Ballaboosta restaurant in 289 Halifax St

Ballaboosta

The official menu offers a gluten-free pizza base for an extra charge, and aggregator profiles tag 'gluten free options' as a feature. However, the menu is not systematically marked, no cross-contamination mitigations are described, and the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes (flatbreads, cracked wheat, vermicelli rice). An Atly community page notes 'some risk of cross-contamination'. A 2017 blog suggests many dishes are inherently gluten-free, but the kitchen practice details are stale. Call ahead to discuss your needs before visiting.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Multiple sources tag the venue as having vegetarian options, and the menu lists several dishes that appear vegetarian (e.g., dips, salads, pizza without meat). The menu is not marked for vegetarian dishes, and no specific kitchen practice for vegetarian preparation is described. Ask staff for guidance.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
