The people were so kind and the food was really great. One in our party is celiac and they understood and took very special care of us. Even if you didn't have special needs, the food was great, affordable, and the people are so so kind.
Summit pizza I have say, has some absolutely amazing gluten free options for my Celiac girlfriend. We love coming to this place because they have really good food imo. However, over the last year, we’ve decided to order and pick up from the LS location instead of doing dine in most of the time. That has caused a lot of issues with our online orders. For example, we order the same thing every Saturday/sunday, every weekend for about a year. And they have not, ONE TIME, made the order correctly. I understand it happens sometimes, we are all human I get that. But these cooks must be blind because I have not had a single order be correct. We order the GF garlic bread, every single time I double check it, it’s gonna be cheese bread instead. Without a doubt in my mind these people will make your online order wrong. Same thing with the pizza. We get a GF Summit stockyard and half the time it comes out as a supreme pizza… 😂. It’s not like they get it right so it’s hard to give them grace at this point. Great food great people, but if you order online good luck getting what you ordered, you are gonna have to wait an extra 10-15 for your actual order.
I love this place. The bread is just.... 🤤. They make it fresh in house along with all their sauces. I havent had anything here I didnt like. There is a nice selection of gluten free options as well.
Portions are very worth the $. Some personal favorites are the brocolli chicken Alfredo, chicken parm (it is a BIG portion so be prepared), and the pizzas. My mother LOVES the fried ravioli and my husband likes any of the seafood he's tried.
Please understand this is a family run business. The service is hit or miss, but the food is worth it. There is almost always a wait, but there are shops and a little wine tasting place near by. Buckner is a very small but charming little town. The patio is lovely when the weather is nice.
We tried Favazza’s around 1:30 p.m., so it wasn’t busy at all. Overall, it was just okay—an expensive, average experience. We started with the toasted ravioli, which was actually pretty good, nice, and crispy with a flavorful filling. For entrées, we had the manicotti, the pasta con broccoli with pink sauce, and the gluten-free shrimp with pasta, plus a dinner salad. Everything tasted fine, but nothing really stood out as exceptional, especially for the price.
We sat on the patio, which was unfortunately extremely loud—even with few people around, the noise echoed and made conversation difficult. Service was a real disappointment. Our waitress was not attentive and kept disappearing for long stretches, leaving us waiting for refills and check-ins.
In the end, it felt like we paid more than the quality and experience justified.
Good choices BUT I have been glutened more than once here, the gf noodles are often undercooked, they are just barilla penne, and I found a spaghetti noodle in them once. Eat at your own risk!
Great Italian dining. We had seafood ravioli and the seafood linguini which were great and the seafood was fresh. Our son has celiac and they fixed him gluten free pasta and flatbread. Christopher, our waiter went the extra mile for us. Highly recommend.
Pizza as good. Staff was chill. Gluten free isn’t worth the cost for the size to me…Don’t be hungry if you’re splitting it. It got LOUD at 3pm so we wrapped up earlier. It was first Friday but it seems
Great gluten-free options! Thank you Wonderful server “Tarn” that went above and beyond to help us out with our specific food and dietary requests. Started with the bubble bar flight, then had the apple and fig salad, so good. Ended with the lobster and gluten-free Mac, but traded out the lobster for steak and it was delicious.
My husband is gluten free and I am not. We had the steakhouse gf pizza, wings, garlic butter shrimp and cookies to take home. The gluten free crust is the best we've ever had from anywhere in fact I am trying to figure out how to buy them so we can make our own frozen pizzas. The garlic butter shrimp was really succulent and not overcooked. Our 20 month old loved the naked chicken wings we'll be back for the wings alone because they were that good. These cookies don't have the right to be this dang good. If you like soft oooey gooey cookies this is a must. Sadly the cookies are NOT gluten free.
I unfortunately don't remember our server's name which stinks because she was probably one of the best servers we've had in the 3 years we've lived in the area. She was very attentive without being too much and super sweet to our daughter which is always appreciated
We dined at Pizza Shoppe for their First Friday buy one specialty king pizza and receive a single-topping king pizza for free. Sign up for their email list to receive the monthly coupon.
Their gluten-free pizza is very good and their cold chopped salad with the "Pink Stuff" cannot be beat.

I ordered a gluten free pizza due to an allergy, and apparently they manually reenter the orders at this location. Sent me a pizza with original crust, and didn't appear to really care. Why you would offer allergen-friendly food, and then have someone manually override it by entering it into another system is beyond me. I'll stick to the SW Blvd location.
Yum! Best Italian food in Springfield! The Ziti is my favorite. The meat is so tender and it's a delicious dish. They have a gluten-free bread option, gluten-free pizza, and gluten-free pasta. It's a safe environment for those of us with gluten issues. It's also vegetarian friendly.
