Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Havens Across New Jersey

Ariel H

The safest place to eat gluten free in northern NJ

Erica Uszacki

A great option for both gluten-free and gluten-included food! Had a ton of options to accommodate everyone and were served very quickly! On weekends, try to get a reservation since the indoor seating is limited.

Anthony Gerber

Best gluten free sandwich I've ever had!!! They use Two Fields Italian rolls which is the only edible gluten-free bread in my opinion. I was skeptical to try because of how much I disliked other gluten-free sandwiches such as the warm have a Jersey Mike's. I was pleasantly surprised! I'll definitely be going back.

This is our go to place to eat safely! I have never gotten sick from eating here

Mehar Sharma

Gluten free pizza was terrible. Easily the worst gluten free pizza I have had. The crust has a strange taste and aftertaste. Even frozen ones are better. And it was pricey too. Disappointing.

Alana Hoffert

I have celiac disease and this place was great! I chose it because of that, but they had a whole gluten free menu. I haven’t had fried food in a long time, but they have a dedicated fryer and the mozerella sticks are great! Highly recommend.

Molly O'Keefe

Very safe for celiacs & has a gluten free menu! They give out gluten-free bread as well! Very delicious!

Susana Abad

This place is my favorite place ever! Best gluten free options and best Italian food in general. Vicky was very helpful and attentive, would always recommend

Natali Heiss

I love this spot; I’m gluten free and always suspicious of restaurants that say they have good gluten free options. But their French toast was incredible! Coffee was hot and fresh, it was very loud so if you’re noise sensitive I would recommend going at a lighter trafficked time of day or sit outside. The waiter and hostess were fabulous and helpful.

My family and I have been coming here for years and won’t be coming back. We decided to come out for dinner around 8 pm (they close at 9) and the server was evidently busy. We patiently waited for menus and to order drinks, giving him the benefit of the doubt. He eventually took our order for food, with us getting 3 entrees total. My mom ordered eggplant rollatini in red sauce with a side of gluten free penne vodka. Her food came out first and the whole dish was in vodka sauce. We mentioned how the dish was supposed to be and instead of apologizing for the mess up, our server sighed and proceeded to tell us how they close in 15 minutes. He didn’t check on us once to make sure everything came out okay. He gave me the wrong pasta, and I didn’t bother saying anything because I didn’t want to be scolded. 10 minutes into us getting our food, we overheard a coworker asking the server “they’re not done?” “no they’re not” and the coworker who was the CHEF came in the dining room staring at us. It was so uncomfortable, we asked for boxes and the check. If there was an issue with staffing or they didn’t want to seat past a certain time, we would’ve been fine going somewhere else. I’ve never had an experience like this at any restaurant and it’s disappointing because we love their food.

All pizzas and pastas can be made gluten free and there are a ton of options. The pizza was insanely good and I didn’t have any issues here.

Kristen Kohne

Had a great experience here today. The restaurant (new location) is gorgeous - modern and clean and not overcrowded inside. Beautiful. The food was delicious too. I had a gf Caesar salad that was incredible and a risotto special with lobster that was excellent. Nearly every pasta dish could be made with gf pasta and the chicken parm could be made with grilled chicken and gf pasta, which also sounded good (and healthier than traditional breaded and fried chicken anyway). The only negative was the way we were greeted at the reception. The ladies seemed stressed out and had intense discussions with each other about my reservation and the fact that one person ended up not being able to make it. It was very off putting and we did not feel welcomed at all. I considered walking out…but I didn’t want to be charged! After we were seated everything was lovely.

Jacob Massaro

Best gluten-free rolls I've been able to find, and my allergy makes it very hard to find one. Dude makes an amazing diablo spread and fills that sandwhich to the brim, I love it here

Lisa Miller

Love love love our delicious chicken Marsala Gluten Free!!!!! Thank you shout out to Chef Johnny and takeout team! Delicious delicious delicious food!!! ❤️❤️❤️Friendly take out counter service too! Happy New Year! 🥳🎉🌟🎊

This Pizzeria/Restaurant was highly recommended......not so much. They claimed they have a gluten-free menu but only had items without flour. Gluten-free menus should have items using substitute flours, in items as pasta, or bread! Next, I brought my own dairy free cheese. They put regular cheese on the pizza had to remake. The second pie I informed the employee cooking it that the cheese will not get brown. He yanked the pizza out of the oven and proceeded to "school" me in why the bottom was uncooked on the crust,which already had a brown crust. Further, I was questioned about my dietary restrictions as though I was being a problem or lying. Trust me if I could eat gluten and dairy I would be 500 pounds! Thank you for making my dinner horrible! Oh and the thin crust my mom ordered looked like a boxed frozen pizza! And yes I was a chef for 30 years.

