Clay Cafe in the City | Pottery Café and Tapa's Bar

The venue offers GF pizza and pasta options, but the GF pizza is cooked in the same oven as regular pizza, creating a high risk of cross-contamination. No dedicated fryer is reported. The official menu does not mark GF items. One coeliac reviewer reports a shared oven; another mentions stone-baked GF pizza without specifying safety protocols.
