Top 7 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots Across Downtown Pittsburgh

Jen Pfleghaar

We went here with the kids! We had way too much fun! Great gluten free options!

Tiffany Cart

Fantastic little place. The majority of the menu is gluten free and everything is very clearly labelled. We got the yuca fries which were delicious. We also got cheese empanada and black bean empanada and both were very good. My daughter generally will not eat “different” foods and neither of us are fans of spices, but everything was perfect.

We had a fabulous night just before the Pittsburgh Marathon. The food was fabulous and the prices were reasonable and the gluten free options were delicious.

Highly recommend the Sacre Bleu-berry French toast! Had a delicious house made peach cream cheese which was unique. There are a lot of options whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. The inside was a little dated, but nothing to be turned away from. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. Overall a solid spot for breakfast, can't see going wrong with anything on the menu here.

Jonnelle Dietz

So delicious & Sarah was amazing helping us out! One of the group has a gluten allergy & she created a menu that was specific to her needs.

Cristal Lopez

I had gluten free bun burger and it was banging. I loved he fries seasoning and Alexis was the best!

J Rivers

We were kind of find a breakfast place our last day there and we were going to Nikki’s but they were closed and a businessman saw that we were frustrated and recommended the speckled egg in the PGH building Oh my gosh! What an amazing building and the restaurant bar is in the rotunda of the building so you get a great view of the dome inside spectacular view. We ordered breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. I honestly have to say it was one of the best breakfast I’ve ever had dining out, made me fall in love with Pittsburgh , every meal we’ve had was delicious The service was impeccable, very friendly, knowledgeable, and good at recommending food for someone who has a gluten intolerance I had the hen hash with gluten-free toast absolutely delicious!

Sara

Yummy, ice cream with gluten free, vegan and DG options for those who need dietary options! Highly recommend!

Dennis O'Donovan

Interesting place that serves meatballs with any meal on the menu. Fantastic options for my friends who are vegetarian, and gluten free! Our server was very pleasant, however she may have been new. Was very slow with getting our drink refills. Also any other restaurant serves a side salad before the main meal. Not here, it came with the meal...

Julie W

Ordered take out. Green curry and specified gluten-free. It was read back to me as gluten-free. Opened up the box and found a crab rangoon on top of the rice. Be careful.

Quality, Made-From-Scratch Breakfast Bluebird Kitchen is a charming deli-style cafe serving high-quality, made-from-scratch breakfast dishes. They offer a variety of options, including oatmeal, pastires, egg sandwiches, and even a gluten-free hash. While the hash was a bit saltier than expected on our recent visit, our family who frequents here said that otbwas not normal. Given the overall quality and focus on fresh ingredients, I'm willing to chalk it up to a one-time anomaly. If you're looking for a delicious and quick breakfast option, Bluebird Kitchen is definitely worth a try.

Andy was super attentive, super sweet, and helped navigate the menu with a gluten allergy! Because of Andy and how good the food is, whenever I’m in Pittsburgh I will be back!!!

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!!

Tom Bruno

Four people went here on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 just when they opened at 5 PM. We had a very skilled server and the food was excellent. One of the people in our group is gluten intolerant and he was delighted to see that he could get pasta and that the server was knowledgeable about whether any of the sauces contain gluten. We had the rigatoni and vodka sauce, the seafood hot pot, a small cheese pizza, and tagliatelle.

I was around downtown and I found this place that offer vegan and gluten free options ! I loved it! 👌 I highly recommend this place

Jodi Lutz

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

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.

Nice setting and good service. Not the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. Gluten free option removes the rice, pita and anything fried. My lunch consisted of a large salad and three small pieces of meat. Would recommend getting dinner serving if you can’t have rice or pita. If I didn’t have a gluten allergy I would have enjoyed it much more. They do offer a gluten free menu. The Turkish tea was delicious!

Matt Wieszczyk

3.8. Went for dinner tonight. Regular menu didn’t have any allergen markers, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out they did have a gluten free menu upon request. The menu wasn’t extensive, but it was sufficient for my purposes. I ordered my steak medium, because I typically have trouble with my steaks coming out severely underdone, and it came out perfectly medium rare as I was hoping for. The service was rather slow, and it wasn’t all that busy. The bathroom situation was pretty good. They had two stalls, two urinals and a bonus non-gender bathroom for emergencies.

Amazing food, service was great and many gluten free options ! We have Josh and Raya as our servers they made our nights!! 10/10 great scenery!

Marvin Tyler

Chris DeSanto

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant. The food was incredible and they have a ton a vegan and gluten free options. Even for the dishes that aren't vegan or GF its face, there are options for many to make it compatible. The digital menu and seamless payment made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend.

JODEE C

Cute little place for a quick bite with vegan and gluten sensitive options. A little overpriced for what you get. Napkins only available upon asking is a bit of inconvenience.

Mike Jennings

Travelled over from the UK for first Pens game. Great pre game atmosphere. Excellent service and delicious food. Gluten-free pizza option is a delight!

Pretty good with Celiac's, though last time we went there was a small misunderstanding. Management was really nice about it. Really good food and a really fancy place to eat. It kind of depends on the menu. There's been times when everything looks so good we can't decide, and times when nothing catches your eye.

