fosolia, gomen. The food came out so quickly. They make the injera themselves and it is very fresh and soft. (You can also buy a bag og 8 pieces for $7, it's 100% gluten free). Got to chat with the owner who happened to be working that shift, and he explained the place just newly opened up and got totally renovated a month ago (September 2024). They have wifi and very cozy places to work, including a quieter upstairs space/lounge. They also have hookah.
