Top 50 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Explore in New Mexico

Natalie @OTGFM

GREAT gluten free Italian menu - I’ve been coming here for years, the owner is gluten intolerant and most of the menu can be made GF (they have a whole menu) and incredible desserts couldn’t recommend more - find more on @ontheglutenfreemenu on IG & TIKTOK 🧡

On- line order of three different, buffalo chicken, it was just the right amount of spice, the deluxe too, and the gluten free crust was delicious. All pizzas were devoured in minutes, as everyone throughly enjoyed. I highly recommend them.

Sam Stein

Literally the BEST gluten free pizza I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of them). I ate a few bites and decided there was no way it was gluten free.. went back to the counter to ask them and they reassured me it was! Even my non gluten free husband couldn’t tell the difference. 🙌🏻

Holly Gallegos

By far my favorite pizza place in the city. It's so rare for an ABQ restaurant to have a menu that's got more than one gluten free option (or a gluten free option that is something other than salad), but Farina has gluten free pizza crusts and gluten free pastas. They have a huge selection! Not only that, but the gluten free pizza crust is soft, pillowy, and delicious--very different from the thin, soggy crust that lots of other places offer. It sometimes takes a little extra time for Farina to prepare gluten free dishes, but it's 100% worth the wait. The servers are always so knowledgeable and friendly. I've been coming here and bringing my friends here for years. Definitely recommend!

Gather there for family birthdays, because everyone loves the menu variety and delicious food. If you haven't been there yet, you are missing out. Vegan and Gluten options.

Reg Roark

Staff is always super friendly. The food is always super great and for 2 years I've been living gluten-free and they honestly have the best gluten-free pizza in town!

Wow! I have had pizza from countless pizza joints in the past 22 years over my travels. Vegas, Nashville, South Beach Miami, Orlando and now Santa Fe, NM. The options in Santa Fe for pizza are plentiful and I have had 5 of them, although I won’t name them. The one I will name is Backroad Pizza! A little off the beaten path of downtown, it is well worth the small drive from anywhere in Santa Fe. It has been located @ 1807 2nd St #1, Santa Fe, NM for the entirety of its existence (parking in the rear). From the outside it just looked like a normal building that could have been anything, but step inside and enjoy the quirkiness of the layout and color scheme. The smell hits immediately! For such a small establishment, it was loaded with employees churning out pizzas in the middle of the afternoon and that told me something. I was greeted at the counter with a smile and a chalk board covered in menu items. From fresh salads to garlic knots and then all of the pizza options. There was a nice selection of locally brewed beer on tap. Margherita pizza, you got it. Green chile pizza, sold. Pizza of the moment with unique ingredients, of course. Pizzas made especially for the kids, gotta have it! Customize to your hearts desire, why not? I had the opportunity to speak with the owner, Piper Kapin, who could not have been more friendly. She informed me of her custom corn meal crusted thin crust pizza dough (her personal recipe), how all ingredients were fresh daily and sauce and salad dressings were all made in house. I was sold. She told me a little history and explained her passion for the industry, and showed me around. The property was a little bigger than I thought. There is an extra seating area on the second floor with a small balcony and what a large excellent patio for outdoor seating! (Which is dog friendly!)She (Piper) is very humble and did not even mention that she had been FEATURED on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network….. not once, but twice! I noticed it as I was looking over her website. By this point my mouth was watering watching everyone else’s pizzas go out. I got seated with a number on a small stand and a local cold beer off tap. There was a nice buzz from the locals enjoying their meals and chatting it up. I had ordered a small half new mexican with green chile and half pesto, fresh mozzarella, pepperoni. It only took about 10 minutes despite how busy it was. First thing I noticed - THE CRISPY CORNMEAL CRUSTED DOUGH. Extra thin, great texture, super crispy, foldable without toppings falling off, it looked and smelled delicious. Upon taking my first bite of the New Mexican pizza, I understood the hype. (Where is Dave Portnoy when you need him?) In my mind this just became my go-to pizza hub. So fresh, not bready at all and the toppings and crust shined and meshed perfectly. In the 10-20 minutes I had been seated, every chair in the shop filled up; so much so that I offered my table to an older couple so they didn’t have to stand and wait…and people continued to roll in. I gathered what I had left and boxed it up to go and thanked everyone on the way out. All in all the flavor and delivery is spot on, the staff is all smiles, the atmosphere is fun and it hit on all the high notes. I definitely recommend Backroad Pizza and will continue to provide my patronage! Oh, did I mention there is a gluten free dough option? Annnnd….This place has been voted #1 favorite pizza spot every year since 2012 except for 1 maybe 2 years. Just won 2024! You just need to go see for yourself!

Authentic dining in Taos. The ambiance alone is worth going. Great menu including vegetarian and gluten free and surprisingly good wine list at reasonable prices. A locally owned Italian restaurant complete with antipasto plate. Even if you don’t want Italian you should go. Good portions and good prices. Not fast food and hopefully Marco will tell you a joke or two. No regrets.

