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

The menu offers a certified vegan cheese replacement (+$2.99) and notes that the whole-wheat Omega-3 dough is vegan. However, the classic dough contains eggs and milk, the kitchen is shared with all allergens, and the venue explicitly states it cannot guarantee any item is free of cross-contamination. No dedicated vegan prep area or marked vegan dishes; customisation is required.

The menu flags pizzas #47, #65, and #71 as containing nuts (pesto with pine nuts) and states they 'may contain traces of other varieties of nuts'. The pesto is also noted to contain nuts. Cross-contamination is possible via shared equipment and the kitchen warns it cannot guarantee allergen absence. Some per-dish nut marking exists, but no dedicated nut-free protocol.

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

The official menu explicitly states that the gluten-sensitive crust contains wheat/gluten, is cooked and prepared in the same kitchen and oven as regular wheat pizzas, and is not recommended for those with coeliac disease or severe gluten intolerance. The Atly community listing categorises the venue as 'Accommodating Gluten-Free' (lowest tier on that platform) and notes cross-contamination risk from shared ovens. No dedicated GF kitchen, no accreditation, and the venue itself advises against dining here for coeliacs.

Honest caveat: The venue’s gluten-sensitive crust is cooked in a shared oven with regular wheat pizzas and is explicitly not recommended for coeliac diners.