Celiacs: beware. this is the 3rd time this place has let me down and I am officially done. This time I paid for food that isn't even safe because they refused to give me a refund. Last time I ordered GF breaded chicken pizza. The chicken didn't look right so I called before I ate it to ensure it was the GF breaded chicken. they assured me it was. I was sick for weeks following that. This time? I walked in to pick up my order. They cooked the pizza in the same oven section as the gluten pizzas, despite me labeling my order as Celiac. Then the guy cut the pizza - he grabbed a cutter that was sitting in a tray of gluten containing pizza, rinsed it off in the back, came back out with it wet, wiped it dry on his dirty apron, and cut the freaking pizza! then put the cutter on a tray of gluten pizza, realized he didn't want to leave a GF cutter on a gluten pizza tray and then moved it to a shelf above where he cuts. I WILL NEVER go there again.

The best!!! Our family's go to for pizza and Italian food here in Edison. Bonus that there's gluten free options! The GF veal Parm is so good!

Alex Hayes

Ok guys - maybe you’ve read the reviews for how good this pasta is, but let me assure you - you simply do not understand how effing good this pasta is. My partner and I came here, I’m gluten free, he is not. The salads we got were perfection (Italian wedge and kale salad FWIW) but the pasta was just, incredible. I think the best gluten free pasta I’ve had. For any fellow gluten free folks - owner confirmed (and showed me) they have a separate machine for their gluten free pasta (obviously it’s home made), they prep gluten free pasta first thing in the morning before gluten pasta molecules are in the air! Bolognese is a go to and what my partner got, I got a spicy shrimp dish. We both think this is one of the best, if not the best, pasta we’ve ever had. Worth 👏 it 👏

Tom Mazza

Great assortment of exquisite Italian fare with plenty of gluten-free options. Not overly priced with huge portions.

Abby Schley

The gluten free options including bread are absolutely delicious! I don't live in the area anymore but my old job has their Christmas lunch here almost every year and I try to make the trip up whenever I can. Service is always top notch!

Sara Sweningsen

Fresh, delicious food. Excellent service. Beautifully updated dining areas plus an outdoor seating option. Food not heavy or highly processed. Dedicated vegan menu and dedicated gluten free menu. What a gem!

It was the Saturday before Easter, a beautiful, sunny spring day, so we decided to take the Corvette to the Tulip Festival in Upper Freehold, NJ. We weren't the only ones with that idea, as an extra 25,000 people seemed to have the same plan! Arriving at the gate, after finding free parking, we were told they had reached capacity. Rats! It looked like a fantastic sight – tulips in every color imaginable stretching as far as you could see, along with food trucks and a charming windmill. I even chatted with two ladies who were close friends with the Dutch owners, flown in to help with the event. Disappointed but undeterred, we hopped back in the Corvette, put the top down, and enjoyed the drive. My wife, Jeanne, discovered a small restaurant in Hightstown, NJ, called 12 Farms Restaurant. It was 20 minutes away and off we went. Public parking was plentiful, and we entered the over 150-year-old building, immediately enveloped by its rich history and the delightful aroma of good food. Our waitress, Quinn (the same name as my granddaughter!), greeted us warmly and described the specials. My wife quickly chose the lobster mac-n-cheese, while I perused the extensive menu. They don't serve alcohol, so we both opted for their delicious peach iced tea. 12 Farms prides itself on sourcing high-quality ingredients, including grass-fed beef, fresh seafood, and local produce from family-run farms like their own farmette, Little Big Acres in Millstone, NJ. Their aim is to offer diverse and creative menus catering to various dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. The menu was indeed impressive, a great mix of gluten-free, vegetarian, and protein dishes. Options like the Jersey Tomato Panini and the Acho Chili Braised shredded chicken sounded wonderful. After much deliberation and another refreshing peach iced tea, I decided on the OG burger: a Wagyu beef burger with thick bacon, local cheddar, and onion jam. While we waited, enjoying the view of Hightstown's bustling main street, a fresh greens salad arrived – a bright and tasty sweet and sour mix with pine nuts, thinly sliced turnips and cucumber, and a flavorful vinaigrette. The edible orange slice was a lovely touch. Soon after, our entrees arrived. The Lobster Mac-n-Cheese was a generous bowl of large macaroni with plenty of lobster chunks and a creamy three-cheese sauce topped with greens. My wife clearly loved it. My OG burger was substantial, topped with cheese, thick bacon, and their house-onion made jam, accompanied by seven small home fries and more greens. Large burgers can often suffer from a soggy bottom bun, but I decided to eat the flavorful Wagyu beef, onion jam, and pickled jalapenos separately, thoroughly enjoying the delicious combination. Completely full, we skipped dessert. It's worth noting that 12 Farms is a cash-only establishment. Overall, I give 12 Farms a 4 out of 5. We definitely plan to return and explore more of their enticing menu.

