Everything is made with tapioca and completely gluten free and really accommodating with nut allergies too!

Harris Bleaker

I would not recommend this place for allergies, especially for people with celiacs. Unfortunately, places like this are the most dangerous for people with food allergies. The menu is marked and seems inclusive, but the staff I interacted with was not aware and did not care or take note when I asked about gluten free options and said that I have a gluten allergy. The person working didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked if the fries are fried in a shared fryer and was annoyed when I asked if she could check. She left and didn’t come back with a clear answer so, I played it as safe as possible and my food still came out carelessly on bread. I brought it to the counter and they brought it right back out without the bread. No communication. At that point I started noticed the lipstick on marks on my water cup and the jars of shared condiments where anyone can dip whatever utensils they want into it (including contaminated knives spreading on bread and back). I was grossed out. I have celiacs. These details matter. I know how to navigate menus and how to respectfully advocate for the bare minimum. It’s not clean and it’s not safe.

Was so fortunate to come across this lovely diner that had quite an extensive vegan menu plus gluten free options. Will definitely visit again

Gluten free Mexican options that taste amazing? Sign me up! Honestly, I recommend Metro Taco whether or not you need to eat GF. I like the shrimp tacos and the mushroom tacos - but the others are also great. Solid guacamole with GF chips! The best! Great, relaxing restaurant to have in the neighborhood. The owners and staff are friendly.

Be wary if you have issues with gluten here. Their menu states that they take "extreme cautions to minimize the risk of cross contamination", but the waitress told me that they boil their noodles in the same water as their dumplings, meaning ANYTHING with noodles is cross contaminated (including the pho and spring rolls). Honestly, this is super disappointing and does not indicate much care for minimizing cross contamination. That being said - their cocktails were tasty. My husband got their pho and enjoyed it. I got the Vietnamese chicken curry, which was tasty but VERY spicy. Service was kinda slow; it took quite a while to get our drinks ordered and then to get our food order in. They brought out our entrees but forgot my husband's summer rolls. I also requested no cilantro on my dish but it came out with a huge sprig on top. Overall I found this to be a disappointing experience, considering the blatant cross-contamination and hit-and-miss service.

For years, Dosa Delight has been my favorite restaurant in Jackson Heights. Whether dining in, taking out, or catering, they never disappoint. I highly recommend them as caterers for your next event, especially the palak paneer and samosa chaat. Dosa is also a great option if you have vegan and gluten-free guests. The amount and quality of food is unmatched, and they will absolutely be on-time and professional, making the entire party-hosting experience far less stressful. Even my Keralite parents approve of the dosa here. Management is extremely responsive, helpful, and polite. Thank you, Dosa Delight!

Nick Tush

The food is always amazing. Service is fantastic and quick. Will come back. Can make everything gluten free and are very understanding of it.

Liz Centeno

First time here It was recommended. I ordered 2 gluten free beef empanadas and 3 chicken and a regular chicken. The beef were actually beans I didn't see any beef and tasted only beans so no beef. I also didn't notice that one chicken was missing, but I had walked a long way and didn't go back to correct order. I ate what I received (though I'm not a bean person) and they were good. The chicken I had pickup for someone else... I will revisit when I'm in the area again. Coming from Brooklyn is a long way👀 and will check the order before walking away.. its a curb side spot so you order from a window.

Green Olive Pizza: A Gluten-Free Oasis in a Kosher Desert Listen up, fellow New Yorkers. We all have those food memories, the tastes of childhood that cling to us like a good slice of pizza grease. For me, before the gluten-free life chose me, it was the falafel and pizza joints of Flushing, Queens. Now? Finding a decent gluten-free falafel, let alone a pizza, that doesn't taste like cardboard is a quest worthy of Indiana Jones. Enter Green Olive Pizza. This place, my friends, is a revelation. Kosher and a gluten-free haven? It's like they read my mind. The decor is pleasant, with a subtle nod to its Jewish theme – nothing over the top, just a comfortable, neighborhood vibe. The staff? So kind, so friendly, you'll feel like you've known them for years. But let's get to the important stuff: the food. As someone who remembers the glory days of gluten-filled falafel, I can tell you, Green Olive's gluten-free version is legit. It's got that same satisfying melt in your mouth cornucopia of flavors, that transports me back to those Flushing days. And if the gluten-free is this good, I can only dream about what their regular pizza is like. There are unique flavors here, for sure, but they're not trying to be fancy for the sake of fancy. Everything is well-balanced, delicious, and, most importantly, satisfying. For a gluten-free, New Yorker, Green Olive Pizza isn't just a restaurant; it's a lifeline. It's a place where I can enjoy the flavors I love without sacrificing my dietary needs or my memories. Thank you, Green Olive Pizza, for bringing a little bit of home back into my life.

