Top 8 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Hoboken

Isabella Olaguera

After finding ourselves searching for pizza with outdoor dining outside after 10pm, we had very few options local to Hoboken/JC. This is how we stumbled upon The Brick, and we were not disappointed! To provide context, I give this restaurant 5 stars for outdoor Italian dining after 10pm, but have further criticisms if that was not the case. Truthfully, we have overlooked The Brick for years, as the counter-service atmosphere (my reasoning for 2 stars) and fierce Italian dining competition didn’t give it any stand-out features. However, we were satisfied by our meal! We started with the complimentary garlic knots, which were addictive. We then had the fried calamari and chopped salad. The calamari was fresh and we did enjoy it all, though admittedly it was not competitive with other calamaris in the area. The salad was also everything we expected and a big portion which I liked. We then had a medium pizza, half chicken parm (with a personal modification of Vodka sauce instead of tomato) and half prosciutto-arugula. The crust was crispy, and the toppings went well together. I do think the toppings may have been a bit top-heavy for the pie, as I typically prefer a thinner NY style slice, but I still enjoyed it. We finished with the Spaghetti Fra Diavolo. It was good, but also not top tier Italian. Very spicy, if you’re into that! I was intrigued by the large vegan and gluten-free menu, which I had no idea about and would definitely recommend to folks with dietary restrictions. Overall, I think this is one of the best options for late-night sit-down outdoor Italian dining. But go any earlier, and the plethora of other options unfortunately outshines The Brick.

RUN here if you have celiac or other GF needs. They have fried donuts that don't taste like dry cake. SO GOOD. The marscapone donut was my favorite. The Nutella bites were good, but not as good as I hyped them up in my mind. If this place was around the corner from me I'd be here daily.

This place was amazing. My son goes to Stevens which is two blocks away and we went to have a meal with him. We sat outside which was really nice if you like to people watch. The tables were small but we made it work. The staff was on top of things for sure and the food and drinks came out fast. The food was delicious and the serving size was very very generous. My wife had gluten free pizza and it was one of the best she ever had. They also had gluten free pasta. The prices were not bad considering the amount of food and it is Hoboken. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to eat. Worth the visit for sure

One of my favorite places in Hoboken- I still can’t believe we can get gluten free calamari here!! Love love love the food, I’m usually paralyzed with the number of gf options, including flatbread, pastas, appetizers, and of course, great wine. My eyes are usually bigger than my stomach when we come here… what a first world problem to have. Highly recommend.

Corinne Esposito

Always a go-to for me! I called ahead before ordering delivery and the woman on the phone was very accommodating for my celiac. She said the kitchen will change their gloves and use foil on the grill for my order. Gluten free items on the menu are marked!

On the positive side, their gluten free crust and margarita pizza is really good . Wasn't sure if the mozzarella was fresh mozzarella as advertised but either way it was good. Service was good and the ambience is nice, upscale industrial bar. My issue is $30 for a medium pizza is just ridiculous . Like seriously outrageous . Medium pizza , soda and tip $44 ! 🤦‍♂️ Receipt below. It's too bad it was my first time here and I live a block away . Won't be back for pizza ever. Napolis's is $19 for their gluten free margarita with mushroom and pepperoni , blaze is $12 .

Overall the food was good, unfortunately we didn't have a great waitress. We purposely picked this restaurant to meet friends at because online it shows their menu has gluten free options. My fiancé has Celiac disease and he ordered the house chopped salad and informed the waitress he can't have gluten. The waitress said their dressing for that salad is a beer based dressing - the restaurant shouldn't be advertising it as gluten free if it has beer in it! She also got confused and said there was a vegan option of dressing she can do, which isn't helpful because that doesn't mean gluten free. Food allergies are something that if you're working in a restaurant, you need to know the difference between vegan and gluten free. We called a few days in advance to make a reservation and while we were there, the waitress wasn't giving us enough time to order, she came back three times and then finally told us that there is a party coming in later and they have the whole restaurant booked. We purposely called in advance for the reservation, the restaurant shouldn't have taken a reservation for when we asked if they were going to be pushy to rush us out. Lastly, this is just minor but we ran out of water very quickly (before our food came) and the waitress never came back once until our food was done. I know this is a long post and usually people complain just to complain. If you see my other reviews, most of them are 5 stars. Mainly I wanted to post this because I wouldn't want someone eating there and getting sick or having an allergic reaction.

