Great experience! I have celiac disease and have eating here multiple times without any concern. The wraps are huge and flavorful!!

Mackenzie C

They are careful with allergies and have lots of gluten free options or can accommodate for changes.

April Perkins

A bright and vibrant restaurant offering fresh, healthy, and flavorful dishes with options for every diet, from vegan to gluten-free. Its cheerful atmosphere and commitment to wholesome ingredients make it a go-to spot for a quick, guilt-free meal.

I got their gluten free/vegan brownies. It was literally so delicious I ate it all before I got a photo!

Amber Petrig

Hands down, one of the *best* gluten-free crusts I have ever had. It's thin, crispy, and holds together beautifully, which is fortunate seeing as this place does not skimp on toppings. The sauce is well made and seasoned. This is not a sit-down restaurant, but it is 100% worth finding parking.

Amber Foote

My group had an absolute blast. Our main server was Sam and he was amazing. All of the other waiters and watresses were checking on us, making sure everything was good. Our water glasses were never left empty. The food was amazing. We even had a person in our group with celiac, but it wasn't a struggle bc their sauces are gluten free and they have gluten-free noodles to substitute. We had a birthday in our group, and the staff gave her a birthday card and signed their names, which was so sweet and awesome. We had a great time and will be returning the next time we're in Newport Beach.

I know this is a pizza place but their chicken nuggets are sooo good tooo! I have friends who love the pizza and one of my friends are gluten free are able to especially enjoy it because they can make a pizza with gluten free crust and he never gotten a bad reaction from it. The people at the cashier are also very friendly and are very knowledgeable about what is good on the menu. Overall great experience!

Wendy Smith

I’m a gluten free diner, and our server Yazzie was fabulous in finding out answers to a couple questions.

Yasir Billoo

We loved the haute cakes (pancakes) and waffle. I had the gluten free oatmeal and blueberry haute cakes. They were fluffy and delicious. Coffee was excellent too.

Calhan “Player1” Moses

Realy good food the crepe was huge my mother thoroughly enjoyed it. The gluten free Belgium waffles were amazing! celiac friendly.

Tonight was our first time here and WOW, it will definitely be a consistent date night dinner spot moving forward. My wife and I were greeted kindly from the point of arriving by the valet, they were extremely nice and helpful, as well as once we walked in, being welcomed courteously with a smile by the hostess Daisy. The atmosphere was lively with a fully packed house of guests and we were incredibly impressed by how the staff were moving. The staff were so on top of every aspect and detail, they truly moved and worked like a well-oiled machine, kindly, and ridiculously fast-paced. It was a wonderful experience from the moment we arrived and that was all before even ordering and devouring all three of the delicious vegan and gluten-free dishes that we ordered! The establishment was clean and very well maintained. We were greeted by a gentleman by the name of Benito who was not our server but consistently came to our table to check on us and ask if we needed anything, he was sincere and warmly hospitable. I can’t say enough great things about Zabb Thai Cuisine, already looking forward to our next visit.

I liked the, but my wife and inlaws didn't. Their gluten free options are great. They had a special menu, and clearly took it seriously. Unfortunately ,from what I heard their thicker patties and buns leave something to be desired. My big suggestion? Put prices on the gluten free meny. As an aside, I loved how they had rodeo riding on tv. I have only lived in liberal states, so it was a treat to see a media product entirely packaged for a conservative audience. The aesthetic was definitely different and enjoyable to watch. For example, there was a prayer section with a close-up of a rider's impassioned face, and the pledge of allegiance got way more fanfare. That kind of cross cultural education is great.

Lawson Murphy

Absolutely amazing!!! The gluten-free Pennette Piccanti is amazing, flavorful, and definitely worth the price. And speaking of the price it's not too bad. Do yourself a favor, go here, and get amazing gluten-free food, and love your life after you eat it.

Gary Standke

Went here for lunch to check it out prior to booking an event. Very helpful staff in the planning and organization of the event. Great bartending staff in advising of the drink options and custom drinks for the event. The lunch we had was fantastic. Great tasting and gluten free. Rapid service and an amazing atmosphere. The event for 50 people for dinner was great as well. Everything set up as we requested. Food brought out promptly. Signature drink for the event was fantastic. Everything tasted great with lots of options for different dietary needs. Cost was as quoted so no surprises.

