very good pizza, hamburger with amazing pizza dough, friendly staff, fair prices

I tried margherita with buffalo mozzarella and fried filling with endives. The dough is really good, both fried and baked... you can hardly tell it's gluten-free! The buffalo mozzarella used needs to be reconsidered.
5
one of the best restaurants in Milan with a delicious pizza. The variety of choices is great, we often go there for family dinners since it is very safe using a separate oven.

separate gluten-free menu, excellent gluten-free pizza!
5
fried snacks and gluten-free pizza are really good
5
delicious pizza! The entire menu is available in gluten-free and lactose-free versions! The staff is very attentive to contamination.

spectacular pizza and appetizers
5
spectacular pizza, but also first courses, second courses, and desserts. I go back often and willingly.

I went to Peperino e Milano and tried their gluten-free Margherita pizza. The portion was very generous and the pizza was tasty and well prepared. The restaurant is AIC certified (Italian Celiac Association), which gives great confidence and reassurance for people with celiac disease. I also appreciated the presence of several gluten-free desserts on the menu, which is not always easy to find. A great option for anyone looking for a gluten-free friendly pizzeria.
5
Very delicious pizza, they have a dedicated oven for gluten-free. The rest of the menu is also available gluten-free, and I particularly appreciate that it's possible to get the fried items, which are also very good.

Delicious pizza, with fries because I still feel super young. Forgettable service, rude staff; they are nicer at the cash register, but they messed up the final bill. I would only return with my friends for the gluten-free options.

Super delicious pizzas, classic Neapolitan. The paradise of gluten-free!

Large place, very well equipped and with a whole gluten-free menu (appetizers, first courses, pizzas, desserts). The pizza is really tasty.

We have dear friends who are celiac but we are all passionate about good pizza and generous Neapolitan cuisine. Il Peperino is the perfect cherry on top for a walk in Milan from Brera to Corso Como. Very close to Porta Garibaldi, it allows us to enjoy Milan and also great food. All the waiters are kind and the owner truly has an extra touch. Fast and determined, she quickly finds the best solution for all customers. Very good. For 20 years, excellent gluten-free pizza for celiacs guaranteed by AIC.
5
Delicious pizza, I recommend the pumpkin pizza with pumpkin cream and speck. My friend, being celiac, ordered the gluten-free pizza and it was delicious. Very friendly staff and the place is in an excellent location. I recommend making a reservation.
5
Restaurant in the AIC circuit with great attention to allergies and intolerances! Prices are average! Very nice restaurant and extremely kind staff!
5
I came here with an Italian work colleague because it goes gluten free pizza. The food was really tasty, and even through my colleague prefers Roman rather than Neapolitan pizza, she really enjoyed hers. Mine was one of the best GF pizza I have tried, even cold the next evening as a snack. It was nice trying the croquette, aranchini and mozzarella platter to start (GF breadcrumbs). Service was a bit slow, the decor was tired, and the house red wasn't the best, but I would be happy to return.

Peperino is an excellent pizzeria that doesn't disappoint, especially for those looking for a gluten-free pizza made the right way. The dough is soft and well-leavened, the ingredients are quality, and the toppings are always spot on. Even those who are not celiac find really tasty pizzas. The place is welcoming and the staff is kind, highly recommended!
5
Ate here on our first night and the gluten free pizza did not disappoint. I have coeliac disease, and found this place was accredited by the AIC and offered both normal and gluten free options. The pizza base actually looked pizza like unlike some of the bases you can get at other places. Massive variety of bases too, would definitely return if I was in Milan again.
4
We ordered 2 pizzas, one with regular dough and one gluten-free. The regular pizza looked great and was very good. For the gluten-free pizza, I must say it's misleading advertising because they promote it as a pizza with a high crust, but that's not the case. Aside from that small detail, the pizza was very, very good. Service was so-so. There was little organization for the orders; the pizzas actually arrived before the drinks. The waiters seem overwhelmed with work, always looking grumpy. A smile wouldn't hurt you.
5
I can only give huge compliments to the owners and the entire staff: I am celiac and it had been over 12 years since I last had such a good gluten-free and lactose-free pizza... truly SO good. Not only do they offer a really varied gluten-free menu, but it is also customizable according to intolerances. The attention, care, and passion they put into seeking the highest quality is evident and can be tasted entirely. My heartfelt compliments, and I hope to return soon to eat another of your pizzas!
5
in my opinion, the best gluten-free pizza in Milan. A place that has been part of the AIC circuit for a long time.

