Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across Central City, Phoenix

Lisa Child

The gluten free pitas were absolutely delicious!!

Carly

Delicious gluten free pizza and pasta! Though they used to use their gluten free pizza dough as bread and our waitress told us they don’t do that anymore, which is really disappointing

Martin Carrazco

This is the Pei Wei location that I've had an awesome experience. I've dinner in and enjoyed both the food and service. I've also ordered online and noticed that they have a #GF #GlutenFree section. It was awesome because we had no problem with gluten since I was a bit skeptical about the results.

Laura Manning

Highly recommend this place for their food and for all the gluten free options! 95% of the menu is gluten free, our server was really knowledgeable about Celiac, and was really accommodating. 5 star food!

Adam Miller

This place is really chill and offers great food and service. The pancakes are amazing and come with real maple syrup. The Denver Omelette hit the spot and they had plenty of gluten free options.

My family and I had previously dined here and had a different experience this time. I ordered the gluten free Fettuccine Alfredo and added shrimp. The previous time the shrimp was added to my dish. This time I was given boiled shrimp on the side. The pasta had what would equal to 2 tablespoons of Alfredo Sauce at the bottom of my noodles. It tasted like I was eating plain noodles. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she brought out Alfredo sauce in a very small dish. It still wasn't enough. We had to request the bread because it wasn't brought out to us and we had to ask for refills. Each time the waitress brought out something to us, she was clearly annoyed. We thanked her, yet she would not respond. The host and the manager(?) were very friendly and greeted us when we arrived and thanked us for coming in.

Sunday night birthday party of 6. Had a reservation and were seated immediately. Sat in an oversized booth that held six people nicely. However, the padded bench on the side I was seated on had an issue. The springs underneath my butt were busted. I sat in a hole for the entire evening and left with a backache. The concrete brick wall behind us was avoid of any art. All our birthday pics look like we took them from a jail cell. Our waitress was very good at her job. She took care of us well. They have a great selection of whiskey. However many were sold out. Ordered a charcuterie app which was missing the bacon wrapped dates. Food was sold out as well. Some of us had to order our second choices due to this reason. My wings were tossed in a very strange, burned sauce. Each bite left a nasty burned taste in my mouth. Others at the table agreed. It was just disappointing. Also be aware there are no gluten free desserts here. Kinda sad since we had a person in our party with gluten issues. Guess we should have doubled checked their menu before making the reservation. We saw gf meals and made the reservation. Should have glanced at the desserts, since it was the birthday guest who had gf issues and no gf dessert. :( Also we overstayed our parking validation. So even though we had our parking ticket validated by the nice server, we stayed 25 mins longer than allowed. Ended up paying for parking as well even with it being validated.

Everything was amazing and I highly recommend if you are in downtown Phoenix. They have great gluten free options as well!

Prescott Lederer

Very tasty food with carnivorous, gluten free and vegan options. I had chicken sopes which were excellent and authentic, and their spicy red salsa was soooo good! Cute restaurant inside and they have a small amount of patio seating. The employees were cheerful and friendly. Will definitely be back!

