Top 50 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in Pittsburgh

Riley Trueman

Great spot to get Neapolitan style pizza. They have the best gluten free pizza in Pittsburgh. Wife is Gf and she’s craves it. Honestly can’t tell much of a difference. Gelato is tasty and great selection of wine by glass, half and bottle.

Great breakfast! Gluten free options

Some of the best breakfast of my entire life. Sublime. The namesake pancakes are as good as you'd want them to be, rich, complex, savory. Each variety or different type of cake hits such different notes and is such a delight to try. Even the gluten free pancakes, definitely not my thing, were vastly enjoyed by my mom who because of dietary restrictions couldn't have anything else. She asks me if we can come back here very often. As for anything else here, you may have had better eggs elsewhere I can't speak to that. But the pancakes in particular are of an unreal quality, I've taken friends here and they've agreed with me on how great it is here. And I'm not ragging on the other meals you can have here either, I've mostly stayed pancake exclusive myself, but the eggs I've had were also of an above average quality to say the least. The place is well maintened and really looks like a cheesecake factory, but less, I dunno, in your face? I like it a lot. Very homey, but still classy. Overall, great place, great food, and I've only had great service.

We used Giovanni's for catering for a graduation party and the food was a hit at the party. Everyone wanted to know where we got the food because they loved it. The variety of food was excellent. In addition to a great variety of excellent food, there are several gluten free options which helped with dietary restrictions.

I must say ,it is worth the drive ,must go at least once if not more! I hope to travel back in the future at some point. By far my favorite burger joint, u can pick not only from specific items specified on the menu you have the opportunity to customize your own Burger! They do offer vegetables on the menu however it is limited and they do cater to specific allergies.They offer gluten free bun, if u want a bun. Also offer different meat options. Organic beef, to bison, waygu, elk. . Got to check them out! Find out for yourself, the ONLY disappointment was the in house chips lacked flavor, and the slaw was lacking flavor as well. The service was thorough, on point and great at explaining and answering questions.

This review is about the location in Southside. There's a tl;dr at the end. I did take-away so it was a limited atmosphere experience. Seemed like a normal kind of diner, just more brown and wooden? I was VERY excited when I learned they make gluten free waffles (I have Celiac disease). It's only for the "design your own" section, at least when ordering online. Not for the specials. You also can't specify decaf for any of the coffee drinks (I ordered the signature drink that was supposed to have hazelnut, vanilla, and maple flavor with foam on top). But I figured I could deal with full caf for a day, and if I happened to get there before they made it, I could always ask them to do decaf instead. The order was supposed to be ready to be picked up at 16 past the hour. I got there shortly after that and it wasn't ready. The place was basically empty. As far as I could hear and see there were two tables there, two servers, and two kitchen staff. They were all sort of meandering around slowly, and when one server finally came to greet me, they weren't pleasant at all. I've been a server multiple times in different places, so I know how hard it can be and always try to give the benefit of the doubt, so I was friendly to them and told them my name and what I was there for. They had me sign a receipt (we'd already tipped 15-20% online, our usual for take-away), then set it down and just walked away. Another server came out and started prepping a to-go hot drink and I asked if that was mine and if so, could they make it decaf please, since there wasn't a way to request that online? The server just said "it's not yours," and finished what they were doing. Apparently didn't tell the other server. I waited another 10 minutes before the other server brought out the bag and said "here you go!" (the friendliest anybody had been). I said I still had a drink. The signature. Then I remembered we'd ordered it separately, trying to do it decaf, so I apologized and explained it was a separate check. They sighed and started prepping it and I quickly asked about the decaf, explaining the order issue. They didn't respond, but I could tell they were unhappy about it. I felt badly, but I had been very friendly, and when I was a server I was happy just to have someone be friendly and kind to me. Nobody ever tipped me on take-away orders. I only had 45min to have lunch with my spouse IF the food had been ready on time, which it wasn't, and now because of the very long wait I was going to have about 10min with him. I just wanted to get out of there, so I wasn't paying much attention while the server made my drink. I thanked her when I got it, and rushed out. It wasn't until I tasted it a few minutes later when I was at my spouse's office that I realized it was plain coffee/espresso. I don't even know if it was decaf. But it tasted terrible and had none of the things from the signature drink in it I'd paid for. I wasn't going to go back, obviously, because we had no time at that point, and it looked like it was just those employees on the floor. So my spouse drank it instead because he can drink motor oil if it smells like coffee. Tl;Dr It was super depressing atmosphere inside, servers were rude, food wasn't ready in time, so it ruined rare lunch date with spouse, and I was given plain coffee instead of signature drink I paid for. Lame. 2/5 stars. Only gets even the 2 stars because of the gf waffles, which I haven't been able to have since developing Celiac disease after a major surgery. Those were tasty.