Andy Rivero

Superb pizza and several gluten free (GF) options available. Homemade tiramisu was delicious. Definitely get extra cheese (I agree with pizza reviews for NM that several places skimp a bit). Did not try any wine. Free parking available.

Chrissy B

Great pizza and pasta, great service, scrumptious salmon salad, and even gluten free options.

Brian Finnerty

This place was a nice surprise, nice menu, great patio seating. The food tasted delicious! They even had some good options for gluten free. We weren't sure driving into the parking lot, but we gave it a shot, and glad we did!

Tim Simoneaux

Great place! Food was delicious and came out promptly. The staff was polite and the atmosphere was great. It's a dog friendly establishment, and they were kind enough to give our dog a bowl of water. They have allergy oriented food and even celiac safe beer, which is pretty cool.

Padric Mccelvey

What a bummer. Messed my wife’s gluten free order up, the online system wouldn’t let us order to save 10% and they wouldn’t honor it in the store (I mean $5 is $5 especially when you’re spending 50$ for one large & one medium pizza right? Even after they made us wait for the rest of our food to get cold since they messed the order up (not us since we were forced to order over the phone and I specified gluten free with allergy) Overall I love this pizza but the gal on shift was less than helpful.

Brandy Chavez

Great pizza! Had a group gathering for a small business. The service from the minute we walked in was unremarkable. The pizza was delicious, even the gluten free pizza.

Daisie Couch

Food was amazing, ordered the smoked charcuterie board and split the chicken marsala and lemon artichoke fussiloni. They were able to make it gluten free for only $1 extra. Service was great. Definitely make a reservation though which was easy.

Chris Rambicure

I wish they were opened later! The food is great but getting an awesome gluten free late night is almost impossible!!!

cindy jones

Ordered gluten free pizza with sausage and pepperoni. When it was bought to us the pepperoni looked like black burnt hockey pucks. The crust was also burnt the edges especially. Our waitress was also the manager . I would have been ashamed to serve a pizza looking like that. She said that's the way the oven works. Also the air vents were so full of dirt.

Jenna Davis

The food was so good!! The service was excellent! We sat in the back room and it was nice and pleasant. They have delicious gluten free options for pizza which is fabulous!

Kashka Calvin

The gluten free pizza hits when you have accommodate other diets!

Elizabeth James

Lovely gluten free meals. Great service.

Becky Jensen

Nive atmosphere and the gluten-free crust is great with all the same topping choices.

DJ H

Delicious food! Great gluten free options and server was very knowledgeable about GF. She also communicated the request to the kitchen. I will definitely have to try the GF pasta next time, the red chile pork was too enticing and was not disappointed! Highly recommend!

Sara LaMontine

Probably the best gluten free pizza I have ever had! Everyone else enjoyed their food too! Prices are super reasonable, and a wine flight with 5 options for $11!

Ashley Madero

100/10 recommend!! Seriously probably my favorite pizza place in New Mexico!!! We always stop by when we’re in the area. Their gluten free crust has to be my absolute favorite and I’ve tried many gluten free crusts! They add the perfect amount of toppings and cheese! Not to mention their green chili has the perfect amount of heat!

Dani Boise

**Gluten Free pasta available** We had a great experience for our first time trying M'tucci's. Iggy was our waitress and I wanted to specifically call out Iggy for being awesome and attentive! I mentioned that I eat gluten free and Iggy made sure at every chance to help and let me know what dishes were (or were not) gluten free. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were on point too. The pork Bolognese was SO.DANG.GOOD! My husband got a pizza that he said was great. The house white was the perfect compliment to my meal. And it isn't on any of the menus (that we could find) but they do have beer as well. Thanks again to Iggy for your attentiveness and making it clear you remembered my dietary restriction throughout our meal, and the rest of the staff who were all very friendly & helpful.

Laura F

Good pizza. They have plenty of gluten free options here which is very nice!

Julia Langeway

best pistachio cheesecake everrr. Very gluten friendly / gluten free

Debra DeWitt

Great food! I have Celiac Disease and require gluten free food. Absolutely great options for gluten free individuals like myself. The food is delicious and service is great. Highly recommend!

Amanda Carlton

This place is a 10 stars out of 5 stars. Excellent salad, gluten free pizza, and A+ service. We got our food in 5 minutes flat. I’m so impressed with the quality!

L L

Good service. The young man was honest about what was available for those of us with food allergies. In accordance with my dietary needs I was able to order a gluten free pizza with an olive oil base. It was delicious. The gf crust was very good too. Would recommend it. Since I’m not celiac I didn’t ask if they have a dedicated work space or oven.

EVAWN VELASQUEZ

Brandon made our dining experience excellent. The menu offered many gluten-free options.

Marty Mills

Great service and food! Even have gluten free pasta!

Bertha Cantu

Until it got full, this restaurant ran 60's and 70's popular Italian music including Nat King Cole singing O Sole Mio, then I couldn't hear it due to noise. Gluten-free menu and most excellent service from Aidyn made it a good experience, even though I was alone.

