Best Deep Dish Gluten Free Pizza we have had Period

Grace Whelan

I went to the Italian feast dining event and had the best time! Every course was delicious and everyone was very kind. My friend had the gluten free option and she loved hers as much as I did. If you go to the feast, I wouldn’t plan on going anywhere after because you’ll have plenty of leftovers!

Jack Phillips

I truly enjoyed the many visits. The gluten free options and delicious flavors of the pasta and sauces is impressive. The vegetable lasagna is a hit with some in my group. I love the fire roasted pepper Alfredo. They offer gluten free bread.

Mary Caldwell

They offer gluten free pasta!

Joseph Ivester

The past several times I’ve been here the service has been perfect, and it’s the best gluten free pizza in the city!

Andrea James

We were in gluten-free heaven at Pelato!! Ordered tons of food and stuffed ourselves silly. So delicious!!

C Blanda

Great food, good prices, and they have a Large Gluten Free Menu Options

Trevor Knight

Best gluten-free pizza in Nashville. This spot is always buzzing - the vibe is welcoming and fun. Solid wine list and the pizzas are (obviously) the focal point. Lots of delicious options for whatever flavor profile you’re going for. Don’t sleep on the chicken parm either!

Nash

Food was delicious, they have vegetarian and gluten free options. Strozzapreti gluten free pasta was safe for gluten allergies.

We ate lunch at The Black Olive today and had such a wonderful experience. Chef Alfredo made some delicious food and we enjoyed every bite! The Gluten Free cheese cauliflower crust appetizer was so delicious and then we tried 3 different salads (house, Caesar and berry bliss), all tasted scrumptious! The lemon piccata chicken dish served over zucchini noodles was wonderful and I definitely would order it again! For dessert, we had tiramisu and a gluten free carrot cake and they both were so amazing!!! Both of these desserts are made in house and I would highly recommend both, especially the carrot cake! George, our server, did an incredible job! if you are looking for good food, go to The Black Olive in downtown Johnson City! You will be glad you went! We loved the food so good, my friends and I are planning to host our high school reunion there in November!

where do I start? 😍 the service is chefs kiss 👌- I’ve always had amazing servers who try to make our experience special. ✨I could write a love song about the wedge salad. I get it every time. ✨I dream about the thunderbird pizza. (also, all the pizzas can come gluten free! big win) It’s slightly spicy and sweet. ✨I wish I could swim in the espresso martini.. I think it's the best one in Memphis. they have a revolving drink menu and I've never tried one I didn't like. my only complaint is it's a little loud in the center of the room so it's hard to hear if you're sitting at a large table.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Marlow’s Barbecue is an absolute gem! Not only is it rich in history—Elvis himself used to eat and hang out here when he was a sheriff—but the food and service are top-notch. Did I mention that they’ll come pick you up in a limo for free? It’s complementary, but don’t forget to tip the amazing Driver ,who is also an awesome person. Three generations of owners have kept this place alive, and you can feel the passion in every bite. Our server was Kristy. She was fairly new there and an absolute prize. The current owner Michael is on-site and incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to celiac and food allergies, which is a rare and much-appreciated find. I have celiac so finding somewhere safe to eat everywhere I go is always a goal. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and there’s Elvis memorabilia everywhere. This place is like a museum and an incredible restaurant and the food is absolutely phenomenal. For me, this place checks all the boxes. I can’t recommend it enough!

The Chipa sándwich is the best I wver had, 100% GF. They also offer other GF options

Star U

FANTASTIC pizza and wings! I am a complete cocktail snob and thoroughly enjoyed both cocktails. Fourth time in, and many, many more to go. Hugely recommend if gluten free, baked wings and gluten free pizza are amazing in their own respect and compared to nongluten free

Susan Bailey

My gluten free pizza was delicious! Our waiter was friendly and answered our questions.

Jason Thomas

Warning for Celiac, they no longer have gluten-free fries, they a now coated with wheat flour and seasoning. Very disappointing for the Celiacs on our trip. The honesty is appreciated, the effort Portobello's gives to address dietary concerns is above average. However, one of the reasons the Celiacs in my group looked forward to Portobello's was one of the few places that offered GF Fries.

Joshua Willis

Great food, great prices. They even have a gluten-free menu with multiple gluten free pasta options. Our server was excellent.

Lorraine Hewin

THE Bartenders are attentive, the food is made for my gluten issues.delicious! HAPPY Hour is festive,and you can take home an entree for 10.99!

Jen G

Great customer service. The food was absolutely delicious!! They have a gluten free pasta available and it was great. Can't wait to visit again!

Cooper Cowan

This place is the real deal! My gf and I have eaten here twice in one day. Everything on the menu is delicious and the service is fantastic. Huge portions too. They are also very celiac friendly and I always feel safe when I eat here. Favorite restaurant in Knoxville!

Deborah Blanchard

I love Amerigo. last week and my visit there, I had a great waiter. My friend and I got there early enough to do the early bird special and I think I'll do that again. All that great food and a glass of wine for a very reasonable price. And I can have gluten-free there and not get sick. Hurrah! I just wish they would find some good gluten-free bread because I miss it so. I know it's been years since they had it, but it was so good! And a treat celiac don't get very often when they go out.

Bruce Gibson

A dual birthday celebration led is too the Acropolis Grill. The food was delicious, Lucy our server was wonderful, and we had the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy beautiful weather. I had the Gyro Dinner with a Greek salad. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked, the pita bread was good, and the rice was well prepared. One of our party was provided a vegetarian menu, and they also provided a gluten free menu. We'll definitely be going back here!

