Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across San Diego for Night Owls

The gluten free crust was really good! Service definitely stole the show, Giacomo was charming and kind. The rest of the staff were also attentive to guests needs regardless of if it was their table or not. Really makes a difference in making it a great experience. Would definitely come back.

Donna Wong

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.

Jason

Probably the best gluten free pizza I've had in the US. Pizzana, Sisters, and Ambrogio15 are also up there

Raj Singh

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

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.

Cynthia Jetson

BEWARE. The Gluten Free (GF) Labels on the menu mean GF options available for that dish, NOT that the dish is gluten free. Talk to your server about your order. I was excited when seeing the GF labels all over the menu, especially when seeing that most of those dishes involved pita bread. Sadly after talking to the bartender I learned that their pita is (obviously) not GF. Their rice pilaf also has soy sauce in it, so do not just assume the dish is GF even though they are labeled GF. Service was great and the food was good. Pricey, but normal for the gaslamp area and it was very tasty.

Ben Sager

Gluten free menu says it was voted best GF option in town and I see why. Was very good. Server was very knowledgeable.

We went here on a slow evening and sat at the bar. We ordered a cider and the gluten free chicken tinders and fries, I asked the bartender about the fryer and she assured me that it was completely gluten free and no chance of cross contamination. The $15 chicken tinders and fries were just okay, the chicken was dark meat which I thought was kinda gross and cheap for chicken tinders. Then I got violently ill later that evening and knew I had been glutened. 2 days later and I’m still recovering, don’t eat here if you have celiac. Also i definitely wish I would’ve checked Find me gluten-free reviews before I came.

Amazing pizza spot - longtime customer here! They treat their customers great, and they do an amazing gluten-free crust that's Celiac safe if that's what you're looking for! (Just mention it at the counter or when you call).

Gluten-free pasta is not celiac safe (shared pasta water). Entrees like the salmon can be made 100% gluten-free.

Bluewaffles

Horrible tater tots and can’t even get a small sized gluten free pizza. Ketchup was absolutely years past rotten

Luciana P

Came here for dinner with friends and it was delicious! Tiramisu was amazing. The crust was good and it’s made on a pizza oven so. Some friends ordered their pasta and said it was good; there’s egg pasta options too. Just when we thought there wasn’t any Parmesan cheese, a lady came with the biggest bowl with ever seen and served us! They have gluten free options (both pasta and pizza) and even dairy free/vegan cheese options for pizza- which is a great option for lactose intolerant people. Only complaint is that they only had like one bathroom and it took forever for us to use it.

We made a reservation for a family bday gathering and appreciated the thoughtful pre-dining service. Our outdoor seating location was beautiful with incredible views & comfortable seating. Ketch has fantastic house brews & a great assortment of beverages. We selected Ketch due to ease of parking, gorgeous location, kids menu & gluten free options. We didn’t “ketch” happy hour, but it’s epic! Service was swift and courteous; however, a few items were overlooked. Side of potatoes ordered but not delivered. Kids meals were missing whipped cream & a side of fruit & it took a 9 year old to point it out. Oopsie! Food was decent, but there were mixed reviews. - Skirt steak was well done instead of medium rare. They replaced the meal but still disappointing - The birthday “boy” ordered a short rib sandwich, and it was reportedly mushy, luke warm & lacking flavor. Fries were a mix of perfectly cooked & underdone - A poke bowl made “gluten free” means no farro (not sub rice, etc) & no sauce (they don’t offer tamari or any kind of gluten free sauce & no sriracha) - breakfast burrito was good but needed salt, which seemed to be a regular theme - Brussels sprouts are BOMB!!! Surf & turf dip was pretty yummy too - Fruit side was delicious fresh melon & pineapple - Delicious 🤤 unexpected free dessert for the bday “boy” with a candle Enjoy this spot tremendously & hope they can pick I the slack where they’re sliding. Wishing our experience was a 5 instead of a 3.5/4, but family & ambiance made up for it! ❤️

Excellent vegan fast food, many gluten-free options and a knowledgeable staff. Dedicated fryer for gluten-free food items for my celiac baddies. Gluten-free bun tastes gluten free, but that's what you get.

Madi sun

My server was very knowledgeable on celiac disease and helped me pick out stuff to eat. I didn’t get sick here which was amazing however it is a bar setting so for anyone who has gluten allergies I’d just go off the vibe of your server/bartender

Kanika Gupta

Love love love the vegan gluten-free options here!!!

Connie Merrill

The staff were friendly and new exactly what precautions needed to be followed when I told them I had celiac disease. The menu has items that are marked as Gluten free or can be made Gluten free. Great atmosphere and yummy food!

Bri Alvis

Bree was an amazing server, knew what she was talking about, made extra suggestions regarding drinks and food due to non alcoholic drinkers and Gluten free/celiac. We would def come back and hope to have her serve us again!

