Short answer: can you order a small gluten free pizza from Milano
Yes. Milano Pizzeria in Kemptville offers gluten-free dough at no extra charge for small and medium pizzas, and you can order online for pickup or delivery from the Kemptville site or by phone at (613) 258-4050. Before you eat, run the short checklist below to confirm the kitchen’s handling and packaging practices for your safety.
The six quick checks to decide if a small gluten free pizza is right for you
If you or someone you feed has celiac disease or a severe gluten sensitivity, a labelled gluten-free crust alone does not guarantee a safe meal. These six checks are concise, practical questions to ask Milano staff by phone or to include in your online special instructions.
1. Ask whether they use the same oven or a separate oven
Cross-contact can happen when a gluten-free crust is baked on the same surface or in the same oven as regular crusts because crumbs and flour transfer. Ask whether Milano uses a dedicated oven, a separate shelf, or a pizza screen for gluten-free pizzas and note the answer. This is a common checklist item for diners with celiac disease (see a sample checklist for celiac-friendly practices).
2. Confirm dedicated utensils, trays, and prep surfaces
Even when the dough is gluten free, shared pizza peels, cutting boards, or topping scoops can contaminate the finished pizza. Ask whether the kitchen uses separate, labelled utensils and trays for gluten-free orders, and whether staff change gloves and sanitise surfaces between orders. Canadian preventive-control guidance highlights separation and cleaning as practical steps to reduce cross-contact risk.
3. Ask about staff training and documented allergen controls
Staff awareness matters. Ask whether the team is trained to handle allergen notes, whether orders are flagged, and whether there is a documented procedure (for example, mark the ticket, notify the cook, change gloves, and use a clean prep area). The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and federal guidance recommend written procedures and staff training as core allergen-control measures.
4. Confirm size, crust options, and whether the gluten-free dough is free
Milano’s Kemptville location advertises gluten-free dough at no extra charge for small and medium pizzas. When you order, confirm the policy still applies and ask which crust styles are offered in the gluten-free dough. If you need a size larger than medium, ask whether gluten-free dough is available for larger sizes and whether an extra charge applies.
5. Decide whether to pick up or get delivery and check packaging
Pickup often reduces the chance of additional handling after the pizza leaves the kitchen. If you choose delivery, ask how the pizza will be boxed and sealed and whether the driver will follow contactless drop-off instructions. When the order arrives, place the pizza on a clean plate or surface and discard any packaging that may have contacted other items. Simple steps like these reduce the chance of incidental cross-contact at the table.
If packaging is important to you, ask the staff to place the pizza in a separate bag, to seal the box if possible, and to avoid adding disposable utensils or condiments that may have touched other items. These requests are reasonable to make when you describe a medical need.
6. Ask about certification, labelling, and limits of restaurant claims
Restaurants commonly offer gluten-free items but do not hold formal certification. In Canada, Health Canada provides guidance on what a “gluten-free” claim means and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency enforces compliance and labelling. If formal certification matters to you, ask Milano directly; remember that an offered gluten-free option is not the same as a certified gluten-free facility.

When to avoid ordering a restaurant gluten-free pizza
For people with medically confirmed celiac disease or a history of immediate, severe reactions to trace gluten, a mixed-use kitchen may be too risky unless the restaurant can confirm strict separation procedures. Consider avoiding orders if any of the following apply:
- The kitchen cannot confirm separate baking surfaces or a consistent procedure to avoid cross-contact.
- Staff cannot describe how they prevent cross-contact with utensils or toppings.
- The restaurant explicitly states they cannot accommodate allergy or cross-contact concerns, or that gluten-free items are prepared on the same line without additional controls.
When in doubt, choose a fully gluten-free bakery or prepare a gluten-free pizza at home using your own equipment and supplies.
Price, deals, and what affects the final cost
Milano Kemptville advertises gluten-free dough at no extra charge for small and medium pizzas, and the site sometimes applies a site-wide discount at checkout. Extras that can change the final price include premium toppings, larger sizes, and third-party delivery fees. Always confirm the final cart total before you pay.