Out of this world gluten free bagel!

Great place. First time eating here. LOTS of gluten free and vegan options. Service was excellent and food was excellent. Everyone was happy. Will be coming back

Darlene Grimes

I'm new to the area and recently had family over. I am celiac, my son's partner is dairy free, and we had a bunch of hungry people trying to decide what and where we could get take-out. This restaurant was able to handle the hungry crew and our dietary needs. The food was also delicious. We had it delivered and it arrived quickly and nice and hot. The driver was really pleasant. This was overall a great experience and we will be "regulars".

Diana Kraut

My daughter got the rigatoni a la vodka and loved it. I got a gluten free pizza which is where it fell apart. I’m always grateful for a gf option, and I am used to paying an extra price for having a dietary restriction despite it not being a personal choice, but an extra $6 for a soft floppy pizza seems wild. And the soda was flat.

Em Natale

so many vegan and gluten free options, the staff and owner are absolutely amazing, adorable vibe and not too expensive. food is incredible and comes in take out containers! the owner gave us a gift card for a free meal on them when we left. 100000000/10 reccomend.

GiGibee

They have gluten-free options and are very accommodating. Big portions and the service is great. Definitely will be back

VIPER GLEN

Caters to the average hungry person, the health conscious, and the Celiac alike. Workers were very knowledgeable and caring. Caroline was extremely helpful and attentive. It was my first time there, and I drilled them with a ton of questions, all answered to my satisfaction. I got the Gluten Free / Dairy Free 12 inch pizza. It isn't cheap, but I got 2 days out of it, so it's worth it. As for the taste; it was cooked to perfection. If you're a pizza lover, the sauce might disappoint you. Not a good enough reason to not get it though. As a Celiac, I've learned that it's not just all about taste. It's about experience. And going to a place like Tino's, where there's a clean, friendly atmosphere, makes me feel like a normal person who can enjoy dining out. There are other standard, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, and Vegan options. All reasonably priced. It really is a nice place worth checking out, and I will be going back. (: UPDATE: Mon.Apr.14.2025: Just had my second Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free pizza, and it was even better this time! From the time I placed my order to go, it was literally in my hands within 8 minutes! This is gonna be a problem...cuz now I'm addicted!

Pristine Christine

It's a chain that is supposed to replicate Chicago style pizza. On Mondays, they have half off personal pies. It's a great deal. The bartenders were very friendly. Veggie pie was good. They are accommodating if you are vegan gluten-free, etc. My friend got the burger with sweet potato fries and said it was good.

Alaska_NJ_Skate

This place was really really really good! Extremely friendly and welcoming, set up our table for us while we went down the street to the liquor store. Let us sit there after we finished eating for about an hour or so. The music playing was right up our alley! I ordered a Buffalo slice and a cherry pepper slice was asked if I wanted ranch or blue cheese with my pizza, I chose the ranch and it was super good almost looked housemade! I'm giving a 4 star for food because my wife got sick from the gluten free pizza however she has celiac and she usually gets sick from all pizza cooked in shared ovens. I tried the gluten free pizza and it's super good, seasoned perfectly very tasty!

Steven Markowitz

The place itself was fine, nothing bad, but the issue I had is that I ordered something from the gluten-free menu (a steak) and it came out with a breakstick right on top of the steak. I had spoke with the waitress before I ordered and let her know, and when it came out I told the runner again and he just looked and apologized but really didnt fix it. Im lucky that im not overly sensitive, that contact isn't going to really affect me, but for those who have a more severe allergy I would be very cautious, I might even stay away. I dont think they really take it too serious. Especially on a Tuesday when the restaurant wasn't very busy it happened, I could only imagine what it would be like on a busy night.

Nicholas Curcio

We just recently went here and had the GF pizza and calamari and it was probably the best GF pizza we have had. The staff was also very friendly. The dedicated friers was a big plus definitely coming back!

Anna Kousoulis

Loved all of the food. I am gluten free. The gluten free calamari and chicken Parm were delicious! My husband got pasta arrabiata and lived it too. Our server Joe was very attentive, always checking and very friendly. We will be back again soon!

Good gluten-free options. Friendly service.

