Top 21 Gluten-Free Spots Across Detroit

Dillon Boucher

The crust is boring and the sauce/cheese are just alright. Their gluten free pizza is better than their regular pizzas (in my opinion)!

I have a hard time finding gluten-free, dairy-free food. Ima Noodles checked all the boxes for me! Not only was it delicious but it was healthy and pleasing to the eye. One of my new favorite places!😍

Born out of her parents’ kitchen in Milford late-2012 Lisa Ludwinski has earned national recognition at Sister Pie, the story of hard-work and triumph as “blue collar” as Detroit itself though the corner lot on Kercheval Avenue remains humble even now. Built on loans, grants and friendship, plus a 24-hour dance marathon in 2015, guests entering Sister Pie will quickly note a sizable workspace filled with women, many taking time to greet patrons or offer suggestions of items tucked away on a table behind glass. Willing to take a stance on environmental issues and workers’ rights, a no-tipping policy utilized to assure equality in pay plus biodegradable packaging and composting a priority, choices change daily but always include Cookies such as the Wheat-free Buckwheat Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Golden Raisin and smoky-smooth Peanut Butter Paprika. Not forgetting a “Sandwich Cookie” that looks like two bite-sized Biscuits around Buttercream, a favorite recommended by friends who’ve taken one of Lisa’s baking classes, suffice it to say Sister Pie’s “From Another Galaxy Brownie” lives up to its name while being both gluten-free and vegan while the Strawberry Cornmeal Scone was an edible snapshot of late-Summer. Obviously not forgetting some eponymous slices, two of four available this day, Salted Maple spins Canada’s classic beautifully on an all-Butter Crust while The Banana Pete puts a mountain of Meringue and crumbled Cookies on a Banana Custard base.

The food is so good!! I went with a friend and we got the peanut stew, bean stew and rice, akasa, and the fufu. It was my first time having fufu I loved it!! Tastes similar to mashed potatoes, next time I go I’ll get that with the peanut stew, they went together so well. My friend is vegan and gluten free and hates having to be the picky one asking questions, but the server was super polite and answered all the questions we had about the ingredients. They have enough vegan and gluten free options to satisfy that crowd, even though they don’t advertise it. My only suggestion would be to add vegan/gluten free symbols to the menu so people don’t have to ask, or worse, not order y’all’s delicious food bc they aren’t sure and don’t want to ask! Already craving another peanut stew and fufu!!! Thank you!!

Shelby was great!!!!! They have gluten free and vegan options.

Emma Kleidon

Easily the best Gluten Free fried chicken I’ve had, and the bowl was amazing with the rice and steamed broccoli

The Detroit pizza with old and new world pepp was unbelievable! Zesty sauce but nothing that led to heartburn or bothered the kids. This is the best pizza i have ever had thats more deep dish in last 12 yrs since celiac! Super fun vibey place! And incredibly reasonable. Get 4 slices for gf and i coupd only eat 2 fyi. The family salad with homemade ranch is the BEST!!

Tania Carnegie

This place is amazing! My server Paulina was super nice and helpful! The drinks were great and the food was amazing. So cheap for food of such amazing quality, I will definitely be back! Also I noticed they had quite a few gluten free menu items!

Niccie Meyer

First time going, and I did not make a reservation. We were able to snag two seats at the bar after about 30 minutes. Definitely recommend making a reservation, if you can. The service was great! The server was very friendly. The gluten-free pancakes were awesome! I got the half size, which was definitely enough food.

An incredible dining experience. Super high quality food and great atmosphere. We sat at the chefs counter and our server, Ryan, was fantastic - both attentive and kind. Incredibly accommodating to food allergies, we had a lot of options and a great gluten free meal.

Galen Thompson

Best Pizza in Detroit! The gluten free pizza is hands down the best we've had in North America! Such a great crust! Amazing quality on toppings and the guys running the place and cooking the pizza's are world class, Thanks to the team at M&T you guys are killing it ,Cheers!