For years I have watched everyone enjoy bread at the table. But The Cuban offered me a while basket of GLUTEN FREE casaba bread. It was so delicious, I almost cried! Our server was so nice and helpful in helping me choose gluten free items on the menu. This will definitely be a regular stop for us whenever we visit the area!

Cara Zuraski

For when you want a noodle stir fry dish that’s gluten free- order the rice noodles and the red curry sauce. (Full disclaimer: this is actually the five soy spice sauce which is NOT gf. But I was weak 😂. Actually tho, I was kinda disappointed cause I think the red curry tastes better now that I’m used to it. It’s creamier and more savory).

Jenna Benvenuti

This place is adorable and has many gluten free options. I got the granola bowl and it was yummy. The staff is also very friendly!

Alexis Sabbaghian

Delicious pizza and pasta and a great gluten free selection for those that are gluten sensitive. Highly recommend and have been back 2 times since first going!!

David Brown

Great location! We were fortunate to be given a table right at the front with an uninterrupted view of the waterfront and the New York skyline. The serving staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately two of the four main courses our party had chosen were not available and this was only mentioned when the order was placed ... It would have been more helpful if we had been told earlier, i.e. when menus were given to us, the items which were not available. The food was good. One member of our group declared that it was the best gluten free pizza he had ever had. The prices reflect the location as well as the food so are higher than for comparable food elsewhere. The one negative element was that there was only one restroom for all guests and this did not look as if it had been inspected or cleaned recently.

Jill_thestylist_

I’ve never seen more professionalism, cleanliness, and care like this! And they have gluten free and vegan options ! Very nice staff and atmosphere

Ashley Calderini

Thankful for all of the gluten free options!!! The buffalo chicken Caesar wrap hits every single time.

Elizabeth Brett

Great brunch place! The servers are very helpful and the food is great. I also have a gluten allergy and was able to eat most things, including gluten free toast and the breakfast potatoes.

alexa garcia

AMAZING PLACE. made me a whole personal GLUTEN free pie. AMAZING COME HERE!

april steinke

Our friends ordered the regular pizza which seemed amazing… but the gluten free pizza we got was, to put in more kindly, not worth getting. Yeah, let me just put it that way….no need to get that gluten free pizza. If you need gluten free…move on.

Madeline Stiles

Gluten free chicken caesar wrap is fire. Especially love that they use roasted red peppers. $15 and massive.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! I really appreciated that they clearly marked the gluten-free options on the menu. The quinoa and squash dish was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying it! The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very enjoyable.

Madeline Stiles

Best little gluten free treat in Hoboken!!! This Blondie lives rent free in my mind.

Geraldine Ciaccia

Shaka Kitchen stands out in the fast casual scene with its chef-curated, health-focused menu that caters to every dietary need. Whether you're into keto, vegan, gluten-free, or have other dietary preferences, they offer delicious solutions without compromising on flavor. A must-visit for a guilt-free, yet tasty dining experience!

Neo Universe

The best pizza place in Hoboken with gluten free things. But when the manager isn't there it gets less crisp.

Joanna Guaimano

The service at Saka is unmatched, the owner is an absolute gem who is passionate about her business. The food was excellent and came out quick. I have a gluten allergy and they were more than happy to make accommodations. They stand out amongst all the Japanese places in Hoboken!

David Delaney

One of our must go to places when in town. Always good food and service, the 2 most important requirements when finding a place. They also have gluten free options which is important to us.

Abby Washuta

So good and so many gluten free options. The owners take good food a d service seriously and it shows.

Lena Medina

From the adorable and incredibly attentive server to the last crumb this place was a delight. I went with a group of friends who didn’t have a single bad thing to say. They were very considerate of our friends gluten allergy and even that tasted out of this world. Our server Kristen was even kind enough to get the name of the gluten free bread so our friend could purchase it for herself. Would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a good meal with great service!

Ruchi Patel

The Margherita pizza on gluten free cauliflower crust was absolutely phenomenal. I’ve lived in the area for about a decade and never once been to Imposto’s, decided to try it out based on recent positive reviews when I had a craving for pizza while on a temporary gluten free diet. The sauce was simply heavenly, so so flavorful and perfect proportions of sauce and cheese. The cauliflower crust was surprisingly tasty as well, given I’d never tried it before. Staff is super friendly. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be back next time I have a pizza craving! Husband also liked the wings, and he’s quite picky with his wings!

