Top 8 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Downtown Los Angeles

This is my new favorite pizza place! My mother visited last year and would sing its praises every time we ate pizza (we aren’t from LA) so we had to come try it. It did not disappoint. Their pizza is insanely good, with stretchy cheese, and good quality crust. They also can make gluten free pizzas that taste just like the original. The best part is the staff. Our server Anaise is so nice, she chatted with us, took our picture, and even gave us complementary wings to try just cuss! This is not a restaurant you find often. It’s yummy, reasonably priced, and the company makes you feel at home. Can’t say enough nice things about Braazos! Try it for yourself!

Finally went here with a friend, both of us have visited family in Italy throughout our lives (for me: Salerno region) and needed to catch up and vent over good food. This pasta is so good. Everything there felt like being g back in Italy and not the tourist traps. They even had stelline/pastina and bone marrow! We ended up getting bone marrow, tiramisu, and the Angus ragù and wild boar ragù pastas. Everything was incredible and I've had dreams about the tiramisu since. They also use really good flour here it seems because I'm someone who can't really digest most wheat, not gluten but all wheat in the US just makes me feel sick almost like an allergy. The bread and pasta here was the rare wheat outside of Italy that I didn't feel sick, I didn't feel bloated, I wasn't in pain for days. Just stelline-eyed thinking about when I could visit again and try the next pasta. Friend is the same way and said the same thing. I only wish they had little pasta flight samplers 😅 For allergies: they're very good. I have a shellfish allergy and cross contamination wasn't a concern and there were plenty of non-shellfish options that were fantastic.

Absolutely hands down the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had. Parking is horrendous but I will risk it again for this, the perfect pizza.

Nested within Grand Central Market, a great find with gluten free past options. The Mac and cheese is what dreams are made of and such a good and cheesy Mac and cheese!! Definitely recommend. Their lemonade was great as well.

I gave up on pizza a long time ago. But we stubbles on this place and tossed out the request of a gluten free and dairy free pizza. Surprisingly, the guy working there was like…hold on one sec. Then emerged from the back with gluten free crust. My faith in humanity is restored.