We were kind of find a breakfast place our last day there and we were going to Nikki’s but they were closed and a businessman saw that we were frustrated and recommended the speckled egg in the PGH building Oh my gosh! What an amazing building and the restaurant bar is in the rotunda of the building so you get a great view of the dome inside spectacular view. We ordered breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. I honestly have to say it was one of the best breakfast I’ve ever had dining out, made me fall in love with Pittsburgh , every meal we’ve had was delicious The service was impeccable, very friendly, knowledgeable, and good at recommending food for someone who has a gluten intolerance I had the hen hash with gluten-free toast absolutely delicious!

Barbara Belski

We just celebrated my sisters birthday and Jamie, our server, managed our large table with efficiency and top notch service. I have a gluten intolerance and everyone was so conscientious that I felt totally comfortable. I had the Mediterranean chicken with the accompanying GF cookie and ice cream and it was delicious. Thanks, BJ's!

Anthony

Highly recommend the Sacre Bleu-berry French toast! Had a delicious house made peach cream cheese which was unique. There are a lot of options whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. The inside was a little dated, but nothing to be turned away from. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. Overall a solid spot for breakfast, can't see going wrong with anything on the menu here.

Server was knowledgeable about cross-contamination, which I appreciated due to my son’s dietary restrictions. She confirmed how the kitchen handles allergens ( gluten) and took the time to double-check my order. Food was fine, but the awareness around food safety stood out.

Cristal Lopez

I had gluten free bun burger and it was banging. I loved he fries seasoning and Alexis was the best!

Inna Kunz

This is the most amazing gluten free pizza I’ve ever had and I travel quite extensively! It looked the same size, texture, and shape as my husband’s normal pizza which was so nice. The recipe was developed with help from one of their own staff with Celiacs. It was so fluffy!!!! The topping choices were extensive, high-quality, and just so so delicious. If you’re GF, run here!!

Jess Walton

Picked up a BYO cheese burger with a gluten free bun today. It was PHENOM Made my long @$$ work day so much better!!!!!! #treatyourself

Helen Kish

I love Aladdin’s. They have so many gluten free, vegetarian, and vegetarian options. The waitress was very accommodating to my gluten allergy and the baba ganoush was so good. The feel is family owned and local!

Tracy Dixon

Sara

Yummy, ice cream with gluten free, vegan and DG options for those who need dietary options! Highly recommend!

Martin Rodriguez

Grace Elder

I have celiac and the worker was so accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful even on a night as busy as the super bowl! They had probably one of the best GF crusts i’ve had in Pittsburgh and it was perfectly crunchy. The sweet hostess on the phone was wonderful as well! Great experience overall and a great price for GF food.

Svetlana Fedorova

Oh, my goodness, love it love it love it. All kinds of crepes, breakfast, sweet, not sweet, dairy free, gluten free, regular, everything! And of course the place. We love walking in this neighborhood for hours.

M J

Really loved this place! The staff is very kind, the food is delicious and has great portions. I'm gluten free and they had a dedicated gluten free menu! I highly recommend the bean dip and the half jerk chicken!

Lindsey Lehman

Kelly was an absolute rockstar. My friend and I are both gluten free and she made sure we had the best experience! We will definitely come back as long as she’s there!!

