Top 8 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in West San Jose

Catherine Wong

I’ve been eating at various 5 guys for years. I stopped by this location while visiting family in the area. When I ordered my lettuce wrap burger the guy at the register clarified by asking if it was a preference choice or allergy. Then asked if I wanted my orders in separate bags since I had a bun with my husband’s order. I’ve never had anyone ask or treat my gluten intolerance with such respect. Major props to this location, their training and the politeness of this gentleman. And the seasonings on their Cajun fries was perfect!!! Many other places skimp out and it’s disappointing, but not here.

Dad was gonna go noodle place next door, but it was crowded so we went here. Normally, I dont eat pizza but when I peek in the window, they had these huge looking slices with tons of toppings on it. Im used to pizza having thicker crust ( which is why I avoid pizza..too much gluten) but the crust here is very thin. What I love is thin crust and tons of toppings. I lived in Ontario (Canada) for awhile in in Ontario pizza places hardly put toppings on their pizza. So when I saw Pizza Heart had tons of toppings, I said I got to try this place. Dad wanted a Salad...he told me to pick. They have salads ranging from 6, 7, 8 dollar salad to 9 dollars. I chose the most expensive salad ( Chicken & Walnut) it comes with lots of candy walnuts on side, Gorgonzola cheese ( I think it might have been blue cheese or I dont know the difference), Basalmic dressing, chicken and spring mix. It had tons of spring mix so I thought it was a nice full salad for only 9 dollars. And they have cheaper salads like Ceasar with Chicken for 8 dollars, Greek for 7 dollars I think and I think the cheapest salad is only 6 dollars? for just mixed veggies...im not sure if you get to choose your dressing for the others ( or its included inside the salad) but I saw Italian and Ranch in case you pick the dressings. So I thought Salad was good deal since you get alot of salad. Plus if you get the most expensive salad ( Chicken Walnut) for 9 dollars plus a slice of Pizza you get free medium drink. The pizza slices are from 5 dollars to 6 dollars ( plus 7 for most expensive slice of pizza) but most of the pizza slices look like only 5 dollars. I cant wait to get the bf to try this place since when we lived in Ontario he kept on going to one place that hardly gave him toppings. So I want him to try this place, he will be amazed at all the toppings ( either tons of pepperoni or tons of veggies) he will get.

Excellent, 10/10. Every part of the experience was great the food was amazing, service was friendly and fast. We got our food super quickly even though the place was slammed. We got the signature miishen with wagyu and spicy beef miishen, both were excellent. I’m celiac and the staff was able to confirm that the dishes we wanted were gluten free. The chef came out and greeted us and offered extra noodles to addd to our dishes. Can’t wait to go back!
