Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across Pittsburgh

Amanda Hudgins

As someone with gluten intolerance, I am always on the lookout and I really, really love this place. The arepas were incredible.

Janine Cannon

Lovely food! The staff is helpful (I have celiac and am vegan). I got the Susana and some yucca fries. They have regular OR vegan cilantro sauce and it’s all amazing! So happy we found this place! My partner got a chicken taco and wants to come back in our way out of town back home. Great food!

Dan Guerrini

Went to Fat Head's for dinner and the GF Codfather didn’t disappoint, even threw in a gluten free Ghostfish Brewing Company beer. I can’t tell you the last time my wife had either of those out! She has celiac and is super sensitive and didn’t have any side effects, even today!!

Max Little

Great for vegans and people with gluten allergies. And everyone else.

Bonnie Burns

I have celiac disease, and went here for dinner. The staff is well trained, and they offer a gluten free menu. They have a dedicated fryer for fries and have gluten free buns available. I highly recommend this place and it’s absolutely delicious!! I didn’t feel sick at all afterwards, which is such a relief when traveling.

Jessica Lewis

This Mission BBQ is the best one I’ve ever been too. It’s super easy to eat gluten free here because I have Celiac. The employees are very happy. The service is impeccable. I always love coming to this location (I’ve been to over 20 locations).

Riley Nolan

My server Jake and Katie were the absolute BEST. Jake gave us his best wine and food pairings and made special accommodations for my gluten allergy! They were so personable and helpful they made my experience here one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. 12/10 WOULD recommend.

Helen Kish

I love Aladdin’s. They have so many gluten free, vegetarian, and vegetarian options. The waitress was very accommodating to my gluten allergy and the baba ganoush was so good. The feel is family owned and local!

Jordan Clark

Rhian was a great waitress! My family eats gluten free, and she communicated with the kitchen and us to make sure that our food was safe.

M J

Really loved this place! The staff is very kind, the food is delicious and has great portions. I'm gluten free and they had a dedicated gluten free menu! I highly recommend the bean dip and the half jerk chicken!

Kristian B

This place was great! It’s in a beautiful building, the staff were so nice, and the food was excellent. Found this on my gluten free app when looking for a safe option for breakfast and I’m glad we chose this place. I recommend making reservations online. Was happy to support this family owned operation.

Jenn Floodstrom

We had a great breakfast, and the gluten free options were appreciated!

Kevin Mott

Great and safe selection for celiac disease (gluten free), and very tasty

If you're on a quest for a healthier lifestyle, Orange Avocado Juicery is your ultimate destination. Nestled in the heart of Squirrel Hill, this hidden gem is entirely vegan and gluten-free, offering a haven for clean eaters and anyone with dietary preferences that go beyond the norm. From the moment you walk in, it's clear this place is more than just a juice shop. They offer a wide variety of cold-pressed bottled juices, made-to-order smoothies and bowls, and even guilt-free desserts. The best part? Everything is so incredibly delicious, you’d never guess it's all vegan and gluten-free. I had the chance to sample a few things, and honestly – everything blew me away. Let’s start with the PB Blueberry Smoothie – a dreamy combo of bananas, blueberries, peanut butter, vanilla protein, and almond milk. No ice, just fresh ingredients blended into smooth, creamy perfection. Then came dessert – the vegan peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. Absolutely insane. So rich and flavorful, you won’t miss the dairy one bit. I also grabbed a couple of juices and a wellness shot to-go. The Immunity Shot (carrot, orange, lemon, ginger, turmeric, black pepper) was surprisingly tasty – the fruit flavors shine, and the black pepper is barely noticeable. As for the juices, I tried the Go Green (kale, cucumber, apple, lemon) and Bright Eyes (orange, carrot, ginger) – both were super fresh and vibrant. They’ve also got cookies and grab-and-go options, perfect if you're in a rush but still want something nourishing. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just someone who enjoys clean, flavorful food, Orange Avocado Juicery hits the mark. It’s the kind of place where health-conscious meets flavor-forward – and you’ll leave feeling good in every way. Highly recommend!

Shawn Shimkets

Very nice, clean space. Indoor/outdoor. Friendly staff, great food, wide selection of gluten free items clearly marked on the menu. Best thai restaurant I’ve been to in the burgh.

