But they offer allergen information for the components so you can customize your own meal with relative ease. And they do have a Create Your Own Pasta option – we’ll show you how you can make it dairy free.

Their menu has recently changed so the link does not work, but I contacted them for an update. They’re working on it.
Thank you for the update!
Sadly they’ve since removed their allergen menu from their website.