Sheera Lum

This place makes my week every time I go. It is such a peaceful place to spend my lunch hour, and the person working the register manages to calm my soul no matter what kind of day I am having. The food is so wholesome and intentionally made with good-for-you ingredients. My go-to favorite dish as of late is the gluten-free chicken pesto crepe.

Herman J

Really good food and very good service. I really enjoy the gluten-free options they have.

Janet E Stauffer

Gluten-free should be better the salad was good

cerease aragon

I enjoyed my pizza a lot I ordered the Jeffe Pepe, brick oven style is my fav. I have to get gluten free after finding out I have a sensitivity and the crust was fantastic. 🍕=🫶

Jodi Talonen

The food is amazing ❤️huge portions! Baked manicotti was wonderful, the calzone was wonderful, the gluten free pizza was very awesome, and my grandson said it was the best pizza he's ever had❤️Thank you! Employees were very friendly. Quick service.

Arina Alekhina

Rude staff. They need to take some customer service courses or something. We waited for more than an hour our food even though there was only 3 tables in entire place. I asked for gluten free pasta and I was not warned that there is an additional charge of $5

brandy lloyd

They have the best gluten-free pizza!!! Every time I come work Fratelli's is a must have.

Isela R

Gluten -Free pepperoni pizza with their own crispy crust! It would be a repeat of I were a local. I can always appreciate a place that makes their own crust instead of using the standard cardboard one the food service businesses sell them.

Bob Christian

If you are looking for an amazing meal and you have some kiddos like mine with both gluten and dairy allergies, this place rocks 🎸. The lady taking our order and the chef in the kitchen were so careful and attentive to our order so that everyone had a delicious meal and no one got sick. I can personally vouch for the delicious Philly Cheesesteak and the feast of the fam had different pizzas. They were all super happy with their meals. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!!!

Shannon Stigler

Food waa delicious! Our service was attentive yet not intrusive. Was pleasantly surprised to have gluten free options! Wished i lived locally so we could return each week!

Chris Nyman Weller

I love this place and really like to support local small biz. The staff are fabulous, the food is tasty, and the variety of wines is out of this world. But I have to tell you guys that gluten-free crust needs improvement. Please go to Amore (@ Green Jeans) and order a mushroom & sausage with green chili on a gluten-free crust, and tell me it’s not one of the best pizzas you’ve ever had?! Then work on your gluten-free crust recipe and see if you can get anywhere close to theirs…

Julia

My dad ordered gluten-free pizza Mystic with pepperoni - the best gluten-free pizza he's ever had. The pizza was thin crust. You can order any pizza in 8 and 10 inch sizes. He didn't have any problems after eating it. We highly recommend it.

James Stormes

Very nice pizza place with a gluten free pizza option.

Lindsey Parker

Absolutely LOVED our dinner at M'tucci's! My husband and I were on a trip that brought us through ABQ for our wedding anniversary. My husband is Celiac, and staff took it very seriously and communicated with us extensively about risks and steps they were taking to mitigate them. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were great. Would absolutely go back on our next visit!

This was by far the worst dinning experience thus far during our trip to Taos. 3 hour wait and bad tasting food. Heard about Taos Outback Pizza, from a skier on the lifts, but definitely not worth the time or money. When placing our order at 5:55, we were told it would take up to an hour for our food to be prepared. I added an appetizer to the order, hoping that would arrive during the hour wait. I asked 2 times about the bread around 6:30 (thinking this was the half way point for our estimated wait time) however, the bread was not served until 7:30. The bread was okay, but had a very hard crust. I might rate it 4 out of 10. While waiting for our food, 3 tables paid their drink tickets and left with out receiving their food. Once our room was cleared out and we were the only ones left, we asked 3 staff members to turn the volume up on the TV but we never did get the remote or have the TVs volume increased from mute. At 8:55 our final pizza was served (each pizza was served about 10 minutes apart). One person in our group said the pizza was so bad she sent it back and refused to pay for it. I did ordered a build your own with 2 meats and only receive one meat on my pizza. The men in our group did eat part of their pizza but had it put in a Togo box and agreed it was not as good a Pizza Hut or other chain pizza places, ultimately comparing it to hospital pizza . We all made sandwiches when we returned to the hotel. If you have 3 plus hours to wait, and don't mind spending $30 plus per pizza with half decent quality and taste, there are a few pluses to dinning here, our waitress Holly was kind and apologized several times for our experience. They also served a 10 inch gluten free crust crust which was a request from one person in our group. Others than these 2 single factors nothing good about this place. The manager was not seen and no explanation for the wait time other than there is only 1 oven...poor set up for a pizza restaurant.

Gluten free menu!

Alex Haulman

Their pizza is the business! I went with a classic pepperoni, and my wife had the Rustica on their gluten-free vegan crust (rice flour based). They also have a cauliflower crust that does have egg. It's probably the best gluten-free crust I've tried. We couldn't believe how fast we got our pizzas, and they were piping hot straight from the wood-fired oven.
