Top 40 Gluten-Free Restaurants to Explore in South Scottsdale

We had the very first issue ever today. I ordered what we have eaten many times, pancakes (gluten free), bacon and hash browns and my husband gets an omelet meal. We eat here 1-2 times a week. But I will never go back. We called in because the pancakes we got today had a weird sweet after taste possibly too much vanilla. Whatever it was we called in and talked with a manager named Molly. Molly was combative saying she just tried the pancakes and no one else has complained. I have never been treated so poorly by a manager especially if I have a legitimate issue. Her only option was to come back immediately to have them remake. I didn’t have time and said so, she said that was all she could do. She made it clear she didn’t believe me either. She also said she didn’t mind us never coming back. If their customer service is like this I will never go back. Which is sad because this was our favorite restaurant. Molly you tried to make me feel small and instead you just lost a customer for life!

We have been here many times now, each time the food tastes as good as it looks, which is mouth watering! The staff works very hard and efficient even though they seem a tiny bit under staffed. They’ve always been upbeat, compassionate and professional. I love their gluten free and vegetarian options since that’s what my partner is restricted in eating. It’s refreshing to have food in a restaurant that cares about how healthy and customizable their food is. I’ve tried just about every bowl they are all incredible. The sweet potatoes are yummy! You can’t go wrong ordering anything here, safe part of the neighborhood and beautiful atmosphere sitting outside or in

Delicious food and amazing gluten free/ vegan options! The mocktails were fantastic also! Would absolutely come back.

IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.

This place is really cute! They have a gift shop in the lobby, with some eclectic items. The people are super-friendly; and the southern recipes are well prepared. I was, however, kind of disappointed with what I chose, which was the biscuits and gravy. I felt sick to my stomach, afterwards, for hours after, average biscuits were more like the consistency of a pre-packaged, British-style crumpet/scone consistency, plus the gravy tasted really processed with no flavor, OTHER than poor-grade , bulk seasoning mix. My roommate’s selection, though (which she let me try) was good, though, which was a scramble which had spinach, feta cheese and tasted really fresh, and didn’t disappoint in freshness and flavor. If I go back in the future. I’ll be ordering it for brunch! I also got a desert to go from the counter, which was a chocolate peanut butter ganache cupcake that was out of this world! They source their baked goods from small, local vendors in the area, and have many gluten free and vegan options!

Great experience. The restaurant is under construction but it didn’t detract from the experience. Both the managers Eddie and Rachel were fabulous and visited with us. Laura, our waitress kept the sides coming for my gluten free husband. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary lunch!

Deanna Robbins

Love the morning buzz! Super yummy! I did get a gluten free breakfast wrap but the wrap was a bit dry. Still good flavor! Whenever I am in PHX it’s a go to for me.

I have supported Pitch since the day they opened, and I will no longer be doing so. I had a reservation for Saturday night, was seated with my party, and then had to get up 20 minutes later to ask the hostess if we had a server. Another server was approached by the hostess, and he appeared to be reluctant to take our table. He came over to get us drinks while they figured out the server issue, but then stated he would take our table for the night. When ordering our meal, he asked if 2 people in our party wanted the kitchen to split their meal or if they would do it at the table. HOWEVER, he did not mention there would be a $4 upcharge for the kitchen to do so. Then, he told our table to think about dessert because he was going to buy dessert for us given the snafoo. He then clarified that the restaurant would actually be comping the dessert. So when dessert time came, he brought everyone at the table their own dessert menu to order. He took the orders without saying a word. Upon presenting the bill, he then asked if we all ordered dessert because of what he said, to which we replied in the affirmative. He then stated that he could only comp 1 dessert, which left the other people in the party to each pay $11 for a dessert that they each did not even really want but did not want to be rude or disrespectful by declining his original offer. Too boot, there was also a surcharge for using a credit card for payment, which he also failed to relay to our table. My experience with Pitch has been that they charge for every little thing, including a $0.50 salad dressing order change! It's absolutely ridiculous and now getting out of hand. The customer is never told or asked about these additional charges, and over the years, they have just seemed to pile up! Additionally, the quality of the food has significantly declined. The last time I ordered a take out pizza, I had to drive all the way back because it was paper thin, burnt, and hard. The staff suspected they made the pizza with a gluten-free crust instead of the regular crust. The staff also seems to be an issue. It's like a revolving door with new staff with no prior experience. When we were seated, we asked the bus boy for lemons for our water. He proceeded to carry the lemons in his bare hands and then squeeze them into the glasses with his bare hands. Completely unsanitary! Needless to say, Pitch has lost at least 4 loyal customers who reside around the corner. And there will be many more to come once the word gets out in the community.

Fabulous menu and alternatives for gluten free. They can make sandwiches on gluten free bread. Brisket sandwich with chopped salad was so delicious. Others in our party had chicken salad sandwich. Shoestring French fries were delicious. Our server was great. Highly recommend. Plan to go again!

Ashley Adams

Always make me happy and feel included and like I’m not missing out as a Dairy Free and Gluten Free person. I get Barros Special on GF Crust and No Cheese however that do have DF cheese! I got a GF and DF Sub this time for a meal the next day and the bread they use is amazing.

