Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across Tucson

Super friendly staff and really awesome gluten free food options. Came in around 9am today on 06/23/25 and got two breakfast sandwich’s and the chicken tender appetizer. First time I’ve eaten out since I developed a severe gluten allergy over a year ago. That breakfast sandwich and those chicken tenders are a must try! :) loved the BBQ sauce.

We have visited Rocco's every year, typically multiple times, that we have visited AZ and thought the pizza was very good. This year was disappointing. My wife's gluten free had a less than satisfactory taste, my regular crust pepperoni/bacon was ok my not up to prior years' experiences. I doubt we will return in the future.

NOT GLUTEN-FREE FRIENDLY. DON’T EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE. They charged an extra $7 for a gluten free crust and cross contaminated my food anyway. I’ve been super sick since I ate there. Avoid this place if you have celiac disease.

Wonderful gluten free bakery and diner with so many offerings. Chicken and waffles, fried fish and chips, onion rings just to mention a few of my favorites!!

1000/10! If I lived in Tucson, Renee’s would be seeing me ALOT. Lots of Gluten Free options and super yummy! If you’re in Tucson and need a romantic dinner spot this is the one, the vibe was literally perfect!

One of the best gluten free crusts I've ever tasted

We have been coming to Scordato's for years. We love their Italian food, and discovered this year they have excellent martinis too! Emily and Hannah make such good drinks, and they are reasonably priced. They are fun to chat with when we sit at the bar, along with Rose, who entertains us while she makes sure all the glassware is sparkling clean. We love their chicken parm it is the best we found in Tucson! They also have a great meatball dish, and have gluten-free pasta, which we really appreciate. Portions are BIG! Their salads are good, their appetizers are good, and it is a nice atmosphere in the restaurant with many different seating areas. We highly recommend Scordato's!!

Wow. I was so excited to try Vero Amore. I was astounded by how much our server hates gluten free and was completely unwilling to even discuss options. I asked about sauces for the pasta and she said, “I don’t know what you are allergic to, the description on the menu tells you what is in it” I wound up with gf penne with crushed tomato sauce and baked chicken. I was told I couldn’t have any cheese as it all had gluten. She was aggressively unwilling to help to the point I had to ask for her to get someone else to help me. I didn’t choose to have celiac disease and I know it can be hard for restaurants. I try to ask reasonable questions to stay safe and have never encountered this level of unwillingness to even try to accommodate. I thought going to a local restaurant with gluten free options on the menu would be fun and it turned out to be embarrassing and uncomfortable for our entire party in a way that I have never experienced. I gave one stars because I didn’t get sick. It was flavorless food and the worst service I have ever experienced. Don’t go here. Actually, the bar tender was really nice and the drinks were great. The GM was also really nice when we talked with him before our meal.

We were a party of eight for Easter brunch, we ordered the tomato mozzarella drizzled in balsamic vinegar. The tomato was thin and appeared to have been overproduced from Saturday or even Friday a fresh basil leaf would have enlivened the presentation. We also ordered fried mozzarella. The breading was fresh and nicely fried, there was no flavor transfer indicating good fryer discipline. The gluten free mushrooms and cheese pizza enjoyed by my companions was well presented but not distinctive. The Tomato sauce used for the chicken parm and as a basis for the other tomato pasta dishes was flavorful. I noticed all of the pasta dishes were made with linguini. Unfortunately, the pasta appears to have been cooked long past al dente in bulk long ahead of service. NOT cooked to order. I’m not even sure the pasta was rinsed and chilled in ice water because the texture was so starchy because it may not have been cooked in enough water. It may not have been reheated in water but rather brought up to heat in some kind of green congealed creamy sauce with little distinct flavor of pesto no visible arugula or basil leaf entwined in a vibrant pasta pesto. The sunflower seeds were interesting but my northern Italian culinary training pesto is Pinole. When the dish was presented it appeared to have been molded in a bowl and turned onto plate guaranteed to hold its shape. The Service was friendly customer focused and very responsive. Outdoors under the veranda was perfect. Overall we enjoyed each others company

My mother in law, sister in law and I ate together here for dinner. We loved the service, the food, and the atmosphere. Everything was delicious and she was very respectful of my mom in laws gluten allergy. Thank you for a great evening and a wonderful meal! We will definately return.

David Brownell

Nice selection of toppings you can load on top your pie, wife likes gluten free option.