Janis McKinney

The food was very good, as it always is. I don't eat from the buffet because I like the flavors of Indian food but I cannot have spicy (I have GI issues), so I order from the menu at a level 1 heat. They seemed offended that I wanted to order from the menu. I don't know why, it's definitely more expensive than the buffet. My son and his wife ordered the buffet. I also brought wine because they have a very limited wine menu. When they first installed the bar years ago they would still let you bring your own wine for the corkage fee. That is no more and they seemed offended that I asked. I honestly didn't know their policy had changed. So, that was fine, I left my wine in the bag I ordered wine from their menu. After my dinner came out I asked for some raita. That was met with what I would characterize as distain. Finally, since it was my son's birthday and his wife has gluten sensitivities I had brought some french macarons and one small birthday candle so that we could quietly sing. His wife and I literally whisper sang because we were becoming increasingly aware that the staff were giving us the side eye. After that I asked for a check and some boxes for my leftovers (again, NOT FROM THE BUFFET) and they seemed taken aback. But I had ordered the lamb tikka masala, and a garlic nan, and a vegetable korma all from the menu. It was a lot of food and I wasn't about to throw it all away. Food was still amazing but by the time I paid the check we felt very uncomfortable being there. My son said he felt like everyone was staring at us. I have been going to this restaurant for decades and have never been made to feel uncomfortable until last night. It's a shame that the service has changed so might that we didn't feel welcome. And it's not like the place was packed. We went at 7:00 and there were several open tables throughout the seating area. Not sure what was going on that evening but I'll have to think twice about going back. Also, they now provide Styrofoam for leftovers, not the foil containers they used to use. That is like a throw back in time. Fast food places don't even use Styrofoam any more. The service has certainly changed since the new ownership. For shame.

First time here and I was pleasantly surprised. It's quite large with many tables. The place is old. Service was good and no nonsense. Food was better than I expected. The fried zucchini were light, the pretzels weren't the best I've had but were ok. I got a gluten free pizza that maybe was frozen? I got excited about it and thought it was made with a kind of flour with no gluten but I don't think that's the case. Nonetheless the toppings were very good. The pasta D'Angelo was a bit plain but the gnocchi were very good. Portions are large. The Manhattan was ok although quite strong. We went on a Saturday evening, with reservation, and it was probably at half capacity. Parking is always available since the restaurant is in a plaza. It's not a place where I'd have a romantic date but more of a family gathering. Overall a solid,. reliable 3 stars.

Ayako Walker

There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices available, and they are absolutely delicious!

Kiki B

Amazing as a gluten allergic person to be able to eat biscuits again. I don't know how many years it's been since I've had some. Obviously, with it being gluten-free, it is a little dry, but I still enjoyed it. I've heard the real biscuits are amazing. The hot chocolate did not disappoint, but the home fries did 🫤 Prepare for long lines and hungry customers that will cut in line like they don't have manners.

Madeline Rigatti

Amazing sushi. I have celiac and they always are cautious about cross contamination and I’ve never gotten sick.

Jenifer Morris

I love Luke Wholey's! The food is excellent, the staff is always friendly! This has become my family's "go-to" place for celebrations! If you go, you have to try the "Captain Crunch Roll", it is fabulous! We have someone in our group who has to eat gluten-free and Luke Wholey's has several options on their menu for her!

Maja Milojkovic

Love the gluten free options!

Pigsburgh Squealers

Tons of gluten free options (including the best gf bread in Pittsburgh), really tasty food, and the staff leaves me the cutest drawings on my orders. It's pricey but sometimes i need a treat haha.

Sam H

This was our second time visiting this restaurant and each time is 5 stars all around. Our server was Poncho and he was so friendly and knowledgable. I have celiac disease so I must eat gluten free and he knew everything about what I could and could not eat. 10/10 recommend, and will be visiting again the next time we are in Pittsburgh.

Arah Katz

We had Mike and he was fabulous! He was very familiar with gluten-free options, gave us opinions on “fan favorites”. He was soooooo good…fast, attentive and gave great recommendations!!

mc_vln

My wife enjoyed the gnocchi bread bowl however their gluten free pasta options were not the best. Place was packed, so service was a bit slow

Frazier Kurten

I adore this place. Fire side tables, easy eats thst please a crowd and picky eaters. Fun staff who are friendly and vegan/gluten free options too. Def try the potato taco. Only thing I'd like to see them do is start serving horchata and Agua frescas!

Tor Cedervall

I’ll preface by saying I have a severe gluten intolerance, and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. They cleaned all the equipment and changed their gloves before making my order, which put my mind at ease. I ordered the savory classic crepe with buckwheat, I believe someone else posted a photo of it already. Wow, it tastes amazing and fills you up but not in a bad way. The fresh salad is a breakfast addition as well. The coffee, lattes and cappuccinos are also very well made. The atmosphere is very relaxing, nice decor, and the shop is well kept and clean. Definitely give Mel’s a try when you’re in the Burgh!

Morgan Ungerleider

Samantha was our server and she was super attentive, knowledgeable about gluten free items on the menu and very friendly and personable :)

Gionna Thomas

Was great food! This was the first fast food restaurant since finding out I was allergic to gluten actually have accommodations for me. Didnt think I could ever eat normally somewhere again and I felt normal. Wonderful staff very nice and kind. Only thing I would say is go during an odd hour we had to circle the parking lot 3 times for a spot lol

August Schutte

The chips and fundido was very tasty. The taquitos and tacos carnitas and barbacoa hit the spot. Was a very tasty and gluten free meal! Quinn was great at answering questions and finding out information about what was safe to eat. Thanks, my dude!

