Top 40 Gluten-Free Restaurants to Explore in South Scottsdale

We do not live in this area but were in the area and in need of a good breakfast that served Gluten Free foods. We had the best skillet meal that included gluten free pancakes that were absolutely wonderful! The biggest surprise was there was no extra charge for the gluten free pancakes or the extra plate. (My husband and I shared the skillet.) We just wish we lived closer so we could enjoy the food at Butters more often.

YES, gluten free delicious!!! Don't skip the loaded peach lemonade. Just don't forget to ask for gluten free if you need it.

Christopher Parrett

They had an incredibly delicious gluten free menu for meals and dessert!

IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.

This place is really cute! They have a gift shop in the lobby, with some eclectic items. The people are super-friendly; and the southern recipes are well prepared. I was, however, kind of disappointed with what I chose, which was the biscuits and gravy. I felt sick to my stomach, afterwards, for hours after, average biscuits were more like the consistency of a pre-packaged, British-style crumpet/scone consistency, plus the gravy tasted really processed with no flavor, OTHER than poor-grade , bulk seasoning mix. My roommate’s selection, though (which she let me try) was good, though, which was a scramble which had spinach, feta cheese and tasted really fresh, and didn’t disappoint in freshness and flavor. If I go back in the future. I’ll be ordering it for brunch! I also got a desert to go from the counter, which was a chocolate peanut butter ganache cupcake that was out of this world! They source their baked goods from small, local vendors in the area, and have many gluten free and vegan options!

Great experience. The restaurant is under construction but it didn’t detract from the experience. Both the managers Eddie and Rachel were fabulous and visited with us. Laura, our waitress kept the sides coming for my gluten free husband. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary lunch!

Deanna Robbins

Love the morning buzz! Super yummy! I did get a gluten free breakfast wrap but the wrap was a bit dry. Still good flavor! Whenever I am in PHX it’s a go to for me.

I have supported Pitch since the day they opened, and I will no longer be doing so. I had a reservation for Saturday night, was seated with my party, and then had to get up 20 minutes later to ask the hostess if we had a server. Another server was approached by the hostess, and he appeared to be reluctant to take our table. He came over to get us drinks while they figured out the server issue, but then stated he would take our table for the night. When ordering our meal, he asked if 2 people in our party wanted the kitchen to split their meal or if they would do it at the table. HOWEVER, he did not mention there would be a $4 upcharge for the kitchen to do so. Then, he told our table to think about dessert because he was going to buy dessert for us given the snafoo. He then clarified that the restaurant would actually be comping the dessert. So when dessert time came, he brought everyone at the table their own dessert menu to order. He took the orders without saying a word. Upon presenting the bill, he then asked if we all ordered dessert because of what he said, to which we replied in the affirmative. He then stated that he could only comp 1 dessert, which left the other people in the party to each pay $11 for a dessert that they each did not even really want but did not want to be rude or disrespectful by declining his original offer. Too boot, there was also a surcharge for using a credit card for payment, which he also failed to relay to our table. My experience with Pitch has been that they charge for every little thing, including a $0.50 salad dressing order change! It's absolutely ridiculous and now getting out of hand. The customer is never told or asked about these additional charges, and over the years, they have just seemed to pile up! Additionally, the quality of the food has significantly declined. The last time I ordered a take out pizza, I had to drive all the way back because it was paper thin, burnt, and hard. The staff suspected they made the pizza with a gluten-free crust instead of the regular crust. The staff also seems to be an issue. It's like a revolving door with new staff with no prior experience. When we were seated, we asked the bus boy for lemons for our water. He proceeded to carry the lemons in his bare hands and then squeeze them into the glasses with his bare hands. Completely unsanitary! Needless to say, Pitch has lost at least 4 loyal customers who reside around the corner. And there will be many more to come once the word gets out in the community.

Fabulous menu and alternatives for gluten free. They can make sandwiches on gluten free bread. Brisket sandwich with chopped salad was so delicious. Others in our party had chicken salad sandwich. Shoestring French fries were delicious. Our server was great. Highly recommend. Plan to go again!

Lara Keller

Gluten free thick crust pizza here has got to be one of the best GF crusts I’ve ever had! Toppings are just right and taste like quality ingredients, price is great for what you’re getting, and it wasn’t greasy. 20 stars!!!

Chris Grace

Had a great meal at Citizen Public. They had a good number of gluten free options and early modified for my dairy issue also. They even split the main course for us. The calamari was terrific. Both our drinks were good and original. The staff and service was outstanding. The dining room is a bit loud; they could add sound deadening.

