The entire menu with the exception of one or two breakfast items, is GF!

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.

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

my goto for gf! lots of gluten free menu items and bakery items!

Sarah Cichon

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

Bob

Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

Ándrea Zarate

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!

Molly Vielhauer

absolutely love their gluten free pastas!

Molly Vielhauer

almost the entire menu can be modified to gluten free!

Lots of vegan and gluten free options

Michelle Nasvik

Chimborazo continues to be one of my favorite go to restaurants in the cities! Their food is delicious, with unique flavors and just phenomenal Ecuadorian cuisine. I dream about the mahi mahi encocado and ceviche 🤤 I especially appreciate that they have so many options for someone who is gluten free and lots of good pescatarian options too! Their service is always fast and they’re always incredibly kind! Highly recommend.

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

Melissa Grant

Love love love this place! Amazingly good! The garlic cheese bread is the best ever! The pizza’s are soooo good! They did a wonderful job on the gluten free crust! The atmosphere is adorable and we had the best server ever!

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.

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)

DM B

I’m celiac and finding safe places to eat when I travel is hard. This place was amazing. At first I was skeptical but the young man that was my waiter was knowledgeable and the items are marked on the menu. Food was outstanding! His service was great. He was very kind and attentive.

Ivy Bolthouse

Love Pizza Lucé! I have had positive experiences with both pickup and delivery from the Seward location. I appreciate their vegan (and gluten free) options and the unique toppings and specialties. I have also done big orders for events and those were just as delicious and quick as ordering one or two pizzas at home. I have to mention that the seasonal butternut squash pizza is amazing!! I think about it all year and wish it was a more permanent menu item. Pizza Lucé is a Minneapolis staple and it’s clear why- their quality of food and quick, helpful service make it a great pizza experience.

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.

Julie Badger (Beenken)

I have Celiac disease and need to be sure the food is safe to eat so I don't get sick. Waitress was pushy and wouldn't answer my questions or was annoyed by my requests or clarifications, on top of being short with everyone else at the table. They replaced their gluten free flour for pizza crust with "washed wheat" and still call it gluten free, and they no longer have a dedicated oven for gluten free pizzas or dedicated kitchen space for gluten free items. I would not recommend eating here if you have food allergies because they will not accommodate you. I ate the food I was brought and I am sick. Overall my experience was pretty bad and I won't be going again.

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.

Scott Miller

Good food & lots of GF options available. My wife is celiac. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy at all. Short wait on a Saturday night.

Jess Delicious Living

I loved that they accommodate gluten free and dairy free but I definitely feel like if I’m paying the same price as someone with the full dining experience they could have made better substitutions. My least favorite were the gluten free crackers( at least homemade) that I had instead of their delicious looking bread, some mediocre winter squash, which was bland and would have tasted better with the breadcrumbs and the crispy shiitake mushroom, which was unseasoned and the pesto was not a good sauce for it. I think again, it was a second thought because it needed to be dairy free. Overall, the food was good. I really enjoyed the chickpea blue prawn fritter and the artic char. I think because they didn’t really have to do any substitutions with either. The salad was awesome, bright and full of citrus flavor. And the parsnips and cauliflower were seasoned well.

claire

server was knowledgeable about gluten free options, shared most can be modified to be gluten free and they will cook it in a separate skillet instead of on the griddle :) great patio experience!

Emilie Blankenship

Great place to visit, study, and socialize! Absolutely love the welcoming atmosphere and vibes! Super cozy spot to spend a cold day. The spinach pie is GREAT! and there are gluten free options available.

Breya Hoeppner

The gluten free options for this restaurant was the best part of the experience my boyfriend and I had. Although the food was decent, the staff were extremely loud, at some points rude to my boyfriend and I when ordering and asking questions, and also just not being respectful of guests in the restaurant.