Mackenzie C

Incredible dedicated gluten free poke bowls! Celiac Safe. They do not have gluten in the kitchen. *They had one packaged item that was cross contaminated but it was prepared off-site and they may have actually removed it from their menu

P Warinner

I called in advance to make sure restaurant could accommodate gluten allergy and I was assured most menu items could be modified since they were made to order. I was also told that the waitstaff knew the menu and could advise on gluten allergies. That was the furthest from the truth. This was a birthday celebration. 3 items were prepared and served with gluten mixed in the meal . My medium burger came out with a texture that was so well done it looked and tasted like burnt meat. My son never received his meal replacement until we were ready to leave. All of this poor experience which ruined our celebration and they picked up 2 ice teas. This was not at all what we expected. They do not pay attention to what is being served or the details. My dad ordered the mussels and shrimp, the medium tuna steak looked like a well done swordfish. My husband likes flank steak and he said it was alright. Overall poor cooking quality.. update my son’s meal was packed to go and there was a piece of metal in the burger. Wow that takes careless to a whole new level.

Hands-down, this is one of my favorite sushi places in Orange County! Our server Nubia Is an absolute doll and always gives the best recommendations. I also have celiac so she always make sure I’m taking care of and gives me a lot of really great gluten-free options. Every time I come here and get whatever she recommends, I always leave feeling super satisfied and satiated. My favorites are the crispy rice with avocado, crispy rice with Wagyu, Ribeye and asparagus appetizer and I love a modified Philadelphia roll with baked salmon—oh and their chicken fried rice is phenomenal. Thank you Nubia for always such a great experience! :)

P Haar

A nice healthy choice at the mall - lots of different kinds of fish and preparations, including some gluten free options.

Ana María Díaz

Friendly and kind staff. Delicious pastries!! Variety of gluten free vegan options! My mom had mocha and said it was great! Good quality matcha. Definitely recommend this place!

B W

It's a little pricey. The service and food is good. Good fresh coffee. Gluten free options. Right on the beach. Parking is tricky as it's in the state park. Parking at the state park is $15. It has a shuttle from the parking lot but it costs $2.

Kristin Seidman

JOEY has been a favorite since it opened - always amazing food (celiac-friendly), drinks, service, and ambiance. We've enjoyed several impressive meals + nights there and decided to host our wedding dinner for 100 on the patio! It was a seamless process and turned out even better than we could have imagined. Guests cannot stop talking about how amazing the food and service was. Thank you to the whole team -- Madison (superstar event manager) and servers Sarah P, Tiffany, Chasta, Elizabeth, and Jordan M. The team went above and beyond for a beautiful setup, attentive service, and an awesome experience for our guests. We appreciate you all and highly recommend for your next meal or event!

Meghan O'Keefe

So good we went twice in two days. Delightful gluten free bread for both breakfast and lunch. Creative sandwiches with good portion sizes. Juice was very healthy and worth trying if you need the health boost that day.

Betty Rowe

Mike

Neat, small place. The best Gluten Free Pizza I've had yet. Great Iced Tea.

Bree M

Fun that there is a Cupcake ATM. I'm celiac, so I get the gf kind, but they only ever have one flavor of gf- red velvet. It's good! My husband didn't think his gluten-containing black and white was that great- he said it was heavy on the frosting. He would not get it again.

Natalie Smoel

This restaurant is amazing! I left very happy and very full. The meals are a really decent size and the service was great. Our server Ethan was very helpful and helped me in fulfilling my allergy request for gluten free. The food was full of flavour! I have just returned from Vietnam myself and this was the best Vietnamese meal I have ever had. I highly recommended and look forward to returning in the near future. Shout out to our server Ethan, wonderful service and very attentive and helpful.

Lindy Wall

We had a delicious lunch at Z Pizza! We are from out of town and were walking through the plaza trying to find a place to eat, and met the owner, Luis. What a genuinely friendly and generous man!! We enjoyed a delicious pizza and great conversation and stories with Luis. Our daughter was so happy they had such a yummy gluten free pizza - those are hard to find!! We wish we lived closer so we could come back often!! Great customer service, great food, and a great memory for our family! Thanks Luis!