My experience at the Peperino restaurant in Milan was at times fluctuating: we had booked for 8:30 PM, but we were only seated at 8:45 PM, while others without reservation were welcomed before us. Once taken to the completely empty lower floor, the staff immediately seemed too insistent in commenting on our choices, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere. We requested water, and despite waiting more than 20 minutes, the request was not fulfilled, with a final update arriving only after 41 minutes. During the pizza ordering, the staff asked us repeatedly, three times, if we were ready to order, a clear sign of poor internal coordination. The situation further complicated when I saw a confused waiter asking us if we had ordered a pizza not belonging to our table. Despite all these mishaps, the pizza arrived at 9:15 PM and was a real highlight: one of the best gluten-free pizzas I have ever tasted. The dinner, consisting of two pizzas and two waters, cost €40, a price that is within the area's standard.
5
great mixed fried seafood recommended for those in the Corso Como area!
4
We arrived just before closing time, so the turnout was very low, the service was very fast and the arrival of the pizzas was quick. I had been here another time during peak hours and everything was impeccable. Excellent gluten-free pizza, by far the best I've found here in Lombardy. The only point of criticism was that the fried pizza was a bit too salty and the stems of the friarielli could have been softer; it was difficult to bite into the pizza.
5
Incredible for gluten free and coeliacs and would recommend, dedicated gluten free menu. Was a bit of a trek from our accomodation, but so worthwhile and would do again. We ordered a gluten free pizza and calzone and both were amazing - couldn’t tell it was gluten free! Great portions, we couldn’t finish and took the leftovers for the next day. We arrived at opening and were seated and served promptly. One of the waiters randomly gave us a paper bag with bread in it while we were waiting for our order (which we think he had been snacking on at the start of the shift), no other customers appeared to be given a random bag of bread, and then a different server took it away when they cleared our plates, even though we took the pizza etc as leftovers - was a bit bizarre! Huge space and must be heaving in summer, but on a Tuesday night in January it was nice and mellow.
5
Great gluten-free pizza, many menu variations, and fast service.
4
Excellent pizza, gluten-free beers, and desserts. Maximum safety.
5
mandatory stop when you are in the Garibaldi area! Highly recommended
4
Great destination if you have little time, because the staff is very quick and very friendly. Neapolitan cuisine, the pizza is very good.
5
Good gluten-free pizzas and fried foods, nice location, and very kind staff. Very attentive to gluten-free needs.
4
Gluten Free is 5 stars! My mom has celiac and they have an entirely separate gluten free menu and she loved the pizza and focaccia. I got noodles with fresh tomatoes and it was alright, personally not my favorite. The Margherita was super authentic. Also- separate English menu and we had a friendly server who spoke great English.
5
Very good pizzeria in a really nice area of Milan. The entire menu is also available gluten-free and lactose-free. Wide selection of pizzas, fried foods, first courses, and appetizers. I had a pizza O’Piennol, simple but tasty and identical to the regular pizza. Truly a fantastic discovery.
5
great place with excellent gluten-free options, pizza, sandwiches, and also fried items
1
rude and impolite staff, we arrived when the restaurant was empty and it took them over half an hour to take our order. the food was ok, definitely not something I will remember. before the dishes arrived, a waitress brought a complimentary fried pizza, asking if anyone was gluten-free, but instead, she addressed me (celiac) and said she was sorry. I think it would have made a better impression to bring a simple gluten-free focaccia to a table with a celiac. I advise the owners to refrain from gluten-free baking as I was given gum rather than a roll.
2
The gluten-free pizza is a bit like chewing gum and the mozzarella too. Overall unsatisfactory. The service was terrible, it took an hour and a half to serve us and even when we asked, they didn't come to take our order.
4
Excellent pizzas, authentic Neapolitan, also gluten-free, they also make first courses, second courses, appetizers, and desserts, which we haven’t tasted. Slow service and a bit shabby. Beautiful place, but maybe a bit too large and overwhelming.
5
