Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Tucson

H E

We have visited Rocco's every year, typically multiple times, that we have visited AZ and thought the pizza was very good. This year was disappointing. My wife's gluten free had a less than satisfactory taste, my regular crust pepperoni/bacon was ok my not up to prior years' experiences. I doubt we will return in the future.

One of the best gluten free crusts I've ever tasted

Wow. I was so excited to try Vero Amore. I was astounded by how much our server hates gluten free and was completely unwilling to even discuss options. I asked about sauces for the pasta and she said, “I don’t know what you are allergic to, the description on the menu tells you what is in it” I wound up with gf penne with crushed tomato sauce and baked chicken. I was told I couldn’t have any cheese as it all had gluten. She was aggressively unwilling to help to the point I had to ask for her to get someone else to help me. I didn’t choose to have celiac disease and I know it can be hard for restaurants. I try to ask reasonable questions to stay safe and have never encountered this level of unwillingness to even try to accommodate. I thought going to a local restaurant with gluten free options on the menu would be fun and it turned out to be embarrassing and uncomfortable for our entire party in a way that I have never experienced. I gave one stars because I didn’t get sick. It was flavorless food and the worst service I have ever experienced. Don’t go here. Actually, the bar tender was really nice and the drinks were great. The GM was also really nice when we talked with him before our meal.

It pains me to write this review because I do really love the vegan fried rice here (one of the few gluten free and vegetarian options on the menu) but on NUMEROUS occasions (seriously four or five times now) we have either driven to the restaurant or ordered online only to be told they can't prepare our food because their burners are occupied. I understand that this is a small business, however, it's extremely frustrating to be refused service over and over again. I'm not sure if this is only an issue with the vegan fried rice dish or not, but if that is the case you shouldn't advertise vegan/gf food on your menu that you're unable or unprepared to make on a regular basis. It makes absolutely zero sense to advertise a dish on your menu and then turn your paying customers away....but that's just my personal opinion. For this reason my family and I will sadly no longer be spending our money at this establishment because we dont wish to have our time wasted repeatedly anymore :)

Nice selection of toppings you can load on top your pie, wife likes gluten free option.

Robin Stone

We love going to Sauce. They have gluten free pasta. If you like a little kick, try the spicy sausage pasta. If you prefer no heat, the cheesy chicken broccoli pasta is the bomb.

The gluten free pizza is not very good ! The burgers are good

Seana Washburn

This place is the best dang Chinese food I’ve ever had, not only that. They can make gluten free on most their plates. And it taste just as good. Seriously, I could eat this every single night. Me and the hubby love it! We drive across town just to eat there. Lady who owns the place is super sweet also.

Steve Jain

Excellent Mexican cuisine...not just the regular dishes, tortilla stuffed chicken and shrimp poblano elegante enchiladas, plus more Guacamole made table side. One of the best micheladas I've had. Almost everything can be gluten free (except burritos) with corn tortillas. Service is friendly. Outdoor seating when it's seasonable.

Meli Sandell

Very knowledgeable! They take it seriously when you say gluten free. Many options to choose from

Chris Spidle

Great meal- I had the red enchilada special and a mesquite latte. Make sure to hit the salsa bar. Service was fast and friendly. Tons of gluten free options.

Meli Sandell

Have eaten there plenty of times with no issues. They have a separate fryer for fries and tots. They take GF seriously.

Ella Weiss

I LOVE this place...they have the best burgers and fries!! The wheat free buns are fantastic...Im celiac and can't have any wheat/oats...I've never had cross contamination problems at Graze. I also can't eat any dairy and about 30 other foods...they are good about making sure my burger has no cheese and no Graze sauce.

Hilda O'Dell

Gluten-free pizza (Barro's pizza) and the gluten-free italian sandwich are delicious. Customer service needs improvement.

R AB

I have been frequenting this restaurant for years. The food is so good & capuchino is delightful. The employees are super always making sure you have everything & the employees who clear the table are on top it removing dirty dishes & refilling water. They have a delicious freshly baked bakery. I tried their gluten, dairy free cinnamon cake which was an absolute 10. Their gift shop is really great with unique & funny gifts.

R AB

I have mixed feelings. When we arrived the service was great & the waitress took an interest in our allergies (gluten, dairy). She told us about cross contamination & was so great. Two of us were served our sandwiches (which were very good) but our friend did not receive her salad. We ordered a cutlery board & it came 1/2 way through our meal but the hummus was covered in cheese. I had to send it back We finished our meal & our plates were cleared . A waitress (Shane) came with just a plate of gluten free bread. I explained that I sent hummus cutlery board back because it had cheese & decided to just cancel. However, I was charged for the hummus cutlery board even though it was never served. When I told her, she seemed upset, grabbed the receipt & said she would have it removed. Crazy experience. The guy who refilled our drink & cleared out table was super excellent.

