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.
Casual bar vibe in downtown with a solid drink selection and a small menu focused on quality, ensuring there's something for everyone.

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!
Expect a tantalizing selection of baked goods that exceeds expectations, with rave reviews for their cinnamon rolls and unbeatable flavor.

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

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! 💕
This spot offers a vibrant atmosphere with a dedicated team that personalizes your experience, making it perfect for special occasions and families.

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.
With a funky vibe and creative cocktails, this local gem offers a fun atmosphere and quick service that keeps everyone coming back for more.

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)
A local favorite for big portions and delivery, offering a diverse menu with thoughtful options that keep customers coming back for more.

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!!!!

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.

Everything was delicious and service was fantastic! My partner has severe celiac and our server went above and beyond to make sure she was safe. The food and drink selection were excellent and the price tag for two was reflected the quality. My only complaint was the noise- it was difficult to have a conversation even on a Tuesday night. I’ll be making a reservation for the patio next time!

What a unique date night spot! We had never experienced fondue before, so it helped that our server Courtney was so friendly and knowledgeable. Since I eat gluten-free and dairy-free, I thought I'd have to forgo half of the meal, but The Melting Pot came through with vegan cheese, GF dippers, and vegan chocolate. My husband loved the vegan cheese even more than his real cheese dip, which is saying something! It's rare to find a restaurant that goes above and beyond to meet your dietary needs.
The only reason for the four star is because the environment was really loud and overstimulating. We were seated next to the kitchen, so that contributed to some of it, but the couple booths have tabletops that are so small that you can barely fit all of the dippers and dishes and beyond. The food was great, but the atmosphere was a bit chaotic. If you want to go for the experience and food, it's amazing, but if you want to have an in-depth chat or cozy evening, this might not be the fit.
Fast, careful service ensures a unique experience for those with allergies, making it a top choice for a quick bite on the go.

Being able to grab a gluten-free sandwich so quickly and for reasonable prices is so wonderful!
The slicer and counter were wiped down, gloves changed, a separate tray with fresh paper, fresh knife and mayo out of a bottle instead of the tub.
I greatly appreciate the care and respect of my allergies!
Many places are not nearly as careful.
On top of ensuring no cross contamination, my sandwich was ready with just as much speed as the others.
So happy that you can customize the lunch items! Also gluten free bread available. Perfect for people with food allergies! (Dairy free, gluten free, IBS)
With a focus on local and organic ingredients, this spot serves up unforgettable dishes that leave you craving more.

Chili with gluten free cornbread is heavenly. Being from the south, it’s hard to find good cornbread. Reminded me of my granny’s.
Also, best gluten free brownie I have had in my life. I was full ages ago, but scarfed everything down. I will be back!
A cozy spot with a vibrant atmosphere, popular for its creative drinks and packed during brunch, but serene early in the morning.

My wife & I love Rise. Coming here is a treat for us. If we both get bagels & coffees it’s about $20/person, so it definitely gets expensive quick, but we like it a lot.
We usually get the Artisan, which is delicious- eggs, bacon, (Gouda?) cheese, sweet mustard of some kind, and arugula. The gluten free bun was kinda mid. It was kind of dry and just broke apart. I feel like they used to have different ones or a gluten free bagel or something, but it was okay. Glad they offer a gf option.
My wife got an iced miel, which was good, but they mixed the honey in with the cold drink, which causes it to settle at the bottom like the picture shows. She was kinda bummed about that. An easy work around for that is mixing the honey with the hot espresso before putting it in the iced cup. 😊 then it’s blended much better. My hot latte with oatmilk was pretty good.
Our friend that we brought to breakfast with loved her strawberry matcha and her “classic” bagel sandwich.
Atmosphere is dope when it’s not busy- early morning or before close is usually pretty empty, but brunch and early PM can be super busy. Especially weekends.
Zakia never disappoints! Food is delicious, service is excellent, and they are accommodating for gluten free/vegetarian dietary restrictions. Just fantastic all around!
A mixed bag of love and frustration, this spot boasts amazing bread but can leave you hanging with unclear holiday hours.

I love and hate this place. I love the bread, especially the gluten free bread. I live 30 mini away so it’s no small thing to make a trip here. Which I did today - New Years Eve. Tried to call yesterday but they’re closed Monday. Looked all over their website to make sure they’re open today. Nothing. Only “open Tuesday through Sunday”. I called. No voicemail saying they’re closed on NY Eve. So here I am sitting outside the shop having made the trek to find out they’re closed.

Great box lunches! We ordered 40 box lunches for delivery and it worked perfectly. The desserts were outstanding, the salad was cut/prepped for easy public eating, the halved and wrapped sandwiches were delicious. The gluten free options were just as good as the regular sandwiches. The delivery team called just as I’d requested. Everything was delivered on time. I highly recommend C. McGee's Deli.

I am gluten free and was dying for a sandwich before work across the street. I was very happy to see all sandwiches can be made GF.
I recommend getting the hot sandwiches so the bread holds together better and get mayo-Udis can be dry