⸻ Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers – 7th Ave + Chase Field Locations Food Allergy Alert – READ BEFORE YOU GO If you have food allergies or care about someone who does, do not eat here. I’m speaking from real experience—not just as a disappointed customer, but as someone who literally had a mild anaphylactic reaction at one of their locations and watched them handle it with gross negligence. Let me explain: CHASE FIELD (Super Bowl time) – I came in at 16 with a friend. I had a bite of food and my mouth started tingling, and my throat began closing up. I immediately told the waitress. Instead of calling for help or checking the food, they came back with a paper stating I “consented” to eating the food and wouldn’t sue them. I was a minor, and I looked like a minor. They knew what they were doing—covering themselves legally instead of doing the right thing. It was cold, dismissive, and honestly horrifying. And as for the beer? Let me paint the scene: it was the Super Bowl. The place should’ve been electric. But when I walked into the Chase Field location, not one group of men smiled when their beers hit the table. Not one. Faces went sour and dark. That moment said everything. The beer was warm, flat, and honestly—embarrassing for a place that has “Cold Beers” in the name. 7TH AVE LOCATION (March 24, 2025 at 3:00 PM) – I called to ask about allergens and the staff didn’t even know what an allergen warning was. Not an exaggeration. They were confused by the term. This chain is actively ignoring basic food safety standards that could literally cost people their lives. I checked their entire website after the call. There is no allergen menu, no clear breakdown, and no proper disclosures. Just vague mentions of “gluten-friendly” with no depth. There’s zero transparency or education across the board, and that’s terrifying. This chain is massively negligent, both ethically and operationally. I have officially filed a report with Linda at the Health Services Department to address this growing pattern of negligence. I strongly urge others to speak up before someone gets seriously hurt—or worse. ⸻

TNT Hair

This place is awesome! The food is always on point and they have the best gluten free enchiladas I have tasted. I highly recommend it and it is definitely one of our favorite restaurants to frequent here in the valley.

Brianna Gugin

My fav ice cream shop! They have amazing weekly flavors and nondairy and gluten free options!

Jewel

As someone who eats gluten-free, dairy-free foods due to sensitivities and allergies, the customer service was excellent for ensuring that precautions were made. Not only that, but they basically had the best tamales I’ve ever had.

Lee V

First and foremost, I have the acknowledge the manager there named Robert F. My girlfriend has both dairy and gluten allergies and he was so precise and thorough, continually checking to make sure what she ordered didn't contain those allergens. I truly appreciated him going way above and beyond. Both my girl and I were extremely thankful for his phenomenal service. Thank you, truly! 🙏

Ryan Rabish

Harumi has become one of my mom and I’s absolute favorite spots! Had an amazing time again last night 10/9/24 before a concert downtown with Markel as our server. The service is fantastic across the board while Markel is extra on top of everything. He helps a lot with me having celiac disease and needing to be gluten free. And he made mom’s night by being so thoughtful. Can’t wait to come back for the food, central location, ambiance and hospitality! Keep up the great work.

Ali Rode

Beware if you are celiac, although this restaurant offers a gluten free bun they cross contact with regular buns and the burgers. They are not celiac safe.

Marty Johnson

Stopped in on a quick trip to Phoenix and was so impressed. The best shrimp pad Thai I’ve ever had! Highly recommended. And they’re super gluten-free accommodating.

Rowan Mary

Great milkshakes and bowls! Every time I'm downtown I grab something from there. They have a lactose free option, and mark everything that's gluten free as such.

Deborah Halter

Excellent service and great food!! Gluten free options as well that were good! It stays pretty crowded but it is worth it! Enjoy!

Louise Voelker

Lori Dierinzo

We stopped by before catching the Green Day concert and we were so pleasantly surprised. I'm celiac and had heard Carcara had a nice GF selection and were caring and attentive regarding cross contamination and they did not disappoint. My drink was a very generous pour and the piece of chicken on my salad was seasoned to perfection and very large. The atmosphere is so chill and lovely. Maybe a bit pricey BUT the portions are generous, and the service and atmosphere are superb.

Ben Sigal

We went here for our anniversary and could have been happier. The flavors were truly unique, and they had some of the most unique cocktails we’ve ever experienced. Also, the molè was amazing; so much so my wife who is typically no fan of molè, was happily eating it as we enjoyed our meal. The yucca frites and marrow were to die for! Excellent gluten free options. We will definitely be back!

Lauryn

Highly highly recommend. Food was good, they have gluten free options. And coffee was delicious. We got the flight and I even got one more to go it was so good. Super cute spot.

Hannah Taylor

They very clearly label what is, and is not gluten free. It was very easy to find meals that way.

B Gilbert

Incredible espresso pull if you’re a purist. Proper my served with sparkling water. Better than your average Main Street shop. Could use more seating. Gluten free pastry option.