Genevieve Weaver

Just arrived at SNA and needed to feed staff quickly before heading to the office. Perfect place to stop. Plenty of menu options for everyone, and we have an eclectic group from, “I only eat chicken tenders” to “I’m gluten-free” and everyone found something that fit their needs. Staff was friendly and fast. The sandwiches were all delicious. The dirty mayo had great flavor and I loved the chew of the bread. I ate half on the spot around 230 and saved the rest for later. Didn’t eat the other half till about 8:30, and it still tasted great. What a life saver twice that day. Thankful to have found this place and I will be returning.

K Mon

Great food, great service! The waiters and waitresses remember everyone, and have fun personalities. I LOVE their gluten free pasta option.

Bertha Katz

Simarlin

Pizza options include gluten free crust with NO egg or dairy so it's safe for anyone with severe allergies to all these. In my attached picture the pizza in the back was one of those.

michelle andrade

This place has the best customer service. They are amazing. And their gluten free buns top all!

Lynn Sweet

Lots of options, and they have a dedicated fryer (Pitas are baked in a separate oven!)

Sabina Z

Food was great! They have a delicious gluten-free pizza and the portion of salad was huge! Highly recommend it!

Tiffany Kyle

Gluten free margarita pizza was awesome

Jerrit Deephouse

Had a wonderful gluten free lunch. The food was delicious. We had an artichoke for an appetizer then, filet mignon with spaghetti squash, trout with Swiss chard and roast chicken with wild rice. Everything was delicious. The wait staff was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable on how to keep me safe. You can tell they were well trained on how to deal with food allergies. Will definitely be going back.

Melissa M

My parents starting taking me to OSF when I was a child and we have gone as a family throughout the years and it has always been a favorite. We went for the first time since Covid expecting a delicious meal and we were sorely disappointed. I am now gluten free and the GF pasta was hard and basically not edible. The regular pasta meal that my family member ate they said was lacking in flavor and didn't taste the same, it was a smaller portion and the bread was flat and dry. It was $50 for two meals.

Lawson Murphy

Super chill and awesome place to have a beer and a sandwich. Definitely worth a visit. You get definite Island Vibe the music and the conversation. Gluten-free options are here and delicious

Katie Bodell

LOVED this restaurant and the happy hour was fabulously priced. Just be careful if you are celiac: the black beans served with the chips have beer in them.

Gaby Vucurevic

Good food, service is good. Great gluten free options. Will definitely come back!

Genevieve Chaffee

Delicious Food and good service. Celiac ate Risotto with shrimp and scallops with no issues. Fried shrimp and Fried Fish were also great.

Carrie Kozuma

My daughter just got a new job so I brought her and her husband here for lunch we've been to this restaurant many many times and usually we don't ever have a problem with the food she was given ice cream at the end to congratulate her if you've never been to this restaurant go you'll love it they have something for everyone if I remember correctly they also can make entrees gluten free

Shelly Robertson

Staff was very helpful. I asked for gluten and dairy free. Had the delucious Salmon Salad minus the cheese, chose balsalmic vinegar instead of dressing. A bit pricey for lunch but I was not dissappointed.

braden palmer

Wonderful food with lots of gluten free options. I highly recommend it

umairug

The filet mignon was really good! Especially with the risotto. Grateful for creekstone meat! Server was nice. Can make gluten free / celiac safe. Definitely coming back!

Kristine Torres

Nicholas Blackmore

The name did not sound promising and the location is hidden behind the car park of another restaurant - but despite our trepidation, this place turned out to be excellent for dinner. I had an excellent Reuben sandwich and my wife had plenty of gluten free options to choose from. Service was friendly.

Irina Vassilyeva

Love this place! Holiday coffee is amazing! Deviled eggs, gluten free muffin, asparagus and mushrooms omelette are so delicious 😋!!!

Mariah Ahmed

So many delicious gluten free options to choose from!! The owner/chef is very friendly and knows her menu inside out. One of the few places in OC at which I can not only safely eat, but also truly enjoy the food! Easily my favorite spot to eat at Fashion island.

Maxwell Walters

Really good food and tasty margaritas, though some of the staff seemed standoffish, especially when asking menu questions, i.e. Celiac-related dietary restrictions.
