As someone who is gluten free, Calabria Restaurant and Pizzeria is one of the restaurants where I am entirely confident that my food was prepared safely. At Calabria, I never have to worry about what I’m eating.
I have Celiac Disease, which is an autoimmune disease that prohibits me from eating gluten (wheat, barley, and rye). I have to be extremely careful to avoid cross contamination and I cannot risk eating anything that may potentially contain gluten. At home, I am used to eating an entirely gluten free diet, but this is much more difficult when I go to eat at restaurants. I’m sure that most people with allergies have very similar experiences and it is often difficult to trust that restaurants are safely preparing allergy-free food.
When I go to Calabria I never doubt that my food was made entirely gluten free. There are many restaurants where I am only able to eat a burger patty, without a bun, and a side salad. Calabria is completely different. Calabria has an extensive gluten free menu, with tons of options for me. When I eat at Calabria, some of my favorite gluten free options are mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, pizza and much more. It is extremely rare for me to be able to eat these foods. Most restaurants do not have gluten free fryers, let alone all of these options. The only time I have ever been offered gluten free mozzarella sticks was at Calabria.
Calabria is also famous for its Crunchy Thin Crust Pizza. This pizza was rated an 8.9, by Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports, which is an incredible rating. This pizza is not gluten free, but ensures that your family members will also have a great experience at Calabria. Calabria is not just an incredible restaurant when it comes to allergies, it offers delicious food for the entire family.
The staff at Calabria is also extremely well-informed when it comes to allergies. Because I am gluten free, I have much more experience with the gluten free items on this menu. However, after seeing how the staff at Calabria handles my allergy, I am confident that they will be able to provide safe options for any allergy. The staff completely understands the severity of allergies and the absolute necessity to avoid cross contamination. No matter what your allergy is, I believe that the Calabria staff will be able to accommodate your needs and serve you a meal that you can feel confident eating without worrying about your allergy.
My entire family loves eating at Calabria. Calabria is a restaurant where I consistently have a variety of gluten free options to choose from. My family members are also able to order any delicious options on the menu. The friendly atmosphere combined with the great food makes Calabria a perfect place to eat if you have an allergy.
