Bella Holt

The deserts are so good I definitely recommend

TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either. Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing. Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds. Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy. Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.

Love this place to enjoy quality food with my celiac daughter.

Samantha Anondson

This place is the one place I go to where I feel and know what I’m eating is safe! Tons of options to choose from!

Samuel Hanson

The only place that has such a wide variety of gluten free options in Minnesota

We visited during our vacation and had an incredible experience. Our server, Ellie, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and ensured that my daughter, who has Celiac, had all the items clearly marked as gluten-free. They use separate fryers and cooktops, and even offer gluten-free buns and wings! The food was so delicious that we decided to come back the very next day!

Melina Lee

They make the best gluten free and vegan breads. The cinnamon rolls are amazing and should definitely be eaten as soon as you can while it’s still warm

Perry Andrews

It's so great to have a restaurant in our town that so consistently creates and serves the community wonderful, fresh, sustainable, delicious food. And for someone who has to be gluten free, to be able to have something like the GF pumpkin pancakes of my last visit is the bomb.

Elizabeth Holland

I’ve accepted that I’ll never be a judge on Master Chef, in return I’d accepted that I’d never have an experience where you bite into a dish and get to be absolutely astounded by all the flavors and profiles that come along with it… until I ate at Colita! We had the Pate and it was nothing short of remarkable! The staff was top tier, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting! I’m completely gluten free and could order anything on the menu! We had the best time! Thank you for hosting us and giving us an exceptional experience start to finish! 💕

Ivars Linde

We asked for a gluten-free pasta, and it was cross contaminated. The person that ate it ended up getting sick.

Molly Vielhauer

almost the entire menu can be modified to gluten free!

Lisa

Great gluten-free pasta dish.

Melanie Epp

Everyone is always happy with their meals. Good option for vegans, vegetarians, and those avoiding gluten. The Elote is my current favorite pizza

Molly Beard

Whoa. Gluten free Italian that tastes incredible? Yep. I'll be back again!

Erin A

Great experience here with celiac disease, visiting with a friend who also has celiac. We were both impressed by the confidence of the staff in describing the precautions they take when notified of gluten sensitivity, as well as their overall friendliness. Everything on the menu is gluten free besides the regular buns. Highly recommend!

Yixiu Chen (Christina)

Lots of vegan and gluten free options

Ashley Stillwell

A nice place for a quiet evening or a meal on the patio if the weather is right. We come here semi-regularly. I like the fact that they offer gluten free pasta, and I’ve never had a gluten reaction to their food. They also use real olive oil instead of cheaper alternatives (ie. soybean, etc.) I have a soy allergy so this is a big deal for me. Their gluten free flat bread is one of our favorite things to order. The Alfredo sauce is a little heavy in my opinion, but I love the other sauces.

Erin A

I had a great experience here with celiac disease. The server answered my questions confidently and personally walked me through the menu. They confirmed when bringing out the cauliflower appetizer that it had come from the dedicated fryer. I enjoyed a burger and tater tots. Highly recommend!

Heather Zach

Who thought with celiac disease you could go to a mall and be 100% safe to eat while you are out!! Not until today!! Food was delicious... Loved being able to get some fried food without worry of cross contamination. Everyone should try it... Even if you don't have a gluten problem! The cheese curds... Yum!!!

Heather Kizer

This was my 4th time dining here. We made a reservation for our party of 6, which worked out well, as the restaurant filled up fast. We were celebrating my oldests bday (fyi - they don't offer a dessert or anything if it's your day). I have Celiac and the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to ordering. Our table shared cheese curds (amazing!) onion rings (not bad) as appetizers to start with. They have a variety of sauces. The harissa was great with the curds. One Daughter said the cowboy burger was THE best burger she's ever had! My other daughter is vegan, and she enjoyed the mushroom tacos, and cauliflower bites. The tacos and bowls are very good, and filling ... The coconut curry soup is so flavorful. The craft cocktails are delicious although a bit pricey. They make all their syrups in house though, so great quality. I recommend the rumpshaker. They offer a variety of beers on tap, mocktails, and a couple N/A beers, and liftbridge root beer. There is a pinball machine near the bathrooms. Fun - but it's $2 per game. There's a few parking spots next to the restaurant. Otherwise it's street parking.