Grace Carlisle

Absolutely amazing. My sibling took me here and every bite was like heaven. There was a line, and the associates up front were efficient. I chose from the gluten free options of a soup with crispy pork belly and a side of rice. They bring it to you steaming, and every bite is better than the next. The peanuts complimented the dish beautifully, and I tried the tofu as well (the best tofu I’ve ever had). I also got a lemon honey drink, and it was so delicious. They come around to see how everything is, which is a nice touch. I will add this restaurant to my repertoire, I love them!

Jennifer Shawgo

Love this place! First the food is phenomenal and the staff are always so welcoming and helpful. But have you had their cakes??? OMG they are amazing!!! I have ordered cupcakes on multiple occasions and my guests are always impressed by how delicious they are and always say “I can’t believe these are vegan and gluten free!”. My daughter graduated UofA this week so I ordered a cake for her party. WOW! It was gorgeous and so yummy! Everyone must try this place vegan or not you will love the food!

Marcos Almonte Perez

Gluten free Options! Amazing Cuban Food. Wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service. Ask for Anna.

Charlotte Thornley

Always delicious and I loved watching the employee take care of the teenage person in front of me who had Celiac disease. They did a great job changing gloves and looking up info on the sauces. (This issue is close to my heart since it affects my family too.)

Mike Strittmatter

So, a few weeks ago, I had put up a scathing review. I can honestly say they have gone above and beyond to fix the situation and won me back as a customer. My girlfriend is celiac (severe gluten sensitivity) and loves BJs because there are many choices just for her and loves the strawberry lemonade. Last night, we ordered via Door Dash for date night, and everything came hot and delicious. Cooked to perfection and 100% accuracy on the order. Thank you for taking such good care of us and expect us as regulars for a long time.

Cobie Jones

Great food & vibe! Lots of gluten free options and super yummy!!

Clint Nelson

We go almost every weekend. Gotta love the big biscuits that are delicious. Also some Gluten free options for several menu items.

Erin

I have traveled several countries and eaten many pizza's, but Barro's has the best! I don't know what they do to make it so delicious, but whenever we are in Tucson visiting family, we always look forward to eating there. Perfect balance of flavors. Never too hot. Just 🤌🏻 perfection. I am always pleasantly surprised by the price! Keep it up! They do have gluten free dough! Check out the menu online for more info!

Robert Stevenson

Love the gluten-free options.

Paola Velo

I ordered at the drive thru and there was a big line but it was moving really fast. I waited no more than 5 minutes. Service was great, very nice employees and food was delicious. The protein style is great for gluten free diet and more healthy.

Hilda O'Dell

The food is delicious. I appreciate the gluten-free substitutions. When we place our order, we request fries to start with since they are bottomless. Nine times out of 10, we don't get them before our meal comes out, even though we are told we will. We don't have that issue at other locations outside of Tucson. The customer service is a hit-or-miss, depending on the server.

Erin Hamilton

Great tamales, great (welcoming, nice, helpful) service. Good vegetarian options, and clear markings for veg vs. vegan and gluten free. Sides are delicious too. Don’t forget some cinnamon crisps to go!

Rhonda Hall

Love MOD! But next time I must get gluten free crust! I've eaten it before without reaction, but this time it tore up my gut. Not sure if each place is different. But still love Mod!

Angela Murphy

Short & Sweet Comfy, art-filled café on 4th Ave, perfect for a bite, local vibes, and supporting the community. Brewing coffee and connection in Tucson’s heart. Longer Musings Café Maggie’s on 4th Ave is the kind of coffee shop that fits you like an old pair of denim—comfortable, worn-in, and ready for all the possibilities. Nestled just steps from the 4th Ave Streetcar and close to the University of Arizona, it’s got an effortless artsy vibe that just is what it’s meant to be—an authentic local spot. Inside, rotating local art fills the walls, community event flyers are tucked along the windows, and a mutual aid water station outside speaks to the café’s dedication to supporting neighbors. It’s the kind of space where chance meetings birth creative change, where ideas flow as easily as the coffee, and revolutionary conversations stoke impassioned visions for tomorrow. You’ll find me here on sunny afternoons with my favorite drink, an extra dirty hot chai latte- perfection! ☕️ 🥧 Their menu has something for everyone, whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, have restrictions, or simply curious. Today I had the avocado toast and was pleasantly surprised to find they kept it simple and let the flavors speak for themselves! Not sure what to order? Just ask—the staff is as welcoming as the space itself. With seating inside and out, nearby metered parking, and convenient options to pay with cash, card, or tap, Café Maggie’s makes grabbing a coffee or meal here easy. And don’t miss the people-watching! Located near the University and in the heart of historic 4th Ave, it’s perfect for a quick escape, gathering with friends, or just being in the moment.

Chris Durnan

Ate it so fast didn't grab a photo. But absolutely delish. One of our favorite weekend breakfast stops when we're near by. I love the gluten free omelette. The smoked tomato has the perfect extra flavor. It's absolutely yum. I tend to stick to one item once I find it, but my husband has tried many different offerings and never a complaint. Highly recommend stop by and take a try. Not sure the bloody Marys are gluten free, but I drool every time one walks by the table. Give it a try.

Niles Schwartz

Excellent glutinous free pizza. Also there's a couple other gluten free pastas. Antipasto salad was good too.

