Top 22 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens to Explore in Rochester

The best gluten free pizza I've ever had! I've been let down so many times by both local and chain pizza places. Most gluten free pizzas are too dense, taste like vegetables (when there aren't any in the pizza), and/or too thin which is usually burnt. Pizza Wizard offers a thick and fluffy gluten free pizza crust that my pizza loving, non-gluten free partner even thought was great! Highly recommend.

Super friendly staff, excellent gluten free bread and pastries. Very reasonable prices. Some of the best gluten free cupcakes I’ve ever had.

When family and friends visit us in Rochester, we typically go to the Owl House because it offers so many dietary options. We have vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, and meat eaters. No matter who we take, we always leave super satisfied, bellies full of amazing food and drinks. Even though we've visited The Owl House at least 6 or 7 times in the two years since we've moved to the Roc, this is the first time I knew I HAD to leave a review. We've always had great service, but Willow is by far one of, if not THE best server I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was a server for years, and game recognizes game. She was funny, her timing was perfect, but her suggestions? I typically order steaks, pasta, or seafood dishes. This girl had me ordering pork chops for dinner, and it was the best pork chop I've ever had! Absolutely amazing! She made our evening out with our PA family perfect. I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't already, the atmosphere, the food, the service, the menu options...it's all there.

Love this place! I’m a vegetarian, and my spouse is vegetarian and has a gluten allergy, and the Red Fern was able to accommodate with no issue whatsoever. We even had our choice of bakery items to choose from, which is practically unheard of. Only downfall is the staircase to enter, so it’s not particularly accessible, but they do have plenty of outdoor seating on the ground level.

Kelly was amazing to work with, she helped with my bridal shower in May with cookies, and gluten free funfetti cake that tasted amazing! My husband and I loved it so much we decided to use them again for our dessert on our wedding day 6.22.25. The wedding cake was beautiful and it tasted amazing as well (almond flavored cake with raspberry filling). We also had mini cup cakes, cream puffs, mini brownies with frosting all gluten free, and regular mini eclairs, and mini cannoli's. Everything was so delicious. We will keep Get Caked for future events and would definitely recommend them for any of your events!!

There's a limited variety of baked goods, but they're all excellent! Also, one of the few places where you can get gluten-free and vegan options that are just as delicious as the flour/dairy ones :)

Steve Rankin

Great place for a burger, gluten free fried chicken sandwich, an adult bevvie, or a game of pinball

This is a great place for a quick bite. As the name suggests, the place is geared towards making your own pizza, which can be fun. If you have a hard time making decisions, fear not, since they also have pizza combinations suggested for the guest as well. The menu offers vegan and gluten free options. The staff are friendly, and prices are reasonable.

I love this place. It's been several years since they opened and the pizza is still as good as it was then. My go to pizza: white sauce, feta, mozzarella, spinach, chicken, artichoke, roasted tomatoes, with a basil herb after bake is so yummy. They even have gluten free pizza. Highly recommend!

Love this place for the gluten free and vegan options! Super delicious and friendly staff!

Master Falafel does not get enough credit. They have tons of gluten free, vegan, and vegetarians options and there food is always delicious. Their falafel is perfect. Staff is always nice and you can tell they take pride in what they do.

Zora Gussow

Amazing vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Takeout is easy and fast, eating in is suuuch a vibe. I feel like I'm in old Astoria. Brunch is their best offering. Bring cash!

Quaint little child-friendly spot offering good drinks and good food. However, if you plan on ordering food, you better have some time on your hands. It is not uncommon, from our experience, for food orders to take upwards to 50-60 minutes. Last time we ordered, it took 48 minutes for us to get two wraps that didnt even require any ingredients to be cooked. No explanation, no apology. The gluten-free wrap was in pieces and required a knife and fork (see image). Once again, everything is always delicious, but the speed of service is occasionally mind-boggling.

Tapas 177 is such an incredible restaurant in every single way from food to drinks to service to the vibe. This review is about catering!! We worked with Chris Z who is an absolutely phenomenal person. Chris helped us pick out our menu and coordinated everything with us — all the way down to mentioning changes in texture from our usual restaurant experience to general effects of transport/time! Everything was delivered on time and set up perfectly. Even better, it was DELICIOUS and EVERYONE was extremely happy with the options!!! One thing Tapas 177 does exceptionally well is dietary restrictions. They’re very clear about risks with shared fryers but also take great care to label things. The variety on the menu allowed for us to cater gluten free and vegan without settling for things we weren’t interested in. Variety!!! So sorry to my future children but eating a mountain of Tapas 177 spring rolls with my wife on our wedding day is impossible to top. Thank y’all so much!!!!!

I used to have the most amazing experiences here, never had any issues. However I went here for Valentine’s Day and my pasta definitely tasted like regular pasta (if you know, you know). I asked the waitress to check with the cook and since we were sitting right by the kitchen, we saw the chef get mad because they had just closed the kitchen and he didn’t want to make a new meal and said to “just tell her it’s gluten free”. I brought this up to management with no response, so I won’t be returning here sadly.

I'd give them higher stars but today they changed their Mac and cheese from gluten free to gluten-rich without posting anything or sharing any information about it and now my celiac friend is super sick. They just made the switch, so if you're celiac or can't tolerate gluten, be warned !!!

I ordered from Squatcho's for a student dinner hosted by my academic department: three pizzas and garbage plates. I could only try the garbage plate because that was the Gluten Free option, but it was really great -- the Mac salad is some of the best gf pasta salad I've had. The pizza went down easy among my peers and smelled AMAZING. Made me want some. Great vegan option.