Chris H

Great food and my wife can have it, even though she has a gluten allergy. Was not aware of the spraying situation on American flour. Learned a lot, and had a great meal!

Rachel

We loved the buffet and salad bar. Gluten free pizza was delicious! This is a casual local dive for a comforting meal!

Kristina Presbitero

Demos’ catered my wedding and everything was so delicious. We got so many compliments and there was no food leftover by the end of the night except a few pans of rolls. They arrived on time and set everything up buffet style like we wanted. They also worked with us for friends with food allergies and gluten intolerance, keeping everything separated.

Samantha Posey

I always have the best time here! Me and my boyfriend are obsessed with the pasta bravo! And being gluten free they have sooooo many options! Basically any pasta can be turned gluten free which is such a plus!

DestinTart

Quinn was attentive and knowledgeable, making my gluten-free dining experience pleasurable.

Owls Owlz

What a fun place to go and their food is delicious on top of that.a great selection of gluten free stuff for anybody that has them food allergies.

I absolutely loved all the gluten-free options. The owners were lovely and very friendly. We will definitely make it a point to eat here anytime we travel through in the future.

Melody Dixon

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. You can order gluten-free bread, pasta, and pizzas. Our server was knowledgeable and accommodated allergies well.

Patti S

Gluten free friends, this place has lots of options. While I'm not celiac, I've never had issues. There's a cute outdoor covered patio and the bar is comfy and has good service. Happy hour on Monday and Tuesday is a great deal!

Cynthia Furst

Isaias was my waiter he was very kind and helped find answers to all my questions also very polite and patient. This was the best Olive Garden experience ever (because of the food quality and our kind waiter) and I may just be back! The atmosphere was welcoming and the food quality was truly amazing for an Olive Garden. Lots of gluten free options (they are flexible) which is good sense I am medically gluten free. Did I mention the food was exquisite?

We haven't been to Olive Garden in a while and decided to head over for an early dinner. It was enjoyable and delicious. Great service and many classic Italian Entrées, family-style meals, fan favorites, appetizers, amazing alfredo dishes, soups, and endless salad & breadsticks. Olive Garden has gone out of their way to present you with some incredible menu selections such as - Tour of Italy, Shrimp or Ravioli Carbonara, Lasagna, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Stuffed Chicken Marsala, Manicotti, Five cheese Ziti al forno, Herb Grilled Salmon, and more. They have Family Bundles and Pans to feed large families and groups. One of my favorites is the Zuppa Toscana Soup, made with spicy Italian sausage and creamy potato broth. It's gluten-free. If you haven't been to Olive Garden in a while. Plan to.

Great food and people. Tried the gluten free pizza and it’s one of the best I’ve every tried

Apparently the focus is on profit over quality. One of my favorite items was the liver pate’ which was served in a jar with a side of pickled veggies and toast. Now it’s the equivalent of one chicken liver spread on 4 pieces of bread. If you are not into eating mostly cheap gluten carbs ie pizza, pasta, bread choose a better restaurant. So sad to loose another restaurant to budget cuts & unhealthy options. Italian doesn’t have to be only empty carbs. However,Alex was awesome!

This used to be my go to place outside of literally going back to Italy, everyone used to be so nice and sweet. Disgusting gluten free pasta. Was crumbling away, had a terrible flavor with no sauce, and completely ruins the dish. This was recommended to me FROM THE RESTAURANT to get because I’ve never enjoyed gnocchi from anywhere but have always loved their gorgonzola sauce, and have always been able to change the pasta to one of their normal homemade ones with no issue. This time however they said they could only change it if I clicked the gluten free option. Well I followed their recommendation and it was disgusting. I’m just upset I followed their direction, ever since their “rebranding” I can’t get a different pasta? AND I paid $25 for something that’s completely inedible. They can’t possibly see the pictures of this disgusting pasta and be proud of what they made. Just wish they were nice like everyone used to be, and that I could still trust this would be amazing every time I got it, because even my last dish from them since their rebranding wasn’t as good as it used to be.

Waiter was very knowledgeable in what was gluten free. They take precautions and change gloves. Also use a dedicated area in the oven. Cauliflower crust was really good. I would recommend.

Amy McLellan

I attended a celebration here. We we in the large room on the right. The room was full of people. The service was excellent, especially considering it was a large party. There were chessy bread knots on the table, which were delicious. I had eggplant parmesean, and it was served with spaghetti. The food was excellent! The marinara was the best! The portions are large, and I was given a box to take home my leftovers. Some others around me had gluten free spaghetti, eggplant parmesean, and the 5 meat pasta. Everyone loved their meal. It was a wonderful evening full of celebration and fantastic food.

Although the food was yummy and the portion sizes were big, they added cheese to my pizza when I asked for no cheese. After waiting an additional 15 minutes for them to fix this, the waiter came over and was very rude. You may be the only gluten free pizza in town but I'll make frozen from now on.

Boone Riddle

We've visited twice now and had flawless experiences both times. Atmosphere, staff, and food are all incredible. You run a delicious well-oiled machine and we see you, Alleia. Shout out to Alex, who is SO ingredient-knowledgeable, for helping my dairy/gluten-free partner order with confidence. That means the world. We'll be back on the patio soon, no doubt!

April Lynn

I’ve gone in for to go orders and had dinner there. The service is always amazing and the food is so good. I have Celiac so must eat GF and can say their GF pasta is my fave.
