Top 22 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Delight in Knoxville

Annette Coleman

Excellent food! Large portions. And, most importantly for me, gluten-free options that are celiac safe and delicious.

Katelyn Leuck

Our service Katelyn was amazing. Knowledgeable about cross contamination for someone with a gluten allergy.

Mark Garland

Nice place. Decent gluten-free options.

So glad I found this place! Their gluten free pizza crust was absolutely delicious. Nice texture and the topping are good quality. The hand tossed crust is also great. This is definitely where to go when you want an authentic, old fashioned pizza place. Service was friendly and attentive and our food came out fast. Absolutely recommend to gluten free or allergen concerned folk and anyone who just wants a good, classic pizza.

We love Bella Roma Pizza! They have the best Gluten Free Cauliflower Crust in Knoxville. I get the GF Margarita and my family gets hand tossed thin crust with sausage and pepperoni. We are from NY and on a constant persuit to find good pizza. Bella Roma is our favorite! Also, the owners Solmon and Yuseff are very friendly, which makes us love this place even more.

I adored this place! It’s a small, cute little restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. My friend and I sat at the bar. The bartender was so friendly, a joy to talk to, and the service he provided was great. My friend has celiac and he went above and beyond to make sure his allergy was accommodated. The food was phenomenal! We shared the bolognese and you couldn’t even tell it was gluten free pasta. The sauce was incredible. The only way I can describe it is if you had a little old Italian grandma that was making food for the whole family on Sunday. Highly recommend giving this place a try

My Girlfriend and I went to the Olive Garden. I wanted to write a little review of the Famous Olive Garden. Olive Garden has been around for years, almost as long as I have know. When I was younger, I never understood the Olive Garden salad but I love the Breadsticks. It took time all these years later, the Breadsticks are still good but the Famous House Salad is absolutely wonderful. I wish that I could go to OG just for the Salad alone. The Homemade Soups are Chicken & Gnocchi, Pasta e Fagioli, Minestrone & Zuppa Toscana. The Dipping Sauces are marinara, homemade alfredo or five cheese marinara. There are Gluten Free options and there is a Kids Menu. Also, Olive Garden offers Catering too. Flipside -> The Lasagna Frites are not that good, I was very disappointed. Their restaurant is clean, plenty of parking, Wheelchair accessible as well, and The Staff are friendly & helpful.

Best gluten-free pizza!!! (cauliflower crust) Gluten-free pizza is always hit or miss, but this place has the best by far. Thank you Pizza Kitchen for amazing pizza!!! 🫶🏼🍕

May I say, listing an extra $1 for "gluten free" on your menu is a little bit in bad taste (pun!). Are you a pizza parlour? Read on for humble advice: Don't give a customer an excuse to chose another restaurant next time. Set the tone. Make every customer believe they are your favorite customer. That single guy who only orders the cheapest thing, might bring his book club on that rainy night when there hasn't been a single customer. Never forget, out of all the rest, they chose you! Cherish your customers. Treat them to a gracious experience, everytime.

This has become a go-to pizza place for us because they have a delicious gluten-free cauliflower crust at an excellent price! The service is top notch as well. Highly recommended!

Gluten free pizza was delicious! We cooked it longer for a crunchier crust. My family loves the monkey brea! (it is not gluten free) also this is our goto dinner for game night, we are yet to be sad or dissapointed

We’ve only gotten food from Snappy a couple of times, but they have excellent customer service and their pizza is amazing! Their gluten free crust is delicious. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Went here for my birthday. Food was absolutely delicious!! "Authentic" Italian food. Can order separate or in family courses just like they did when I was in Naples, Italy. Accommodated my wife's celiac needs like it was nothing, she had plenty of choices. Would highly recomend.