Graeme Rock

Gluten-free crust that is ACTUALLY GOOD. And perfectly crispy too.

Michaela Pershe, Doula

I have loved this spot for years. They always have a vegan and gluten free option which I appreciate. The decor is funky- modern Victorian. And I LOVE that they are open late. I’ve popped in here many nights in between night class and overnight work shifts to enjoy a drink and just relax.

Anthony Pugliese

Great for lunch or dinner. Not only offers fantastic foods but also unique twists on classic cocktails. They also cater to those with dietary restrictions, such as gluten free options, including cauliflower crust pizza.

Rachael Barnhart

Gluten free pizza is really good. I love when the pepperoni curls 👍

Elaine Baptiste

The service is great! Very friendly and efficient staff. I ordered a Famous Philly Cheesesteak with the gluten free roll and it was DELICIOUS! definitely will be coming back soon.

Sofia Ines

Amazing server, Sofia Osborne. Very knowledgeable and delicious food! Don’t miss out on the added cheese to the tacos—what an epic culinary adventure. Gluten-free friendly!

Lynda Hutchison

All around an excellent experience. We were welcomed at the front door and seated at the requested location in less than 2 minutes. Everything on the gluten free menu sounded delicious. I went with the balsamic salmon and green beans. The meal was perfect!

Jodi Lutz

Love this pizzeria in Pittsburgh! Has great pizza and a terrific gluten free pizza too!

Caroline Nicole

Bubble Tea & Honey Garlic Tofu were amazing. Great with Gluten Free stuff.

Sandra Pieloch

Great food great service great atmosphere! If you’re looking for a delicious place to eat in Pittsburgh this is the place for you! Would recommend the Classic ( Eggs in your preferred style, choice of protein, and four pieces of toast on your preferred bread ) it was delicious! Pretty gluten friendly they offered a substitute of a fruit bowl instead of bread ( good job on that )!!! Was a little bit of a wait but for a busy Saturday morning wasn’t actually that long and TOTALLY worth it. The Women’s bathroom was nice if you are the kind of person who cares about that kind of stuff! Really cheap too, it came out to $50 for three people! The Rueben All My Life was great! So was the I Am Kazaam! Overall this restaurant was super great and I would come back here again if we happened to be in the neighborhood! Fun fact: The Speckled Egg is in the same building as Fred Roger’s Productions!

Bunny

They have Gluten-free ♥

Emily Potucek

Thai burrito with shrimp was great. All but one item on the menu can be prepared gluten free. All of the staff was proactive and well informed.

Justin “Moe” Michel

Just stopped up for a quick bite to eat. Service was good. For some reason all of our cups leaked but no biggie. The girl at the counter gave us new ones. My wife had ordered a cheeseburger with a side of mayo and with a gluten allergy so in a bowl. When we got it it had BBQ sauce on it. The guys behind the counter were great. Hooked us up with a new one in no time and extremely nice about all of it. Props to those employees up there tonight. Thanks guys.

M. Davis

This restaurant is a treasure! Located in the burgeoning and diverse Pittsburgh neighborhood of Garfield, the buffet, from 1130am to 230pm M-S, is not to be missed. People’s is a small venue with no waiting area and today we arrived at 145pm to find every table filled. The wait was worth every minute! There are both vegan and meat-based options, mostly gluten free. The bread was incredible and nothing was too spicy, just delicious and perfectly seasoned. Dessert and coffee is included and large bottles of water are provided on each table. The tables are very close together but both customers and staff are friendly and polite. Every visit to Pittsburgh will now include People’s!

Shea Martin

Great modern, healthy, restaurant. I loved all the gluten free options and enjoyed the Greek warm bowl with salmon. I also had the kale and apple smoothie, it tasted like it sounds. There wasn’t a lot of sugar or additives to hide the flavor. I still enjoyed the smoothie but it’s not for everyone, it definitely grossed out my husband and toddlers. This may cost a bit more than some similar restaurants but I think it’s worth it for good quality, well made, Whole Foods- which they did an excellent job of providing.

Talia K

So good. Leo was super friendly and provided great service. He explained that the arepas are made fresh every day. And bonus for us, gluten free without any modifications. We are planning on coming back very soon to try more of the menu.

Hannah Becker

Excellent food and staff! Totally understood celiac, knew what was safe on the menu (lots of naturally GF meals and some modified). When they brought out my meal, they said that it was safe for celiacs. Amazing!

Grace Norris

tamyra was super great about making sure my friend didn’t get gluten cross contamination

Rob 61J

They either have gluten free buns and it's not selectable in the app as an option, or it's selectable as an option and they don't have it in store lol. Very little meat on their sandwiches and the location is filthy. Worst location in the franchise, avoid.