Diana “Dee” Falvo

Really yummy, tasty, and fresh food - exquisite gluten free pizza dough. Fun vibes, and fun tasty drinks. Highly recommend

Chris High

This place has one of the best burgers on the planet, and it is available with a gluten free bun. The Moran’s burger is easily the best in Hoboken. The poutine is excellent, nachos are good. I love this place.

Gianna Altomare

Natalie helped my fiance plan a surprise engagement party for us and she was incredibly helpful. She was very accommodating with all the changes he had to make with the date, time, and food. Being celiac, it's not always easy to find safe food to eat at a big party, but she made sure all of the food was celiac safe and DELICIOUS. All of our guests are still talking about how good the food and drinks were. I highly recommend the Ainsworth for your next party and the back bar lounge is a fantastic spot.

Angelika Figueroa

Delicious! Love coming here with my husband. The atmosphere is fabulous and the gluten free options are a plus!

Michele Ventura

This is the best neighborhood-red-sauce kind of place. If you're looking for excellent pizza (including a gluten free option), large portions of pasta, Italian dishes with great ingredients including organic chicken, and the best cannoli in town, look no further. Great for delivery but also BYOB if you dine in.

Facundo Paiva

A historical dinner that teleports you with its setting and food. Potatoes can improve. Very good burgers and delicious milkshakes. “They have gluten free bun (bread). The price is reasonable. It may take me a little while to eat, but it's worth it. Gabriel took great care of us. I recommend this place.

Palak Shah

Bestttt iced vanilla chai. Love the space & good gluten free options.

Dor Posner

Upscale Mexican restaurant. There are many gluten free options

Marilyn Zimmer

Lex Decker

They carry the Eat Original Sunshine bagels and can make things celiac safe! The prep time goes up ~5 mins for celiac safe requests

ricky kaplan

The fries are outstanding and they took special care to make the fries gluten free by dedicating a fryer for just fries and nothing else that would cross contaminate the fries with gluten. Excellent for people who have celiac like my daughter and grandson

Rachel Colwell

Really great experience here. Went with my sister and sat with our food and coffee outside. Huge patio deck with many tables. This is my new favorite spot! Thank you for carrying gluten free choices. Annie & ems is my favorite!

Cindie Dowell

My group of 4 were all pleased with our meals. The fresh ricotta and my pork belly tacos was delicious. I was surprised they didn't have chicken wings (because I'm gluten-free)

Ross Yudkin

I had the filet of sole and a glass of Chardonnay and my wife had the burger. Sole with au gratin potatoes was excellent and loved that they have gluten free buns for my wife (she has an allergy).Food and atmosphere was great but it was a busy Friday night so just a hair slow on the service but still great experience. Reasonable prices, will definitely go back!

Lauren Hoelzer

Love this place. Coffee is fantastic and the gluten free cookies are quite good. The super friendly and helpful staff give the place a fun vibe. Wish they used green ware and paper straws.

Amber Shipley

Very Reasonably priced meals and good portion sizes. Lots of gluten free options. It was one of our favorite meals in town. The quality definitely exceeds the price.

Erica Brackman

The fish here was extremely fresh. The servers were also knowledgeable about gluten free requirements and things I needed to add or change. I thought the nasu miso was just so so but the sushi was 🔥

Renee Silver

Great experience and great food! I love the variety of gluten free options available and look forward to trying more of them!

Joelle Eberhart

Such a cute place!! Truly special and they have so much to offer. The manager is amazing, puts her heart and soul into her shops. Not to mention the coffee that is truly to die for. Can't wait to go back!! I hear soon they'll have a vegan and gluten free menu!!!

Evan Bindz

Great food! The workers were very helpful! I asked them about what would be ok for my gluten allergy. I got summer rolls with chicken, pork, and sausage, and tried the sriracha mayo and house sauce (fish sauce). If you have a gluten allergy make sure to tell them to they know not to add the fried rolls or chips. The shrimp should also be gluten free. The lemonades are delicious! I got lychee lemonade with a little bit of strawberry thrown in.

Gina Dipierro

Nice local flair is the atmosphere at Zach's. Always busy. Take reservations. If you ask, they will try to work with you to make your order gluten-free. The 2 other people I was with said the burger buns were dry. Crabcake was tasty but a little small. Fries are delicious. Their Shortrib sandwich is also a winner. Bartender was our server and couldn't be nicer. In Hoboken, try Zach's!
