No animal products are used anywhere on the menu, making cross-contamination with animal-derived ingredients structurally impossible from the kitchen's own ingredients.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The venue offers a dedicated Gluten Free Menu (separate PDF linked from the menu page) and notes 'several of our dishes have gluten free versions available'. However, this is not a 100% gluten-free kitchen — regular (gluten-containing) pizzas and pastas are also prepared. No information is available about dedicated prep areas, separate fryers, or staff training for coeliac safety. Shared kitchen cross-contamination risk applies.
