Top 34 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Ridgewood, New York

I used to love this place, but I feel they shouldn’t advertise having gluten free pizza options if they will always be out before the day starts out and don’t try to have enough dough left for people. If you are gluten free, its best to avoid unless you wish on a genie to get lucky.

I would not recommend this place for allergies, especially for people with celiacs. Unfortunately, places like this are the most dangerous for people with food allergies. The menu is marked and seems inclusive, but the staff I interacted with was not aware and did not care or take note when I asked about gluten free options and said that I have a gluten allergy. The person working didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked if the fries are fried in a shared fryer and was annoyed when I asked if she could check. She left and didn’t come back with a clear answer so, I played it as safe as possible and my food still came out carelessly on bread. I brought it to the counter and they brought it right back out without the bread. No communication. At that point I started noticed the lipstick on marks on my water cup and the jars of shared condiments where anyone can dip whatever utensils they want into it (including contaminated knives spreading on bread and back). I was grossed out. I have celiacs. These details matter. I know how to navigate menus and how to respectfully advocate for the bare minimum. It’s not clean and it’s not safe.

We needed a delicious custom gluten free cake for our small wedding and Rudy's delivered and then some. We were able to do a cake tasting with red velvet, vanilla and rainbow cake along with different buttercreams, fruit fillings and cannoli cream. We ended up with a red velvet cake with strawberry and cannoli cream filling and vanilla buttercream. Not only did most of the guests not realize it was GF but they all thouyght it was absolutely delicious! The owners were so nice throughout the process and make sure the cake and the design was exactly what we were looking for. Definitely recommend and would order again!

Julia's is fantastic! The staff are very attentive. Went there tonight. Had the BBQ sliders, arepas (highly recommend), as well as apple goat cheese salad. My partner went for brunch a few weeks ago with some friends from upstate and had a fabulous time. One of the nice things is there are a lot of gluten-free/vegan options as well as a variety of mocktails for those who don't imbibe.

Celiac-friendly; cozy ambiance; outside seating; great food. Had the quarter chicken w/ yellow rice. Enjoyed the corn chips & homemade salsa too. Definitely will go again.

As soon as you walk in the door to Rosa's Pizza you're immediately drawn in by the array of pizzas. So many selections of freshly prepared pies. The staff are friendly and hospitable. There's also gluten free selections available. This is my go to lunch spot for the best food ever. Cheers

Sandwiches are the best in Queens and baked goods are also great. They have wonderful gluten free options. Not the best coffee, and long wait times and mixed up orders happen frequently. It’s worth the wait though, just check your bag before you leave to make sure it’s correct!

Milo was so incredibly helpful in ordering gluten free and ensuring what I ordered was. The food was delicious and so fresh. The atmosphere was very chill. I would highly recommend.

Ethan Gooding

Great food, solid prices, nice staff. I usually get cream cheese on their toasted gluten-free bread (which is quite good), but I got their cheddar "smashbrowns" with bacon added today and realized it was time to give them a review. Also, everyone who works there is incredibly sweet. Beyond being accommodating with substitutions and such, they're just super chill.

I ordered ahead online for a gluten free pizza. They gave me a reusable plastic cutter with my pizza to guard from cross contamination since it's an allergy, not a preference. I appreciate that kind of thinking so so much. I would highly recommend coming here for your pizza, by the slice or by the box. (Although I think the Gluten free pizza is only by the box?) The pizza was out pretty quickly too. I ordered it while I was walking towards it and I waited at a table for only a couple more minutes and it was ready. I'm very impressed and would return!

The pupusas are incredible, gluten-free, and the kind woman taking my order was very knowledgeable about celiac needs, even knowing about which spices might contain flour. Highly recommend!

Good tasting gluten-free pies

Ezra Last Name

Over a half dozen times eating there and Gluen-free safe. Gluten free & regular food tastes great - I put it above shake shack with more of a homemade/southern taste. Recommended.

I’ve heard lots about Salty Lunch Lady since coming to the area, I didn’t except the counter area to be so nicely spaced out with room for a Creams*cle Layer Cake slice, drip cup of Williamsburg’s roasted Young Coffee, and a Squash Me sandwich which was nicely balanced savory and sweet from the squash and cheese, on a ciabatta bun sourced from Balthazar. Other bread sources include Sullivan St. Bakery and a gluten free vendor. I felt lucky there was time to speak with founder and chef Dria Atencio who came out briefly. It was great to speak with her and hear some of what they have planned coming up like expanding their grocery section. Dria highlighted some chili crisp from a local maker recently stocked. The dining experience was super delightful with unique plates served to every customer, and hanging lamps sourced from apparently Yugoslavia countries. Even the wooden stool had some hand painted fruit flares and design. All service is counter so be sure to hear your name called from the kitchen. I need to come back for the Pandan Coconut Cream Pie, which you can preorder among everything else, form their website.

This is our go-to place in our neighborhood whenever we want something quick, easy and reliable, and it never lets us down! Caters for gluten free, ingredients are always fresh, sauce is delicious. Staff are always super friendly, and it's always a nice place to eat. If you want quality and consistency at a good price with friendly staff, this is the spot.

Aaron Goldman

Delicious, vegan. Ask for gluten free, much of the menu can be made GF without soy sauce and still delicious.!

Jonika Ruz

Their pasta and pizza are amazing!! Finally an Italian food place I can enjoy. :) The food is delicious! I've only ordered through UberEats. I haven't been there in person, but wow the gnocchi is like I'm back in Italy. I've had a gluten free pizza crust, which is difficult to get in the city and taste is not always to par, but they knock it out of the park! Here it is delicious, but you need to note it on UberEats for gluten-free. I called the restaurant to see if it was available and I ordered a larger pie to compensate/cover cost of the smaller gluten-free pie, since the crust is a surcharge. It worked out beautifully. I don't have celiac just a sensitive so anyone with a true allergy should find out more information through the restaurant. All and all 2 thumbs up! 👍🏼 👍🏼

The "colorado" burger (I cannot remember the name) is delicious, one of the best I have had so far, highly recommended. The staff is very friendly, and attentive. I love how they have the Mocktails (cocktails without the alcohol). Also the have vegan/gluten free items on the menu. Definitely going back!

Delicious food. Has food for vegan and carnivore friends and has a burrito bowl option for the gluten free and Paleo crowd. Service is great! Felt personal, like the staff really cares that you have a good time and enjoy their food. Highly recommend!

I recently started going to this magical little cafe. I get the gluten free brownie with an ice coffee while I sit outside and read. Quite a lovely little oasis :)

Hannah C.

EXCELLENT pizza, this place is my go to. I’m a big fan of the chicken broccoli, vodka when they have it, and beef patty with cheese. I brought my gluten free friend along a few times, and she seems to like their gf pizza a lot. Friendly staff, great pizzaria atmosphere, 10/10, I come here literally all the time.

I had a really nice experience here! I am celiac and the staff was very helpful about telling me what I could eat and what I couldn’t. They informed me most of their menu can be done gluten free as they have gluten free bread. We had excellent service and the atmosphere was exactly as the title says- like I was in a cosy corner! Definitely recommend going if you’re looking for a lunch in cold springs!

Beautiful new restaurant in the neighborhood! We ordered the tricolore salad, beef ragu with gluten-free rigatoni, and pesto fusilli. Everything was very delicious. The staff is so friendly and kind, and there was great music playing. We’ll be back!
