Lots of gf options with very helpful and knowledgeable servers.

Tiffany Alco

The food here is delicious and the whole place is super cute. Highly recommend the lemon blueberry pancakes 🥞. Also, everything at this location is gluten free and is vegan (unless you get eggs).

John Keszler

Amazing burger, very allergy friendly, gluten free options were incredible. Services was also incredible.

I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

Amazing food, and the Oaxacan old fashioned is awesome! Also if you are celiac the whole restaurant is gluten free so you can eat everything and not worry!

Awesome place to eat first time here in San Francisco, and being a gluten free celiac, they did the best gluten free double burger with lettuce buns I have ever had. Their fryer is also GF and the potatoes are cut on site.

Ashley Clark

If you love fries half as much as I do, this is definitely a place to come! Their loaded/drunk fries with carne asada??? Oh my goodness. The guacamole had just the right amount of spice, the Pico wasn’t too citrusy, the fries are FRESH CUT potatoes, the meat seasoned to perfection. The melted cheese? The aioli on top?…. Like woah, I’m blown away. 10/10 would highly recommend. Also, the street corn was good! Was piping hot! *the drunken fries are gluten free for those that are wondering*

It was a disappointment because online it states they have gluten free pizza with designated ovens. Not only they did not have it the waitress told us it is not a gluten friendly restaurant and that there is flour flying all over the place. Being celiac I walked out. Not nice at all. Celiac friends go across the street to Acquolina. Great service, atmosphere and gluten free options.

Unbelievably tasty crispy pillowy chewy gluten-free pizza crust I’ve ever tried. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My go-to so far is the ‘Sofia’ with mushrooms, artichoke & Italian ham. Superb service. Take your date, your mum, or heck yourself, here for a treat!

Ana Martin

This restaurant is amazing. We went later in the evening and had dinner. It’s such a cool vibe and the food was amazing. I’m celiac and I let the waiter know. He went over the whole menu and all but 2 items on the dinner menu are gluten free or can be made gluten free. He made notes on everything for my allergy. I would highly recommend you give them a try. The only slight downside is the portion sizes are a little on the smaller side so an appetizer is the way to go.

Great food!! Ordered the eggplant, spicy noodles, pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. We finished everything, it was so yummy. Finished with the gluten free chocolate cake, definitely decadent. Will return when we're in town. Service was quick and friendly. Love this place.

Kyle Scherrer

Great gluten free dairy free options! I’ve ordered in and done delivery via their website (which is cheaper than delivery apps by the way) - super high quality food, could not recommend enough :) a new local favorite

Anushka GVO

Great food! Options for vegans are good. The favorite is the big sweet potatoe fries with the buffalo sauce. The vegan gluten free pizza crust is soooo good.

Great service, very little wait. Pizzas were good, and love their gluten-free pizza options. Even though it’s a chain, it’s a nice place and worth the Uber!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Donuttery: The Holy Grail of Glazed Glory I don’t know what kind of wizardry is going on in the back of The Donuttery, but these donuts are not from this planet. I came in expecting “just a donut” and left questioning every donut I’ve ever eaten before this. These are the BEST donuts I’ve ever had—period. The selection? Absolutely ridiculous. There were more donuts than I have excuses for being late to work. Vegan, gluten-free, sprinkles, filled, frosted, twisted into beautiful little carbohydrate sculptures—I got decision paralysis at the counter and had to call in backup (aka my 2-year-old, who wisely chose pink with sprinkles). Every bite was like a warm hug from a sugary cloud. The glazed mochi donut was so good I considered writing it into my will. And don’t even get me started on the crème brûlée—I didn’t choose it; it chose me. Staff was friendly, vibe was chill, and I left with a sugar high and no regrets (except not buying a second box). Final verdict: If you don’t go to The Donuttery when you’re in Huntington Beach, you’re doing life wrong. 🍩🔥

Delicious and nearly everything is gluten free, too. It was so good that we ate there one night and went back for lunch the next day to try some things we didn’t eat the night before.