"A Slice of Heaven" I recently enjoyed a meal at a local pizza place, and it was a delightful experience. Here's why I highly recommend it: 1. **Amazing Pizza:** The star of the show, the pizza, was absolutely fantastic. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and abundant. It was everything you'd want in a pizza. 2. **Variety:** The menu offered a wide range of pizza options, from classic Margherita to creative specialty pizzas. There's something for every taste, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. 3. **Fresh Ingredients:** You could taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. It's evident that they prioritize using fresh, high-quality produce. 4. **Cozy Atmosphere:** The restaurant had a warm and inviting ambiance. It's a great place to dine with family and friends or even for a casual date night. 5. **Friendly Staff:** The staff were attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were happy to provide recommendations and accommodate special requests. 6. **Quick Service:** Despite the restaurant being busy, our food arrived promptly. It's an excellent option for a quick and satisfying meal. 7. **Value for Money:** The portion sizes were generous, and considering the quality of the food, the prices were reasonable. You get a lot of bang for your buck. 8. **Takeout Option:** If you're in a hurry or prefer to enjoy your pizza at home, they offer efficient takeout service. In summary, this pizza place offers a slice of heaven for pizza lovers. With outstanding pizza, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service, it's a must-visit for anyone craving a delicious and satisfying pizza meal. Whether you're dining in or taking out, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious! I can’t say enough great things about this place. I had the grouper piccata, and it was mouth watering. I love they offer gluten free pasta, and it is delicious!!

Jennifer R Doty

Great service, wide menu, and even a few gluten free options! The gluten free pizza is very tasty and the pasta sauces are gluten free... If they offered gluten free pasta as an option then I would rate five stars. Carrabba's, Bravo Italian Kitchen, and even Olive Garden offer gluten free pasta. Gondolier should bring that option to their already diverse menu.

Actually, we used Johnny Bruscos to cater our daughters wedding, which was for us a destination wedding in Knoxville Tennessee. The service was exemplary! The food, delicious! Beau, the owner personally delivered everything directly to our venue in record time the food was warm and delicious! Everything he did was above and beyond!! One of our guests was gluten free so Beau was able to help accommodate his dietary needs. We highly recommend them for their catering, as well as for dine in. Our guests gave us rave reviews about the food!!

Yesterday was my birthday so hubby asked me to choose anywhere. I felt like Italian food and we had been here once before and had an amazing meal, so I wanted to go again. The only problem is, I'm now gluten sensitive. Hubby checked the online menu and didn't see any gluten free pasta options, so he called to double check. They confirmed that they don't but they said that I could bring my own gluten free pasta and they would cook it for me into one of their dishes! That was so great! It was perfectly cooked (gluten free pasta cooks differently than standard pasta) and, naturally, combined with their meat and sauce, was just as amazing! Their salad is always super delicious, and the atmosphere can't be beat, with its soft lighting and excellent music! The service is among the best I've had; not over-zealous nor prone to waiting too long between table stops. I was aware of how they waited on the tables around us, not just our table. They are all well trained in hospitality, and the expectations from the owner. The portions are more than ample, and we always have leftovers. If you get a chance, go here! Beats the pants off of chain restaurants any day!

John Hanna

Great pizza and has the gluten free option for a crust as well.

Ordered carryout on Valentine's day to pick up on the way home from work. They were slammed. Staff was very kind and courteous. We normally eat at the one in Clinton, TN and have dishes we usually get and like. We thought they would be the same. Gluten free pizza was perfect. Cesaer salads were good, as were the bread sticks. Chicken carbonara was not anything like what usually get and had spinach. Chicken picatta contained red peppers, have a great dislike for them, and not much other flavor. Most disappointing meal in a long time. Called manager the next day as I knew they would be very busy all night, explained the situation, the response was "There's nothing I can do". Lesson learned, management doesn't care if you can't eat your meal because it doesn't taste good to you! Also, the website wouldn't work so I couldn't check the menu or order online, the manager said at that restaurant they don't do online orders anyway. Edit to add the restaurant never intended to deal with a customer issue on any level. 🤦🏼‍♀️
