Very good pizza, separate oven in view and the fries are gluten-free. The only downside is that they don't have dishes for celiacs.

Great pizza. In Parma, among the AIC venues, it is definitely the best gluten-free pizza. They study a lot to perfect the dough. The pizza is very digestible and not at all floury. The cost is higher than average. The owners are very kind. The place gets quite chaotic on weekends because it is very popular.

I have been coming to La Vela for years with my friends. The place is really fantastic: a welcoming atmosphere perfect for an evening with company. We greatly appreciate the fact that La Vela also offers the possibility to eat gluten-free pizzas and desserts (an attention that is not at all taken for granted and makes everyone feel included). The staff is always very helpful and attentive. A special thanks to Stefano, our favorite waiter: he is truly reliable! Kind, professional, and always with a smile. Highly recommended!

Gluten-free pizza delight! And great service. They even have gluten and lactose free tiramisu. This is the authentic taste of wood oven pizza I know from my youth. We are in heaven.👌

We have been going to this pizzeria in Parma for years and we never get tired of it. We have become addicted to the 'Peppe pizza' 🤤 ...highly recommended for those who love a pizza a little different from the usual; Good both with gluten and without, so everyone can enjoy it!! Not to mention... there is a large parking lot in front of the venue. Keep it up....🍕🥰

We were at this pizzeria restaurant on Monday evening and had a truly pleasant experience. One aspect I appreciated the most was the attention to intolerances: it is not easy to find places that care about this with such diligence, and the gluten-free pizza was really excellent, fragrant, and flavorful. The atmosphere, calm on that evening, made the setting even more welcoming: the dining room wasn't too crowded, and the staff could afford to give a little extra care to the customers, making the service attentive and friendly without ever being intrusive. You can clearly sense a nice team spirit among those working in the dining area and the kitchen: the kindness and cooperation of the staff help every guest feel at ease. We ordered the pizzas and were satisfied both with the quality of the ingredients and with the care in the preparation. A place I gladly recommend to anyone looking for tasty pizza, a serene environment, and truly kind staff.

One of the best gluten-free pizzas I've tasted so far. The regular dough is also excellent. Generous toppings and no digestive discomfort. Maybe the place could use a bit of renovation, but otherwise, no criticisms. Courteous and well-prepared staff. Absolutely worth trying.

I should mention that I had already been to this pizzeria a couple of times and I always had a great experience, but the last time in particular was special because I had specific dietary needs, and the waitress was very thorough regarding my order. Furthermore, for those like me who have intolerance or allergy issues, there are several options suitable for everyone, even in the choice of desserts. In my opinion, the location is super welcoming and warm.

Good pizza from Pizzeria La Vela in Parma, but if you're as hungry as we are, maybe ask for a bit more topping! The pizza is thin, not Neapolitan. Extra points for the option to have gluten-free pizza too! 🍕💯 Prices are standard.

I met this vendor by chance online because I was looking for a pizzeria that served gluten-free pizzas and, if possible, lactose-free ones. I purchased gluten-free bases online, meaning without gluten, sealed and air-free, to be stored for up to two months in the fridge or freezer, a mix of flours like rice and corn. The minimum order was 5 bases plus shipping costs. I waited some time before leaving a review because I needed to find the right oven temperature for baking. The rise cannot be expected much because it has no gluten; the digestibility of the dough is good, and by managing the cooking with ingredients to our liking, the pizza is good. The service is good; the owner contacts you via WhatsApp to know how it went and if there were any problems of any kind. Overall, it's good to try ordering again even though it's from another region.

A GIGANTIC pizza, the largest I've ever eaten (even before receiving the celiac diagnosis)!!! And this is just one of the many qualities I appreciated; first of all, the extremely high level of safety! The gluten-free pizzas are cooked in a dedicated and well-separated wood-fired oven. The ingredients used are all of excellent quality and the pizza is well topped. It's super digestible, thin, and crunchy. The place is family-run and all the staff are knowledgeable and willing to assist with any request. In conclusion, besides being one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten, I'll be back for the size... which in this case really matters!

How I regret moving to Milan. Any other gluten-free pizzeria is not even remotely comparable to La Vela's!!! So good, completely on another level!!! 5⭐ stars also for the name of the owner's cat! Top!! Also for the addition of taggiasche olives which made my gluten-free and lactose-free pizza so much happier!!!! I would come to Parma just for the pizza .. Truly highly recommended!!!

