PIZZERIA OLIVA

The menu includes several vegetarian pizzas, such as Vegetariana and Artichokes, that can be made vegan by omitting cheese. A pasta option, Šurle Pomodoro, 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.

The menu includes multiple vegetarian pizza options: Margherita, Vegetariana, Funghi, Artichokes, Quattro Formaggio, and others, plus pasta dishes. Salads and sides are clearly labelled. The kitchen is shared, but vegetarian dishes are straightforward, and staff are accustomed to accommodating requests.

Several menu items are naturally dairy-free, including Šurle Pomodoro pasta, some salads, and 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 that 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 preparation is not mentioned.

The menu explicitly marks dishes that contain shellfish, naming Mare Nostrum, Oliva, and Mussels pizzas, along with Šurle Oliva pasta. Multiple menu items use Adritatic shrimps and mussels. The venue's allergen notice states that 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.

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

The pizza Rucola is explicitly stated to contain nuts in the pesto sauce, and the Mortadella pizza uses pistachio cream. 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.

No source explicitly discusses egg content at Pizzeria Oliva. The dough, slow-fermented for 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.

The venue does not claim to cater to low-FODMAP diets. The dough uses standard Italian 00 wheat flour, and garlic and onion appear frequently in items like pomodoros, pesto, and so on. 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.

The venue is a pizza and pasta restaurant. Neither its menu nor any other source mentions keto-friendly alternatives such as cauliflower crust or low-carb options. Almost all dishes are high in carbohydrates from wheat flour. This venue is not suitable for a keto diet.
