GLUTEN FREE AT MARCO’S COAL-FIRED
For years guests have raved about the flavor and texture of our Gluten Free Dough as being the most similar to traditional pizza, with the best flavor and performance.
We wanted to take a minute and remind our friends of each step we take to make stellar Gluten Free Pizza!
“Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had!!! It’s definitely worth the money and they were super careful about cross contamination and other allergens. It was so good we bought an extra one to take home with us.”

Our hand-mixed Gluten Free Dough process.
STEP 1: THE DOUGH MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Like all of our products, we use only the best available.
Made by Mulino Caputo in Naples, Italy Fioreglut is the best Gluten Free Flour on the market because it uses deglutinized wheat starch ( Continuously tested under 5PPM of Gluten, 4x under the FDA limits for Gluten Free Certification) and a blend of cereals to make a flour that can be mixed, fermented, stretched and cooked just like a traditional Neapolitan Pizza Dough.
Fiore Glut Ingredients: Gluten Free Wheat Starch, Dextrose, Corn Starch, Buckwheat Flour, Rice Starch, Vegetable Fibers, Guar, Flavorings. Per manufacturer, 2024.

What are all the ingredients in our Gluten Free Dough?
Mulino Caputo Fioreglut flour, Water, Salt, Yeast.
That's it! Each batch of our dough is mixed by hand in dedicated equipment, then allowed to ferment over 24 hours for outstanding flavor and dough structure!
The result is a yeasty, flavorful, soft and chewy crust in keeping with authentic Italian tradition and safe for Gluten Free guests.
STEP 2: KEEP 'EM SEPARATED
A even a great gluten-free crust can be ruined if it comes into contact with traditional flour. We have protocols at every step of prep and production to keep our Gluten Free pizza free from contamination.
We never use shared equipment, like bowls, dough mixers, proofing trays or pizza cutters.
We never use the same toppings for Gluten Free pizza.
We never stretch Gluten Free pizza in the same area. Different pizzaiolos are assigned to GF and traditional pizza each shift.
We never bake Gluten Free pizza in the same oven as traditional.
While there is never a way to prevent 100% of glutinous flour particles from coming into contact, you can be sure we take preventing cross-contamination SERIOUSLY.

“Amazing pizza. Dedicated oven, they really understand gluten free. Haven’t had a pizza that was crisp and chewy in 10 years. Worth the money. ”
STEP 3: CONSISTENCY IS KEY.
Would you believe that when we first started making Gluten Free Pizza we only offered it TWO days a week?
In the more than 15 years since we opened, our Gluten Free following has grown tremendously and demand for great gluten free options keeps on rising! We attribute this to our consistently great product, great procedure and great training for FOH staff.