Andy Gard

Pizza Barri is a fantastic spot for a great pizza experience! The pizzas are fabulous, cooked to perfection with a flavorful crust and delicious toppings. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel enjoyable. Their menu is impressively extensive, offering a wide variety of options to satisfy every taste. For those with dietary needs, they also offer gluten-free pizza options, which is a huge plus. Overall, I highly recommend Pizza Barri to anyone craving quality pizza with excellent service.

I moved to Pittsburgh in 2016 and started working downtown. I've ordered hundreds of times in the 7 years I've lived here, because it's the best Thai place I've had, for one particular reason: spice I've eaten from so many Thai restaurants since I got here (that probably includes the one you're thinking of right now), and most places have a pretty mild "10", and even then the spice is just fine. At Siam Thai I usually hover around a 7 or an 8, and that's much hotter than most places top out at. But it's not just heat, it adds a depth to the flavor as well. I have no clue what they do differently, but it works big time. They also tend to be very consistent, but I can tell when someone is filling in for the main cook. There was recently a 3 month span of subpar Siam Thai. Now keep in mind, Siam Thai off its game is still better than 90% of the Thai restaurants out there. But tonight they delivered one of the best meals I've had in a while. Everything was cooked so well, and the spice was HOT. Definitely a level or two higher than expected, but me and my wife were happy to enjoy the burn. Side note: Thai food is great if you're sensitive to gluten. They're a small place of Smithfield downtown, and sometimes only a single person will be running it, and they're in the back cooking. They did indoor seating before the pandemic, but only pickup now. I'm also assuming they're family run, because sometimes they'll close for weeks/a month with a note left on the door. TL;DR This is my favorite Thai in Pittsburgh, it's a small local business, and you should definitely eat here. And probably choose a spice level a little lower than you normally do.

Incredible place to eat downtown and worth the drive if you’re not close. Everything we’ve ever tried here is always top notch. They even have gluten-free options. It’s probably our favorite Japanese spot and ramen spot in the greater Pittsburgh area. I also love how quickly the food is ready if you order to-go. Highly recommend getting reservations if you go on a weekday during the business lunch rush, it gets slammed.

Tammy Ensey

Awesome find! Loved this bakery and the sweet gal working there. Picked up the largest gluten free fruit filled macarons I’ve ever seen. Delicious! Also enjoyed a yummy croissant and the best lemon tart I’ve ever had. You must go!

Deborah Coles

My husband and I mourned the loss of our favorite restaurant, The Carlton , when it closed during the pandemic . What restaurant would match the attention to detail in food quality, aesthetically pleasing food, service, and decorum? The answer is Vallozi's. I was served by Katie, who understood what wine would match my veal piccatta and my husband's veal strip. The food was cooked to perfection and was very b aesthetically pleasing. We followed up our meal with a gluten-free flour less chocolate cake and a glass of chambord liquor before going to The Pittsburgh Symphony. We found our new favorite restaurant. 😍

Gluten and soy-free diner here. Last night, my stepdaughter and I had dinner reservations before the Bills/Steelers preseason football game. I advised the restaurant via OpenTable of my dietary restrictions. Thus, both the host and our server, Autumn, were aware, and each advised the kitchen. Given such good communication, I ordered the Whiskey Pickled & Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese as an appetizer. Since the goat cheese was fried, Autumn recommended adding crumbled goat cheese instead. In regards to their house salad dressing, I asked her to double-check the ingredients to make sure that it did not contain soy. Unfortunately, it did, so olive oil was a fine substitute. For my main entree, I selected the Half Roasted Mesquite Chicken, which is one of their normal gluten-free choices. It is served with sautéed spinach, asparagus, and smashed red skins. The chicken was moist, and each of the vegetables was delicious. My stepdaughter thoroughly enjoyed her French Onion Soup and Salmon Caesar Salad. Thank you once again, Autumn, for your attention to detail, and we look forward to dining with you again the next time we visit Pittsburgh.

Server was awesome! Food was perfect except broccolini. Pizza was amazing and decent.gluten free menu.

Julie W

Nice and fresh. Good for midday break from work. Easy in and out. Located in the Oxford Market (lower food court) of the One Oxford Centre building. No gluten free soy sauce. However, taste is still good. (Salmon avocado and cucumber rolls.)

Slow slow slow! When asking for gluten free French toast, there’s no powder sugar or cinnamon. The amount of pancake for the dollar size isn’t even 1 pancake. For $60 we left hungry

Sultan Doner is a hidden gem, especially for those with gluten-free needs! My wife has gluten intolerance. Although the menu is not marked for GF, the owner was incredibly helpful in pointing out several menu options that are gluten-free. Many of the kebabs are GF. And the additon of a Turkish coffee or pop drink, making it a great spot for a casual meal. It's also super convenient, located steps away from the baseball stadium and with easy access from the Roberto Clemente bridge. While they don't explicitly advertise gluten-free options, the owner's help to identify meals for dietary restrictions was a big plus! Just be sure to ask about them when you order.

Tamara Weaver

Food can be spicy, but delicious! Gluten-free options too

Zachary Davis

This place is lit. The vibe, atmosphere, music, drinks, food. It's not as loud as other bars, makes for a great social lounge. They have a kitchen serving up tons of veg snacks, and their Hummus board can be made gluten free!

Bobby Simon

One of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Bone marrow is always a must and they even offered a gluten free option for the bread. Highly recommend to anyone in town. Definitely make reservations in advance