Mmmm! 💗 The Dough Room! My pizza was so tasty 🍕 I’ve been to a few pizza places with gluten free and this spot had a delicious gluten free crust! 🤤 I topped my pizza with alot of tasty toppings like, Olive oil Crème fraiche Onion Broccolini Garlic Mushrooms Black olives Arugula Herbs Basil SOOO GOOD I ate it for dinner & breakfast 😄😄

Food was amazing, great service! We had gluten free gnocchi, steak and ossobuco.

Tori Morrison

Loved this spot! Highlights: ambiance is a yes, pizza is a full fak YES. Their pizzas are a tribute to their own favorite pizzas from all over. Isn’t that the cutest and most inventive thing ever? Order: focaccia and burrata (just do it), enough pizzas to share, and some good drinks. We loved the tribute to the old Costco pizza and the meat lovers. Deep dish pizzas also looked to die for! Also, I’m gluten-free and LOVED their gluten-free pizza (usually I’m left feeling very disappointed but not here)! Great for: date night, friend hangs, family dinners, and casual solo pizza nights out with your dog (they have two patios for dogs to sit). Kids are welcome too! Make sure you make a reservation and try and carpool as parking around here is tough on a busy Friday/Saturday night.

These pupusas are too good! Literally had to come back the next day to get more after my first time trying them. I particularly love the large number of vegetarian options that they provide! Great gluten free place for those in your life as well! Tip on the tamales: the corn is fine, but the chicken is AMAZING. Just be careful of serving sizes because they do not shy away from large portions!

When I first arrived I asked about the gluten-free burritos and the first thing he said was that they were not a gluten-free restaurant but that they try their best to limit cross-contamination...so I ordered an El Pastor burrito and my husband ordered a steak burrito. I added some of the sauces from the sauce bar like pico de gallo, a spicy sauce, and the avocado sauce. Both of the burritos were delicious, however, 8 hours later both my husband and I were sick. I had severe cramps and diarrhea and my husband had diarrhea as well. This was not our typical reactions to gluten so I believe it was more likely food poisoning. I talked to Alex today about this and he was very apologetic and helpful. he said he could give us a refund but I mentioned to him that what's more important is to figure out why this happened, to make sure no one else gets sick. He told me that no one else got sick the rest of the day, but I reminded him that most people won't call or make the connection. He said that he would talk to the owner about it and make sure everything was kept at the proper temperature. I didn't see if they were using gloves when they filled and folded the burritos, but from now on, I will request that just in case it was a matter of unwashed employee hands... hopefully not. The place seemed clean otherwise, so it shouldn't be that! The music was too loud for us also... that's why I didn't give a 5 star atmosphere rating.

So good! As someone with celiac disease (gluten), this place was phenomenal! I had bruschetta and pasta!!! It's so amazing. I will be coming back. Loved this place. Separate GF menu, options on menu say "sub gluten free pasta / crust," for example.

Raj Singh

Good pizza. Celiac friendly if you let servers know. Family friendly

Tammy Marq.

Fantastic gluten free chicken sandwich and a dairy free chocolate shake! Heaven 😊

Marcel Fafard

Caffe Calabria is one of my new favorites. The gluten free pizza here is the best I've ever had. Amazing bar, and coffee roasting on site.

Call Krista

Great Pizza and good portions plus gluten free options. Only thing is it is a little loud and cold outside without a heater.

Ryan

Ash was such a helpful server. He helped me navigate the gluten free menu. And he was so attentive and really went above and beyond! Thank you Ash!

Clarissa Maloney

Gluten free: menu was pretty lacking. Our rolls were a bit bland and they won't adjust their specials, such as the $70 for Two dinner, to incorporate gluten free options even when it's a simple swap. That enough soured me to not want to come back. I found it a bit overpriced for the food we got, considering it was plainer than the regular rolls but cost the same. Go elsewhere, like Kru or Fish Face. Servers were great, it's just an administrative issue on how they run their menu for those of us with special dietary needs.

