Phenomenal food and service, can’t say enough nice things about this place! Loved that the chicken pizza had a smoked option!
My dad had a gluten free sub with fries that he said was delicious, we will be back for sure!
The food and whole experience was like a spiritual experience!!
As a person with celiac disease I have one had fried chicken once and it was not anywhere close to being as delicious as the fried chicken sandwich I got here! I also got the fried provolone cheese wheel. YALL!!! 10/10. My gluten eating best friend was as blown away as I was! She said it was the best food PERIOD that she's had in a long time! Would recommend!!
I’ve been ordering from Mandy’s for 7.5 years, since being diagnosed with celiac. Things have been wonky since ownership changed, but on 12/28/24 I called at 5:15pm and was told they were out of gluten free pizza shells for the evening. Sold out at 5pm on a Saturday? So I ordered a gf turkey hoagie, to which I was told that the owner had taken this item off the menu! What?? I was flabbergasted! This is not an unconventional item, it’s a turkey hoagie!
I continued my order of traditional food for the rest of my family, a pizza and two hoagies, and waited 55 minutes for them, even when the the girl answering phones was telling people 35 minutes(I know this because I stood in the restaurant for 20 mins waiting for my 3 items, since I arrived at the 35 minute mark.)
It was very disappointing, and I hope that the restaurant can stay true to the original owners dream of food for those of us will allergies and restrictions.
I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone with allergies. My best friend has severe gluten and mushroom allergies, so we were excited to try this fully gluten-free spot. We informed the waitress about her allergies, but it became clear they were not taken seriously. After eating tortilla chips, we were later told the fryer was used for mushrooms—a major cross-contamination issue.
The situation escalated as we anxiously waited to see if an epi-pen or ambulance was necessary. The waitress apologized, but the manager hovered awkwardly, making excuses instead of giving us space to handle the situation. Their poor handling of a life-threatening allergy made an already frightening experience worse. If you have food allergies, avoid this place.
We visited Pittsburgh for a day and found this restaurant on find me gluten free. Everything on the menu is Gf except two things. Our waitress Ana was awesome! The food was incredible. The empanadas are to die for!!!!
Great spot to get Neapolitan style pizza. They have the best gluten free pizza in Pittsburgh. Wife is Gf and she’s craves it. Honestly can’t tell much of a difference. Gelato is tasty and great selection of wine by glass, half and bottle.
Went to Fat Head's for dinner and the GF Codfather didn’t disappoint, even threw in a gluten free Ghostfish Brewing Company beer. I can’t tell you the last time my wife had either of those out! She has celiac and is super sensitive and didn’t have any side effects, even today!!
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.
Not celiac friendly. They have carelessly glutened us after specifically calling in about me and my child having celiac. They offered a gift card in the mail as an apology but I never received one. Stay away from Burgatory.
Some of the best breakfast of my entire life. Sublime. The namesake pancakes are as good as you'd want them to be, rich, complex, savory. Each variety or different type of cake hits such different notes and is such a delight to try.
Even the gluten free pancakes, definitely not my thing, were vastly enjoyed by my mom who because of dietary restrictions couldn't have anything else. She asks me if we can come back here very often.
As for anything else here, you may have had better eggs elsewhere I can't speak to that. But the pancakes in particular are of an unreal quality, I've taken friends here and they've agreed with me on how great it is here.
And I'm not ragging on the other meals you can have here either, I've mostly stayed pancake exclusive myself, but the eggs I've had were also of an above average quality to say the least.
The place is well maintened and really looks like a cheesecake factory, but less, I dunno, in your face? I like it a lot. Very homey, but still classy. Overall, great place, great food, and I've only had great service.

Food, service and atmosphere were all great and my celiac daughter was well taken care of. I'm giving 3 stars because we went on mother's day and they were taking reservations. But the online wait-list nor anywhere else online that we saw said so. So we joined the wait-list which said 10-20 min but it was really 45min. They really needed to take the wait-list offline and post they are taken reservations for that day.
Edit:
Thanks for the response, good to see you pay attention to customer feedback, I gave you another star for the followup.
We used Giovanni's for catering for a graduation party and the food was a hit at the party. Everyone wanted to know where we got the food because they loved it. The variety of food was excellent. In addition to a great variety of excellent food, there are several gluten free options which helped with dietary restrictions.
Great place for celiacs! Almost everything on the menu was gluten free, and they told me they do have 2 friers to keep the items GF. Delicious food too!

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.
I must say ,it is worth the drive ,must go at least once if not more! I hope to travel back in the future at some point. By far my favorite burger joint, u can pick not only from specific items specified on the menu you have the opportunity to customize your own Burger! They do offer vegetables on the menu however it is limited and they do cater to specific allergies.They offer gluten free bun, if u want a bun. Also offer different meat options. Organic beef, to bison, waygu, elk. . Got to check them out! Find out for yourself, the ONLY disappointment was the in house chips lacked flavor, and the slaw was lacking flavor as well. The service was thorough, on point and great at explaining and answering questions.