One of the best pizzas in Milan! Must try!
5
I have often gone there and I have always had a great experience. The gluten-free pizza is possibly the BEST I have ever eaten among Piedmont, Lombardy, and Liguria. Rich dishes, amazing desserts, huge location, and staff always available. Sometimes you might find slightly clumsy foreign waiters, but it's okay anyway.
4
Recommended restaurant for all celiacs! I tried the panzerotti as an appetizer and the Verace pizza, obviously gluten-free! Everything was very good, though there were some issues with the service. But recommended!
5
Restaurant/Pizzeria offering a wide choice of Neapolitan-flavored foods; those who have never been to Naples can close their eyes and imagine being transported there just by taste. The gluten-free pizza is excellent, as is the bread they bring to the table (with gluten), made from pizza dough. A place for those who love strong and decisive flavors. Friendly, smiling, helpful, and patient staff. The friends I brought were very satisfied!
5
A very characteristic Neapolitan locale. They are highly specialized in gluten-free cuisine, in fact, they have a wide choice of flavors. In four people, we ordered three pizzas (two marinara at €4.50), one margherita at €5, and a calzone with salami, mozzarella, and burrata. We spent around €50. I will definitely return.
5
One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten! It has both a large indoor room and outdoor space. Unfortunately, being in the city center, the prices are a bit high (this applies to the 'normal' pizzas as well).
5
We went for the first time a little while ago with my husband. The staff was very kind, attentive, and quick in service. They were also very mindful of my needs, considering my gluten and lactose intolerance, especially since I am pregnant. Finally, I found a pizzeria that offers gluten-free/lactose-free options where I can eat without feeling unwell! The menu is also very detailed with allergens listed, so customers with my same issues know what to order without fear of feeling sick, and the portions of fried food and pizzas are very generous. I highly recommend it!! I will definitely be back!!!
5
Heaven!! As soon as I saw the menu, all the gluten-free fried options lit up my eyes, truly excellent. The gluten-free pizza was also delicious. Friendly staff, excellent inclusion by the owners. We really had a great time, thank you!!
5
Excellent pizza, quick service
5
very good gluten-free pizza. The gluten-free station is completely separate from the gluten one. One of my landmarks when I am at university.
5
I had a great time, the place is very large and clean, and I had the best pizza (including appetizers) I've ever eaten since I became gluten intolerant.
5
Delicious pizza, with the appearance and taste of a "normal" pizza. Possibility of lactose-free mozzarella. Spectacular gluten-free desserts.
5
What can I say, exceptional menu and high quality (I shared some dishes with non-celiac people who equally appreciated them a lot!) A reference point in Milan.
4
The gluten-free pizza was good, the dough very flavorful and similar to "normal" dough. The crust was lightly risen. I had a classic Neapolitan bufalina gluten-free, the ingredients were of high quality, the tomato sweet and tasty. My boyfriend had a normal pizza with pumpkin and raw ham, he said it was good although a bit dry and the dough gummy, probably because it missed the tomato sauce. As appetizers, we had a portion of gluten-free fried foods that included two arancini, two potato croquettes, and two fried mozzarella, and a portion of gluten-free fries. Everything was very good. I appreciate the fact that the place has a separate kitchen for gluten-free, allowing them not only to make pizzas without contamination but also to fry in a different oil: it's not easy to find a restaurant that offers such a wide range of gluten-free appetizers! The desserts were very good, we had a coconut and chocolate dessert and a pistachio one. The pistachio one was excellent, the chocolate one good but I wouldn't order it again. As for the cost, the prices are quite balanced, although 16 euros for the appetizers (one portion of fried foods and one of fries) seems excessive to me. We spent 52 euros for two (104 euros for 4 people). The waiters were always very nice, although due to the queue outside, they were a bit pushy and hasty about getting us to leave early to free up the table. The place does not accept reservations, we went on Saturday night and arrived quite early, around 8, and didn't find a queue, we sat down immediately. By 9/9:30 there was a queue outside, with an estimated wait of about 20 minutes.

