PIZZERIA OLIVA

The menu lists several vegetarian pizzas that can be made vegan by omitting cheese (e.g. Vegetariana, Artichokes) and there is a pasta option (Šurle Pomodoro) that is dairy-free. The kitchen does not use vegan cheese, so pizzas arrive without any cheese substitute. Multiple HappyCow reviewers confirm the venue will customise dishes to be vegan, including removing cheese from pizzas and offering garlic bread with olive oil. The venue operates from a shared kitchen with no dedicated vegan prep area, but staff are reportedly accommodating.

Vegetarian

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu has multiple vegetarian pizza options (Margherita, Vegetariana, Funghi, Artichokes, Quattro Formaggio, etc.) and pasta dishes. Salads and sides are also clearly labelled. The shared kitchen is used, but vegetarian dishes are straightforward; staff are accustomed to accommodating requests.

Dairy-free

confidence 65% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Several menu items are naturally dairy-free (Šurle Pomodoro pasta, some salads, garlic bread). Pizza can be ordered without cheese (mozzarella fior di latte), and the menu lists dairy-containing items separately. However, the kitchen is shared and the menu warning states 'every pizza and pasta has gluten or lactose which can cause an allergic reaction,' suggesting dairy is present throughout most of the kitchen. Dedicated equipment for dairy-free prep is not mentioned.

marked menu

Shellfish-free

confidence 60% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu explicitly marks dishes containing shellfish (Mare Nostrum, Oliva, Mussels pizzas; Šurle Oliva pasta). Multiple menu items use Adritatic shrimps and mussels. The venue's allergen notice states marked meals contain fish or shellfish. No dedicated shellfish-free prep area is noted, but the labelling is clear and staff can identify safe dishes on request.

marked menu

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 60% ·

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.

Pizzeria Oliva offers a gluten-free pizza and pasta menu, and states that extra care is taken during preparation. However dishes are made in a shared kitchen where gluten is present, and the venue explicitly says it cannot guarantee the complete absence of cross-contamination. It is not recommended for coeliac disease. One recent reviewer reports GF pizza is available but that the venue has no dedicated fryer and is not safe for coeliacs. Another old review states GF was no longer offered, but the current website contradicts that. This is a best-effort option only for gluten intolerance, not for autoimmune coeliac.

Honest caveat: Venue explicitly states GF dishes are prepared in a kitchen where gluten is present and cannot guarantee absence of cross-contamination; not recommended for coeliac disease.

Nut-free

confidence 55% ·

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 menu contains at least one item (pizza Rucola) explicitly stated to contain nuts in the pesto sauce. The kitchen also uses pistachio cream on the Mortadella pizza. No dedicated nut-free prep area is noted, and the venue does not offer a nut-free menu or claim to manage nut allergens beyond ingredient labelling. A nut-allergic diner should call ahead to confirm which items can be safely modified.

marked menu

Egg-free

confidence 45% ·

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.

No source explicitly discusses egg content. The dough (slow-fermented 48 hours without additives) likely does not contain egg, but the menu does not mark egg-free items and no staff training around egg allergy is documented. The pizza Mortadella and pasta with cream may contain egg. Diners with egg allergy should verify with the kitchen.

Low-FODMAP

confidence 30% ·

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 venue does not claim to cater to low-FODMAP diets. The dough uses standard Italian 00 wheat flour, garlic and onion appear frequently (pomodoros, pesto, etc.), and many pizzas use mozzarella and cream. No low-FODMAP options are noted on the menu or by reviewers. A diner following a low-FODMAP diet would need to carefully select a limited subset of items and confirm with staff.

Keto

confidence 40% ·

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.

The venue is a pizza and pasta restaurant. No keto-friendly alternatives (cauliflower crust, low-carb options) are mentioned on the menu or by any source. Almost all dishes are high in carbohydrates from wheat flour. This venue is not suitable for a keto diet.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
