Best place for gluten free pizza and wine! I was really welcomed at this place. Good food, great staff, and they also have a separate kitchen for gluten-free pizza. Thank you all!

This is THE place to have pizza on the weekend and watch Italian soccer matches on the tv. The crowd is always great and they have several Italian beers which I loved !

Light airy crist. Fabulous toppings with high quality ingredients. I love pizza and this place had some of the best pizza I have eaten. Excellent gelato and desserts.

My girlfriend and I came here since we heard this place is safe for celiacs. It is! And it's very good, too. If you are gluten free, I strongly reccommend it as the food is top quality and you can try a lot of Italian things that truly respect the traditional recipes. We had a lot of food and I would say that our favorites were:<br>- pizza<br>- angioletti alla nutella<br>- montanarine<br>I give four starts though because the service didn't meet our standards at all. Slow service, our server looked bored and very absent, and also he kept looking at the screen when I needed to decide the tip amount (why would you?).<br>Overall, come here and try it. I would definitely come back, hopefully with a different server.

While visiting, i finally made it to Kesté Pizza e Vino and honestly, this is the best pizza I’ve had outside of Naples, Italy. From the very first bite it brought me straight back to Naples the dough, the char, the balance of the sauce and mozzarella, everything felt authentic and beautifully executed.<br><br>I started with the arancini, which were outstanding, perfectly crisp on the outside and rich and comforting inside. I paired everything with a glass of Aglianico, which was the perfect match for the pizza.<br><br>What really made the experience special though was the atmosphere. My server was Italian and absolutely fabulous warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the food. Hearing Italian being spoken at the tables around me made it feel even more authentic, like stepping into a little corner of Naples right in New York City.<br><br>The atmosphere was perfect from start to finish. If you’re visiting New York and love real Neapolitan pizza, this place is an absolute must. 🍕🇮🇹

Amazing restaurant and delicious food! Pizza is amazing and all their gelato and mozzarella are home made and delicious.<br>They have 3 kitchens: one for normal food, one for gluten free food (they also have an area for nut free, dairy free and other allergen free), and one for pizza making classes. Eduardo gave us a tour of the kitchen and showed us how all of their areas are celiac safe. Super thankful for all your attention and care!

Review for GF pizza ordered online. 4* crust that has great texture but lacking in distinctive taste. 3* Red sauce and cheese. Overall better than most frozen pies but bland and needs added spices. I would order crusts and add own sauce and toppings. I bet the GF pizza is better at their restaurant and will try next time in NYC.

★★★★★ Best pizza in the whole world!<br><br>Kesté Pizza at 77 Fulton St is simply incredible—it is literally my excuse to come to NYC.<br><br>I always have the gluten-free Macellaio, and it is amazing.<br><br>The GF crust is unbelievable; it feels so soft, you’d hardly know it’s gluten-free. The mozzarella was also amazing and incredibly fresh.<br><br>Their tiramisu, artichoke salad and fresca salad are unbelievable.<br><br>The service is a perfect blend of a European restaurant vibe with a fast-paced NYC overlay—attentive but efficient. If you are looking for world-class pizza (especially if you are gluten-free), this is the place.

I heard that this was the best gluten free pizza in New York City... & people who say that do NOT lie!<br><br>Any pizza on their menu can be made to have a gluten free crust, which they make in a separate dedicated kitchen. First of all: the gluten free crust is truly insane. Tastes exactly like a regular pizza. It was so chewy & perfectly thin. Easy to fold. Perfection.<br><br>I got the GF Pizza del Re & Quattro Formaggi:<br>- Quattro Formaggi: I LOVE a white pizza & if you want cheesy overload (like me), this is the pizza to get! It was so delicious & all the cheeses worked so well together.<br>- Pizza del Re: It was good, but I think the truffle threw me off a bit, just wasn't what I was expecting, but yummy nonetheless! The mushrooms are a perfect addition for texture & the proscuitto added a delicate saltiness that I honestly wished the Quattro Formaggi had.<br><br>Overall, great food, great service (& the food came out VERY fast! My sister & dad got a pie too!), & great ambiance. We had a reservation for Friday at 6 pm but we honestly didn't need it, however if you go after 7 pm I’d highly suggest a reservation as it got very busy. Lots of larger groups too.<br><br>If you’re celiac, gluten free, or have a wheat allergy & you’re missing a genuinely great slice of pizza, this is the place to be. Cannot recommend it enough!