Jeff Wheeler

Such a wonderful experience and their gluten free options are amazing. I highly recommend this place, high quality food and service!

Arthur Aguilar

Will come again!! Kimberly was amazing with all the help she gave us! Gluten free options, not many places like this! Anytime of the day, this is the right choice if you want good food with good people!

John Halpern

I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

If you have allergies, do NOT trust this place. I usually do not feel the need to leave bad reviews but I was very disappointed yesterday with Crust. My boyfriend and I went out to eat for his birthday and I have a wheat, nut, and tomato allergy so before even going there, we called to make sure their Alfredo sauce was wheat free (which I applaud them for having a gf alfredo sauce, not everywhere does). When we got there, I made sure with our waitress that the gluten free pizza crust was nut free as well and told her about my allergies and she reassured me that they have an amazing gluten free crust and they truly sounded like they care. Two big things: the manager (I believe it was the manager) brought us our food and asked if we needed anything else, we asked for parmesan, she brings us a parmesan container and the lid was disgustingly dirty with tomato sauce squished on it. I had my boyfriend touch the container, take the lid off, look inside to make sure it looked safe, and then he poured some on my pizza. I was then about to take a first bite, and noticed tomato sauce where the pizza cutter had touched. It wasn't just a little either, the tomato was in between every slice and very obvious which I am glad it was obvious because I would've gotten very sick. We also looked around, it was not busy when we arrived and we had the only two pizzas in sight so I found it safe to assume they used the same pizza cutter they used on a gluten containing tomato based pizza to cut my gluten free tomato free pizza. Double whammy and not food safe at all. I let the waitress know and she apologized and offered to have them remake it but once my trust is broken with a restaurant that seemed to understand me at first, that trust cannot be rebuilt. So I sat there and drank my drinks while my boyfriend enjoyed his birthday lunch alone. Our waitress asked the chef in the kitchen if he used the same pizza cutter which he replied that he couldn't remember. The manager came out and offered to get me a salad or anything else but I turned it down because I cannot trust this kitchen to care about allergies after I was very clear with my waitress to begin with. I was then offered the gluten free dessert which is chocolate peanut butter cake, a nut product, which made me feel quite uncomfortable as I noted at the beginning that that was an allergy. The waitress was very sweet, but terrible experience for someone with allergies and the manager did not even say that she would have a talk with the kitchen or ensure they would work on their knowledge of safe allergen-friendly food handling. I have worked in a kitchen before and I know allergies are difficult to deal with sometimes, but it is not that hard to use more precaution and cleanliness to ensure better safety. This was a slower early lunch time as well, if they had a packed house, I could see and understand the mistakes, but when there's not many people, these simple mistakes should not happen and are inexcusable. The nice waitress is the only reason this review is getting more than one star, the decorations were cute too, but that was about the only good thing we experienced.

My fiancé and I happened across Veneto Trattoria the other day and cannot believe we haven't made it here sooner. With one visit this has become my new favorite place to eat. First and foremost our waiter, Will, was phenomenal. It was clear that he takes immense pride in his work. He was attentive without being overbearing. He was well-versed in the menu and throughly answered any questions we had. The food... Incredible. My fiancé said he didn't want to tell me how good it was -- but the bread was delicious (I can't have gluten). He ordered and thoroughly enjoyed the Orecchiette Salsiccia e Broccolini. I ordered the gluten-free version of the Tagliatelle Tirolesi. Oh. My. Goodness. It was divine. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I cannot wait for an excuse to go back! For dessert we finished off with the flourless chocolate cake. I love chocolate and this hit the spot. Very chocolatey but not too sweet. So glad we stumbled upon Veneto Trattoria the other night!!

Our department recently hosted a staff retreat lunch at Fate Brewing Company in Scottsdale, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish! Coordinating for a group of 20+ people can be challenging, but the staff handled everything seamlessly. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that everyone in our group felt taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded expectations, especially given our variety of dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian). It’s not always easy to accommodate such diverse preferences, but Fate Brewing did it with ease and flair. The mocktails were another highlight—they were creative, refreshing, and a perfect complement to the meal. Our team left feeling satisfied, impressed, and grateful for such a great experience. Thank you, Fate Brewing Company, for making our lunch a memorable part of our retreat! Highly recommend this place for group events or just a great meal.

Bill Hourigan

Went with a group (8 total) of friends who had recommended this place for breakfast and WOWZA! Everyone at the table LOVED the food (and drinks) they ordered and we ALL have different tastes. Very accommodating, staff was amazing. It was soul-crushing that I could not finish everything. Would go back in a heartbeat! Try the ricotta gluten free pancakes…life changing.

Aaron Finigan

Very welcoming dog friendly patio. Plenty of gluten free options. Food was delicious.

Susan Madu

The regular food was fabulous, too bad our server made a mistake in not placing our gluten free guest’s order as gluten free (an allergy not a preference). Whilst her meal was removed from our bill, after being offered a complementary meal we did have to ask for her replacement meal to be removed from our bill.