Michelle Nasvik

Let me start by saying that the desserts, specifically the panqueque is amazing!! Highly recommend. As a gluten free human, it’s hard to find deserts that wow, and this one is incredible. Besides the deserts and cocktails though, I haven’t been all that impressed by the food. I’ve dined here twice and tried two different pastas and thought they were just ok for the price. The mushroom rigatoni had great flavor but the mushrooms were overcooked making them hard to chew, and the pasta itself was soaked in so much oil that it sat in the bottom of the dish making it feel overly heavy. From my first experience, the malfaldine was, again, just ok. That said, I will definitely will be back here for the cocktails, dessert, and atmosphere.

Megan Relson

Great breakfast (and lunch) sandwhiches and pastries including gluten free and vegan options. High quality crafted espresso and coffee drinks. Highly recommend for both food and drink options.

Rachel D

First time here as we were visiting the area. Sat in the bar area. Food was good! Service was ok. Got chips and salsa for an appetizer and was a ton of chips, but not much salsa. Asked for more salsa to finish the chips and got charged for a 2nd chips/salsa appetizer!! Only other complaint was that it was cold and we both had to wear our winter coats the whole time. Loved that they had gluten free options and a gluten free menu to look at.

Alex Van

My wife can’t eat gluten and loves the crust they got for her! I just do takeout and can whole heartedly say as much as I love Little Caesar’s Detroit Style, this one is a little better.

Reggie Lamptey

So 49ER Day party at Crave Rooftop was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I was pretty surprised at how extensive their menu was. Oftentimes, when restaurants have a lot of items and different types and styles, it isn't always good. But when I tell you my bison burger and wings were very tasty. There was lots of flavor and made just the way I wanted. I don't like my wings swimming in sauce, so I asked for light sauce on my wings, and they listened, and it was just how I like. Their menu even has a gluten sensitive menu as well as a plant based menu. I was impressed with their options. If you find yourself in downtown Minneapolis, you should definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

Kathy Shepherd

Annie was very pleasant and makes a great cocktail. My daughter has Celiac Disease and she was very knowledgeable about gluten free options for her to have. The pasta was fantastic. Thank you for a great lunch!

veda

Such a cute place! Went to have breakfast with a friend and we both loved our food, Great place if you’re gluten intolerant. Very friendly service as well!

Sarah Clark

This place is great. Love all the dog art. Food is great with unique options. Menu also is super veg friendly and gluten free bread is available! They don't even mind fake-etarians like me who don't eat beef but want real bacon with their Beyond burger 😆 Jen and Lisa were awesome!! We'll be back!!

Vegan East is renowned for its delectable Carrot Cake, which is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their cupcakes come in a variety of mouth-watering flavors, including Cookie Dough and Red Velvet. Don't miss their Gluten Free Cosmic Brownies – they're a perfect treat for any brownie lover. What's more, all their treats are 100% vegan, meaning they are free from any animal products. This makes Vegan East a fantastic destination for those who follow a plant-based diet or anyone looking to enjoy delicious, cruelty-free goodies. If you're in Minneapolis, make sure to stop by Vegan East and treat yourself – your taste buds will thank you!

Ze'ev O'Rourke

Was actually able to keep it gluten free by just splitting the generous charcuterie board and sausage sampler with a couple of friends (obv I just didn't eat the crackers) and checking out their hard cider menue - lots of selections. Great spot even if you're celiac

Jennifer Kroll

Celiacs can’t eat here. I was so excited to see that they advertise so many gluten free options. Paid $3.50 fee to get cash bc they don’t take card and then when I got up to the counter to order I was told they couldn’t accommodate me because of cross contamination. Please don’t say things are gf if you can’t prepare them gf. It’s really demoralizing to people with food allergies to show up and be refused service.

S Hamill

Bittersweet dinner at ie as it is closing! 😭 Tremendous food, great gluten free options, and super service. Hope the owner changes his mind... We will miss ie!

Taylor Moone

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!

Kena Schlenker

Menu is marked with gluten free or gluten free modification. Dedicated fryer. Knowledgeable staff

Lexi Damm

Amazing spot, I love the gluten free option as well! Great product, I could eat this daily!

