We drive a semi truck and we wanted pizza. I eat gluten free. I looked at the near by places and decided on Puccini's due to the rave reviews about the GF crust. We dropped the trailer at a truck stop and drove about 20 miles. I asked about the different sauces because....I DO NOT like red sauce on my pizza. I decided with the garlic/parm/butter for the sauce ON the pizza. We order our food to go. (Hubby got his own pizza). Our order is ready, we leave, I grab a piece of pizza en route back to our trailer....and the pizza has red sauce on it. I figure maybe there was some miscommunication between the guy at the register and myself. Whatever, we don't have time to go back. We got back to the trailer and now I can see the pizza...it has onions on it - I don't like onions and I did not order onions, I ordered mushrooms because they were fresh and not canned. There were no mushrooms on my pizza. I ordered GF crust, garlic/parm sauce, pepperoni, green pepper, black olives, and mushrooms. Either they gave me someone else's pizza or the cashier was not on his game. The hubby gives his Ultimate Warrior 4 stars. I would love to rate the GF crust however hard to tell with the red sauce on it. I scraped off most the red sauce because the cheese layer slid right off. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to some tasty pizza. - signed Pamela, the disappointed wife.

What a wonderful restaurant! The service was always amazing and welcoming. We stayed in Lexington for a week vacation and appreciated the homestyle cooking Sutton's has. Our family tried almost everything on the menu and were always satisfied. They were also able to accommodate a gluten intolerance. Thank you!

It'd been years since we've eaten here, not because of a bad experience, just because we've got our favorites & we don't stray from those very much. Well we've added this to the list of our favorites. We went there for lunch right at opening. We had the sweetest waitress & the food was fantastic. We were feeling pasta so we ordered from the dinner menu. Our Italian salads were fresh & delicious. We both had versions of spaghetti, with one of them with gluten-free bowtie noodles. They were great & We'll be getting those again. We also had the strawberry cheesecake which we had to order two of so we wouldn't fight over it. It was a lovely meal from beginning to end.

One of the best Italian restaurants in our humble opinions. We were pleasantly surprised they had gluten free pasta. Everything was incredibly flavorful. Apart from the bar section of the restaurant with the TVs, the environment is cozy, warm, and romantic. The night we dined there was a brilliant live music artist serenading the room with piano and sax. We'd definitely recommend and we're already planning our next outing here.

Okay, get ready. This is my first visit to Apollo Pizza. My husband had been here before so after searching nearby our home for a pizza place that didn't have a "cafeteria" feel, and that offered gluten free options (score!), this was it. My standards were set high and kudos to Apollo for meeting them! The service was spot on! We will return!

Absolutely incredible food. Likely some of the best Italian I've had in a long time. Add to the fact the pasta was freshly made! It was perfectly spicy with a wonderful amount of sauce. The cheesecake was gluten free so it had an odd texture but was still delicious. The whip cream on it though, THAT was beyond amazing. Soft, fluffy wonderful delight. Lastly, the fig old fashioned was refreshing and fun. The menu changed since last time but dinner was just as incredible. I promise you'll not be disappointed.

It is hard to find italuan restaurants that offer gluten free pasta but they have a gluten free rotini that you can choose sauce and meat. Always love their salad and they put the coutons on the side so my hubby could add them to his salad.

We eat here fairly often. They have good food at very good prices, especially if you get the lunch special. This location has been one of the places we've been happy to dine in during covid because it's always clean. We also really appreciate their new "gluten friendly" pasta option. For my daughter that has Celiac's, it's great to be able to eat pasta at Fazolis again.

Not only does this restaurant happily accommodate our gluten and dairy free needs, they go above and beyond. I left a nice umbrella there a few months ago and didn't realize it until I was long gone. I called back and asked them to put it up for me and put my name on it. I finally made it back today, thinking that umbrella was long gone because it had been a while. I walked in the door and the hostess immediately recognized me and called me by name, I could not believe she remembered my name! She had my umbrella waiting for me. I am impressed.
