I cannot say enough wonderful things about Luna! Chef Tony and our server Reid were so knowledgeable about my celiac and gluten free options. Gluten free homemade pasta!!! Gluten free pizza crust..... on a separate shelf of the oven. (Huge win!) we shared the San Daniele Pizza, a house salad, and the pappardelle alla panna on gluten free linguine. We even took a pizza home, because it was so delicious. One of the things that caught me by surprise was NO UPCHARGE for gluten free pasta, pizza, or bread.... unheard of!!! You will not regret coming here. Grazie, Luna family! ♡

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful and delicious Valentine's day at Thea. My wife has a gluten intolerance which the kitchen went above and beyond to accommodate. AnnMarie and her staff were attentive and kind. Thank you Thea

Cheryl Miller

We love JoJo's and are so thankful for the gluten free pizza. It's the only pizza place we can go with our kids. This location is really cool looking on the inside and has some cool arcade games too.

Excellent food and service, good size portions, wonderful ambiance. Home made ice cream; baklava, vegan and gluten free options. Very accommodating for our children as well. 10/10 would visit again!

Kay Halteman

We were very happy with our meals at the Metro Diner. Food was delicious and we were thankful there were some nice gluten free options. Friendly staff.

We love Carabaas and we LOVE Amanda. We literally ask for her table every time we come and are sad when she’s not here. They always accommodate my gluten allergy and I’m grateful for that. The food is amazing and the service makes it special.

Jayne Zook

Several gluten-free options!! Fantastic place!

I drove by one evening on the way to my daughter's senior picture session. It smelled SO GOOD! My husband and I went tonight for dinner, and the food tasted as good as it smelled the night I drove by. They conveniently have labeled their menu with various dietary needs like gluten free, vegetarian, and more. Having the menu accessible online is also a huge plus when you are a family of various food allergies.

Bree Bosso

Kind server, however I asked for a gluten free meal and the veggie burger I ordered was actually not gluten free. The server was obviously unaware of this. If a restaurant offers gluten free options they should educate the servers on what is safe and what isn't, as well as making it clear on the menu.

Emily

Never disappointing! Coffee is so good, atmosphere is cozy and unique. Food is good with plenty of yummy gluten free options.

We order delivery through the app fairly often, and our order always arrives in a timely manner. My only complaint is that it's 50/50 if I get my sandwich without mayo as ordered. I usually just wipe it off and move on when that happens since it's a preference. More importantly, my gluten free hoagie hasn't ever made me ill from this location, which means this location cares about getting that right, and avoiding cross contamination.

Don Guhl

Great gluten free selection. Server seemed knowledgeable about cross contamination. Food was great! Laid back atmosphere. Cool artwork on the walls. Would recommend. Looking forward to going back.

Andy Smith

Good gluten-free pizza Stromboli was good also

Elwanda Morgan

We tried the vegetarian biryani and paneer tikka masala and both dishes were delicious with generous portions. The service was attentive and they have a wide range of options for vegans, gluten-free individuals, and Jains. They can adjust the spiciness to your preference; I ordered mild and it had a hint of pepper but was not overly spicy. I'm not sure if there is a no pepper option available. Overall, it is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to.

Maggie Cohen

I really like their gluten free pasta and alfredo sauce!

Lily Wicks-Forman

Usually this place is great. I'm gluten-free and I usually can't find any restaurants that substitute things on the menu to make them gluten free, this place does. I'm really disappointed today because I got a sandwich and it's usually great. I paid $15 for the meal and the sandwich and when I went to bite into it there was absolutely nothing in it. So I paid $15 for nothing. I expected better.... since I've had it before I knew how it's supposed to taste. Someone didn't make it right.

This place is usually quite busy for lunch and dinner, but it is absolutely worth the wait! They have gluten-free options for sandwiches. You just have to eat a wrap instead. They also have amazing gluten-free cheesecake!!

Aaron Steenburgh

Absolutely loved the pizza! My girlfriend can only eat gluten free pizza, which they have on the menu in a 7-9” personal option. The food was great, as well as the service. Highly recommend!

Dave Cozad

We did a carry out. Food was excellent. We had pad se ew. Noodles were tasty. Spice level was on par. Didn't know when ordering, but they do offer gluten free soy sauce for sauteeing. Definitely a place we will go to again.

Rebecca Bookwalter

Great local ice cream shop. Super impressed with their allergy friendly menu that clearly shows if the ice cream contains gluten, nuts, and/or eggs. They also have several dairy free and vegan options that are coconut based. I’ve tried the regular ice and the dairy free sorbets and they are all great! Will definitely be returning!

Mark Glass

Excellent gluten-reduced beer. Not many choices in my home state of North Carolina so this was a treat. There are several beers to try, each very different. I will look forward to returning

Brian O'Neill

I have Celiac, so I must eat gluten free. I ordered just a plain steak and potato and informed the waitress. She said she would let the cook know. He brought the steak out himself, and said it was prepared accordingly. No issues.

Lily Wicks-Forman

The food is great! They have gluten-free, vegan, & vegetarian options labeled in their menu! I haven't eaten in, only ordered to-go. They will bring your food curbside. Their prices are reasonable. The only thing that could be improved is the wait time. I waited over 30 min after the time I was told my order would be finished.