This review is about the location in Southside.
There's a tl;dr at the end.
I did take-away so it was a limited atmosphere experience. Seemed like a normal kind of diner, just more brown and wooden?
I was VERY excited when I learned they make gluten free waffles (I have Celiac disease). It's only for the "design your own" section, at least when ordering online. Not for the specials. You also can't specify decaf for any of the coffee drinks (I ordered the signature drink that was supposed to have hazelnut, vanilla, and maple flavor with foam on top). But I figured I could deal with full caf for a day, and if I happened to get there before they made it, I could always ask them to do decaf instead.
The order was supposed to be ready to be picked up at 16 past the hour. I got there shortly after that and it wasn't ready. The place was basically empty. As far as I could hear and see there were two tables there, two servers, and two kitchen staff. They were all sort of meandering around slowly, and when one server finally came to greet me, they weren't pleasant at all. I've been a server multiple times in different places, so I know how hard it can be and always try to give the benefit of the doubt, so I was friendly to them and told them my name and what I was there for. They had me sign a receipt (we'd already tipped 15-20% online, our usual for take-away), then set it down and just walked away.
Another server came out and started prepping a to-go hot drink and I asked if that was mine and if so, could they make it decaf please, since there wasn't a way to request that online? The server just said "it's not yours," and finished what they were doing. Apparently didn't tell the other server. I waited another 10 minutes before the other server brought out the bag and said "here you go!" (the friendliest anybody had been). I said I still had a drink. The signature. Then I remembered we'd ordered it separately, trying to do it decaf, so I apologized and explained it was a separate check. They sighed and started prepping it and I quickly asked about the decaf, explaining the order issue. They didn't respond, but I could tell they were unhappy about it. I felt badly, but I had been very friendly, and when I was a server I was happy just to have someone be friendly and kind to me. Nobody ever tipped me on take-away orders. I only had 45min to have lunch with my spouse IF the food had been ready on time, which it wasn't, and now because of the very long wait I was going to have about 10min with him. I just wanted to get out of there, so I wasn't paying much attention while the server made my drink. I thanked her when I got it, and rushed out.
It wasn't until I tasted it a few minutes later when I was at my spouse's office that I realized it was plain coffee/espresso. I don't even know if it was decaf. But it tasted terrible and had none of the things from the signature drink in it I'd paid for. I wasn't going to go back, obviously, because we had no time at that point, and it looked like it was just those employees on the floor. So my spouse drank it instead because he can drink motor oil if it smells like coffee.
Tl;Dr It was super depressing atmosphere inside, servers were rude, food wasn't ready in time, so it ruined rare lunch date with spouse, and I was given plain coffee instead of signature drink I paid for. Lame. 2/5 stars. Only gets even the 2 stars because of the gf waffles, which I haven't been able to have since developing Celiac disease after a major surgery. Those were tasty.

As a Celiac there's few places I feel this safe eating at. Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu and employees will immediately take note if you state you have an allergy. The chips are in their own fryer, which is wonderful given that many Mexican restaurants have shared fryers that aren't Celiac/ gluten allergy-friendly.
I also love the atmosphere (fun, vibrant art and very friendly waitstaff) and the food is DELICIOUS! Prices are very fair for portion size, especially for nachos and bowls. 10/10 recommend!
This Mission BBQ is the best one I’ve ever been too. It’s super easy to eat gluten free here because I have Celiac.
The employees are very happy.
The service is impeccable. I always love coming to this location (I’ve been to over 20 locations).
We just celebrated my sisters birthday and Jamie, our server, managed our large table with efficiency and top notch service. I have a gluten intolerance and everyone was so conscientious that I felt totally comfortable. I had the Mediterranean chicken with the accompanying GF cookie and ice cream and it was delicious. Thanks, BJ's!
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!
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.

Really nice place and friendly staff. When I asked them for a gluten-free pizza for an allergy, they even pulled out a new tub of tomato sauce that wasn’t contaminated. I really appreciate the extra effort they are making.
They made it so easy for me to know what had gluten. I really really appreciated that they handed me an annotated menu when we got there.
I got the panang curry with shrimp and my fiancé got the beef cheeks. We also shared the tuna laab and khao yum. He still talks about the meal weeks later and has even tried to make the salad and beef at home. I loved the curry and the natural (somewhat sparkling) wine!
We hope to be back again! The courtyard was the perfect atmosphere.
Journee was a very nice waitress and overall I enjoyed my visit. They have free wifi and a plug somewhat close by if you need to charge your laptop (bring a long cord). The bathrooms are super nice and they do a good job of managing food allergies. All that being said, unfortunately every time I visit a burgatory, the food is always just meh. It doesn't really have much flavor and the gluten free bun was stale. If they can fix that I would definitely come here more often
This is the most amazing gluten free pizza I’ve ever had and I travel quite extensively! It looked the same size, texture, and shape as my husband’s normal pizza which was so nice. The recipe was developed with help from one of their own staff with Celiacs. It was so fluffy!!!! The topping choices were extensive, high-quality, and just so so delicious. If you’re GF, run here!!