very good pizza and courteous staff.
5
the best gluten-free pizza I have found so far
5
Our favorite place to enjoy a true Neapolitan pizza offers a variety of dishes from Neapolitan cuisine as well as a wide range of pizzas. It is one of the few places where you can also find the classic fried pizza. On weekends, it's essential to book in advance due to the quality of the products, as it is always full. The prices are in line with Milanese pizzerias.
5
Stunning location, fantastic Neapolitan pizza. One of the best ever.
3
Very spacious locale, well-maintained, even the bathroom has its charm. The pizza is very good, including the gluten-free option, although there isn't a wide variety. The organization leaves something to be desired, which is why I chose to give only three stars. The wait times are not long, but the staff isn't very attentive; they brought us drinks after the appetizers and didn't ask if we wanted anything else after the pizza. Let's say we were left a bit to ourselves. Excellent value for money.
5
The best gluten-free pizza in Milan. Very good, with high-quality ingredients and above all, it has never caused me any discomfort in the hours after the meal.

Good pizza but the service has become poor... I have often come to this place which also offers a menu for celiacs. I went on Tuesday evening, July 26th. We entered and a guy took us to a table, we waited quite a while before one of the waiters took our order (we had to stop him ourselves; otherwise, we would still be there waiting to dine). Order taken, and the pizzas arrived after a while... However, I must say they are still very good; in fact, the pizzas are worth it, it's the service that has deteriorated over time. I don't know if the management has changed, but now it seems more neglected. We were served by a guy dressed in a black shirt who had little of a waiter about him; he seemed almost improvisational, passing by to clear tables and not paying attention to customers and their needs. The table next to ours had to order, and minutes went by before the girls stopped this waiter; otherwise, he was thinking about something else. The room was full, and he stopped to look at his phone or sat at a table eating with friends. Then, as a cherry on top, it started pouring outside, and I had to chase after a lady who had left the pizzeria with my umbrella, reasoning: "the guy told me to take any as they are all abandoned"... 😡 With what right do you say something like that to customers? Maybe one was forgotten, but not all. Fortunately, I noticed it; otherwise, there would have been a discussion because you can't take on such a responsibility and say it so calmly. In the end, we didn't even order dessert because the desire to stay there was gone. I'm sorry to have to give such a terrible review, but the quality of the service has drastically decreased lately.

