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. (Check out our 5 Star rating on FindMeGlutenFree.com!)

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.”

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.


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.

  1. We never use shared equipment, like bowls, dough mixers, proofing trays or pizza cutters.

  2. We never use the same toppings for Gluten Free pizza.

  3. We never stretch Gluten Free pizza in the same area. Different pizzaiolos are assigned to GF and traditional pizza each shift.

  4. 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.

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 almost 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.

Now, Gluten Free Specialty Pizzas, custom Margherita's and gluten-free focaccia bring families from all over the front range back to Marco's Coal-Fired because they TRUST our quality, passion and attention to safety!

“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. ”


CRAVE MORE GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS?

Our signature Jumbo Limoncello Chicken Wings are naturally Gluten Free! These tasty wings are roasted - never breaded & fried - and marinated in all naturally gluten-free ingredients like lemon, garlic and herbs.

The VIBRANT Arrosto Salad is super filling, healthy and delicious - the perfect guilt-free pairing with pizza. Our vegetables are never prepared with gluten ingredients!

Eggplant Rollatini! This deeply savory and delicious eggplant dish is always GF friendly - we use Fioreglut rather than breadcrumbs to coat our eggplant.

Factor in our ability to build your own pizzas and customize dishes, the Gluten Free options are almost endless!

DRINKS, DRINKS, DRINKS! Each Marco's Coal-Fired carries a selection of Gluten Free drinks beyond Wine and Spirits. Currently our Ballpark location has 2 Holidaily GF beers available, and Inverness is now pouring a GF hard Seltzer on draft!