Jay Murray

We had a fantastic meal at EYV, it's a fantastic addition to a neighborhood on the way up. Of course, everything on the menu was gluten free and my wife had many vegan options to choose from. The hummus fritters and the peroigis were our favorites, but everything we ordered was fantastic. Unpretentious. They serve Saratoga sparkling water.

Don Schmitz

I don't live near this shop, but my daughter does and really likes their pizza, so I've had them a few times.Its not "Pittsburgh style pizza" like you'll find on Murray Ave; the bottom crust is on the thin side and not quite so much cheese. The taste is good, and I'll bet the toppings are fresher and better quality than most places, but after it goes through a pizza oven I'm not sure that's really noticeable, and you pay for it in more $/slice. I've heard their vegan and gluten-free pies are very good, but I've only had their "regular" - I'm guessing those specialty pies are a big part of their business.

Amanda Parrish

We found this quaint little bakery on a whim and we are so grateful we did. Tucked away in a quiet area, it was a hidden gem for us. We bought cupcakes and brownies last week for my son’s birthday and today picked up a wide variety of assorted goods to share with our out of town family and they can’t wait to visit when they come to town next. As a gluten free girlie, I cannot rave enough about the absolutely delicious gluten free goods especially the Peanut ‘better’ Cup. It’s so delicious and nothing is dry and gritty like other gluten free pastries. We are so happy with the quality and consistency of the products.

If you're on a quest for a healthier lifestyle, Orange Avocado Juicery is your ultimate destination. Nestled in the heart of Squirrel Hill, this hidden gem is entirely vegan and gluten-free, offering a haven for clean eaters and anyone with dietary preferences that go beyond the norm. From the moment you walk in, it's clear this place is more than just a juice shop. They offer a wide variety of cold-pressed bottled juices, made-to-order smoothies and bowls, and even guilt-free desserts. The best part? Everything is so incredibly delicious, you’d never guess it's all vegan and gluten-free. I had the chance to sample a few things, and honestly – everything blew me away. Let’s start with the PB Blueberry Smoothie – a dreamy combo of bananas, blueberries, peanut butter, vanilla protein, and almond milk. No ice, just fresh ingredients blended into smooth, creamy perfection. Then came dessert – the vegan peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. Absolutely insane. So rich and flavorful, you won’t miss the dairy one bit. I also grabbed a couple of juices and a wellness shot to-go. The Immunity Shot (carrot, orange, lemon, ginger, turmeric, black pepper) was surprisingly tasty – the fruit flavors shine, and the black pepper is barely noticeable. As for the juices, I tried the Go Green (kale, cucumber, apple, lemon) and Bright Eyes (orange, carrot, ginger) – both were super fresh and vibrant. They’ve also got cookies and grab-and-go options, perfect if you're in a rush but still want something nourishing. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just someone who enjoys clean, flavorful food, Orange Avocado Juicery hits the mark. It’s the kind of place where health-conscious meets flavor-forward – and you’ll leave feeling good in every way. Highly recommend!

Andrew Chongaway

I've had their breakfast and gluten free pizza. Breakfast was omelet and spouse had waffles which we been enjoyed. I'm gluten free so I had the gluten free (celiacs) margherita pizza which was pretty good (wasn't bad, similar crust to other gluten free pizza, solid toppings). I'm not super sensitive with gluten free but didn't feel bad after eating there.

Christine

An amazing gluten free selection, even warm gf bread! The mussels were excellent. The crab cake was lovely with the sauce provided, but the sauce was ~ a quarter teaspoon, too little for a big cake! Otherwise, the views are spectacular.

Christine Granfield

Can make almost everything on the menu gluten free. Very aware of avoiding cross contamination

Shawn Shimkets

Very nice, clean space. Indoor/outdoor. Friendly staff, great food, wide selection of gluten free items clearly marked on the menu. Best thai restaurant I’ve been to in the burgh.

Megan E.S.

Friendly staff, yummy food with gluten free options. We were looking forward to the tiger shrimp entree, but they were out. The waiter recommended the short ribs (pictured) and the sweet potato with mascarpone (so good). We also enjoyed some mocktails, deviled eggs, wedge salad, and bisque (best I've ever had).