Arthur Aguilar

Will come again!! Kimberly was amazing with all the help she gave us! Gluten free options, not many places like this! Anytime of the day, this is the right choice if you want good food with good people!

John Halpern

I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

Chelsea Warren

Finding good gluten-free food is the struggle of a lifetime and Crust Simply took all the work out of it. You could could get any of the pizzas and any of the pasta options in gluten free. I did the Chicken Marsala and you honestly couldn't even tell it was GF, it was so good. I loved the ambiance of the patio seating, our server was a ball of delightful, positive energy, and we just really enjoyed the whole vibe.

My fiancé and I happened across Veneto Trattoria the other day and cannot believe we haven't made it here sooner. With one visit this has become my new favorite place to eat. First and foremost our waiter, Will, was phenomenal. It was clear that he takes immense pride in his work. He was attentive without being overbearing. He was well-versed in the menu and throughly answered any questions we had. The food... Incredible. My fiancé said he didn't want to tell me how good it was -- but the bread was delicious (I can't have gluten). He ordered and thoroughly enjoyed the Orecchiette Salsiccia e Broccolini. I ordered the gluten-free version of the Tagliatelle Tirolesi. Oh. My. Goodness. It was divine. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I cannot wait for an excuse to go back! For dessert we finished off with the flourless chocolate cake. I love chocolate and this hit the spot. Very chocolatey but not too sweet. So glad we stumbled upon Veneto Trattoria the other night!!

Our department recently hosted a staff retreat lunch at Fate Brewing Company in Scottsdale, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish! Coordinating for a group of 20+ people can be challenging, but the staff handled everything seamlessly. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that everyone in our group felt taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded expectations, especially given our variety of dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian). It’s not always easy to accommodate such diverse preferences, but Fate Brewing did it with ease and flair. The mocktails were another highlight—they were creative, refreshing, and a perfect complement to the meal. Our team left feeling satisfied, impressed, and grateful for such a great experience. Thank you, Fate Brewing Company, for making our lunch a memorable part of our retreat! Highly recommend this place for group events or just a great meal.

Bill Hourigan

Went with a group (8 total) of friends who had recommended this place for breakfast and WOWZA! Everyone at the table LOVED the food (and drinks) they ordered and we ALL have different tastes. Very accommodating, staff was amazing. It was soul-crushing that I could not finish everything. Would go back in a heartbeat! Try the ricotta gluten free pancakes…life changing.

Aaron Finigan

Very welcoming dog friendly patio. Plenty of gluten free options. Food was delicious.

Susan Madu

The regular food was fabulous, too bad our server made a mistake in not placing our gluten free guest’s order as gluten free (an allergy not a preference). Whilst her meal was removed from our bill, after being offered a complementary meal we did have to ask for her replacement meal to be removed from our bill.

I had the day off and decided to meet up with some friends for brunch with my little one! This restaurant is located in the back of the mall, near Nobu and Francine. They have such a nice patio area, which would be great for the cooler months. Inside, there were plenty of seating options. They gave our table a high chair and took our order. We had really great service for our meal and she was very attentive. I ordered the crispy eggs with prosciutto, which came with bread and a bed of arugula. This was really good, and I feel like a pretty good value for prosciutto ($18.) I also ordered their gluten-free blueberry banana bread for my son. It was nice that the bread was not overly sweet, as most banana breads can be. This was a nice location for our little catch-up, and we would love to come again to enjoy their outdoor seating.

Kat Parks

I order from here roughly once a week to two weeks because I love the food. They're also the only place nearby that does a great gluten free pizza. And the Ziggy Fries. Oh my god, the Ziggy Fries. I ask for extra crispy extra garlic and they DELIVER. It was absolutely wasted with garlic yesterday. I consumed it all. Amazing 10/10.

Samantha DeMaio

So excited to have an excellent new restaurant in the area! Service was 10/10 and the food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend the Bistro Steak and cheeseburger. If you’re gluten free you NEED to come here as a large majority of their menu is gluten free friendly. We will be back again soon!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie’s restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the sophisticated décor and the expansive, open layout. The space is thoughtfully designed with cozy booths lining the exterior and high-top tables filling the central area, creating an atmosphere that’s both inviting and chic. The menu at Moxie’s is a culinary feast for both the eyes and the palate. Every dish is artfully presented, and the flavors are nothing short of exceptional. I had the opportunity to try two outstanding items: • FARMERS HASH: This hearty dish combines pancetta bacon, jalapeño pork sausage, roasted vegetables, and pickled onions, all topped with perfectly poached eggs, home fries, and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. The medley of flavors and textures made every bite delightful. • TUNA SUSHI STACK: A visually stunning dish featuring sushi-grade tuna stacked with seasoned rice, avocado, mango, and complemented by a soy ginger glaze and spicy mayo. Served alongside seasoned prawn crackers, it was a refreshing and flavorful treat. The service was equally impressive. Our server was not only attentive and knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and helpful, enhancing our overall dining experience. The staff’s professionalism and warmth made us feel well-cared-for throughout our meal. Overall, Moxie’s hit it out of the park in all areas. From the elegant ambiance to the exquisite cuisine and excellent service, it’s a restaurant that delivers on all fronts. Additional Information: • Ambiance: Perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. • Location: Conveniently situated in Scottsdale with ample parking options nearby. • Reservations: Recommended during peak hours to ensure a seamless dining experience. • Menu Variety: Offers a diverse selection catering to various tastes, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you’re in Scottsdale and looking for a memorable dining experience, Moxie’s is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

