Top 5 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in U.S. Virgin Islands

I am leaving this review specifically for those of you who are Celiac, since they advertise gluten free pizzas. If you have Celiac or a gluten allergy, be very careful with this place. Even though they say there is a separate oven and separate pans, we watched the chef in an open kitchen take zero precautions to prevent cross-contamination between pizzas. He was not wearing gloves and did not wash his hands in between handling different kinds of dough. He put his bare hands in the cheese and used the same ladle to spread sauce on both regular pizzas and gluten-free pizzas. There is absolutely no way that you can guarantee no cross-contamination when there are no safety precautions and cleanliness standards. My girlfriend was super excited to finally find a pizza place on our vacation that was gluten-free, but we ended up canceling our order after watching this disaster in the kitchen. The chef saw me watching him and he actually aggressively started approaching me and yelling about why I was complaining. The bartender was also extremely rude to us when we canceled the order after this debacle and said that the price of the pizza was going to come out of his tips, which is ridiculous. Also, why do they have a single bartender taking pizza orders at a busy restaurant while also making drinks? This really should be much more streamlined. Again, if you have Celiac or a gluten allergy, I would avoid this place at all costs. I can't speak to the non gluten-free pizzas although my brother and sister-in-law did order one and it looked good. However, the cross-contamination and rude service spoiled everything about this place. The vibe is also extremely loud and like a college party atmosphere with deafening techno pop music. Definitely catering to the cruise ship clientele, so do not go here if you expect to have any sort of laid-back, relaxing Caribbean experience.

This is the best place on St John for someone who has to eat gluten free (celiac safe as well!)!! Wide variety of corn tortilla tacos (all of the taco options are gf), amazing ambience, and takeout is available. The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free items and I found this was the safest place for me to eat so I kept going back. My family (not gluten free) also loved their food so we went multiple times. Thanks to the Lime Inn staff for providing a celiac safe meal!

Gluten free pizza is terrible. Try something else

We were only in St. Croix for a few days, but from what I can tell, this place is an absolute hidden gem. There was only one other table eating in the restaurant while we were there, which was actually great because the dining room is very small. Several people came in for take out while we were there, though. The food here is absolutely amazing, and the portions are quite generous. None of us could have eaten another bite! Everything is gluten free and almost nothing has dairy. I had the chicken, which was absolutely delicious & cooked perfectly. The curried cabbage & the kale salad were also incredible (which is saying a lot because I absolutely despise kale... And then I found myself eating it off my husband's plate because it was so good!). Get the lentil balls. Don't question it. Just get them. If we come back to St. Croix, this will be my first stop for dinner!!

Stopped here for pizza & my wife was pleasantly surprised to see gluten free options. She had the absolute & it was one of the best gluten-free pizzas she’s had.