I returned to this place after a few years, on the occasion of a "pizza night" with a person who is gluten intolerant. Before booking, I had read the most recent negative reviews, mostly related to the service, and I was prepared for the worst. Instead, I found a positive point in the service: courteous, polite, and fast. The pizza is good, but if I have to find a flaw, the dough was not cooked perfectly. I tried the gluten-free pasta and found it absolutely pleasant. Although I am not celiac, maybe next time I'll go for the gluten-free pizza.
5
Everything strictly gluten-free 😍 Three breaded and fried mozzarella balls, 4 small fried calzones filled with ricotta and salami, a gluten-free beer (I chose Tennent's since it’s rare to find in places) but there are two more gluten-free beer options (Peroni and Daura with a red label) plus a fourth which is a craft beer. Finally, the pizza, thin, crispy, and delicious. Everything was good, from the appetizer to the pizza. I didn't make it to dessert because I was full 😂 Friendly, courteous, available, and knowledgeable staff regarding intolerances. Excellent value for money. Informal atmosphere suitable for a dinner with friends or family.
4
Great pizza and very tasty gluten-free fried appetizers
5
We booked to let my son, who is celiac, taste the fried pizza. The staff is very kind and helpful, both in attending to customers and providing information. The gluten-free pizzas are very good and generous. For those going with children and wanting to try the fried pizza, I recommend either getting the appetizers with tastings or just the pizza, to avoid wasting food and enjoy a great pizza in both cases. We will certainly return. P.S. Like all the places in the area, it's better to make a reservation and go early in the evening for a calm dinner.
4
The pizza is good but heavy and makes you thirsty. Unfortunately, it is very crowded and always full, which greatly affects the service.
5
Gluten-free pizzeria and restaurant. A dedicated space exclusively for gluten-free. Really excellent pizzas and fried foods. Ideal for those looking for a place to bring gluten-free and non-gluten-free friends for lunch or dinner. The staff is super attentive and kind. We have been there often and will definitely return.
4
We ordered at 8:30 PM and sat outside, which was at 9:15 PM. We waited a long time before being served; there should have been at least one waiter outside to manage the table situation, but that was not the case. The gluten-free pizzas were excellent. I would go again, but the service needs to improve.
5
great pizza, sandwiches with burgers and fries are good, really good gluten-free pizza dough.. compliments to the staff as well.
4
very good Neapolitan pizza, the desserts are not bad either, staff is so-so, not very friendly
5
The pizza here is really amazing!! It is one of my favorite gluten-free restaurants and there is a lot of choice on the menu even for us celiacs. I recommend it!
2
I had been to this place years ago, but I believe that, having expanded, they are no longer able to manage the tables. The pizzas (not just ours) arrived with a 20-minute delay between each one, forcing us to eat separately. If I had known, I would have booked two separate tables. It also seemed to me that some quality has been lost in the gluten-free pizzas, which remain good but not the best.
5
One of the best gluten-free pizzas in Milan. So much choice, also available fried pizza, exceptional!
4
Great place located just a step away from Corso Como, offering excellent Neapolitan pizza and polite and kind service. The gluten-free pizza stands out compared to many others I have tried in other places, for gluten intolerants, you can go safely :) The prices are fully reasonable for the area where it is located. There are really many seats, making it suitable for a work lunch as well. I will definitely return, keep it up!
5
The food is truly a spectacle; I tried 5 different appetizers, some pizzas, and desserts. Everything was really exquisite, including the Gluten-Free menu. Prices were a bit high but average for gluten-free items. The only note is that we waited a long time between courses, but the place was very crowded (being one of the few open) and the waiters had just returned from vacation, so we forgive you :)
5
very good pizza, the dough is crispy and good, it doesn’t leave that aftertaste of cheap gluten-free pizza. The ingredients were also very good. I recommend it.
5
I am gluten intolerant and in Milan I have never found a more inclusive and welcoming place than Ò Peperino. In addition to the customer care and the speed of service even on Saturday nights, the quality of the products and the goodness of the pizza (in particular, I recommend the porcini mushrooms and truffle pizza, it’s out of this world) and the Montanarine are unbeatable. From today, it ranks among my favorite places. Highly recommended, if that wasn’t clear yet!
5
Absolutely excellent pizza and well-cooked. Good variety of desserts.