Sherry Raschella

Great food! Especially if you are gluten intolerant. But food is really good!

Ryan Stigleman

Pretty good burger. Nothing crazy good like Freddy's, but way better than a lot of chains. The reason this place stands out is the gluten free buns. They warm them up in the wrapper and they get soft and warm. It's pretty awesome to have it that way.

Valeska V Cromer

First Watch is my kind of place. Excellent and happy service, good menu with healthy choices and delicious food. We enjoyed 2 different versions if The Elevated Egg. One with gluten- free bread and one with sourdough with coffee. Then enjoyed one of their truly good for you health drinks. Kale Tonic and the new Watermelon Lime Drinks. Never all sugared out .Thankyou for a good start to my day First Watch!

Ren W

We had a great time. We had a large party and it was kinda busy so there were a few minor hiccups in service but overall it was good. The food was great, if a bit greasy. They even had an entire menu for gluten free folks and the food off it was just as good as the not gluten free food. They were very accommodating of our strange food requests and the food came out in a timely manner, considering the size of our party. Overall, a great little spot. Definitely consider a reservation if you have a large party (it was very easy to get a reservation). Highly recommend and we will probably be back.

Hannah Stewart

One of my favourite places in Tucson. I've come several times and every experience has been amazing. The food is delicious, and I love it because there are gluten-free options for meals I can't usually eat (like French toast). The service has always been top-notch. The atmosphere in the morning is very chill and cosy, especially with the sun streaming in the windows. Towards lunch time it gets a little busier but the layout helps with separation.

Alex Harrington

My wife is Celiac and we have eaten here multiple times without issue, subbing the pasta with GF, and notifying the staff. That's a win for us! Plus, the food is great here too, we love the Sonoran twist on everything. It seems they keep shortening the menu unfortunately, but at least the food is good, especially the Birria pizza.

Rebecca Martz

Amazing first experience at Fleming's. They've got a slew of Gluten Free options, and even a separate menu. The petite filet was phenomenal, asparagus and mushrooms super tasty and Joe, our waiter, was absolutely kind and just wonderful! I'd be happy to go back some day!

Terry La France

Great food! Gluten-free options! My own coffee pot and warm syrup! We love this place!

M H

I can't help but give top marks across the board. Great food, great service, and a clean restaurant. Most importantly for me, personally, this establishment is trained from front to back on gluten allergies. Only my daughter has this issue and she's quite sensitive to gluten contamination. She loved her lettuce-bun cheeseburger, fries and milkshake so very much. She had no issues with the food she enjoyed. As a parent with this rare issue, In & Out came through. It is one of the few places we can dine as a family. 10/10 we will be back, a lot.

Jon S

We love this place. The njera is great and the dishes fresh and well prepared. Staff are friendly and attentive. Hint: Try the gluten-free njera... it is made with a different grain and has a delightfully nutty flavor. Highly recommend.

james Herrmann

Good service and food. They need more gluten free options.

John Diet

Really enjoyed their house black bean burger and homemade fries. Vanilla gluten-free cupcake for dessert was awesome. The staff is super attentive and friendly ...very good vibe about the place. Purchased some deli meat from the refrigerated section and one of the staff gave us a sample of their homemade vegan roast beef. Look forward to trying that tonight.

Rachel Araiza

Great restaurant with lots of gluten free options and the tea was amazing!

Talismae Copeland

Great restaurant close to Albertsons and my dry cleaners. Perfect stop after errands. Everyone seems to love it too, very crowded and well staffed. Lots of gluten-free and dairy-free options to choose from on the menu. I'm going back and sit out on the patio in the shade and soak up the vibes.

Eileen Kelly

The $13 pazookie meal deal is amazing! Just got diagnosed with celiac disease so finding a safe restaurant that has protocols in place is tough. But, BJs has it all set. I ordered the gluten free pizza and pazookie. Chad one of the managers came out of his way to let me know that all gloves were changed, separate utensils were used and extra cleaning was done to avoid cross contamination. Also our server Christiana was extremely knowledgeable on what items were GF. Great place to come! 10/10 experience!!!!

Susan Quinn

Beautiful outside, a wee bit windy 💨 Great service. The phenomenal gluten free blueberry-oatmeal pancakes were not made as well as the Bisbee Breakfast Club on Kolb/Carondelet, (pancake batter not cooked and 2nd pancake, ok.) I picked at my pancakes. Had friends from out of town and didn’t want to complain. My colleagues meals were delicious! Next time will say something and of course WILL GO BACK AGAIN ❣️

Woody James

We ate breakfast here twice while in Tucson. It was very clean with a menu that was very gluten friendly. My wife who is gluten sensitive was able to get gluten free toast at no extra cost which was very refreshing since we know from experience it is more expensive to buy. We had the works omelet with potatoes. While I normally prefer hash browns these were the best fried breakfast potatoes I remember ever having. Very tasty, not greasy and the onions were sweet a great combination. While my wife and I tend to favor family run hole in the wall places this chain was a real treat.
