Per-allergen evidence
PizzaExpress holds Coeliac UK accreditation. The chain provides menus with gluten-free items marked. Dedicated pizza ovens and preparation areas are used, along with separate purple pizza cutters and gluten-free stickers to identify orders. Staff at most branches receive relevant training. Gluten-free pizza bases come in two sizes. The menu also includes gluten-free pasta, dough balls, desserts, and a few sides. The kitchen uses rice flour, not wheat flour, for dusting all pizzas. Gluten-free orders are typically handled with dedicated equipment. The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Its standardised protocols and accreditation make it a reliable choice for coeliac dining across UK branches.
