Best Deep Dish Gluten Free Pizza we have had Period

Jack Phillips

I truly enjoyed the many visits. The gluten free options and delicious flavors of the pasta and sauces is impressive. The vegetable lasagna is a hit with some in my group. I love the fire roasted pepper Alfredo. They offer gluten free bread.

Working with local farmers and producers, they provide a wonderful variety of burgers and snacks. I love Benton's applewood smoked bacon, which appears all over the menu. They also have a great variety of bourbon and other whiskeys. While I am a devoted carnivore, they do offer vegetarian, gluten free, and chicken based patties. I can't speak to their quality, but if the rest of the menu is this good, I have faith they are also delicious. Great place for families, we always stop here when on vacation.

A gluten free goldmine! We found this place on our road trip from TX to NJ. We arrived about 10 minutes after they opened and happy we did because the line was almost to the door! After exploring the menu I understood the hype. As a celiac we are extremely limited on food options but this place left nothing out. In addition to an extensive coffee list there were cinnamon rolls, fried chicken, and biscuits and gravy to name a few. I was already in heaven. The woman at the register was so pleasant and hospitable informed everyone that they were a small operation and that there would be a short wait for some of the items as they were baking in the oven. Coffees came out quickly and food was a little bit after but I would’ve waited hours for what we were about to enjoy. Naturally I had to carb up with cinnamon rolls and biscuits and gravy. I will DREAM about these forever they were soooooo good. So good in fact we ordered cinnamon rolls to go. Show up early and don’t show up in a rush, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for our wonderful gluten free experience !

My fave vegan restaurant in Chattanooga!! such great service, really good food and amazing desserts! the gluten free availability is also awesome

Heather Smith

The restaurant is open and a little bit loud. It was hard to carry on a conversation without yelling. The gluten free options were great. I had the ham eggs benedict with a gluten free english muffin and though the eggs were overcooked, it was still delicious. Highly recommend.

William Edmonds

Outstanding tacos! This location is the best. Great selection of options and gluten-free friendly.

Brianne Bloom

The gluten free pizza was really good. Everyone enjoyed their meal fully. The gluten free chocolate chip cookies are some of the best I've ever had. Thank you for an excellent lunch on our way to Gatlinburg for a family vacation.

Bruce Ralston

Outstanding flavors! Family style eating with plenty of small, medium, and large plate options🤩. 100% gluten free and I promise you wouldn't know it but so wonderful for those who can't gluten 😍

Joseph Ivester

The past several times I’ve been here the service has been perfect, and it’s the best gluten free pizza in the city!

Tapan

Grilled cashew cheese was really good, and so was the soup. Tons of gluten free and vegan options. Desserts are great, as are the smoothies. You order at the register, but they have menus at the front you can grab and look at before ordering. They also have an outside area, some of which is covered. Will definitely come back.

I decided I wanted to spend a little extra time in Chattanooga before I headed home after a continuing ed opportunity. I wanted a coffee and a treat to take on a walk by the river. After a little googling, I settled on Sleepyhead. It was a good choice! This little coffeeshop is inside the James Building. Truth be told, idk what else goes on inside the James Building, but the shop itself is on the left as you enter the front entrance. It's very small and there's only a couple of stools to sit on so it's mostly a grab and go operation, but wow is it adorable inside! I loved the welcoming, dreamy, upbeat vibes, as well as all the plants and the soft neon. One interesting thing on the menu is a couple CBD-infused drinks. Talk about sleepyhead! ;) I'd not seen that before but the concept is intriguing! Employees were super friendly and guided me in the direction of their sweeter current specialty lattes. They said one of the fruitier ones (raspberry? Strawberry? Can't remember) was the sweetest, but I don't like fruity coffee so I chose the pistachio latte instead. They made it for me quickly. I couldn't help but grab a donut and a sticker to commemorate my visit. All their food is vegan here and some of it is gluten free. I can't remember if my donut was GF or not, but I DO remember it being delicious. The icing on top wasn't gritty at all nor was it over sweet. The cake itself was a little bit dense but it kind of worked? I much prefer a cakey donut to an airy one so this was a winner for me! I can't remember if it was chai, Apple cider, or both, but it was definitely a spice cake and super yummy with my coffee. The coffee was tasty and VERY strongly pistachio, which I for one was all about! I love the nutty, slightly sweet, vanilla-y flavor. In a perfect world I like my drinks a little sweeter, but as I said, it's partly on me because the employees did tell me. Still, I enjoyed it very thoroughly and would definitely return. I'll enjoy my sweet sleepyhead cat sticker and think back on this visit fondly!