Karen Smith

I doordashed one of the lettuce wraps and it is amazing!!! I recently became gluten & dairy free and this place has plenty of options. Will be back. :)

Angelina Rivera

Came in to order takeout for lunch yesterday— Molly killed it! She had to balance the floor (which had a 40+ party in one room alone), the bar, AND takeout. Food was well worth the wait; as a plus, the gluten-free substitutes were high quality.

Annette Smith

Chartreuse was an excellent dining experience. I ate with a large work group, and everything was spectacular. From the entrees to the salads and desserts, everything was delicious with unique options and good flavors. It was also able to accommodate celiac gluten free and vegan options for our groups. I highly recommend their Mocktails and homemade cola.

Todd Orbaczewski

Everything was delicious. I had the lamb and beef over hummus (gluten free) The deviled eggs were amazing as well. Highly recommend.

Ed

Ottava Via in Detroit’s Corktown is a cozy Italian spot with a rustic vibe and friendly staff. The brick oven pizzas are a hit—especially the Funghi and Margherita—and the garlic shrimp appetizer is a must-try. They offer gluten-free pasta options at no extra charge, which is a nice touch. The outdoor patio with bocce ball courts and fire pits adds a fun twist. Service is generally great, though it can get busy on weekends, so plan ahead. Overall, a solid choice for a relaxed night out.

Chieko Laux

The food was great. We went there for Sunday brunch and it is hard to talk since it was very noisy.　The server was very kind and tell us which ones are gluten free.

Shayna Raina

Came here with a friend on Saturday. I had one mocktail called a ‘Spa Water’ and one cocktail called ‘Buddy Buddy.’ Both were excellent. A friend and I shared brussel sprouts and a half chicken. Food was good. The flavors were subtle, but the food was well-made. They were patient with me and accommodated my gluten allergy. We were served at the bar and the bartender gave great service. Will likely come back 😁

Liz Evans

I have celiac so finding a place that understands how to prepare GF foods is important. They were well educated, had several options, and everyone was so kind! We had breakfast and coffee and it was delicious. Will definitely return again when in the area! Thank you for doing gluten free right so that patrons can trust your food!

Mitchell J

Gluten free options, always get a plug!

Richard Siemion

Came in here for the first time and I am blown away by everything. We took our two kids for a quick bite before tball practice expecting “fast food,” but ended up getting great, relatively healthy food fast. The first thing that impressed me was the professionalism and attention to detail our server Sebastian had. He identified my wife’s egg and gluten allergy and took the level and care everyone should take but doesn’t. He also must’ve walked to and from the register 6 times during our meal to serve us the second food came out or assist. I’ve never had this level of Service, quality, talent and care outside of a 5 star restaurant where I would be dropping many more dead presidents. I plan to make this a regular thing. Great job Sebastian and staff !!!

Richard Fessler

The staff is amazing, the bar is good. The food selection includes gluten free and is well rounded. However, the food can be hit or miss depending on who is working the kitchen. Tonight was a miss. Other nights are great!

Jacqueline Van Cleave

Gluten Free & Handicap Accessible Review: I've been to Leila multiple times & have always been very satisfied. Food: The food quality and preparation is exceptional. The menu is marked with gluten free indicators, making it easy for myself (and the kitchen) to order. I have not ordered one item I haven't been happy with- definitely recommend sampling multiple dishes off the mezze menu. Service: The service has been consistently good during my multiple visits. This last visit, I ate with a friend who utilizes a wheelchair for their mobility. I notified the restaurant when booking my reservation that we would need a handicap accessible table. Upon being taken to our table close to the doors, we noticed they already had the fourth chair of our table removed to make room for the wheelchair. We eat out all over metro Detroit and this is the first time the table has been properly prepared with the chair removed to make room for the wheelchair. Huge thank you to the team there for thinking ahead & making the seating experience seamless just by providing one simple accommodation. It may have seemed liked a small measure to the staff, but it was huge to our group. We will definitely be back!

