Gardo's Italian Oven — Restaurant in Darmstadt

Update (3/13/22) - updated review is pending, today we called and they are delivering to our location.

I asked them if they are not using the metal plate as they used to and aparantly, they are not which makes the gf pizza non gf!!! They may think that it is just fashion to have non gf but guess what it makes...
