Top 48 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in San Diego

Deepthi Rao

I can’t believe all the great reviews here. The service was terrible- we were ignored for over 30 mins before our order was served. The waitress didn’t seem to even bother to ask us about our food- though she was doing that to all the neighboring tables (racist much?). The food was quite bad, tbh. The hot shrooms were drenched in oil- had no salt or flavor, and oozed oil when we bit into it. My friend felt really nauseated after because of all the oil in it. The pizza was also under seasoned(we got the motor thingy)… the tomato sauce was really sweet- not in a good way. It felt like they had added sugar instead of salt. The gluten free crust was more like a focaccia, it wasn’t bad but felt like I was eating a sweet tomato focaccia toast, not a pizza. And there was really no flavor outside of the sweet tomato sauce. Very disappointed.

Very cool environment, great service, delicious food & beer. Love that there are gluten free options and items are marked on menu. Definitely recommend going! 👌

Casey Cromwell

Great 100% gluten free spot! It is also raw and vegan, so it does not have the most traditional meals and desserts but they are still very yummy. I enjoyed the various raw desserts we ordered and my cashew cheese quesadilla.

Nicki Ohrstrom

The best gluten free choices! The server was so fun & personable!

Elizabeth Ellis

Great gluten free options as well as dairy free since the restaurant is vegan too!

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.

Love to come here when I visit San Diego. Even better that they have safe gluten free options. The people are always friendly.

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.

The service was lovely and as someone with coeliac disease, I felt very safe eating here (the server let me know that the original owner’s wife is celiac, and so that made me feel like they would have a good understanding of cross-contamination). The eggs and hashbrowns were just OK and the chicken sausage and the pancake that I had were pretty good.

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.

William Silva

best salad and potatoes !

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.

Mark Vasat

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).

Ben Sager

Symptomatic celiac, ate there twice in my trip and did not get sick. Gluten free menu was really good. Nachos were a large serving.

Malia Faith

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

makenna hopwood

the sandwiches are delicious, staff is so so nice, and they have multiple gluten free options. big fan!

Robin Ayers

Great gluten free options with a well labeled menu. Our Waiter said everything that goes in the fryer is gluten free (fried chicken, potatos, fries, etc) Good prices too

Marcos Almonte Perez

Celiac friendly! Gluten free pancakes, French toast and other great food choices. Fresh squeezed juices and excellent coffee. Honey is available. One of the best breakfast places in America! The ambiance was so much fun and inviting. Service was slow to start but then once ordere, the amazing food came out quickly. This is a must!!

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.

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

Will Rob

My girlfriend and I have always loved blaze. Ordered delivery late Wednesday night for $68 on Uber eats. two pizzas, one gluten free, one regular. My gluten free was horrible, soggy, salty, pepperoni tasted off. Almost inedible. Even then I wasn’t considering writing a bad review until my girlfriend developed food poisoning symptoms roughly 20 hours after eating delivery from this blaze. We know it was blaze because we ate the same exact food over that 20 hours save for me getting gluten free crust and her getting regular dough. I suggest the manager of this establishment reviews which of their inadequate employees was working late Wednesday night and figure out what went wrong. We’ll never eat at blaze again.

Brenda Frauenhoff

This is a nice place to go for breakfast. I love the atmosphere! I'm gluten-free, and they have quite a few options. I ordered shrimp and grits, and it was very good. They did a little bit of their own take on the dish, adding in some corn on top, which I could have done without, but it was very tasty. My husband had pancakes, which were good. You do have to pay extra for syrup. They put powdered sugar on the pancakes. My husband ordered the pancakes without the powdered sugar, but it came with it anyway. Our waitress Kassi was very attentive and gave us the perfect amount of attention. It's an uplifting atmosphere. A great way to start the morning!

Gregory Jenkins

Wow. Just wow. We just had an absolutely elite meal here. It's an unassuming spot, with a casual but cozy ambiance. Great for a date, celebration, or really any time you want a delicious plate of pasta. If they have the mushroom flan, start with that. It was savory, and flavorful. We had the gluten free version, but I'm sure the normal is excellent as well. I was impressed with the range of gluten free options, which is always appreciated for me (celiac). My partner had the crab and shrimp cream sauce with lemon linguini pasta, and she raved about it. I had the same linguini, but with the sausage saffron sauce, and loved it. The dessert menu had a number of decadent sounding options, we settled for thr ugly chocolate cake and the GF tiaramisu. The tiaramisu was so creamy it was almost a pudding - tasty, and melt in your mouth smooth. The ugly chocolate cake (that's what they call it) was lighter than I expected, rich, but kinda airy like a soufflé. Anyway, I can't say enough about this spot. It's a gem. If you want good pasta, this place delivers in spades.

Peppers in my omellet were noticeably fresh. My wife stopped talking with me to eat her gluten-free waffle, for 5 ish minutes all she said was, "It's so good!". And I never got to the bottom of my coffee.

