Top 5 Gluten-Free Sandwich Spots to Delight in Erie

Madelynn Arquette

I was visiting from out of state and stumbled upon this sandwich shop — and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and went out of their way to accommodate my needs. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. The food was absolutely fantastic. Flavorful ingredients, generous portions, and a menu that offered creative options while still delivering the classic favorites. What truly stood out to me was how allergy-friendly this place is. As someone who needs to eat gluten-free, it can be tough to find sandwich shops that understand cross-contamination and take it seriously — but Picasso’s did. The staff took the time to listen to my needs, explain the menu clearly, and offer safe, thoughtful options. They even had a gluten-free brownie for dessert! Whether you have dietary restrictions or not, this is a must-visit spot. Great food, even better people. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Good experience. Hailee the server was awesome. Tons of gluten free and allergen menu. Amazing view, good decor and ambiance, relaxing. Portions are huge. Would prefer smaller with more quality. Shrimp on flatbread didn’t have any flavor and was a bit tough. Lots of cheese/oil, but nothing bad tasting. Pork was well cooked, tender and juicy.

Fun variety of subs to choose from. Their hot subs are wonderful! Gluten-free rolls are available and work well. Fountain and bottled drinks available. Toppings are limited, which didn't bother us, but it's good to mention. Fast, friendly service. Questions are answered with no eye-rolling. 😊

We got the nachos, cheeseburger with gluten free bun, fries, and the reuben. Nothing came out hot. The nachos were cold and soggy, barely had anything on them, and were super salty and just gross. The gluten free bun was stale and it fell apart. The fries were cold and greasy. Maybe they should make better food not bigger food. We left most of our food on the table and server didn’t seem to care. $51 for the worst food i’ve had in a long time. The best part was the red cream soda.