Atmosphere was amazing, such a cool place. Unfortunately my filet was WAY overcooked, shells in the lobster bisque, and cocktails were all sickly sweet. Still a good experience but for such an amazing location I would hope for a better dining experience. Also some confusion about gluten free options which left me nervous as someone with Celiac but luckily I ate the filet, bisque, and Panna Cotta and was fine after.

Lisa Eaton

Had the GF chicken and broccoli with GF fried rice. Good but I wish I would have gone with the lettuce wraps.

Leah Sweeting

Got the gluten free crust for the Hawaiian with vegan chorizo. They clearly cooked it for the same amount of time as a regular pizza so the crust was quite burned, I was far too hungry to wait an additional twenty minutes for a remake. The pineapple bits were so tiny I couldn't really taste them. I've been wanting to come here for over a year now and I was so excited but the pizza was ultimately disappointing. However the bartenders were so wonderful, friendly and thorough.

Tim Forrest

Great food and gluten free options for those who need it.

Gaby Schneider

Great service! Gluten free options

K Payne

Our family was in town for the week from AZ helping our daughter move in nearby. Both she & her dad are celiac so we tried the GF pizza. They both agreed it was one of the best they ever had. So good they double checked that they got the GF :) We went back again before leaving for the airport. Great food & staff both times!

Grace Dorton

Wonderful little gem for those who need gluten free or other allergy accommodations on the go at the airport. All the prepared items have little signs indicating what allergies they accommodate, including gluten free. They have a really nice sized yummy gluten free breakfast sandwich that Cole helped me make sure was celiac safe. Went above and beyond to check with the manager, chat about it, and do a couple extra steps to make sure I felt safe with it. (And for a *gluten free* sandwich, it was a good price, too!)

Leah Sweeting

Love the Lager House, Sam is an awesome bartender and the food selection is uniquely extensive for the area. I highly recommend the crispy tofu! They also have gluten free and vegan options

Dana Donoho

This experience was awesome! We made it to the restaurant just before the kitchen closed. We were on a deadline ourselves because our daughter has Type 1 diabetes and a gluten allergy, which makes dining out very complicated. Our server, Brandon, was on top of it. He was able to get out food order in before the cutoff time, with crazy dietary restrictions to contend with. Did I mention that it was also my daughter's birthday? He made sure my daughter got her birthday (gluten free) desert, and he even sang happy birthday to her. It was the perfect ending to such a special day for a special little girl! Added bonuses... live music, a birthday dance, GREAT food, and the most beautiful views of the Detroit River and Windsor, Ontario!

Emily Crombez

Their menu highlights fresh & in season items that are locally sourced (huge win in my book), and they have something for all of my friends with various dietary considerations. Gluten free? Lactose intolerant? Vegan? Halal? They'll feed you something awesome. I have brought friends here again and again simply because 1) I know they're not going to get this same experience anywhere else 2) I know they'll love the food 3) it gives me an excuse to come back The chef & staff really makes you feel like you're at their home and you're an esteemed guest! Learn about Moroccan tea service with a tall pour, try a fun new seasonal drink or a non-alcoholic wine, or attend one of the many celebratory nights hosted at Saffron. As a long time guest, I will continue to frequent this place for the incredible flavors & the welcoming service. This restaurant has truly changed my perspective on learning about cuisine, experiencing new flavors, & being part of a community.

Sean Crotty

We brought a group of 10 in and they took care of us like family. We tried four different specialty pizzas and they were all great. One of the folks in our group got the gluten-free pizza dough and said it was the best she has ever tasted. 10/10 would recommend!

Denise Davenport

1st time at this establishment! Fantastic Highly recommend So accommodating for gluten and dairy free eating!!!

tgeiger05

My wife and I have been here several times and it never disappoints! The Chopped Salad and Roasted Chicken are amazing and having gluten free options is a must for us! Ynocencio served us drinks this last time. His drinks, presentation, and humor were all on point! We can’t wait to go back!