Staff was very nice & accommodating to our gluten allergies & took extra effort to be sure our order was made safely & correctly! The strawberry lemonade was delicious too! Great job! Thanks MM🍕

Easily, the best version of Detroit-style pizza I have found in all of Tennessee. I was raised in Detroit and specifically on the thick, burnt edged pizza there, and I can tell you that the folks at Community Pie do justice to that tradition. They also have an amazing, Gluten-free, Detroit style, which is almost impossible to find anywhere and allows my wife to join in on the chewy, gooey goodness. Whether at the location downtown or at the one near the mall, service is always good, so it’s a well managed organization. We’ve eaten there many times and will continue to do so as long as they keeping representing “The D” so well.

Sara Lewis

Laura was AMAZING!!! The team was very nice and served us our food in a timely manner. Amazing! Food was great. I have gluten intolerance and they are very attentive to ensuring my safety!!

Faith James

We knew we wanted pizza at our wedding, and after lots of searching and price comparing, we found the dream team in Chelsea and Alyssa at Downtown Mellow Mushroom! From the very beginning, they were amazing—offering us a tasting (with friends included!) and being super flexible with menu tweaks. On the big day, they totally came through in a few key moments, and you could really tell they cared. They took pride in their work and genuinely wanted everything to go perfectly for us when it came to the food. Plus, Mellow Mushroom is just plain delicious, and they were awesome about accommodating our vegan and gluten free guests too.

Amy Wirtz

Great gluten free pizza! Mr T’s has become a go-to dinner spot when we visit Lookout Mountain!

Cheri Cochran

The coffee was great but the pastries were even better! They have many gluten free options! The line was not terribly long but it still took quite a while to order—only one register in the place. Outdoor seating area is quite nice!

Justin Cross

This is an absolute must try if you're in Hixson. My wife is gluten-free and they have the best bread. Have not had anything that was not good. Best cheese steak in Hixson by far.

Sheltie Overlord

Staff is always super friendly. Our waiter Liz was very knowledgable about my celiac allergy and they took care of it! <3

Lisa Joy

We have been here multiple times traveling through. I like to give folks the benefit of the doubt, but multiple times we have waited absurd amounts of time. Placed an online order. Waited 35 mins PAST when it was told to be ready and left empty handed. Turned out the kitchen was out of gluten free bread and couldn’t make it. The lady up front tried to help and offered a free drink, but that’s not why I was there. So, they refunded and did apologize. I always appreciate an apology, but it was poor communication from the kitchen. (Again, we’ve been here multiple times and slow service is a repeat.)

Mike Calhoun

Outstanding food and wonderful service. Very gluten-free friendly for our Celiac family. Portions were generous for the price. Very convenient to Rock City and Ruby Falls. Highly recommend!

Aileen Finley

Best gluten free pizza ever 🤤

Doug Walter

Good gluten free pizza too!

Bruce Gibson

A dual birthday celebration led is too the Acropolis Grill. The food was delicious, Lucy our server was wonderful, and we had the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy beautiful weather. I had the Gyro Dinner with a Greek salad. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked, the pita bread was good, and the rice was well prepared. One of our party was provided a vegetarian menu, and they also provided a gluten free menu. We'll definitely be going back here!

jmoss2543

Food is always good at First watch. Good gluten free options as well.

Asha Mei

Always have a great experience here! The people are sweet and the food is so good!! There are options for everyone, including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian. Will come again!

We expected a little more for our anniversary dinner. My husband specifically chose this restaurant for our anniversary as a treat for me. Server was fine. Hostess was in a hurry to just sit us at a table and run. Food was OK. I am gluten-free so I do realize that makes things a little different. The gluten-free menu was inaccurate in both price and product. The salmon I ordered only came with one side instead of two and cost more. The server did let me know that before I ordered. The side both my husband and I wanted, garlic mashed potatoes, was no longer available. I got a loaded baked potato, which was not loaded. It had things in it, but the potato was actually quite dry. My husband‘s mashed potatoes came cold. The server was quick to resolve the issue. His marsala chicken was OK. It was our anniversary so we were hoping for more. We did mention this to both the hostess and the server that it was an anniversary dinner. server did tell us happy anniversary, but this was not an anniversary experience. Even the table we sat at was not the best view, though it was OK.