A Bilancia

Whenever I come to San Diego, this is one of my favorite spots to go to! I had a slice of one of their gluten free cakes plus their hot dark chocolate beverages. Both were amazing!!!

Dale Huntington

Got to go here for a gift and loved all the gluten free options. They even made us gluten free toast. The meat was so tender and I loved the 3 different 3 ounce steaks with the different toppings. Especially the crab. If we were to splurge again, we would definitely go back. And of course the view is gorgeous.

Jared Davis (PURP)

Quality agreements + made well will always = a superb meal. Pizza dough had a nice bounce to it while also getting a nice burn on the crust and bottom to give it that perfect crunch. Gluten free pizzas are solid too. Def will order from again.

Mclean Burke

The food was incredible, the menu has a little bit of everything, so there’s definitely something for everyone. Great gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options as well! The salmon and bone-in rib eye were by far our favorites. I would definitely recommend Greystone to anyone looking for incredible food and drinks, a great atmosphere, and stellar service.

Delicious Affordable Gluten Free Pizza within Walking Distance of the Beach? Slay All Day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seriously Some of the Best Pizza Ever

Hannah Mullen

I’m gluten free, and I’ve eaten more than once here! The staff are always considerate and helpful when helping with dietary needs.

Julian König

Great food and great service. It was my first time here and I'm definitely coming back. They have a lot of different pizza options, including gluten free and cauliflower crust. The pizza was delicious, with a lot of toppings and a perfectly cooked crust. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was also really nice, with a chill and comfortable vibe. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.

Tom Keller

We were very surprised by the menu and dishes served. There wasn't a theme I could discern. Most of the entrees were absolutely wild and unique to me and my gastroexpert wife. Don't get me wrong the food was extremely delicious, with serious attention to detail. Expansive beverage / wine / NA selection with some fun unique cocktails, like the iberico fat old fashioned. Appetizers were equally wild. Roasted oysters with bone marrow and horse radish butter? Venison tartar with calabrian chile? Yes yes and yes please! I'm sad we didn't try more : ( based on how scrumptious those were. Wild dishes that not only worked but stood above other elevated cuisines we've had in San Diego. Entrees continued the trend. We sampled two pizzas, one anchovi that was gobbled up and another that was gluten free and also goneso. I had the grilled iberico pork secreto, and found while some chew here and there, the balance with white beans, arugula and apple mostarda sauce was delightful. The Oxtail Gnocchi was sublime. The two real all stars of the night were the Torchio and the Cappelleti. Both for very different reasons. The latter has a lemon sauce that is vibrant, and the bugs bunny was very tender and flavorful. On the former it was a hot mess. Curly pasta with a huge burratta in the middle surrounded with succulent lamb. What?! I will say the portions of the gnocchi and cappelletti were perfect for a light meal. Side note, our server sent us two drinks that were not what we ordered (originally ordered the "shield" sauv blanc and got the "il masso" Pinot. Didn't complain because it was good but asked to taste the sauv and the server was correct in what I really wanted! Same with the Ponche he served the Lemon and Herbs and after trying both he was correct again!) Based purely on the vast differences of cuisine choices this is an easy repeat location. Atmosphere was open and inviting, modem but sophisticated. Glass Window Kitchen in the back provided all the right vibes. Looked at the desserts but could not indulge after such a filling and appetizing meal. Will repeat! Great job yet again, Brian!

Reza Kian

I love this place! The pizza is soo good and service is excellent. They have the best gluten free pizza options. Great brunch menu as well. Definitely recommend this place.

Malia Faith

Burgers with gluten free fries

Bill Scully

You got to love in n out. And you can get a Gluten free version. They use crisp lettuce in place of the bun. It’s a fast food place like McDonalds, busy, loud, but the food is 5x better.

carol segersin

Great place for eating gluten free. Menu has gluten free items clearly marked. When I asked about adding a pro my salad, server made sure I understood that all their proteins are grilled (no breading or coating) so no gluten goes on the grill.

Lucy Peritz

So good! Incredibly delicious Thai food. Consistently good, and service is fast and friendly. Their panang curry is the absolute best one I’ve ever had. Their spice scale is legit too. If you want spicy, you can get spicy. Lots of gluten free and veggie options, too.

Ivy O'Neill

So delicious, great service, great food! A ton of gluten free options as well. Came here during a trip with my family and we were all very impressed with our meals.

Tina Stephens

Gluten free options Non-diary milkshakes available Vegan cheese too! The foods are AMAZING and the staff are super friendly.

Gabriel Moise

This place is great and they have gluten free options. Karina is the best!!

Gary Standke

Ate here for lunch between museums. Not crowded, rapid service, fantastic food, with great views from the outside seating of the surrounding valley. The gluten free fish tacos were great with the server taking the time to document allergies to the kitchen. The offer of a reward for a review is inappropriate and is always refused.