Lawanda Fischer

Mary Fisher

Great service from Kenneth! Also, really good gluten free French fries!

Veronica Hernandez

GREAT date night place. Atmosphere, venue, service - all high-quality. Unfortunately, they did not have many gluten free options so we ended up just having drinks - so I cannot speak to their food quality but the small menu did seem to consist of some decent choices for those without dietary restrictions. The drinks were well-prepared and hit the spot perfectly!

Karen Joy Reill

The vibe of this place is so fun and truly welcoming. We ate indoors, but the outdoor space is charming, especially when days or evenings are cool. Service was perfect -- not overbearing but not neglectful. Prices are good considering that portion sizes are HUGE. I have to eat gluten-free and while there aren't a ton of options, the ones that exist are good. I got roasted Brussels sprouts as an app to share with two others -- we had plenty. I also got pulled pork fries. I do wish there was a tiny bit more pork, but the flavor was outstanding and, again, portion size was huge. I ate about 2/3 and my son polished off the rest. I also had an Old Fashioned which was OK-only. Square ice cube, but it was cloudy and while I don't like my drinks sweet, this one wasn't sweet enough. Still, that wasn't enough to make me regret my experience. I don't live in Phoenix (I used to) but I have family there and I will definitely return to the Welcome Diner.

Lisa Morgan

We stopped in on our trip to Phoenix.The food was amazing we ordered the garlic monkey bread and gluten free pizza.botuvwere so good . Ray loved the beer also .Our server Airea was awesome so nice and helpful.... We met the owner he was so great also ..thank you for a great experience This is on our list of places to go ....

Lee Miller

The drip coffee and gluten free breakfast cookie I had today were both amazing!

Emily Guile

Good for what it is! Popped in for a quick lunch. Servers were friendly and kind. Food arrived fast. Really wish they offered a gluten free bread/bun option but the "Adam & Eve" treatment for the burger wasn't bad (enough lettuce for a salad!). The burger was tasty and the lemonade did not disappoint. Next time I'm going for the chips and deviled eggs!

George Pelton

Madison Wood

Went here on a whim our last night in Phoenix and we were very pleasantly surprised. We were seated at a cozy intimate table. Cindy was an incredible waitress who went above and beyond to ensure my meal was safe and enjoyable (I have celiac disease) and kept the delicious corn tortillas coming! The Queso Fundido, Halibut Ceviche and Chile Relleno were fresh and delicious.

Pam Dorey

This place is awesome, my mom had to much fun playing pinball the atmosphere was great. Gluten free pizza topped it all off

A Roberts

Great food (Mac and cheese and tomato soup), nice patio, and gluten-free friendly. There are a few GF entree options and there were two GF pastries (brownie and strawberry cake) when I was there. Just wanted to clarify since a previous review said nothing was GF, they may have been referring to the pastry case.

Natalie Silverstein

Favorite salad place in the valley. Gluten-free options + you can add rice to it (grain bowl) to make it more filling if you're not a big salad person. Love all of the premium toppings too! The edamame, avocado, egg, etc. make it even better.

Michelle Wendt

I ate here 3 times on a recent weekend trip. I appreciated how the dishes were spiced upon request because I don't like spicy. I'm gluten free and there were many options on the menu. Highly recommend!

Marlene Connor

Great food, large portions, gluten-free pancakes. Best staff ever

D. Francis

Gluten-free, one the best places to eat at the airport for breakfast, plan on standing in line for a bit, but worth the wait. My server was helpful and did her best for being short staffed.

Katya Sehryn

Excellent service. Good atmosphere. I had the mushroom burger. It had has layers of umami-goodness from the sauteed mushrooms (which had a nice hint of thyme), to the saucey blue cheese crumbles, and the solid beef patty. The beer battered fries were great - best without ketchup. Need a gluten-free bun? They got you. Usually, I would ask for a lettuce wrap. But today I felt inclined to have a burger that felt more traditional. The bun was soft and fresh. Can't wait to go back!