Sabrina

Really good meal! Lots of gluten free options that were helpfully labeled and the staff was super attentive. We ordered the saganaki (flame cooked cheese), dip of the day which was spicy feta, then also shared the village salad and the combination souvlaki with various meat dishes. The portions were generous. The gyros were a little bland and the chicken was somewhat overcooked but the lamb chops were delicious. Great tzatziki! They did have a 4% surcharge to pay with a card and only a small sign at the entrance about it, so I suggest bringing cash if you have it.

Teddy A

I ate here more than a few times a week while in school. It’s delicious and gf.

Lucinda Larnach

Great atmosphere, great food, great service! First place I visited after not having been in LA for a year. We found this place as my friend is gluten-free, and it has become a staple spot from now on. Food is beautifully served, and cooked to perfection. I also love the versatility in the menu options, and great drinks. We had Jeff as our server, and he was fantastic and super helpful! Whether inside or outdoor seating, it's a great time. 10/10 recommend.

V M

Outstanding experience. My daughter and husband have celiac disease and had zero reaction to the fantastic food options offered. The service was very prompt, the food was honestly the top five best I’ve ever eaten in my life, and the staff were very gracious and welcoming.

We were looking for a Coeliac friendly meal near Golden Gate Park and this was perfect. 100% gluten free food. The only gluten in the place was in a few beers available. Friendly staff. We didn’t play any games but saw a huge selection available. Recommend the waffle sandwiches, and the ice-cream floats to drink, yum!!

Margherita Paganini

Gluten free buns

Andrea Venezio

Wow! Great time with the grandkids! Service was great! Very patient with teens! Excellent Gluten-Free options. Couldn’t eat the fries but they gave a yummy side salad as a substitute. Parking is difficult because it’s on Pier 39… but worth the trip. It’s Hard Rock… will definitely go again!

Charlie Ratcliffe

Lovely service and ambience. Delicious gluten free bolognese and roasted salmon.

Madison Vanderklay

Such good food and kind staff. Their melon shiso cocktail is incredible and refreshing! Many good gluten free options and staff is very well informed on cross contamination and trace gluten.

Anthony Wright

Shelly A

This place is 100% gluten free. The food is so good. They have fried calamari. This is something you can never eat when you have celiac…very yummy. The chicken verde enchiladas are also yummy. But make sure save room for dessert. GF churros with chocolate sauce and mini cinnamon donuts with Carmel sauce are so good! There service has always been so good. Even if you are not GF this restaurant is soooo good!

Sarah Wright

This is a really solid happy hour spot in the neighborhood! If you’re looking to stay gluten-free or are hanging with somebody who is GF, I’d recommend Bivouac. The space is really cool; feels like a camping lodge! Lots of warm wood, climbing ropes, etc. The meatballs and polenta bites were flavorful, delicious, reasonably priced and portioned, & had strong sauce/dip-pairings. Service was okay. Not super attentive, and the flight took over 10 minutes to come out, which was weird, since the place wasn’t that busy. They ignored us a bit once some influencers showed up, meh. Watch out for the pricing on the cider flights! (Meaning, there IS no listed price… think it was like $18 each? For 3 tasters.) The hummus/crudites appetizer is underwhelming, as the veggies could be cut less coarsely, and the hummus was disarmingly minty (and not enough for all the dipping objects).

Vale Reali

I have celiac and I did get glutened here. I wish this wasn’t the case because the pizza is really good

Trevor Long

So good and for gluten free - just ask for protein style

Marcia Luger

The staff was attentive, cheerful and helpful. The food was excellent and included gluten free items. We will be back.

Laura Horowitz

The bar seems like the highlight of the place. I can't say it was the cleanest, but the food was good. As someone who is gluten free and afraid of getting sick at pizza places, this was a success. It tastes good (as good as gluten free pizza can get) and was safe. I had the cauliflower crust.