Sapphirebrooke H Goodwins

I have uncontrollable ice powers like Elsafire from the full fortresses (severe asperger's, it feels like that). I went here with my maternal grandfather for Father's Day and it was a very nice dinner and the food was delicious! I had an ice cream that was gluten and dairy free and a delicious freshly squeezed lemonade as well as some nice lemon water and a goat cheese pizza. The only thing I didn't like was there was no family restroom for him to wait right outside my door and hold it shut so please consider adding a family restroom to accommodate certain people's needs but luckily other people were at the dinner my mother and my maternal aunt were there to do that but please do create a family restroom for those who have special needs because a woman can't go in a men's bathroom with her grandson with ice powers and a man can't go in a women's bathroom with his granddaughter with ice powers. 😞 My ice powers are a special need and they need that specific accommodation. My cousin was adorably sharing her dairy ice cream with me. The food is really good here and I really enjoy it at Red Bank. I highly recommend Pazzo because the food is very tasty and they have a beautiful screened in lanai and I LOVE eating here!! I will be coming back here with my maternal grandfather next time I visit him!! Grandpa enjoyed his food as well. 💜 I loved the ice cream and food here was delicious. You should move to Dunedin, Florida. I think that would be very nice. 💜

Truffle Pig

The best pizza place local to me. When you walk in it smells of as a traditional Italian grandmas kitchen. My boyfriend was craving pizza so I brought him here. He got the meatball pie. The face he made after eating the first bite was him falling in love with me all over again 😂. This place also has amazing gluten free and vegetarian options. I recommend this place to all my friends. Tight indoor dining but they have a cute patio outback that’s much more spacious. I personally always do take out.

alani hernandez

It's byob has a great menu, and they can almost do their whole menu gluten-free. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of their menu.

Alyssa Brophy

We had our rehearsal dinner here and it was incredible! I found La piazza through a Facebook recommendation and it exceeded our expectations. Penne vodka is my favorite pasta and they have one of the best I have ever had! They were very accommodating for our gluten free guest and picky child! Our guests were raving about the food!! I absolutely recommend them!

Frankie Timmers

We had lasagna and lemon asparagus etc. pasta… their gluten free pasta is a healthy kind and it’s best. I even have leftovers. Yum! Jesse took great care of us. We Alyssa live eating at Carrabba’s

James Teller

Great gluten free pizza

Jara Massa

I came to Da Rosario with my family for lunch. It was so good from start to finish. Felice, our server, was awesome! He handled our daughter's gluten and dairy allergy carefully. She had the GF pizza with tomato sauce, and it was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Noel Estrada

Really solid place and one of the best gluten free pies I have had. Great discovery.

L Brown

gluten free pizza was delicious

Sathish Kuthethur

Good pizza, they have gluten free too.

John Doe

Great restaurant with great takeout options. I've probably tried everything on their menu. Everything is delicious and reasonably priced. Their pizza/tomato pie is delicious and their gluten free options are the only ones in the area that my friends find palatable compared to other pizza places. Definitely would recommend.

Kimberly Rivera

A Dining Experience Worth Every Mile… We can’t say enough good things about Maggiano’s in Cherry Hill, and it’s all thanks to the outstanding team led by the incredible server Allysia and manager Carla. We drive over 90 minutes to dine here because the service, attention to detail, and warmth make it feel like a second home. Allysia is a true gem. She goes above and beyond every single visit, ensuring our experience is not only enjoyable but memorable. She takes meticulous care of our son’s severe celiac allergy, which gives us the peace of mind that is so rare to find when dining out. She always engages with our rambunctious 3- and 6-year-olds, remembering us by name and making them feel like the stars of the show. This is more than just a restaurant to us. We’ve celebrated milestones here, like my husband completing 45 rounds of radiation, and even shared a comforting meal after a family wake. Allysia and Carla went out of their way to make those moments extra special, showing us what hospitality truly means. The food is impeccable. We especially loved the Parmesan-crusted cod and are heartbroken it’s no longer on the menu—please bring it back, Maggiano’s! The ambience is warm and inviting, perfectly complementing the phenomenal service. This location is unmatched when it comes to making guests feel valued. Allysia, with her genuine care and attention, is a rare find, and Carla’s leadership shines through in every aspect of the restaurant. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you Maggiano’s!

Nicole Nicole

The waitress was such a sweetheart, she was helpful and was working the front and back I believe on her own. The food was so good! Fries, mozzarella sticks, two pizzas one gluten free. I would definitely come here again.

Theresa

We were looking for a place that served gluten free pizza on the boardwalk. So happy we found 3brothers. Pizza was delicious! Staff is awesome! We will definitely be back! Thanks for providing the gluten free option.

Bhawna Gupta

Everything was great except , gluten free chicken Parmesan. Will go back again to try other dishes.