Our server, Monica, made my birthday dinner the BEST experience I’ve ever had. I so DIDNT believe the Compass was a revolving restaurant, but it is and it’s so COOL! I booked for 6pm so we could watch the sunset as we dine together in celebration of myself. The atmosphere was amazing, so sophisticated. I ordered the Yes Chef, with each dish they brought out for the four course meal, I said YESS CHEF because it was absolutely delicious. From the presentation of the FRESH oysters, the salad topped with gluten free sweet potato chips, the WONDERFULLY TASTY scallops, and the TWO Deserts!!!! Monica truly treated us!!! She listened to our needs, helped us with describing certain drinks and ingredients in the meals. Aaaandd brought out an amazing birthday desert that tasted like a peach cobbler that was just broken down with the edible “Happy Birthday” chocolate. The HUGE macaroon that was airy, light, fluffy and delicious. Lastly, before we left, Monica gifted us The Compass chocolates. At first I thought she was proposing to me because the chocolates were in a little black box, but to my surprise it wasn’t a ring (though I would’ve said yes lol) it was the most delicious chocolates I’ve ever tasted. Salty, toffee, sweet and savory all in one bite. The Compass experience is truly one of a kind, I recommend for ANYBODY. You deserve to treat yourself every once in a while and ESPECIALLY on your birthday. Cheers to more life!! Thank you again to the Compass team.

Hello Celiac friends :) . This is one of the gems that you literally find and go and enjoy which me and my family did. We went on a Monday, let me tell you about their waffles they are gluten free. I messaged the owner on Instagram and he confirmed that they are gluten-free and that they're cast never seen gluten 😭😀😀 they were delicious. If you have a dairy allergy they have two other options which is a matcha and a regular waffle which are also delicious. My sisters that are not celiac tried their chicken panini and they said it was delicious. We also tried the Sicilian dragon lemonade which was very yummy. So if you're in 7th Street in Phoenix pay them a visit, The atmosphere is quite nice and they have outdoor seating with pets allowed :)

Ryan Lawrence

Perfect fried chicken place. Bonus- I heard the batter is gluten free! No notes🪶🌽

Sandra Jackson

Honestly, this was a little slice of heaven on a crazy day. The food was incredible. Well-balanced flavors that were luxurious and comforting. I have a serious gluten allergy, and the kitchen manager personally took the time to discuss food options and then alerted his staff of my situation. My waiter was also delightful and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone, especially because the prices are extremely reasonable.

Coco Nicole Estef

You guys have to check out this vegan place! They also have gluten free options and their food is beyond perfection!!

Veronica Hernandez

Definitely recommend the upstairs lounge on a Friday night for a romantic evening out with live jazz music. ❤️ 🎶 Service, ambiance, music, vibes: alll GREAT. Food: Good. We tried the octopus appetizer, lobster risotto, wine, cocktails, and espressos at the end. Server and kitchen were very accommodating and knowledgeable of gluten-free options. Seating: Grab some stools at the full-service bar for a last minute decision to stop by. Or plan ahead and reserve a table. The band is set-up near the balcony, in case you want to request a table closer to the music. Dress: Upscale casual. There were some beautiful dresses worn and smart slacks. Didn't see anyone in shorts and flip-flops.

Love that they offer Gluten free , cauliflower crust pizza and even Dairy free vegan cheese ! Delicious!

Alexis Baker

I haven’t had Insomnia Cookies since undergrad so this was a trip down memory lane. It instantly smells like fresh cookies when you walk in which is incredible. The menu is the same as what I remembered it being from years ago. With that I wish there were more Gluten free and dairy free options. As someone who tries to be GF and DF there wasn’t one option that offered both. I decided to go with the GF chocolate Chip cookie. It was delicious and gooey, one of the better GF cookies I’ve had; again just wish it was also DF.