Best Gluten Free Pizza in NY

Anthony Curcio Jr.

First time at Bruno's and I was impressed with the food and friendly staff. The filet of sole oreganata was excellent and the puttanesca sauce was flavorful. There was a good selection of specials. Id recommend Bruno's for anyone with celiac disease, while there is no dedicated GF menu, the staff was accommodating and was able to make dishes off menu. We asked for a grilled calamari since they only had a fried option. The waiting area is a little cramped, but nothing an espresso martini couldn't help.

Bourbon

We were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place. My family is on a gluten free diet and until we got here they were bummed out to not be able to taste some real NYC pizza. Well here they got their wish and LOVED it! Owner was also very nice as they were getting ready to close when we got here. Will come again when we are in town.

Lana rob

Yum, yum, yum! Amazing light gluten free desert!!!!

Tim Huber

Insanely good gluten free pizza. Lots of options. Highly recommend.

Saul Kaiserman

We had a lovely dinner, they were able to accommodate our celiac needs.

This review is for the vegan pie with cheese. First let me say the service was great, for the most part, and I really appreciate them offering a vegan pie (that is also gluten free!). Major props. I’ve seen some gnarly factory farming docs and have seen things I can’t unsee, hence eating vegan. That said, the only reason for the low stars is just that, it’s not worth $30 and I can’t justify spending it again. The tomato sauce was tasteless and the basil not fresh, and somehow it had like zero flavor. I doused it in chili oil and garlic powder to add flavor. Toppings are needed to make this worth your while. Offering a pie with, say, broccolini and chopped garlic (or even just cheese and mushrooms!) could make this more substantial. I almost got halal cart after this but just decided to call it a night.

Maria Hatzoglou

Love this place. Not only do they make great iced and hot drinks, but their desserts are so good. It’s difficult to get really good gluten-free sweets without sacrificing either texture or taste but they have cracked the code. Whether in-store or getting delivery, your order is delish and quick.

Maddy Boudreau

5 star restaurant hands down! Highly recommend the $15 lunch special every day (not just weekdays). I got the vegan chickpea bowl and my boyfriend got the Chicken Korma, it was so good I highly recommend that one if you are able to eat dairy, highly recommend the butternut squash soup. Servers are very respectful and attentive. Definitely a gem and will return. Vegan and gluten free friendly.

Kat Jones

Looking for a spot that had gluten free and vegetarian options and decided to try this spot. Everyone was so nice and the food hit the spot. Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area.

Perri MacKenzie

I usually like this place but I waited an hour and a half for them to make my food wrong twice. I ordered the spam bun gluten free and when it first came out after waiting 50min it had crunchy onions on it that are not gluten free and asked them to remake it. I ordered the noodles but once it was remade they gave me rice.

Melissa Salerno

Best gluten free ceaser pizza

Sarah Frazier

Lovely neighborhood spot for delicious crepes (sweet and savory) and steak frites. Great French wines available at a reasonable price too. Good options for vegetarians and Gluten free

Esthee Wong

Huge selection of different types of empanadas including gluten free ones. We bought a dozen of different variety of baked and fried ones, all savory. Not very distinguishable but quite tasty!

上条（上条『Kamijō』）

Went as a group of 8 and waited 30 minutes to be seated. The atmosphere was really nice but nothing that stands out. We waited another 30 minutes for our food to arrive and the portioning for the cost is unequal. It’s on the pricier side if you are looking for a decent meal in the areas. The burger itself is serviceable but the real issue was the gluten free pepperoni pizza which was a disappointment given its taste and size. Overall definitely better places out there if you are on a budget or well want a quicker service time.

Thank you for adding back the small package gluten free soy sauce! We had good experience with Spring shabushabu as always. The food and service are excellent. Also the restaurant is super clean. The only request would be is to have one or two choices of the gluten free soup base. I know the Spring in flushing has one gluten free soup base (mushroom veg) but at the Westbury location, no gluten free soup base and we had to use hot water as the soup. All vegetables, tofu, meets, seafoods, etc are gluten free, so I feel if you can provide a gluten free soup base would be great for people who has gluten allergy/celiac.

Manuel B.

Great authentic Thai food! Lots of options in the menu that are fully gluten-free and clearly marked as GF. The server also made sure all our items were gluten free (everything from noodles to sauces)

Christopher

Had gluten free options and friendly service - the arepas were slamming too

MATILDE

Very good gluten-free pizza (very different from those you eat in Italy, but I liked it)

Whitney A.

This place is a fave — it’s cute, walkable to the park, and has such a varied menu. Also, it carries such delicious gluten-free treats! I try to get a lamington slice whenever I pass by. The bev menu is extensive and the coffee is great. Honorable mention to the lavender latte, it’s def worth a try! ☕️

Anna Holtzman

I just ate dinner here for the third time in 10 days because I love it so much! The people are so nice and friendly, the place is cozy and comfortable, and the food is great — and they have gluten-free options, which I was surprised by and it was a great bonus! Such a great place to eat in the neighborhood and they have much more than pizza, a full menu of delicious options for dinner!