Abigail Vargas

Found about this place in the gluten free places app, we loved the good, the ambiance and the service. Will definitely come back if we are around

Mona Edmonds

Great food. Good service. Gluten free choices are marked clearly and they had a delightful chocolate torte for dessert! Highly recommend!

Rachel Hicks

Ordered the Luce to go! and my mom always appreciates the gluten-free and vegan cheese option. Always delicious.

Melanie Epp

Great spot to meet up with friends or go out to dinner with family. I'm always so pleased with all the options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free.

Brent Warner

Rad Italian place reminiscent of the Midwest. Service was great, large portions, and tons and tons of gluten free options (never seen this many before). Excellent. Worth a try if you’re in Rochester.

Erin A

Had a great experience here with celiac disease, dining out with a friend who also has celiac. The server answered our questions confidently, and we were happy to learn that they have a dedicated fryer. We were told that the bone-in wings are gluten free (along with most of the sauces), and the boneless wings do contain gluten. We opted for burgers, and they were delicious! So were the fries!

Isabella Mariani

We used Donatellis Catering for our wedding day, and they were amazing to work with. The tasting was a great experience; they provided one of every dish to try as well a few gluten free options since I am gluten free myself. They also had all their linen, silverware, plate, and cup options laid out to choose from. They were helpful in making decisions to keep our costs as low as possible, while still making sure we got everything we wanted! The food was buffet style at our wedding and we went with the Caesar Salad, Tortellini Carbonara, Mostaccholi, and Tuscan Chicken. It also included garlic bread and roasted vegetables! Everyone raved about the food and said it was one of the few times they’ve actually left a wedding full and satisfied with their meal. We were able to pick up the linens the day before to get them on the tables the next morning, and an employee of Donatelli’s stayed until the end of the night to take everything with them and help clean up. The next day they had all our leftovers boxed up and ready to be picked up at the restaurant! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Carol Anderson

I’ve had much better tasting and textured gluten free and vegan selections elsewhere. I would not choose this place as my top option if I needed either of those as a serious accommodation. Pricing for the quality and the service was basically awful. My table got three drinks (two small hot teas and a small latte) and three cake slices and paid $45. The latte was up-charged $2 because I am lactose intolerant and ordered oat milk for it. I understand an up charge because the milk is typically more expensive than regular, but basically every other cafe for miles well out-competes a $2 extra charge. The most expensive I’ve seen locally before this was $1. In a perfect world allergy and intolerance accommodations would cost no extra, as people like me can’t really help wanting to live like others and have a little cafe latte that won’t hurt us. When asked if I wanted a box I said I would, as I still had a half slice of cake left. No box was ever brought to my table and the waiter never mentioned it again even as we said goodbye to him and left. In fact, almost every interaction with the waiter was tinted with what seemed like haughtiness or disdain on his end. Maybe because we only came and sat for desserts and coffee/tea and therefore were not “high value” customers. Overall this place seems full of itself and really not worth the trouble and expense to have sub-par cakes and a cup of tea. Hoping this is a rare experience.

Jill Turrentine

Another wonderful meal. We love this restaurant. The only negative i could say is that the salad came out like a minute before the meal but otherwise the meal was delicious. I love that they have a gluten free menu. I got to try the gluten free bead at the beginning of the meal which was really tasty. I'm just thrilled when a dining establishment accommodates my dietary restriction and allows me to feel a part of the normal experience. The local cider beer was nice and my significant other enjoyed his Manhatten. We finished with a wonderful creme Brule which was prepared perfectly. The ribs fell off the bone and were incredibly tender. My significant other had the north woods fish fry and said it was good even though the coating was different this time (not as crisp). The staff was friendly. This is one of the best establishments in the mall.