We had dinner about a week ago. I have always loved this pizzeria for two reasons: excellence in gluten-free and top quality Neapolitan pizza. However, during my last visit, I was very disappointed. The gluten-free pizza was not at its best and the "regular" pizzas had something that didn't convince me. Attention should be paid to the fact that semolina flour should not be used to make Neapolitan pizza; it can be a variant but it is not the authentic one.
1
We tried to have dinner at this place, I say tried because due to some unknown issues, after 2 hours of waiting, there was no sign of the pizzas. As soon as we arrived, despite the many people, they seated us at our table reserved in advance at 9:30 PM. The place was crowded but naturally limited since many tables were empty (a detail to keep in mind at the end of this review). There were 6 adults, one of whom was celiac, and one child. Within 5/10 minutes we placed our order; it was 9:40 PM: we ordered 3 mixed fried Neapolitan dishes, a montanara, 4 regular pizzas, a gluten-free one, and a small one for the child. After not even 5 minutes, a waiter, agitated and confused, brought us some appetizers that we pointed out were not ours: he insisted they were ours but just as we were about to take them, another waiter corrected him and invited him to go to another table (it’s understandable; it’s clear he’s new). After half an hour, at 10:10 PM, 2 of the 3 mixed fried dishes arrived: I pointed out the missing items, highlighted that it would be wise to at least bring the pizza for the child, and mentioned we were still without drinks; the waiter apologized and said he would take care of it. After 5 minutes, the drinks arrived, but still no sign of the rest. Another half hour went by, during which I continued to request assistance due to the missing items, and finally, at 10:40 PM, the montanara and the missing mixed fried dish arrived. I noted that the child was still without food... after 10 minutes the mini pizza arrived... unfortunately, it was 11 PM, the child had nibbled here and there and was tired, so the pizza stayed on the plate. At 11:30 PM, tired and angry, we noticed that other tables were even being served desserts; frustrated, we got up and went to settle the bill for what we had received. The waiter tried to stop us saying that the pizzas were coming but we were already fed up and tired, two hours of wait is truly unacceptable, especially since, as I mentioned at the beginning, the restaurant is full but not at full capacity, so they are still managing fewer customers than they could. At the cash register, we were told that if we wanted the pizzas, they were ready and we could take them home without paying: a nice attempt at reconciliation but what sense does it make to take home pizzas at that hour even if they are free? Moreover, surprise on the bill, the child was charged for the cover and the pizza, even though it was smaller and left entirely untouched. I regret to give a negative review but it seems excessive to wait 2 hours for pizzas even when the restaurant is full (which it wasn't).
5
First of all, the kindness of the hostess and the courtesy of the staff. The pizzas are delicious, especially the gluten-free ones. Until today, I have been to many places in Milan and Pavia, but Peperino's is number 1. The place is welcoming and spacious. The Neapolitan traditional desserts are excellent, and the menu is very good with well-prepared dishes. Recommended to everyone.
3
A well-kept, bright, and tidy place. Possibility to eat gluten-free dough as well. I had as an appetizer stuffed panzerotti with ricotta and salami and fried pizza. Very good dough, excellent ingredients, perfect cooking. I then ordered a diavoletta... which did not satisfy me. I asked for a well-cooked pizza, and what I got was a moist dough... good ingredients and toppings. Excellent value for money. Courteous and efficient staff.
5
As celiacs, we know how difficult it is to find good food for dinner. Equally hard to find traditional fried foods. At Peperino, I was almost moved when I saw the gluten-free menu: it had everything one could desire in a Neapolitan pizzeria! We ordered the delicious malelingue, fried and really good, and then a FANTASTIC pizza with eggplant parmigiana, Neapolitan style, soft, fresh, and not frozen! Definitely, the best gluten-free pizza I've ever eaten!!!!
3
Restaurant, pizzeria in the Milanese average. The pizza is very good with the option to choose different proposals for various intolerances and gluten issues. The only downside is the service, which is a bit slow and not very attentive to the people at the table.
4
When I went to dinner, they made several mistakes with the orders (dishes I hadn’t ordered kept arriving), I had to change tables, and I believe they did not manage the situation very well. Aside from this understandable inconvenience, the food was good and everything arrived on time, the prices are slightly above average but considering their location, I can't blame them for it. Excellent menu for celiacs.