Judy Gennarelli

Had the burger with fries, they had gluten-free devoted fryer! Haven't had fries in forever!! Food was great, atmosphere very smooth!!

Erin Ly

Upon arrival, the staff were friendly and the space felt very cozy especially with the stark temperature difference nowadays between indoors and outdoors. The warm lighting as well as the combination of wood and metal fixtures works cohesively. Ordered: -Roti Massaman: roti bread with potato, onion, peanuts in massaman curry sauce garnished with fried onion. Medium spicy. -Nam Tok Nuer (Beef Salad): Beef flank with dried chili, red onions, toasted rice powder, cilantro, scallion, mints and fish sauce lime dressing. Mild spicy. Gluten free. The food was okay. Roti was freshly prepared, soft, and flaky. As for the massaman curry sauce, it was too tangy for my liking but the ingredients served with it were cooked perfectly. Also, I thought it was pretty mild in spice even though it is listed as medium spicy on the menu. I appreciated the thinly sliced beef flank for the salad item but it was well-done so it was chewy and made for quite the jaw workout. It would have benefitted with more toasted rice powder. If I were to order this dish in the future, I would ask for some fresh or extra dried chili on the side to spice things up a bit plus a side of sticky rice. Overall, my dinner experience was not bad and I can see this business doing well in the neighborhood especially with their bar section. The space would be great for hosting small private events or celebrations too.

I've been to this HDL location a few times by now and always enjoyed it, but I wanted to leave a review because of the exceptional service we got last night! My friend is allergic to gluten, but we've eaten at Haidilao before and she usually gets the tomato broth. When we told our server (I think his name is Jiahao?), he told us he would double check to make sure the tomato flavor was actually gluten-free since the formulas change from time to time, and he was also concerned about cross contamination. When he found out the tomato was no longer gluten-free, he suggested a few options, and ended up getting my friend the tonkotsu with a small alteration to make it gluten-free. He even made her a dipping sauce since he wanted to ensure it was gluten-free, and the staff also brought out gluten-free soy sauce for my friend to use. I'm so grateful for the extra considerations for my friend's allergy! Even though the restaurant was extremely busy (Saturday night), the service was still excellent. Haidilao remains one of the few places my friend and I can safely eat together in Flushing~ already planning my next trip! thanks so much again and a big shoutout to Jiahao <3

John Frisbie

Always chaotic. Not sure if it would pass inspection but they are getting better at taking orders and getting them right and they’re friendly enough. And cheap! Good fries. And gluten free corn and arepas

Tim Grooms

Unfortunately, this occasion was for a repast of one of my favorite people ever during my life. The Park Side Restaurant was his favorite place. Everything was tip notch as expected because this is how they operate. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I require assistance due to having celiac. The Park Side helped brighten the day, so we were able to celebrate his life.

Lauren Fournier

5 stars just for the extra mile trying to prevent cross-contamination with my gluten free pizza. They provided my own pizza cutter. This gluten free crust tastes different than any other with a bit of a buttery cracker flavor.

**Subject: A Culinary Adventure at Our New Favorite Spot** Dear Jamrock Jerk Team, I hope this email finds you well. My family and I recently visited your restaurant for the first time, and I must say, we were thoroughly impressed! Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the **Jerk Chicken Plate**. Oh, what a delightful journey for our taste buds! The flavors danced harmoniously on our tongues, leaving us craving more. Here's a breakdown of our experience: 1. **Jerk Chicken**: Tender, succulent, and perfectly spiced. The smoky aroma wafting from the plate was irresistible. Each bite was a celebration of Caribbean flavors—fiery yet balanced. Bravo! 2. **Rice and Peas**: The rice was fluffy, and the peas added a subtle sweetness. Together, they complemented the chicken beautifully. It felt like a comforting hug from Grandma's kitchen. 3. **Plantains**: Ah, the sweet and caramelized plantains! They provided a delightful contrast to the savory chicken. We couldn't get enough of their melt-in-your-mouth goodness. 4. **Salad**: Crisp lettuce and Julien carrots—refreshing and light. It was the perfect sidekick to the bold flavors of the main dish. As new customers, we appreciate the effort you put into creating such a memorable dining experience. Your team's passion shines through every detail, and we're already planning our next visit. Keep up the fantastic work! Thank you for making our evening special. We look forward to exploring more of your menu and sharing our delightful experiences with friends and family. Oh I forgot to mention, Gluten Free... Warm regards, Chef Mo Saint Albans --- @Chefmobile1 Bon appétit! 🌟👏

Julie Schroeder

Really enjoyed our dining experience. Had the tacos which is a special right now. They were really good. Drinks were delicious. Friends had burgers and flatbed, huge servings there. Would have liked to see a side salad or something with the tacos instead of just two tacos. The flourless Chocolate cake was delicious. They were very knowledgeable with what is gluten free and went and asked the chef if they weren't sure. I was very happy with the care they took in helping me find options that wouldn't make me sick. Will be back.