Kestè is a great spot for authentic Neapolitan pizza with a ton of options to choose from. The Ragu and the Butcher are my go to pies. Both are really well made, hearty and packed with flavor. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The outdoor seating with heated bubbles is a great touch, especially in colder weather. Overall, everything tastes fresh and authentic. Easy place to come back to.

My bestie is gluten free, and after hearing they have amazing gluten free options, we came for her birthday. This was without a doubt the BEST gluten free pizza I’ve ever had in my life, and it doesn’t even come close. We got 3 different pizzas for 4 of us and felt it was just enough. The crust was so incredibly fluffy and each pizza packed so much flavor. For dessert we got the angioletti Nutella and I will be dreaming of that for the remainder of my life. I’m not usually a dessert girl but this was actually 11/10. Can’t wait to be back :)

This is really the best GF pizza I’ve had. My husband has been GF for over 10 ten years and I’ve tried GF pizza with him all over the country and the world. The crust is thin, fluffy, and crispy. It doesn’t have a “GF taste”. They have gf stuffed crust pizza. The toppings are traditional Sicilian style. They were doing lunch pizza this week so we ended up getting 2 regular sized pizzas. They were each about $35 so it was a pricey bill but we definitely could have split a pizza and been satisfied, we left with a lot of left overs. If you are GF and miss pizza, you should absolutely check this place out.

We came here for dinner, was moderately crowded at 7pm on a Sunday night, but we were able to be seated right away. Ordered two different appetizers to try them out, one was the arancini and the other the fraticelli. Neither of them really were particularly amazing, kinda bland. The pizzas on the other hand were well worth the price, very filling and tasty. The hot oil they provided was also a nice touch for my Diavola pizza. Not pictured is the second pizza we had which was a margherita and sausage, also very good. Altogether a nice spot for a quick meal and very solid and fresh pizza

On the last night of our vacation, my husband and I had the pleasure of eating dinner here. Our visit was memorable because of the exceptional service, attentive waitstaff, and outstanding pizza.<br>We arrived to a bustling dining room but decided to sit in their outdoor area. This walled space is comfortable and inviting, allowing guests to feel like they are removed from the street while eating. They also allow dogs in this area but cannot provide a water bowl, so owners should have one on hand.<br>The menu is plentiful with all pizzas available with gluten free dough. What felt like within minutes of ordering, our two pizzas arrived fresh from the ovens. I'm always skeptical of gluten free pizza doughs but Kesté has surpassed all expectations. Their dough was crispy on the outside, airy on the inside, and each bite was thoroughly satisfying.<br>Before asking, the waitstaff were there to refill a drink or provide a napkin but never hovered or were overbearing in any way. Their attentiveness and anticipation of every guests' need heightened the service, elevating our dining experience.<br>I HIGHLY recommend enjoying a meal at this restaurant, especially for people with Celiac disease. I cannot wait to visit again when in the area and will take advantage of their online ordering.

Kesté Pizza e Vino truly delivers on its reputation for perfect Neapolitan pizza – the crust, flavors, and quality of ingredients are all outstanding. The restaurant has a warm, positive atmosphere that immediately puts you in a good mood, making it a wonderful spot to enjoy authentic Italian food.<br><br>One small area of improvement would be the space near the restroom door. The line can feel a bit distracting for guests seated right beside it, taking away from the otherwise flawless dining experience. A simple reorganization or thoughtful decoration to “hide” that area would make the ambiance even better.<br><br>Overall, Kesté remains a must-visit for pizza lovers who want to experience Neapolitan pizza at its best.