Sarah DeBoy

I’m tellin’ you, this and a yap!! Bruschetta is prepped to share. $6 happy hour wine?! Lots of gluten free and low/no lactose options too!

Casey Cromwell

Always had a good experience at this location! Have a gluten free menu with a good amount of options, and I love that they serve gluten free orders on different plates for extra safety. Always ask for gluten free soy sauce!

Ross McDonald

Great food and atmosphere with a menu that clearly showed gluten free options, all staff were well across dietary requests

Jennie Morrison

North Italia in One Paseo is my new favorite Italian food restaurant! Every single team member we encountered was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. The kitchen & bar outdid themselves everybody enjoyed their dishes and drinks from the Brussels sprouts to the fried zuchinni chips, bread, pastas, pizzas, and salads. I’m gluten free and was so happy to see such an accommodating menu. I ordered the pesto chicken pasta and loved every bite! We had a big party of twelve and a late reservation, because our previous dinner reservations fell through. Honestly, I’m so happy they did. Despite our not-so-simple request for a Saturday night reservation at a busy location, they happily welcomed us in and took such good care of us! Thank you Nicole, Garrett, and all staff!

Sabrina

Great meal! The octopus starter and the lobster bisque were both amazing. Plenty of accommodations for dietary restrictions, and you can look online for a full gluten-free menu. They offer the classic Italian pasta wheel, but unfortunately it wasn’t tableside so we didn’t get to see them make it. Friendly service and a warm atmosphere, and lots of options to choose from.

Went here for lunch today. I usually avoid popular restaurants like this because of the long wait times. But, today a Thursday around 3PM wasn't bad--there was no wait. I usually try to avoid pastas but decided to give one a try today. I usually go for Alfredo because they are safe. I ordered the Da Vinci which is a creamy mushroom pasta with chicken. It was very savory and good I would recommend it. Got dessert had to get a cheesecake. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors today I had a chocolate one but I want to go back for a lime coconut one. They did have 2 no sugar added lower calorie options for the cheesecake which is great for people who are trying to eat less sugar. "Low-Licious Cheesecake. Low Carb, No Sugar Added and Gluten Free Cheesecake."

Jen Pardi-Cusick

Best food & service I've had in an airport (or any quick service place) in a long time. Brenda V knew the menu well, helped me find something gluten free, and was very sweet in pulling out an allergen list to make sure I had a safe choice! Also, the food was way better than I was expecting! If you're in the airport, go here.

G Tabares

I was looking forward to trying out their gluten-free ramen. Could have been great if it had some flavor besides salt. I tried to add many spoons of the table chili to offset it but it wasn't strong enough. The egg was cold and the mushrooms were kind of hard. I could only eat half. The friendly waiter brought my bill & pointed out a seemingly generous discount for my experience... It was actually the local discount & I live ~1000 ft away. I'll probably go back but definitely avoiding the ramen.

Aprell Delo

The gluten free options were delicious! Great service as well.

Stephanie Roush

Saw a review that it was the best gluten free pizza someone had ever had. Well… it was! 😍😍😍 oh my gosh every the leftovers are making my gluten free stomach happy. Prices are also so good for how large the pizzas are, through expect a $5 up charge for gluten free.

Robin K.

Great with Gluten free options. Even gluten free Key Lime pie for dessert. Service was wonderful. Sat out on deck with a great view. Very enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful experience. It is a bit pricey but really with it. I had the Hot Pot...it was very, very good.

Mark Lavelle

I don't usually leave reviews for pizza joints, but this place warrants it. Many styles of pizza, all delicious. Great prices, fast, and tasty! My wife got the Detroit style gluten free pizza, also amazing. Highly recommend.

Blaine Jester

Update: bumped 4 to 5 stars after reflecting how much I'll miss Cali-O as I move elsewhere Original: This place is one of my go to spots living in NP. It's on the pricier side, but I really think it's reflected in the taste because the ingredients are quite good. The beef is the star and if you get a fancy burger, it will be overshadowed by the extra stuff. I get the GF bun and sweet potato fries and have never had any feeling of gluten contamination!

Melinda C

The ambiance, atmosphere is great & very unique. This review is only for their gluten free options. It’s all very fried/unhealthy and not filling. I left feeling like we were just at an upscale version of Del Mar Fair except the fair is cheaper and I’d be more full. Everyone else at the table who didn’t need to eat gluten free had a delicious meal with so many options. I held off on eating here for over 8 years hoping to come when they had a better GF menu. I’d been in here for drinks and mocktails before and it was great. I waited until now bc they do have a couple more GF options than before. I love vegan food. I was sad that I left hungry and didn’t enjoy the food like everyone else did. I did pay a good amount for this food too.