Ngoc “Annie” H

A wonderful first experience for my Sugar and I. We both have a gluten allergy and the fact that they have a separate kitchen for those with Celiac Disease, is just awesome and progressive. The staff, our waitress, and anyone who interacted with us was polite and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS. We ate everything! No leftovers!! 10/10 recommend. We will be coming back!

Shylo Benz

Best breakfast I’ve EVER had. I got the Scromble of The Day. Tomatoes and Chimichurri *chefs kiss* I’m gluten free and the GF English muffins were great.. I got TWO with my breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and he loved it! Super cool spot to check out in downtown Minneapolis.

Lindsey Heiserman

Incredible! In town for a quick overnight trip and found the smokehouse because they are the same family of resultants as Duluth Grill. There was a little bit of a wait on a Friday night. They asked right away about allergies and were so informed. I have celiac and they have a separate kitchen space. I was so impressed. The staff was kind, fun and prompt. And the salads….WOW! We went back the next day!

Evelyn Bakken

Amazing! I can believe today was the first time I heard of this restaurant! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a dairy allergy (whole restaurant is vegan) and gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me! (They do note that they can't guarantee no cross contamination, but they do have a separate fryer!). I was SUPER excited to see they have vegan milk shakes! They are AMAZING! So glad to have another great space I trust for my allergies. The atmosphere was super fun and cozy! I really liked that if I wanted to be antisocial that I can order through a QR code (which was VERY informative about gluten allergies!) You also have the option to order with the staff as well! They were always buzzing around so if you need assistance they are there. The food came out insanely fast and it was pretty busy at the time I was there. They are a tip free restaurant, they price their food so that they can pay their staff livable wages (which they dont advertise as much as I think they should!) Definitely worth the price! Can't express how excited I am about this restaurant from the food to their story AND paying their staff well - I love it! Side note: for anyone scared of vegan food or are worried about trying it - this is the place to do it! (My boyfriend wanted me to add - as someone who doesn't have allergies or have any experience with vegan meats - he loved it and said he could hardly tell the difference)

Kendell St. Brigid

I've always been a fan...until today. I'm stuck with a gluten and dairy free diet so DG has always been a go-to thanks to their menu. It seems they no longer are so keen on being accommodating. Except for a couple of pork dishes there's no options for both without the pig and no substitution for the meats. I had an amazing server who tried to come up with something besides eggs and hash browns that I can make at home for a fraction of the $$$. I was stuck with a bland skillet with two eggs, a mountain of guacamole, and the dryest, hardest fake chorizo I could try to imagine. It was a very expensive, very disappointing, downright bad meal. (But no gluten or dairy.)

McKinsey Hurd

Our server was very friendly, just not super attentive. Sat many times waiting for a drink refill. That being said, as a Gluten Free gal, they have MANY options. The tacos were amazing. My friend got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and wasn’t impressed as it tasted more like curry sauce.

Savannah Tracy

Surprising amount of gluten free options that were celiac safe!

Jennifer Christiansen

Amazing Gluten Free food with great service.

Natasha Lunin

Excellent gluten free, vegan and vegetarian pizzas. While staying in the South Minneapolis for a few months this place quickly became a favored eatery! Gluten free menu is huge and there are huge vegetarian sections. Try!!!!

Jacoby Price

First time coming here. My fiancée has Celiac Disease and we were thankful for their well marked menu for their GF options! The hosts were very kind, quick and efficient. We were seated fairly quickly at 5pm on a Saturday. Our waitress, Brittany S., was so helpful with the menu’s and was quick to show us their mocktail menu when we told her that we didn’t drink. The food was amazing and also came out quickly! We got their GF chocolate cake to-go because we just couldn’t pass it up. Food presentation, Service, the atmosphere and pricing is all 5 stars and worth it. We will be back :)

Brian Kennedy

Our go to "fast food" spot. Gluten free burgers. Sports Bar atmosphere, not our thing, but it's always.