About a year and a 1/2 ago we decided to go on a weekend trip down to Hannibal.And stumbled onto this restaurant while looking for gluten free pizza. Our pizza was so, incredibly delicious.And if they would have been open in the morning we would have stopped on our way from the hotel back home to pick up another one. In the intervening year every now and then we would think, Oh my god , we wish we had pizza from the brick oven. So, we got back there about ten months later, ate pizza and guess what? It was still super fab and now that I'm writing the review on it.I wish we had one right now.
We came with a large group by reservation and they were so accommodating! Being from a senior center, we require lots of space and attention and the manager ensured we were were taken care of. Food is beyond anything you can find elsewhere, authentic and homemade, with so many options for gluten free and diabetic patrons. Cannot praise them enough!
We love going here! The building is so beautiful with the wood and stain glass everywhere. Gorgeous spot for pictures. The have so much seating that it’s always easy to get a table. The food is consistently good. The staff is always on point. We’ve never had a bad server or bar tender. Even their gluten free options are yummy!
I have been eating on The Hill since I was a kid. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in my 20's. Thankfully, I am still able to grab a bite at Rigazzi's! They offer a GF pizza crust, as well as garlic bread. The food has always been delish! I have gotten contaminated a handful of times while eating there, but unfortunately I am taking that risk knowing that they do NOT have a dedicated GF cooking area. My husband ans my BIL love the fishbowls!!
Would NOT recommend. Waited over an hour for our food. Ferris wheel broken. Meat has plastic consistency. Gluten free pasta tasted like a frozen dinner. When we expressed concern we were told sorry there was nothing they could do. Ended up paying full price for less than mediocre food and experience. Server did his best.
We love this place and come often! Every house-made sauce they have on the menu is Gluten Free! You can choose Chickpea Pasta or Zucchini Noodles. Almost anything can be made GF and they are very accommodating and knowledgeable! You can tell they frequent a GF crowd here. The fries here are the best fries I think i've ever had! However, the fryer is not a dedicated GF fryer.
Exceptional pizza. Fresh ingredients and gluten free options don't sacrifice on taste. It appears like a hole in the wall bar, but don't let that take away from the experience. You'll wait 15-20 for your personal pizza, but we'll worth it.
Delicious food, great service. It's a very casual atmosphere but very comfortable. They do offer a gluten free penne pasta option. Cheese tortellini with cream sauce was amazing and the cannoli very good. I'm definitely going back!
Well treated excellent server... we had a large party, and everything was great... even gluten free options for some of us. I had 2 Tapas. Fish and fruit cheese combo, forgot to take pictures. ..
Had Father's Day in Branson, this year, the Olive Garden was absolutely wonderful. My sister-in-law is gluten-free. They have wonderful gluten, free pasta and the waiter was absolutely superb.
Gluten sensitive friendly, and everything on the buffet was labeled if it was vegan or gluten sensitive. Very attentive staff, eager to please and serve. Clean environment. Wonderful layout, BEST idea ever.... Italian Buffet! In LOVE!
Recommend giving this place a try!!
Absolutely the worst "italian" ever. Went for my daughter's birthday, had reservations for 7. We got there the place was empty, should have been the first sign to leave, the staff were all on their phones, and not an italian to be seen. The cast iron the lasagna was served on smelled like dish soap and the lasagna itself tasted like fish. The gluten free was salty and overcooked. The carbonara was undercooked and the sauce was bland. The only thing that was remotely decent was the 6 hour sauce pasta, which was really just a basic speghetti and meatballs in a wheat thickened sauce (grandma would roll in her grave at that cheap attempt at a good sauce). We only saw the staff a few times and the never failed to put an elbow in somones face. To call it the McDonald's of Italian would be an insult to McDonald's. Save your money and eat anywhere else.
The waitress was exceptional very polite and frequently checking on us . Also they have a good variety for people who are gluten free like my wife.. sometimes its hard to find something for her to eat
Have been getting food delivered a few times and honestly it's always amazing with faster delivery time than estimated.
It's the little things like remembering a fork even when I forgot to ask for one 🫶 and the gluten free option is a huge plus!
Loved the Honey Jack pizza It has honey mustard as the sauce! The gluten-free crust was amazing! They serve 10-in and 14 in gluten free. Also had the orchard chicken salad with balsamic dressing. Love the bartender ( Krista) .. she's super friendly and outgoing . And she knows how to make some amazing drinks!!!
I have only had positive experiences here, the manager is aware of Celiac and cooks all the gluten free pasta in fresh water and clean pots. I have only ordered pasta (with my favorite being the Penne Ala Vodka) and have never been sick. I always tell my waiter I have a gluten allergy and for them to tell the chef!
We decided to order Ginos on DoorDash. The food here was outstanding… even after a 25 minute car drive, the food was warm, fresh and delicious. I recommend the sampler, my fiance loved the gluten free Alfredo. pictures don’t do it justice