Amy Shughart

Always good food. Decent prices. Good servers. Gluten sensitive options like a roll for sandwiches and sweet potato fries.

Steve D

Delicious burritos, made to order right in front of you. 8 different varieties of gourmet tortillas daily specials and house salsas. I recommend the Cowboy Crunch on a Tomato Basil wrap. If you like Chipotle, you will love Neato for it's superior burritos at a much more reasonable price. Gluten free options, vegetarian options, many delicious options

erin B

You need fresh food? gluten free? Dairy free? Diabetic? They got you!!! The waitress sat us right away, helped us through the menu and helped me specifically with all my dietary needs!!! Our food came out quickly and everyone was so nice! I'm absolutely coming here again!!!!

Dawn Goodrich

I am in love with this place. I am gluten free and I can eat here with no worries

Issac Avery

Very gluten free friendly and great food.

Macy Warnick

As someone with celiac disease, I try a lot of GF pizzas and it was decent, but not great. It was slightly dry and chewy in comparison to other but again, not bad (remember we are asking for a gluten free pizza here) lacked a little bit of flavor but the quality of ingredients were okay and I’m sure if it would have been a regular pizza I would have nothing to complain about.

Stephanie West

Very bland food. Appreciate that they offer an option for a gluten-free tortilla for burritos. The overall lack of flavor in the ingredients makes this a no-go for us. A bottle of Cholula would've made a huge difference (we asked, they don't provide hot sauce options).

Used to love coming here, not so much anymore. After tonight’s visit, I’ve come to realize that the woman who runs the register and the owner are very ignorant and not for the customer at all. The woman who runs the register and picks up the phone hardly understands English. She also does not know what vegan/dairy free means, and lacks knowledge of the menu items. As someone with dietary restrictions, it’s very important for me to dine somewhere that knows or can at least figure out the ingredients that are in the items that they are selling. They advertise vegan, gluten free, etc. items on their menu, but when asked what’s in their house made roll, they couldn’t provide an answer for me. The owner started getting rude towards me and was very unapologetic, unwilling to help me when I was trying to ask what was in the bread that they serve with the “vegan sub”. I’ve never gotten the sub before, I only ever came here for the pizza so I had no idea what their rolls consisted of. It’s probably going to be a long while before I come back here again.

Carmela “Ele” French

Hosted a baby shower here and it was amazing! Jenn was beyond helpful and brought so much experience and insight to ensure we had a great event. The food was marvelous and we BYOBd a mimosa bar, which Jenn kept stocked with our juice inventory. The mom to be was ecstatic, the guests were happy, and we had an amazing time! They even made sure to accommodate our gluten free guests. Thank you again!

Alyson Weaver

Was surprised by the plentiful gluten free options for a breakfast with our kids - great service!!! The server was so nice and helpful.

ron davis

Great fresh pizza with gluten free options. If your not into pizza there are plenty of other options. Great for a quick bite to eat.

Les Tice (Ldiggs)

Great tasting coffee tea and other drinks. The frosted coffee and ice latte were awesome. Nice place for small lunches and other baked goods. The owner was so pleasant and helpful. She even catered to our gluten and dairy free needs.

Mary Cooney

Great little place for a delicious breakfast. I'll have to go back for lunch next. Gluten-free bread available.

Derek Taylor

karen potok

Our server Courtney was very pleasant and prompt. I eat gluten free and would love to have more food options as well as smaller portions.

Laura Brewer

Amazing Authentic Mediterranean food!! Wonderful welcoming staff!! They were very accommodating to my dietary need of having to be gluten-free. Five stars isn't enough for the food that I experienced! You will not be disappointed in their food.

Rachel G

Hands down the BEST gluten free pizza I’ve had. Love the food and the owners are super sweet!

Miriah Miller

I got the mango colada with banana and it was absolutely delicious! I love that you can get it with or without the banana. They have gluten free wraps, but not gluten free bread which was honestly better in my opinion because I almost never see gluten free wrap options. The chicken popper fajita wrap was super tasty, my only qualm was that because it's hot the cream cheese and ranch got a little messy but it was absolutely worth it. I was with three other people and we were all very pleased with our smoothies and food. It's a very cute little place and the staff is young but very friendly. Great stop, just wish I lived closer! Also check the menu on their website, there are some sides and stuff that I didn't see on the menu board but I could have just missed them. They have a lot of options to choose from!

Alicia Kaestner

Delicious vegetarian and gluten free entrees. We picked up our food because we couldn’t dine in but the inside of the restaurant is very cute and inviting!

Katherine Putnam

Always a great selection, including gluten and dairy free options. Love going back to campus and seeing their progress towards sustainability.

Erika Hanes

They need more of a selection for people who are gluten free and/or vegetarian.

Linda Aul

Worked with me to find any gluten free options they had, cheerful employees, clean... and of course, amazingly delicious!

Rachel Hagan

Staff was very friendly! I ordered a gluten free pizza and they did an excellent job trying to avoid cross contamination. They even provided me with my own individually wrapped pizza cutter! The pizza was very good and they mentioned having gluten free sub options. I am excited to return and try them out!

gene griffy

Small Mexican restaurant in the Simpson Ferry strip mall, but great food and prices. Being gluten free, the options were wonderful and marked well!! The Cameron Enchiladas were good as were the chalupas.