James & Ann Yearout

Gluten free crust is amazing

Lisa Kellman

Very clean!! Great Gluten-free menu. They seem to take gluten allergy seriously thank god. We go every time in town.

Christine

Adelle’s did not disappoint! We went for Sunday breakfast and was delighted to see live music and a welcoming casual atmosphere. Service was quick, and the manager (I wish I had asked her name) was very sweet and attentive. The food was delicious, especially the hash browns. The bacon was crispy, and they even have gluten free crepe’s available! 10/10 we would absolutely eat here again when in the area.

Ann Yearout

I had a great experience at Red Robin. I ordered gluten free turkey burger and it was delicious and flavorful! I really appreciate the gluten-free options which can be hard to find at casual dining spots. The endless sides were a fun bonus and everything came out hot and fresh. The customer service was excellent, friendly and attentive. Overall a great place with good food and top notch service!

Patricia Foye

This restaurant is exactly what we were looking for, the food was absolutely delicious! I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for healthy food and a great atmosphere. Gluten free options +++

Nicki StJohn

Coffee shop with simple breakfast options as well. Gluten-free bagel sandwiches and good coffee.

Michelle Hougland

Absolutely Delicious!!! Had Brisket and they were great with my gluten and dairy allergies. Will be back next time I'm in town. Great atmosphere too! Love the police, first responder decor and support for our heros!

Riversana Williamson

I loved that they have gluten free options, and asked whether my choice was allergy or preference. That makes a huge difference when a restaurant acknowledges the difference. Love their food. First time at this location, just as good as the Gunbarrel & North Shore locations.

Meghan

Cute coffee shop. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. Parking lot next to shop (free)

Marc Sing

This place is amazing! Had the chips and salsa and you definitely need to try the mango habanero!!!! Their queso is great as well! Wife is celiac and they were so knowledgeable and considerate! She has the birria tacos which were phenomenal! Everything was great and if we weren’t traveling we would definitely be back! Gabby helped us and she was wonderful and nice as well!

Sarah Chism

Came here for a date night and it didn't disappoint! Kevin was super sweet and accommodating with my gluten allergy. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Magdiel Zuniga

Life saver being open a bit later on a Sunday! My wife can only eat at vegan places due to her gluten and dairy allergy and finding good places to eat is always a challenge but this place really delivered!! Price is reasonable too

Kris Lucey

Lots of gluten free options! Food was delicious! The food was amazing! Even though it was Father's Day and a little on the busy side there was little to no wait! We'll be back!

Ariane Ireland

Such kind people! And lots of gluten free options clearly marked on the menu, the food was fresh and delicious!

I will start this off by saying I know Honey Seed is not the place to eat if you’re gluten free, but most times in life it’s about what the majority wants, even if your options are limited. Decided to try the gluten free pizza on our visit yesterday. I chose the breakfast pizza which included hashbrowns as a topping. The server mentioned how the tater tots are like a hush puppy, which clued me in to them having gluten. But I assumed if the hashbrowns had gluten, the server would’ve let me know so we could take it off the pizza. When the pizza came out I could tell there was gluten on it so they happily brought out another one no problem. I was hangry at that point & the pizza looked fine so I ate a few slices & went on about my day. Now that I’m looking at these leftovers, I can tell there’s hashbrowns on them, which makes me think they just picked off the hashbrown pieces instead of making a new pizza. I am disappointed at this discovery! This is a lesson to all- don’t take your gluten free loved ones here. There’s not enough choices nor knowledge from staff

Tracie McInnish Murrah

Probably the most under appreciated restaurant in Chatt! Great food every time with GF pad Thai that my celiac boys love!

Lauren Elizabeth

Pizza!

Courtney Barton

This place was amazing!! The waitstaff was super knowledgeable about their gluten free options and took all the precautions. The chef made the bisque from scratch since the one on the menu actually has gluten in it and it was the BEST!! He also made the gator bites with corn meal instead of the regular breading so I would be able to eat it (this was also so so good)! Will definitely go back there again!

Robert Rahl

My wife and I enjoyed this quite a bit. The only unfortunate thing was that the GF French Toast wasn't safe for celiac but it was safe for those who simply like to eat GF.

Jill

Stopped here for lunch. I asked about corn tortillas. My waitress asked if it was for gluten free. Explained the could do anything with a corn tortilla. The Mexican rice would be cross contaminated as well as anything fried. She offered a double portion of beans. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Abby Dylag

The best pizza in town! Both regular and gluten free are delicious. Both white sauce and red sauce are great, and we have not tried a pizza we didn’t like