Madeline Rigatti

Amazing sushi. I have celiac and they always are cautious about cross contamination and I’ve never gotten sick.

Janis McKinney

The food was very good, as it always is. I don't eat from the buffet because I like the flavors of Indian food but I cannot have spicy (I have GI issues), so I order from the menu at a level 1 heat. They seemed offended that I wanted to order from the menu. I don't know why, it's definitely more expensive than the buffet. My son and his wife ordered the buffet. I also brought wine because they have a very limited wine menu. When they first installed the bar years ago they would still let you bring your own wine for the corkage fee. That is no more and they seemed offended that I asked. I honestly didn't know their policy had changed. So, that was fine, I left my wine in the bag I ordered wine from their menu. After my dinner came out I asked for some raita. That was met with what I would characterize as distain. Finally, since it was my son's birthday and his wife has gluten sensitivities I had brought some french macarons and one small birthday candle so that we could quietly sing. His wife and I literally whisper sang because we were becoming increasingly aware that the staff were giving us the side eye. After that I asked for a check and some boxes for my leftovers (again, NOT FROM THE BUFFET) and they seemed taken aback. But I had ordered the lamb tikka masala, and a garlic nan, and a vegetable korma all from the menu. It was a lot of food and I wasn't about to throw it all away. Food was still amazing but by the time I paid the check we felt very uncomfortable being there. My son said he felt like everyone was staring at us. I have been going to this restaurant for decades and have never been made to feel uncomfortable until last night. It's a shame that the service has changed so might that we didn't feel welcome. And it's not like the place was packed. We went at 7:00 and there were several open tables throughout the seating area. Not sure what was going on that evening but I'll have to think twice about going back. Also, they now provide Styrofoam for leftovers, not the foil containers they used to use. That is like a throw back in time. Fast food places don't even use Styrofoam any more. The service has certainly changed since the new ownership. For shame.

Megan Hanlon

My boyfriend is gluten free and we heard they had amazing focaccia. The staff were so accommodating since they had just ran out (which they said it was the very first time it had happened), and decided to send us out a special appetizer that was phenomenal. We were so happy with the food and the price definitely fit the food- well crafted and delicious. Loved our waitress and the chef even came out to apologize for the gf bread. Would come back !

Ashley Sappe

When I went with my family they were super respectful of allergens. They made sure to prepare all of my food separately from any possible gluten. They have a list of their gluten free foods on their website that they update when they change the menu. The gluten free bun was perfect! It didn't fall apart and felt like a regular bun! They do customizable burgers and every category has gluten free options.

Island Ewert

Amazing place for breakfast. As a person with Celiac disease it's hard to find quality breakfast locations but here they had it all. They restored my desire for breakfast foods. They were also helpful and let me know which items could be accommodated to be made gluten free and those that could not. Helpful staff, delicious food.

Ivan Forrest

Very accommodating to gluten allergies

David Rodriquez

Arnold Powell

Heather Cere

Andy was super attentive, super sweet, and helped navigate the menu with a gluten allergy! Because of Andy and how good the food is, whenever I’m in Pittsburgh I will be back!!!

Shawn Shimkets

They can make many of their dishes gluten free, a rarity for Chinese restaurants. Calamari and general tsos are so good you’d never even know they’re GF. This is a staple in my places to eat when I’m in the burgh.

Brian

We sat by the bar this time, didn't effect the service at all. Refills on drinks and fries were quick and the burgers were amazing, as always. Best burger chain in America, in my humble opinion. Oh, and they have gluten-free burger rolls if you need them!

Arah Katz

We had Mike and he was fabulous! He was very familiar with gluten-free options, gave us opinions on “fan favorites”. He was soooooo good…fast, attentive and gave great recommendations!!

Paula Nathaniel

I ordered the $18 gluten free philly sandwich with half the cheese normally put on the sandwich. It was delivered with no cheese, no mayo, very little meat and mostly lettuce with a small amount of pepper and onion. It was the worst sandwich I ever bought! All you could taste was lettuce and bread. Very disappointed. Was a rip off!