Chef Christina (Familytravels)

Very great experience. The staff was amazing Phoebe you made my experience that much more for myself and my family. Thank u for your kindness and making us feel as if we were home. The cook-GM you rocked are Pizza. The Godfather Gluten free was to die for and just a regular cheese Gluten free just as good, oh yeah extra marinara sauce topped it off. Thank u again

Robin Stone

We love going to Sauce. They have gluten free pasta. If you like a little kick, try the spicy sausage pasta. If you prefer no heat, the cheesy chicken broccoli pasta is the bomb.

Teresa Ceci

This place sucks! This is the worst 50 dollars I ever spent and will not go back. Flavorless food, just awful. And the gluten free pizza tastes like crap. Costco gluten free pizza is 100x better. Do not eat here .

Katelynn K

The a waitress was amazing but that’s about it after we placed our order we almost left .. my husband had bariatric surgery they wouldn’t let him order off the kids menu, I am gluten free and had a hard time finding options so I ended up with just a side of chicken .. my husband got chicken fingers that didn’t come until we were done eating they did comp for that so I will be thankful and they gave my son an ice cream sorry just overall won’t go back proof Is right across the way and way better

This place is the best dang Chinese food I’ve ever had, not only that. They can make gluten free on most their plates. And it taste just as good. Seriously, I could eat this every single night. Me and the hubby love it! We drive across town just to eat there. Lady who owns the place is super sweet also.

Steve Jain

Excellent Mexican cuisine...not just the regular dishes, tortilla stuffed chicken and shrimp poblano elegante enchiladas, plus more Guacamole made table side. One of the best micheladas I've had. Almost everything can be gluten free (except burritos) with corn tortillas. Service is friendly. Outdoor seating when it's seasonable.

Jordan Walker

My husband and I came in for a late dinner, I got the sweet potato street fries and they were delicious! Lots of gluten free and dairy free options for us. Our server, Danny, was so patient with all of our questions and very kind.

Noreen Murphy

This was our first visit to Cafe Desta and it was amazing! The food was delicious and the restaurant is lovely. We will definitely be returning. Great place for people who are vegan and/or gluten free!

Chris Spidle

Great meal- I had the red enchilada special and a mesquite latte. Make sure to hit the salsa bar. Service was fast and friendly. Tons of gluten free options.

Lavon Womack

We had four different meals and a dessert and all were fantastic and almost everything on the menu was gluten free. My wife cant have gluten so it was a great surprise that she could order almost anything on the menu instead of just a couple of things.

Leigh Bowie

Love this idea of eating a burger...with protein only and gluten-free options...with a superfood side salad! Sodas are Free Trade....no Pepsi or Coca-Cola corporate products. Food is absolutely delicious! Outdoor seating and full bar are available.

Cobie Jones

Great food & vibe! Lots of gluten free options and super yummy!!

Rosana Cumberland

If you have a friend who is vegan or vegetarian, but you're not, definitely take them here. Excellent food. I tried a little bit of several dishes. I was impressed with all except the pickles, but I am not a pickle person anyway. I highly recommend the Peruvian Beef dish, the gluten free Mac and cheese, the broccoli side, and the falafel wrap.

Hilda O'Dell

Gluten-free pizza (Barro's pizza) and the gluten-free italian sandwich are delicious. Customer service needs improvement.

Jacque Revis

Never had this kind of flavor.. wine soaked onions and wonderful Angus burger. I got a gluten free bun and it was so amazing. Scratch based kitchen made everything amazing. Gotta try!

Aubrey

Their veggie burger is very good and I’m obsessed with their farm salad. However, their gf bun is not very good. i just had to remove the bun entirely and wrap in the lettuce. Its nice they have the option though, so ant least why made an effort to accommodate gluten sensitivity. Also my most recent order was to-go and I paid $6 for a side of fries and i assumed that would be enough for two people, but it was an individual serving? Maybe they put the wrong size fry in our order? Overall good service, but there is room for improvement

Marcos Almonte Perez

Gluten free Options! Amazing Cuban Food. Wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service. Ask for Anna.

R AB

I have been frequenting this restaurant for years. The food is so good & capuchino is delightful. The employees are super always making sure you have everything & the employees who clear the table are on top it removing dirty dishes & refilling water. They have a delicious freshly baked bakery. I tried their gluten, dairy free cinnamon cake which was an absolute 10. Their gift shop is really great with unique & funny gifts.

Ella Weiss

I LOVE this place...they have the best burgers and fries!! The wheat free buns are fantastic...Im celiac and can't have any wheat/oats...I've never had cross contamination problems at Graze. I also can't eat any dairy and about 30 other foods...they are good about making sure my burger has no cheese and no Graze sauce.