We were on the road and fortunately I found them making gluten-free food. Open for lunch until 3:30 PM. Thin and good pizza. They prepare it safely in-house with a dedicated gluten-free oven. Friendly staff and a very spacious and well-organized environment.

Excellent service, the staff is very friendly and nice. The location is pretty, there is a large parking area across the street, and numerous seats inside. The only downside was the pizza, good, but 3 out of 5 stars (I had the salmon pizza, there was really too much tomato). Needs improvement. All pizzas are also available gluten-free, but not the kitchen.

The gluten-free pizza is excellent; it is served on a steel tray. The gluten-free pizza is cooked in a separate oven. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable about contamination. The quality of the products is truly high. Great value for money. There is a surcharge of €3 for the gluten-free pizza, but it's absolutely worth it because the pizza is really excellent!

Great pizza - the list of available pizzas is so long you might be given choice anxiety! Even better is that they can make it gluten free (and safe for coeliacs). I’m a very conservative coeliac but they made me feel safe, and I didn’t get sick. The marscapone desert was also terrific.

Yet another confirmation of quality, goodness, and extreme attention to contamination (e.g., they went around the table to serve a regular pizza, avoiding hovering over the GF one that had already been served). Excellent! The details make the difference!

Huge pizzeria. They do a lot of takeout but also have plenty of seating. It's a really spacious place, great for large groups. They are extremely fast with their service. The pizza is really good with the option to choose between regular, whole wheat, or thin crust. They are a guarantee for gluten-free pizza for coeliacs, with a dedicated counter and oven to avoid contamination. The gluten-free pizzas are huge but thin. There is a small parking area in front of the venue and another parking lot 100 meters away.

The restaurant is very crowded and despite the reservation, we had to wait several minutes before being seated, and this is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. As for the rest, I had the gluten-free pizza and I must say it was really delicious and arrived very quickly. All the waiters were kind, and despite being busy, they still had time for courtesy and smiles. I will definitely return because it is truly worth it, keep it up! 😁

This is one of my favourite places in Parma. Gluten-free pizza, that is absolutely amazing and enough options for us as Vegans. And then though they tell us every time that "this" is The last time. They let us bring our own Vegan cheese, so we can have the full experience. This quality of Gluten-free and Vegan pizza I haven't found much elsewhere. The place is cutely old-fashioned decorated. The only thing I feel sad about is that the TV is always on. And not just that, the signal seems to bad as well, so it's quite a bit distracting from the amazing food they serve. But I'm sure, I'll find my way back to them anyways.

Great venue, very spacious, ideal for groups, school classes, or teams. Good pizza, fast service, oven for celiac customers. Possibility of indoor seating for those with GP. Alternatively, outdoor seating. Parking across the street, full during peak hours, but you can always find a spot. Friendly service.

5 stars aren't enough... For over thirty years, this has been my go-to restaurant and pizzeria, and that of 90% of the neighborhood! The staff is all very friendly and kind! Incredible dishes from the sea and land, as well as options for celiacs! Well done Sabina, Paolo, Raffa, and Dodo. I almost forgot, the prices are as special as they are: special and from another time. Well... you have to try to believe it: Honest people deserve the best!!!

Ordered gluten-free pizza. Excellent. Arrived with delivery service. Very fast. Very kind and professional, both when taking the order over the phone and at delivery. We will definitely call them back soon. Even my 6-year-old son, who had gluten-free pizza for the first time, loved it very much.

One of the best gluten-free pizzas I've ever tasted.. Especially the dough: thin, crispy, and flavorful. We ordered takeout pizzas and despite the chaos and the high number of people waiting, we got our order relatively quickly. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Parma. Well done! 😉

A safe harbor. You can't go wrong, plenty of seating, promotions year-round, quality of raw materials, various doughs and pizzas for celiacs. Staff always available despite the large number of people. Fast service despite also having a lot of takeout activity. Open for lunch with menu and pizza. Fair price. In fact, excellent price, feels like going back in time. A meal with half-meter pizzas, beer, and drinks for 10 of us cost 15 euros each.

The pizzeria/restaurant is nice! I went there during lunch break and ordered a gluten-free verdiane pizza! The pizza was big, thin, and quite good! Too bad about the rather slow service! Those going during their work break don't have much time, so I recommend going in the evening!

Due to a misunderstanding caused by a momentary distraction of an employee, the younger owner took responsibility for the problem and worked to resolve it in the best possible way and as quickly as possible. Very serious and available people, a winning and honest way of working, gluten-free pizza that is very digestible and also very good. We will return soon.
