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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

Jolene Theresa

TLDR: specializes in gluten free! very celiac friendly My celiac friend and I were in town and made sure to scope out all of the restaurants she could eat at. Civico takes gluten free very seriously. Her pasta was delicious and I couldn't even really tell it was gluten free. Our waiter was very kind and even helped out with some wine suggestions. The bread is my favorite part. As the gluten eating friend, I often miss out on bread because we just don't get it for the table but Civico passes it over in a brown bag which is great for me to take to go but also great for my celiac friend because no stray crumbs will get near her! Yes, thats excessive but, for the serious celiac, it can be an issue. 10/10 highly recommend!

Adam Clevenger

Officine Buona Forchetta's expansive menu accommodated our family's dietary needs and left us all well fed! From the artisan pizzas, build your own pasta dishes, to the gluten-free pizza crust, every selection was molto bene! 🤌 The staff were incredibly nice. The only slight criticism is the cocktails were weak.

Bluewaffles

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

Brittney Britts

I can’t say enough good things about this place! I have celiacs disease (gluten free) and they go above and beyond to ensure there is no cross contamination. The food is amazing and the service is awesome. We had Hailey as our server and she was kind, sweet, and attentive. We come from Phoenix a few times a year just to eat here. Love it!

Jennifer Hart

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! ❤️

Alex Nongard

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.

Nikki C

Sam was out waitress and she was awesome ! Super nice & great energy. I appreciate her making sure the kitchen got my order correct & asked them to remake my plate because I needed it to be gluten free.

David Rottblatt

A very fun (and delicious) brunch. My wife had the gluten free french toast which she loved, my one son had french toast and another had a kid’s pancake that came out as Mickey Mouse which was a very fun touch. We asked for an extra side of Bacon they call “Man Candy” which has a lot of potential but was ultimately soggy and missed the mark, making candied spiced bacon (their attempt at it) isnt hard, they just need to work on it a little more. I had the steak and eggs which was solid. The atmosphere was fun and the service was great. It got extremely busy on a Sunday after 10, so try to get in a little earlier!

I think it's very nice that they have gluten free options here, and all of the workers seemed very polite except one. The worker checking me out had such an attitude. He had short brown hair and when i politely asked for the gluten free creme brulee he gave me such a rude look and said "your confusing me, look in the case that's all we have right now" in a very rude tone. While i'm not upset that they were limited on the gluten free options that day, i am upset that the worker had to be disrespectful to a customer trying to find a gluten free option. It was confusing as online they had a long list of gluten free options but only 2 available things in store.

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.

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.

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.

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

dawn mattix

Love the ambience, food and wine here! They have one of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had and their happy hour happy meal is fantastic!

Crystal G

We stopped by while in the area for lunch. It was a sunny day and we were thrilled we didn’t have to wait and got a table outside under cover for shade. I ordered a gluten free flatbread with prosciutto and arugula. It was a nice size, very tasty and fresh ingredients. Service was good even though it was a busy day.

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.

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.

Chris Sortino

We had an incredible experience with Sydney as our server and recently also had Marni - both were amazing. Fern who seems to be the manager here was so accommodating with our gluten and dairy restrictions, and even gave us a table outside after we decided to try sitting inside, where it ended up being a little too loud. It’s always great done somewhere, where you don’t feel like a burden for speaking up for what you need and they were stellar in enhancing our experience. Can’t wait to come back 🙏🏼

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.

Jenn Raymond

I got the steak and cheese melt on gluten free bread and sweet potato fries. The food came out quick and hot. The worker, Alyssa R that helped me was amazing and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back.

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.

Monet D

I have Celiac (avoid gluten like my life depends on it). Tons of options. Super safe/ knowledgeable about cross contamination. EXCELLENT service (shoutout Catalina). Steak, broccolini and mashed was amazing w the peppercorn sauce. 100% recommend

Ellen Mitchell

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.

Christine

We had Jade as our server and we went in because we were staying at the Embassy Suites. After a busy day of travel it was the easiest option. WE HAD THE BEST SERVICE! We went in with our family and 2 of us have gluten allergies. The menu was accommodating but also the manager came (on his own without being asked) and made sure we knew what had gluten and what didn't. Our server was so helpful and sweet the entire staff was incredible, the food was so good. I cannot say enough positive things about this PF Changs. They got it out of the park with quality and service. So impressed!

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!

Jacqueline Purtee

Gluten free gnocchi is not easy to find, so I was ecstatic to try it. 100% recommend!

Patrick Tutka

Deep dish gluten free that tastes amazing. Nothing More needs to be said if you are in the gluten free community! So yummy. My wife and son loved their regular NY pizza as well!

Ross McDonald

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

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."

Aprell Delo

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

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.

Jayson W

Super knowledgeable and friendly with gluten and dairy allergies. They gave me a menu with the allergies and I was able to easily pick what to eat. The sausage links and fries are super good!

Jay Trivedi

Delicious food. Their vindaloo curry is amazing. Considering any of their flavorful dish near the beach is such a delight. Their chutneys were also unique. I would say this is a very nice restaurant. Their environment is cozy and peaceful. Their quality is what you would expect to be (amazing). I like how they provide gluten free options and vegan options. I would definitely visit this place again because my tastebuds enjoyed it.

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.

Gabriela Gimenez

food was great, gluten free burger was 10/10. We had to wait for a table and ended up eating on the tables next door so you might not find a place during lunch