Daniel Gerland

Very tasty food and classic diner atmosphere. The waiter was friendly. Always good to see gluten free bread on the menu! I hope to return soon to try more of their offerings.

Stephanie May

Stanley’s has a pretty consistent menu, and while they offer some good vegetarian options, they have been careless with the gluten-friendly side of it. Was poisoned twice, first time they gave me a non-GF bun instead of a GF one like I specified, second time the bartender gave me a random beer instead of cider. Had to forcibly make myself puke in the bathroom from said beer, and the bartender still made me pay for his mistake. A friend of mine who is also celiac was poisoned with a GF bun on a separate occasion. I understand there are risks to eating out with allergies, etc., but this place is way too risky and has made too many mistakes to go back. Last time I went in for a salad they changed the menu and I noticed there are things listed on their menu as “GF” which are in fact not gluten-friendly at all, even with bun/bread substitutes. If you have allergies or are celiac, be very mindful of what you are getting and double check everything if you’re willing to take the risk.

Liz Palo

Absolutely amazing food, James Beard awarded and a designated celiac menu (note the asterisked shared fryer items) 10/10 would recommend!

Alisa Forpahl

Great food. Generous sizes. I'm celiac and didn't have any issues. Missed having pita but the chicken was so so good ;)

Carlyn Johnson

We had a great experience for brunch! Aram was delightful, friendly, and helpful! The only confusion was with the gluten free options and how it was presented on the menu. Being only that the waffles were able to be made GF, Aram was quite helpful in helping us understand the options available on the menu! It would be incredible if GF pancakes were an option! Otherwise, it was a great experience and would definitely come back :)

Catherine Anderson

Old school hippy coffee shop with amazing pastries; small & cozy with shared tables, crowded on weekends. Mini pizzas, danishes, lasagnas, savory scones, Cuban stew…If they run out of what you wanted by the time you order, try something different because that will become your favorite thing. Good place to meet up with your vegan or gluten free friends. The long line moves quickly. No off street parking but has a bike rack in front. Their bread pudding and cinnamon rolls are meant to be shared with a friend or taken on a long hike so they can be enjoyed sitting under a shady oak contemplating your life’s purpose.

Megan Evans

I went here with family for a birthday celebration dinner a few days ago. Place has a fun vibe to it, good service, and great food. Everyone at my table enjoyed their meals. My husband and I had the juicy loopy, and both of us really liked it. Our table also enjoyed the calamari and black bean dip for starters. They even gave my husband a free little ice cream for his birthday, which he really enjoyed. I have some dietary restrictions, but the restaurant was easily able to accommodate with a gluten-free bun (that was actually pretty good for being gluten-free) and made sure the seasoning on my food did not have garlic in it. The one area where this restaurant could do even better in the area of dietary restrictions would be to have nutrition info online (including ingredients for each dish or at minimum a list of which common alergens are in each meal), so customers with restrictions can better see which dishes they can or can't eat. I was also a little disappointed that the chef was not able to come up with another fry seasoning with other spices, since I was told I had to order them naked to avoid garlic. A good chef should be able to easily know some other spice combos that don't use garlic or even just salted would be fine. (Example- olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley are quite good on fries and are common spices to have around.) We also had a vegetarian at our table and she was very pleased with the large vegetarian selection of menu options here. She ordered the vegetarian "chicken" and rice bowl, and she really liked it. Overall, this place was very good, and I would come here again. My only minor complaint about the atmosphere was it was super dark inside to the point my dad had to use a flashlight to see the menu. I'd like a bit better lighting in the evening hours. Besides making it hard to read the menu, the darkness inside made it feel a bit gloomy if seated away from a window. Otherwise, this place had fun vibes.

Laura Boyce

Wonderful as usual. Gluten-free options!

Ryan Esparza

Great atmosphere here, I could stay and work for sure but today it's coffee and a breakfast sandwich to go. Gluten-free options in baked goodies and sandwiches.