SheWolf is an amazing experience from start to finish. Service 5/5 - The staff promptly greeted us at the door, we were a bit early so they asked if we would like a drink while we waited. They have a nice standing area to put your jackets and a place to put your drinks while you wait. After a few minutes we had drinks in hand and enjoying the night. Once we were sat (at the bar) the bar tender explained the menu extensively to my fiancé who is gluten free, and my god did they have a lot of options! You could tell every staff member was well versed in the offerings and their passion was seen throughout the entire experience. Drinks 4/5 - Overall we loved our drinks, I had a few off menu cocktails and my fiancé had champagne and wine, I feel like SheWolf isnt fully utilizing their skilled bartenders with a very small cocktail menu. I think they could push a little here and it would make it 5/5. Food 5/5 - Literally every dish was just the right portion, and seasoned to perfection. We were able to share an app, both had Pasta, and Fiancé was amazed how good their gluten free pasta was. Dessert was also amazing. What we loved is we felt great after having all these dishes. Could I of eaten more? Yes! But I prefer exactly how they do it because now I just want to go back :D ! Overall, the vibe of the restaurant is great, you can feel the passion with the staff members, and an excellent date night. Easy on-site parking, and close enough to downtown you could drive a few minutes to have a night out after an amazing dinner. We WILL be back!

Chris Horak

Very safe for celiacs needing to eat gluten free. Great food we will be back. A mix of Cuban/Latin American. If you go before a 7pm Redwings game, go at 5pm to get a seat. We loved the chicken and beef Fritas. GF eater had chicken verde bowl. Next time, we’ll order the mayo on the side for the sandwiches, they add a lot and it gets messy. Also, we loved the plantains, but not the loaded ones, because the beans are really spicy. Large groups consider getting the bucket of beers or the fishbowl cocktails because it packs up before games or events and it is hard to get the second drink.

Megan Hile

Absolute fantastic experience. Patrick our server was extraordinary. The salad to main dish to dessert. Excellent and on par and exceeded our expectations even with gluten allergy. Thank you. Everything was thoughtful, wine selection was wonderful, desserts….. amazing. I would put the visit here as one of my top ten food experiences. We will be back when in Detroit.

Alana Hoffert

i have celiacs and they had some gluten free options and the waitress seemed knowledgeable. they don’t have a dedicated fryer but they have bread and pasta that’s gluten free. I got the mac and cheese and it was delicious!

Paul Roe

The food was absolutely excellent. The service was absolutely excellent. The view was absolutely excellent. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars in every single category is that I did mention I have a gluten allergy, and there was one small gluten item that was missed in the dessert that I ordered. Otherwise, the staff was very proactive and swapped out gluten-free options without my direction throughout the meal. And once again, all the food was wonderful.

Susan Williams

Buddy's is one of the few pizza places, in Detroit, which offers the full pizza menu as gluten free. What I like the absolute best, is I can customize my gluten free pizza anyway I wish from the original menu; and I do. Another great thing about Buddy's gluten free pizza is it taste great!! I use the customization all the time and many times create my own all cheese pizza, from the "Build Your Own". Thank you Buddy's for having great tasting gluten free pizza!!!!

Sara Aldridge

This is a main stay for my husband and I! Michael Ransom and his team continually deliver amazing hospitality and INCREDIBLE food. The staff is always so attentive-whether it's the hostess, bartenders or servers. The staff is a HUGE part of why we come back on an almost weekly basis. This is the go to spot when we have guests in town as the menu has something for everyone-meat eaters, vegans, and gluten free dinners alike. The drink menu is always on point with a great selection of sake, beers, wine, and cocktails. And the weekly happy hour is one of the best in the city. $5 pints of Sapporo and carafes of sake, and awesome shareable for only $5 a pop. If you're looking for a warm, unpretentious dining environment that always has great music playing, lovely hospitality and a menu that will satisfy any appetite, this is your spot!

Jason Defoe

Really neat place. Trendy and comfy atmosphere. Really appreciate the variety of food and the ability to accommodate all allergies and diets, from vegan to gluten-free.