Erin

I have traveled several countries and eaten many pizza's, but Barro's has the best! I don't know what they do to make it so delicious, but whenever we are in Tucson visiting family, we always look forward to eating there. Perfect balance of flavors. Never too hot. Just 🤌🏻 perfection. I am always pleasantly surprised by the price! Keep it up! They do have gluten free dough! Check out the menu online for more info!

Robert Stevenson

Love the gluten-free options.

Jennifer Shawgo

Love this place! First the food is phenomenal and the staff are always so welcoming and helpful. But have you had their cakes??? OMG they are amazing!!! I have ordered cupcakes on multiple occasions and my guests are always impressed by how delicious they are and always say “I can’t believe these are vegan and gluten free!”. My daughter graduated UofA this week so I ordered a cake for her party. WOW! It was gorgeous and so yummy! Everyone must try this place vegan or not you will love the food!

Laura Boyle

Fresh, homemade curries with lots of veggies. Great options for gluten free and vegan. Wonderful service!!!

Clint Nelson

We go almost every weekend. Gotta love the big biscuits that are delicious. Also some Gluten free options for several menu items.

Grace Carlisle

Absolutely amazing. My sibling took me here and every bite was like heaven. There was a line, and the associates up front were efficient. I chose from the gluten free options of a soup with crispy pork belly and a side of rice. They bring it to you steaming, and every bite is better than the next. The peanuts complimented the dish beautifully, and I tried the tofu as well (the best tofu I’ve ever had). I also got a lemon honey drink, and it was so delicious. They come around to see how everything is, which is a nice touch. I will add this restaurant to my repertoire, I love them!

R AB

I have mixed feelings. When we arrived the service was great & the waitress took an interest in our allergies (gluten, dairy). She told us about cross contamination & was so great. Two of us were served our sandwiches (which were very good) but our friend did not receive her salad. We ordered a cutlery board & it came 1/2 way through our meal but the hummus was covered in cheese. I had to send it back We finished our meal & our plates were cleared . A waitress (Shane) came with just a plate of gluten free bread. I explained that I sent hummus cutlery board back because it had cheese & decided to just cancel. However, I was charged for the hummus cutlery board even though it was never served. When I told her, she seemed upset, grabbed the receipt & said she would have it removed. Crazy experience. The guy who refilled our drink & cleared out table was super excellent.

Devin Tsuffis

When my girlfriend asked to make a note of her gluten allergy, the women at the drive through mockingly repeated "cAn YoU mAkE a nOtE" and then when we got to the window she was very condescending. Food allergies are serious and should not be mocked. Very rude staff, will not be revisting

Mike Strittmatter

So, a few weeks ago, I had put up a scathing review. I can honestly say they have gone above and beyond to fix the situation and won me back as a customer. My girlfriend is celiac (severe gluten sensitivity) and loves BJs because there are many choices just for her and loves the strawberry lemonade. Last night, we ordered via Door Dash for date night, and everything came hot and delicious. Cooked to perfection and 100% accuracy on the order. Thank you for taking such good care of us and expect us as regulars for a long time.

Hilda O'Dell

The food is delicious. I appreciate the gluten-free substitutions. When we place our order, we request fries to start with since they are bottomless. Nine times out of 10, we don't get them before our meal comes out, even though we are told we will. We don't have that issue at other locations outside of Tucson. The customer service is a hit-or-miss, depending on the server.

Crystal Kidd

Service was great. Burger patties are thin. Seating was short but overall we'd eat there again but get the doubles. Gluten free experience was awesome, thank you!!

Christine Melvin

Natalie Cornelius

These pizzas are unique and one of a kind! I love their gluten free options. Can’t wait for them to open their new location so I can eat more of it!

Erin Hamilton

Great tamales, great (welcoming, nice, helpful) service. Good vegetarian options, and clear markings for veg vs. vegan and gluten free. Sides are delicious too. Don’t forget some cinnamon crisps to go!

Kyle Russell

Be careful coming here with a gluten allergy. Although we made it explicitly clear this is a life threatening allergy this situation was handled with no care. This pancake was very clearly not the one I ordered but the waitress insisted I eat it until 5 minutes later she takes it back and doesn’t even say a word, and guess what. I still got cross contaminated and am sick from this food. Absolutely terrible place I wish I never came.

Paola Velo

I ordered at the drive thru and there was a big line but it was moving really fast. I waited no more than 5 minutes. Service was great, very nice employees and food was delicious. The protein style is great for gluten free diet and more healthy.
