Nero Pizzeria - Linlithgow

I was a bit hesitant about visiting this restaurant after seeing a one-star review, but I must say my experience turned out to be quite positive. They offered both pasta and pizza, but since the pizza was cooked in the same oven as the gluten-containing options, I decided to go with the gluten-free pasta. I did ask the staff to use separate utensils and tools for preparation, so I recommend you do the same if you visit. Overall, the pasta was delicious (I had it with tomato sauce), and I felt perfectly fine afterward!

Awful experience! I strongly advise against going here. They advertise gluten-free pizza and pasta, but the pizza is cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas and they use the same utensils. I ended up in a disagreement with the chef, who told me that asking for gluten-free pizza was pointless due to significant cross-contamination. He wiped his finger along the register and claimed it was covered in wheat flour every day, making cross-contamination unavoidable. I only discovered this after being served my pizza and noticing strange black spots on the bottom, prompting me to dig deeper. The pizzas didn’t even look appealing—they resembled something you’d get from a kebab shop rather than a true Italian pizza. They do offer dairy-free cheese, but they couldn’t confirm if the sausage was gluten-free and were unwilling to check for me.

I ended up having a heated discussion with the chef, who claimed that it was pointless to request a gluten-free pizza given the high risk of cross-contamination. He even pointed out that the register was covered in wheat flour daily, so contamination is unavoidable. I only discovered this after my pizza was served when I noticed specks on the floor and decided to ask more questions. The pizzas themselves didn't look appealing at all, resembling something you'd find at a kebab shop rather than authentic Italian pizza. They also claim to offer dairy-free cheese, but they couldn't confirm whether the sausage was gluten-free and were unwilling to check for me.