As a recently diagnosed celiac avoiding dairy, I love stopping at Condado any time I’m in town visiting family. Their menu marks very clearly which items contain gluten & dairy, and the staff is very knowledgeable about food allergies (plus they’re always so friendly!!). I’ve eaten here a few times and never gotten sick. Their delicious gluten free margs, chips, and tacos gives me a sense of normalcy & it’s all so good!
These are hands down the best gluten feee baked goods I’ve ever had! I find myself venturing to Koala coffee every morning to try something new, and admittedly get a little too sad when it’s time for them to restock Illumina products lol! The blueberry lemon cake, hummingbird cake, and plain vanilla cake have all been divine. I would have a very hard time telling they were gluten free if I didn’t know! Perfect texture and taste! Keeping my fingers crossed that Illumina one day also has a store front!
I love Aladdin’s. They have so many gluten free, vegetarian, and vegetarian options. The waitress was very accommodating to my gluten allergy and the baba ganoush was so good. The feel is family owned and local!
If you are looking for a good Middle Eastern food Aladdin's Eatery at Mt. Lebanon is best place to get it. They not only simplify menu by labels such V-for vegetarian VG-vegan GF-gluten free N-contains nuts, but you also get a great choice of smoothies and delicious shareable (cakes are that big) desserts. Depending on a time of the day place can be packed because it’s not that big so you might consider take out. Otherwise atmosphere is so nice that it makes the place be a great place for the dates. I only give it 4 stars because I think they need to offer better tea and coffee-something more than just regular ones.
Really loved this place!
The staff is very kind, the food is delicious and has great portions.
I'm gluten free and they had a dedicated gluten free menu!
I highly recommend the bean dip and the half jerk chicken!
I have celiac and the worker was so accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful even on a night as busy as the super bowl!
They had probably one of the best GF crusts i’ve had in Pittsburgh and it was perfectly crunchy.
The sweet hostess on the phone was wonderful as well! Great experience overall and a great price for GF food.
Really authentic Polish food! They have a huge selection of pierogi as well as other traditional food like stuffed cabbage. They also have a few gluten-free pierogi options which is hard to find. Owners are really friendly and welcoming. A new favorite!
Oh, my goodness, love it love it love it. All kinds of crepes, breakfast, sweet, not sweet, dairy free, gluten free, regular, everything! And of course the place. We love walking in this neighborhood for hours.
Kelly was an absolute rockstar. My friend and I are both gluten free and she made sure we had the best experience! We will definitely come back as long as she’s there!!
We had a fantastic meal at EYV, it's a fantastic addition to a neighborhood on the way up. Of course, everything on the menu was gluten free and my wife had many vegan options to choose from. The hummus fritters and the peroigis were our favorites, but everything we ordered was fantastic. Unpretentious. They serve Saratoga sparkling water.
If you're on a quest for a healthier lifestyle, Orange Avocado Juicery is your ultimate destination. Nestled in the heart of Squirrel Hill, this hidden gem is entirely vegan and gluten-free, offering a haven for clean eaters and anyone with dietary preferences that go beyond the norm.
From the moment you walk in, it's clear this place is more than just a juice shop. They offer a wide variety of cold-pressed bottled juices, made-to-order smoothies and bowls, and even guilt-free desserts. The best part? Everything is so incredibly delicious, you’d never guess it's all vegan and gluten-free.
I had the chance to sample a few things, and honestly – everything blew me away. Let’s start with the PB Blueberry Smoothie – a dreamy combo of bananas, blueberries, peanut butter, vanilla protein, and almond milk. No ice, just fresh ingredients blended into smooth, creamy perfection.
Then came dessert – the vegan peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. Absolutely insane. So rich and flavorful, you won’t miss the dairy one bit.
I also grabbed a couple of juices and a wellness shot to-go. The Immunity Shot (carrot, orange, lemon, ginger, turmeric, black pepper) was surprisingly tasty – the fruit flavors shine, and the black pepper is barely noticeable. As for the juices, I tried the Go Green (kale, cucumber, apple, lemon) and Bright Eyes (orange, carrot, ginger) – both were super fresh and vibrant.
They’ve also got cookies and grab-and-go options, perfect if you're in a rush but still want something nourishing.
Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just someone who enjoys clean, flavorful food, Orange Avocado Juicery hits the mark. It’s the kind of place where health-conscious meets flavor-forward – and you’ll leave feeling good in every way. Highly recommend!
I don't live near this shop, but my daughter does and really likes their pizza, so I've had them a few times.Its not "Pittsburgh style pizza" like you'll find on Murray Ave; the bottom crust is on the thin side and not quite so much cheese. The taste is good, and I'll bet the toppings are fresher and better quality than most places, but after it goes through a pizza oven I'm not sure that's really noticeable, and you pay for it in more $/slice. I've heard their vegan and gluten-free pies are very good, but I've only had their "regular" - I'm guessing those specialty pies are a big part of their business.