I had the day off and decided to meet up with some friends for brunch with my little one! This restaurant is located in the back of the mall, near Nobu and Francine. They have such a nice patio area, which would be great for the cooler months. Inside, there were plenty of seating options. They gave our table a high chair and took our order. We had really great service for our meal and she was very attentive. I ordered the crispy eggs with prosciutto, which came with bread and a bed of arugula. This was really good, and I feel like a pretty good value for prosciutto ($18.) I also ordered their gluten-free blueberry banana bread for my son. It was nice that the bread was not overly sweet, as most banana breads can be. This was a nice location for our little catch-up, and we would love to come again to enjoy their outdoor seating.

Kat Parks

I order from here roughly once a week to two weeks because I love the food. They're also the only place nearby that does a great gluten free pizza. And the Ziggy Fries. Oh my god, the Ziggy Fries. I ask for extra crispy extra garlic and they DELIVER. It was absolutely wasted with garlic yesterday. I consumed it all. Amazing 10/10.

Samantha DeMaio

So excited to have an excellent new restaurant in the area! Service was 10/10 and the food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend the Bistro Steak and cheeseburger. If you’re gluten free you NEED to come here as a large majority of their menu is gluten free friendly. We will be back again soon!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie’s restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the sophisticated décor and the expansive, open layout. The space is thoughtfully designed with cozy booths lining the exterior and high-top tables filling the central area, creating an atmosphere that’s both inviting and chic. The menu at Moxie’s is a culinary feast for both the eyes and the palate. Every dish is artfully presented, and the flavors are nothing short of exceptional. I had the opportunity to try two outstanding items: • FARMERS HASH: This hearty dish combines pancetta bacon, jalapeño pork sausage, roasted vegetables, and pickled onions, all topped with perfectly poached eggs, home fries, and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. The medley of flavors and textures made every bite delightful. • TUNA SUSHI STACK: A visually stunning dish featuring sushi-grade tuna stacked with seasoned rice, avocado, mango, and complemented by a soy ginger glaze and spicy mayo. Served alongside seasoned prawn crackers, it was a refreshing and flavorful treat. The service was equally impressive. Our server was not only attentive and knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and helpful, enhancing our overall dining experience. The staff’s professionalism and warmth made us feel well-cared-for throughout our meal. Overall, Moxie’s hit it out of the park in all areas. From the elegant ambiance to the exquisite cuisine and excellent service, it’s a restaurant that delivers on all fronts. Additional Information: • Ambiance: Perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. • Location: Conveniently situated in Scottsdale with ample parking options nearby. • Reservations: Recommended during peak hours to ensure a seamless dining experience. • Menu Variety: Offers a diverse selection catering to various tastes, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you’re in Scottsdale and looking for a memorable dining experience, Moxie’s is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

Monica Kasper

We had a great experience here across the board. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate a vegan/gluten free diet. The vegan/gluten free dishes were the mushroom dish, cauliflower steak, and squash. The second two dishes required slight modifications to make vegan. The mushroom dish was unique and we ended up getting two because it was so tasty. The shrimp tartine dish was 10/10 as well. They were on top of the service and our primary waiter, Ricky, was incredible. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Highly recommend dining here!

The manger came over ( Wayne) and double checked everything to make sure we got the best deal! Which was kids eat free!!! Thank you. Top notch service! Excellent food! Clean restaurant! Hit all the points.

This vegan food truck is run by the owners of BEG Bakery and they sell food on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The food truck is parked in the BEG parking lot and they usually have a couple of other food trucks there on the weekends. You can order the food inside the bakery and eat there if you don't want to take it to go. The chik'n parm sandwich is fantastic. It comes on a garlic bread twisted roll or a hoagie. You get a choice of the chik'n parm or eggplant parm and you also get pasta salad and a brownie all for only $20. They also gave us a free drink and a sample of their delicious oat milk ice cream. They will be adding more savory options soon as well as a gluten free option. Make sure you pick up some delicious Cupcakes, Brownies, Cinnamon Rolls, Muffins, Ice Cream and thick Shakes after dinner or to take home. I travel all the way from from Peoria to eat at P.A.R.M Italia and BEG Bakery. The owners and employees are the sweetest people!

This place is fantastic! We stumbled upon it when at Goldwater and their menu and beer list is top notch. I’m gluten free and had a variety of options to both eat and drink. Highly recommend! We will be back soon.

Jim Leahy

Chose this because it came up under ‘gluten free’, yet really not many options on the menu.

Angela Bustamante

Was absolutely yummy! I made it gluten free.

Melanie Spence

Super tasty and cute vibe! Fun drinks and tasty food! Got the gluten free crab pasha and it did not disappointment. Staff was informative about allergens.

Lindsay Walsh

Ok but WAY over priced. We got 2 meals, 1 appetizer & 1 beer and without tip our bill was $73. They charge extra for a few corn shells for the fajitas (I'm gluten free) and for a second basket of chips for our party of 4. Won't be going back.
