Vapiano Pitt Street

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Vapiano Australia marks GF items on the menu and offers GF pasta (+$2) and GF pizza base (+$5). Multiple coeliac diners across Australian branches report knowledgeable staff, glove changes, and fresh water/separate pans for GF pasta. However, no dedicated kitchen exists, no dedicated fryer, and the pizza oven is shared — the menu itself states GF pizza is 'not suitable for coeliacs' due to cross-contamination. One serious incident was reported where a coeliac diner's pasta dish was served with regular bread, then the bread was simply removed and the plate returned rather than the dish being remade. Community aggregate data from FindMeGlutenFree confirms 'no dedicated kitchen' and 'no dedicated fryer' as the dominant reported safety features. GF pasta is generally considered the safer choice; GF pizza is not coeliac-safe.

Honest caveat: Multiple reviewers confirm GF pizza is baked in the same oven as regular pizza and is explicitly labelled on the menu as not suitable for coeliacs; a separate incident documented staff removing bread from a GF order and re-serving the contaminated dish rather than remaking it.
