GF & DF Dietary-Option Guide
GF means NJTGO found a current published menu that specifically identifies a gluten-free option. DF requires similarly clear current menu or allergen support for dairy-free choices. A badge does not mean the entire restaurant is allergen-free.
Varriale's Pizza · GFThe current menu specifically lists gluten-free pizza and also identifies gluten-free pasta as an available pasta choice.
Pizza RIA · GFThe current menu specifically lists a gluten-free pizza option.
DF BadgesNo Manchester / Whiting restaurant was assigned a DF badge without clear current menu or allergen documentation. Ordinary customization alone is not enough for NJTGO verification.
Allergy & cross-contact caution: GF and DF badges identify available options only. They do not mean a restaurant has a dedicated allergen-free kitchen, separate ovens, fryers or preparation surfaces, or that a meal is safe for celiac disease or a serious food allergy. Discuss allergies directly with the restaurant before ordering.
