Monte Forte - Neapolitan Pizza (Horsham)
The venue publishes a dedicated allergen menu showing per-dish codes (GF, GFO, DFO, V, VG) and asks guests to speak to the Duty Manager before ordering. However, the kitchen is shared and they explicitly state they cannot guarantee the absence of allergens. There is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen, fryer, or Coeliac UK accreditation noted. This is a reliable marked-menu setup in a shared kitchen – suitable for mild gluten sensitivity but not for autoimmune coeliac who need zero cross-contamination.

Monte Forte lists a separate 'Vegan Pizzas' section on the Deliveroo menu (Marinara and Ortolana) and many dishes on the allergen menu carry a VG code. The kitchen is shared with dairy and meat pizzas, so cross-contamination risk exists. Staff are directed to handle allergen queries via the Duty Manager. Sufficient for most vegan diners who are comfortable in a shared pizza kitchen.

Clear marked-menu options: a dedicated 'MEat Free-Pizza' section on Deliveroo (Margherita, Boscaiola, Bufalina, Bianco Forte, Zola) and salads. The allergen menu confirms V markings. It's a pizza-focused menu with plenty of cheese and vegetable options. Shared kitchen but staff are trained to take allergen requests seriously.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The allergen menu shows DFO (dairy-free option) coding on select dishes. The 'Marinara' pizza (Vegan section) is dairy-free, and several salads can be made without cheese. However, this is a pizza and cheese-focused kitchen with mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola, and bufala used heavily. Dairy-free options exist but are limited and shared preparation areas increase cross-contamination risk.

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.
The allergen menu shows hazelnut and pine nut appear in some dishes (Tartufo e Crudo has pine nuts; the pesto/pine nut dressing for salads). No dedicated nut-free equipment or kitchen. Staff will discuss allergens on request but cross-contamination from nut-containing toppings is possible. Best to call ahead and speak to the Duty Manager if you have a nut allergy.