Lucy P

Gluten free personal size pizza was great!

Victoria Sunderman

Had such a good time here. The food was so good and had a lot of variety Thai food and not just the basic fare, which we loved. There were also multiple vegetarian options, which is great for me! Both tofu and gluten are available for most dishes, as well as just vegetable, and if you're vegan, they clearly mark which dishes are fully vegan. The waitress we had was so sweet and attentive and asked us if we had visited Thailand before because of what we ordered and we chatted about it, it was such a lovely experience. The restaurant is decorated so cute, with flowers everywhere and pretty consistent flower theming, and our desserts came in the cutest dishes. I live in Manhattan, but I would absolutely make the trip to come here again!

Karen Hussey

Very warm & friendly restaurant. I have celiac & I’m limited in what I can order. I had skirt steak with Creamy polenta & sautéed spinach. It was delicious & such a treat No sickness or reaction at all. I can’t wait to go back again!!

Riley McDanal

This is one of my favorite restaurants. All of the servers and staff are super nice, and the food is excellent. I’ve had dine-in service several times and regularly get takeout (maybe once a week on average). The food is high-quality and also very consistent in quality. There are also plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. I only have good things to say about this place!

Kevin W.

An unassuming little shop with food that'll blow you away. I stopped by a couple weeks ago and got the regular corn dog and spicy soy garlic chicken sandwich, and while both were incredible I can't stop thinking about the chicken sandwich! Service was fantastic, and I had asked about allergy information (my friend has Celiac and I wanted to find somewhere with gluten free corn dogs and donuts) and the man at the register was very helpful in figuring out what flour they use. Unfortunately it's not gluten free (they use wheat flour along with the rice flour) but I'll still keep coming myself!

Yelena Furman

I don't usually review places unless I've been there at least twice, but this one is well-earned! The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the restaurant was accomodating to dietary needs. The outdoor seating is also cute and much appreciated since Covid levels are quite high right now. I brought my friend here for a farewell dinner since she's moving away. We both have dietary needs and I called ahead to make sure they could accomodate. We really appreciated that their menu marks vegetarian and gluten free options. Plus the staff graciously worked with us on my allergies to garlic and onion. Our server was very attentive and sweet. She made sure we didn't feel rushed to leave since we were taking a while to talk and eat. We asked her to take a photo of us and she went out of her way to take several. The food was also great! They had a lot of vegan options, some of which I hadn't seen before at Thai restaurants. The prices are reasonable, even competitive compared to others in the area. We got lychee thai teas and split the summer rolls, subbing the sauce for plum sauce. I got the Sauteed String Beans & Eggplant and my friend got the Peanut Curry. The dishes were well-presented and the portions were generous. Make sure you note your spice level because their default curry spice may surprise you 😂 I'll definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely last night for us 🥰

Jamie Naggar

One of our favorite spots in Queens to grab lunch and a drink. Can't beat the view! Service and food are great. Clearly labeled menu makes this celiac foodie very happy.

Jackie Burka

Traveling to NY and had a luncheon at Il Bacco. My daughter has celiac and I was worried about her being able to eat off the selected menu. Our waiter, Dorel was wonderful and brought a gluten free option for every course and each one was that outstanding. My veal Marsala was delicious and authentic. Will definitely return.

Erika Perzi

Tried this place based on review for gluten free pizza and could not have been more disappointed - expected a house made crust, given the rave! Crust was generic and tougher than frozen pizza, cheese greasy and sausage was thick slices. Sauce was quite good though, tasty. All said, expensive endeavor given quality.

paolo carcione

Great joint for NY's classic slice. The place is clean and welcoming, the pizza delicious (I personally love the garlic knots here). I look forward to gluten free and vegan options coming soon.

Ben Stephens

So good for a dollar slice or late gluten free pizza!

George Panagopoulos at Douglas Elliman Realestate

Great lunch spot for something quick and tasty. I usually get the lunch box special which includes wrap, soup and shake. The best shake is the calypso and the best wrap is the the grilled chicken mex. The wraps options are whole wheat, sun-dried tomato, plain and gluten free with either chicken breast or chicken thigh. The nutty teriyaki chicken is also very good. The staff is nice and friendly which is always a plus. Parking is easy and best way to order is for pickup sometimes it gets very busy as the hospital is down the block.