Such a neighborhood gem! Bob was a great waiter. Food was incredible! Gluten free options available, so refreshing!

LeslieAnn Haacke

Went here for Arizona Restaurant Week with friends. Great food and service. We were very impressed! My friend is both gluten and dairy free and Joseph, our server was very knowledgeable and the chef most accommodating to make appropriate adjustments. We would highly recommend and will be going back.

Giselle M. Aguiar

I was there for the Local First AZ lunch and was happy to see a gluten-free menu. Being gluten-free, I'm usually stuck with salads but I was able to enjoy the turkey club sandwich! I'll be back!

Jon B

The wings here are so good and we really enjoy the gluten free options that they have. There was also trivia that we played which was fun too.

Marlyn Fuller

Love 1st watch 😆 being gluten I can safely enjoy my food. They were empty, surprisingly because back home it's super busy ... Either way try their ice coffee! It's delicious 🤤

Ruby Fink

Loved that they have gluten free buns on the menu!! I've loved that place growing up and I'm glad I can eat there again 😁 the turkey burgers and fries are awesome too 😁

Joey “Jojokat” Katone

Came in for dinner with my hubby and 3 kids, Feliciano took my order and was super diligent to make sure my allergy ( gluten) was address. I felt super safe eating there. The manger came over ( Wayne) and double checked everything to make sure we got the best deal! Which was kids eat free!!! Thank you. Top notch service! Excellent food! Clean restaurant! Hit all the points.

This vegan food truck is run by the owners of BEG Bakery and they sell food on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The food truck is parked in the BEG parking lot and they usually have a couple of other food trucks there on the weekends. You can order the food inside the bakery and eat there if you don't want to take it to go. The chik'n parm sandwich is fantastic. It comes on a garlic bread twisted roll or a hoagie. You get a choice of the chik'n parm or eggplant parm and you also get pasta salad and a brownie all for only $20. They also gave us a free drink and a sample of their delicious oat milk ice cream. They will be adding more savory options soon as well as a gluten free option. Make sure you pick up some delicious Cupcakes, Brownies, Cinnamon Rolls, Muffins, Ice Cream and thick Shakes after dinner or to take home. I travel all the way from from Peoria to eat at P.A.R.M Italia and BEG Bakery. The owners and employees are the sweetest people!

Natalie R

Had dinner here with my husband and it was great! The house is cozy and quaint and ambience is excellent. Music was perfect and food was delicious! The cocktails and wine list were on point. The staff was very attentive and accommodating to a gluten allergy. Highly recommend for a date night. We will be back.

Ed Mendelson

Great food and service, alot of gluten free choices

Jim Leahy

Chose this because it came up under ‘gluten free’, yet really not many options on the menu.

Elena Grant

Great meal on Wednesday evening and yummy margaritas! Good service too. I had the salmon served on a bed of chopped Brussels sprouts with bacon. Staff was knowledgeable on handling a gluten allergy as well. No issues and food was delicious. So sad I forgot to take a picture.

Melanie Spence

Super tasty and cute vibe! Fun drinks and tasty food! Got the gluten free crab pasha and it did not disappointment. Staff was informative about allergens.

Lindsay Walsh

Great gluten free options including breakfast sandwiches 🥪

Jackson R

This place got me going crazy for those WINGS. I have a wheat allergy and was informed that their golden wings are not gluten free, although their buffalo wings are. Im not sure if the buffalo wings are put in the fryer, so if you have celiacs I’d recommend the zipparitas, the limit is 3, and they have a few different flavors and they’re all tasty.

Libby F

Ok but WAY over priced. We got 2 meals, 1 appetizer & 1 beer and without tip our bill was $73. They charge extra for a few corn shells for the fajitas (I'm gluten free) and for a second basket of chips for our party of 4. Won't be going back.
