Acova is strongly trusted for gluten-free dining. The owner has coeliac disease, and staff (including a server with coeliac) are knowledgeable. Multiple dedicated gluten-free fryers are reported. The official menu marks items as GF (gluten‑free) and GFO (gluten‑free option). The kids menu states all items can be prepared gluten‑free.

Marco's Coal Fired | Ballpark

GF·CoeliacA
VeganB
VegE

A dedicated gluten-free pizza oven, separate prep area, and knowledgeable staff make this one of the safer options for coeliac diners. The menu marks GF items clearly, including specialty pizzas. However, the kitchen shares space with regular pizzas, and some diners have reported reactions. The gluten-free flour used (Caputo Fiore Glut) contains wheat starch, which may not suit all coeliacs.

Honest caveat, Some coeliac diners report reactions; the use of wheat starch may also be an issue for wheat-allergic individuals.

Menu items are clearly marked as gluten-free. Staff are knowledgeable about cross-contamination protocols. The in-house bakery is 100% gluten-free. However, some items, such as buns, are toasted on a shared grill with gluten-containing sourdough, which poses a cross-contact risk. The owner states the cafe is 100% gluten-free except for the sourdough. That sourdough is handled in a designated area. The attentive staff are recommended for communicating dietary needs.

Several menu items are marked GF. Staff are generally knowledgeable about gluten, but the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes and there is no dedicated fryer.

The Walnut Room in Denver marks gluten-free items on its menu with a GF notation. These options include pizza made with Udi's crust, sandwiches served on a gluten-free baguette, and a flourless chocolate torte. An extra charge applies to gluten-free selections.

Some reviewers mention a dedicated gluten-free fryer and staff who change gloves for gluten-free orders, though one diner noted the waiter appeared unsure about cross-contamination risks. The venue's website and a local celiac organization confirm that expanded gluten-free options are available. For coeliac diners, the level of commitment to safety varies, so calling ahead to discuss preparation is recommended.

Fox And The Hen marks gluten-free items on its menu and offers its own GF bread, but the kitchen is shared and uses a common fryer for potatoes with no dedicated toaster—cross-contamination is a real risk.

Several menu items are marked GF on the online menu. These include all masala dishes and burgers with gluten-free buns. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items. Regular fries share a fryer, but sweet potato fries have a dedicated fryer. Staff knowledge is inconsistent.

Menu items are marked GF, but shared fryers and same grill surface for buns create cross-contamination risk. Staff are knowledgeable and will take precautions (glove changes, surface cleaning) when asked. A review warns that not all GF-marked items are actually gluten-free, so confirm with staff. The venue is not a dedicated GF facility.

Honest caveat, Items labeled GF are not always reliably GF, and shared fryers pose cross-contact risk.