Ella B.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

Patricia Allen

We had a lovely late lunch between flights at the Minneapolis airport. I am Celiac so the menu was so refreshing! Our server, Ken, was very attentive and very efficient. The only downside was the cost! Our lunch was almost $150! (with two drinks each and tip).

Pam Cleary

A personal favorite. Menu is always a crowd pleaser in our group. Love the gluten free options. Service is always top notch, feels like it is balanced between attention and privacy. We will keep coming back for great food and great service. The Christmas ambiance is the bomb. So festive.

The Mystery Man

I am staying in the Duluth, MN area for approximately 4 months. I'm a vegetarian and immediately started looking for any vegan/vegetarian restaurants in the area. I located Juice Pharm, and decided to try them. So, I placed an order online with this business on 5/6/2025 in the evening to be picked up the morning of 5/7/2025 @ 10:30am as a carry out (that is why I didn't rate the Atmosphere). Following are my reasons for the pour ratings: 1) I placed my order online so I wouldn’t have to wait in line to place an order. However, I still had to wait in line to pick up my order for walk-in people to place their order. Why??? I placed my order the day before, fully paid for with a tip and I still had to wait in line for people who were just placing their orders. This seems unfair to me. This business needs a dedicated an area for people who placed their orders online to pick up their order without having to wait inline. 2) The following is a direct quote from their website: "Juice Pharm is a cafe and juice bar in Downtown Duluth dedicated to serving healthy, fresh-made and locally-sourced food and drinks. Our 100% plant-based and gluten free menu focuses on cold-pressed juices, refreshing smoothies, fruit-filled açaí bowls and globally-inspired specialty foods.” My personal health goal is to try to eliminate add sugar from all the foods I eat. I incorrectly assumed this business would also pursue such a goal for the menu items they offer their customers. I ordered the following as a carryout order: I ordered a Acai Bowl specifically their Blue Majik Bowl-Large (24oz) with added Cashew Butter (the Cashew Butter was stuck to the lid of the container my order was placed in) , Extra Granola, and Add-on Blueberries. After I started eating it I could tell it was loaded with add sugar-so I broke my dietary goal-not intentionally. The base of Acai Bowls are made from acai berry puree. This business buys commercially made purees for their Acai Bowls and these contain rather high amounts of added sugar. This business doesn't disclose added sugar amounts for their menu items. I actually contacted this business through their website via email on 5/7/2025 @ 4:36pm with the above concerns and with the following questions: 1) Which of the items in my online order had added sugar and how much? 2) Do all of your Acai Bowls have added sugar, and how much? 3) Does your Granola have added sugar, how much? 3) Do you have any menu item available for online ordering and carryout pickup that have “NO ADDED SUGAR”? If you do, please list them (implying provide me a list). The business never replied to my email. If they would have replied, I probably wouldn't have written this negative review. This type of information would be critical to any people with diabetes. I would like to support this local business if they would identify items on their menu that have no or very small amounts of added sugar. Beware, If you want to limit the consumption of added sugar avoid Juice Pharm's Acai Bowls. I don't know if any other of Juice Pharm's menu items also have high amounts of add sugar.

Thryn Arnav

Literally such a gift! Are you a person with celiacs desperately in search of gochujang and fried Korean food? This is the place you want to be! Seats fill up fast tho so get there early if you can

Brenna Bartell

I am gluten free (allergy), and this was a great place to eat! I got breakfast. The eggs, sausage, toast, hashbrowns, and pancakes were all delicious. And gluten free! Parking and finding the place was a little more difficult since it’s in the skyway and I don’t use the skyway often, but I found it pretty quickly. The server I had was super helpful and very nice. Atmosphere was great as well and the decor is chic. This is a must-try!

Becky Czech

This is a great sports bar atmosphere. But, it's kid friendly. Full bar, great gluten-free options and it's very comfortable. The food is fabulous!!!

Mason S

Great gluten free bun (although a little messy if you don't mind) with flavor and variety in options. Service is great as well 👍