Corey Lyons

A great addition to San Diego’s restaurant and craft brew scene: We went for brunch on their soft opening. Many vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The chicken fried chicken was amazing. The vegetable Benedict was also quite good. Our group also had the vegan breakfast sandwich, the lamb hash and the Kiwi feed (fabulous avocado toast) and nothing disappointed. Menu includes their own craft beer, wine, mimosas, etc. Great ambiance. Family friendly. Don’t miss the rooftop bar.

Heather Richmond

One of my fav gluten free pizzas!

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!

Jolene Theresa

TLDR: celiac friendly My celiac friend and I stopped by to try out their gluten free flatbread and she took half of hers to go which is highly uncommon. Most gf breads are like cardboard or rubbery but this flatbread tasted just like gluten bread! She didn't get sick so there was definitely no gluten in it but whatever it was, it was amazing! I ordered gluten full tortellini which looked and tasted like it was made in house and I was completely satisfied with my meal. We stopped by just as happy hour was ending and our waiter was quick to help us get some happy hour wine orders in before it was too late. The bathroom... it an experience. Like many cities, some locations work within their confines and RoVino got very clever. The restroom is a short walk outside the restaurant which at first seems so strange because they have someone walk you down to it. At the end of the block, tucked away you'll find a very clean little walk to a door with their logo. Type in the code and you enter a 1 stall restroom. It was so random but well done, I'll be talking about that little experience for a while.

Lexy Donaldson

We loved Puesto!! I have a tomato and gluten allergy which is often tough at Mexican restaurants, but our server was super helpful and accommodating! The meal was some of the best Mexican food we’ve had, highly recommend!!

Claudia Aa

I'm gluten intolerant and I really enjoyed the pastries they serve. They have a cool environment. Recommend 100%

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!!!

David Lee

Had the chicken meal. It was alright, but it wasn't anything noteworthy. You won't be impressed, but you also won't be completely let down either. I think this place is probably better for you if you are gluten free or vegan, which is why I have it a 4 star instead of a 3.

Carla Argumedo

gluten free bread

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

Miss Michele

Had a wonderful dinner here this evening. I am gluten free and ordered the gnocchi and my husband had the lamb tagliatelle pasta. Great portion sizes. We ordered a bottle of the Super Tuscan which is luscious! We took what was left with us. We shared the misto salad which they graciously split for us. Our service and food were wonderful. We have been to Italy and this is top notch. Folks Italy is Italy-it’s the terroir of there and cannot be matched but this came pretty darn close! Would defiantly eat here again.

Jessica Vroman

Pleasantly surprised when we picked this place last minute. Food was DELICIOUS (gluten free brisket sandwhich and a burger) and to top it off we didnt know there was a small little outdoor play area for the kiddos!!! Saving this location for the couple times a year we are in the area!!

brooke black

Sophia is such a sweetheart! I have celiac disease and she helped me pick out some gluten free treats. After ringing me up she complimented my necklace and told me to have a great day. Will be back!!

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.

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.

Michelle Pierce

What a cute little place! I'm so glad that I chose this restaurant for my first meal after landing in San Diego. The service was impeccable. It felt like visiting someone's home. Everyone was so genuine and caring. They checked in on me often without being overbearing. And I never felt rushed. My drink and food came out very quickly. And everything was soooo good! While I didn't try the spicy salsa, the other two were very good. I think the red one was my favorite. I was concerned about needing to order a side, but the Arepa was very filling! I love that it was gluten free and vegan but didn't substitute the flavor. This is a great neighborhood spot that I hope stays around for a long time!

Stacy Desmond

Super friendly and accommodating staff! I've been going to the North Park location for over 7 years and am a regular customer. They remember my order every time and greet me warmth and kindness, professionalism and personality. The food is always hot and fresh and they make special dietary substitutions for my vegan- gluten free diet without any problems. This is my home away from home! Maria is the best , and so is the whole staff!

Steph G

Went on Mother's Day for a late lunch. Our waitress was amazing. She did mention the fryer is shared. I got gf brioche French toast and my son got the kids sliders on gf bread toasted. He liked it and hates when he can't have any sort of a bun on a burger. It's very nice and the kids get wiki sticks and they love those.

Malia Faith

Burgers with gluten free fries

Kristina Gatus

I ordered about 25 pizzas for a company lunch and worked with Mona. She was great! Our order was correct, delivery was on time, and none of the pies were burnt or lacking in toppings. I also love that they offer GF pizza since we have one employee with a gluten allergy. We will be ordering again!

Amy Reed

We were seated quickly, no waiting. The food came quick enough. The gluten free waffles are amazing, I added bananas. If you're gluten free def worth a visit. The strawberry crepes and baked apple pancakes were big hits at our table. Service was really great, top notch, highly recommend

Chloe

My husband and I went here on our honeymoon and it turned into one of our favorite breakfast places in San Diego. We recently took a couple family members when we visited and everything was just as amazing as before. Each time we were seated very quickly, service was on point, and the food was beyond fantastic. They also have a gluten free menu and vegan options. Sitting outside on the patio is ideal, but most people are waiting to sit outside so you have a better chance getting a table if you choose to sit inside.
