The Best Gluten-Free Pizza in Chicago

Being gluten-free in a pizza-loving city can be a challenge – but it’s getting easier. More restaurants in Chicago are offering gluten-free pizza, and I found a few that are delicious.

Here are the five best gluten-free pizzas I’ve found in Chicago.

Check them out and let me know if you’ve found others that should make the list. Note: Be sure to ask your server about cross contamination if you’re following a strict gluten-free diet. 

#1 Chicago's Pizza - Multiple North Side locations 
3114 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
The secret gluten-free pizza dough recipe at Chicago's Pizza rivals the restaurant's original crust. It can be used to create any kind of pizza -- even deep dish! I suggest ordering the deep dish Spinach Special. Chicago's Pizza even makes gluten-free calzones and stuffed pizza with buttery, flaky crust. Also, if you get the late-night munchies, they will deliver on Fridays and Saturdays until 3:00 am.
Price: $13-$18 for a small thin crust

#2 Francesca’s on Chestnut
- Gold Coast
200 E. Chestnut Street, Suite C 100, Chicago, IL 60611
Francesca’s offers a variety of rustic Italian cuisine, and you can get their margarita pizza gluten free. This is the only gluten-free pizza option, but with the fresh basil and a generous amount of sauce -- it ’s pretty good. Francesca’s has a few locations, but the Gold Coast location has a downstairs area, and that’s where I like to eat. The cozy brick setting makes you feel like you are dining in someone’s wine cellar. If you prefer a more formal “white tablecloth” scene, sit on the main level.
Price: $11

#3 Tre soldi - Streeterville
212 E Ohio St, Chicago, IL 60611
A block away from Michigan Avenue is Tre Soldi, a Roman-inspired restaurant. It offers 14 different kinds of gluten-free pizza and gluten-free pasta. I’m a huge fan of the funghi pizza, which includes mushrooms, black truffles, and Cacio de Roma (semi-soft cheese made from goat’s milk.) Tre Soldi offers outdoor seating when the weather is nice.
Price: $17 for lunch, $19 for dinner.

#4 Lou Malnati’s - Multiple downtown locations
439 North Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60654
If you’re visiting Chicago, odds are whoever you’re with wants to eat deep-dish pizza, and while you cannot get gluten-free deep-dish, you can still eat at Chicago’s famous pizzerias like Lou Malnati’s.  If you’re a fan of sausage, you can get a “crustless” pizza, which uses a sausage patty as the base. I prefer the “Lou” which has gluten-free crust and veggies.
Price: $15-$17.50 for a small

#5 Girodano’s - Multiple downtown locations
130 E Randolph, Chicago, IL 60601
Giordano’s gluten-free pizza is so good, my gluten-eating friends even say it’s delicious! Giordano’s is another famous spot for Chicago’s deep-dish pizza, but their gluten-free options are so tasty there’s no need to be jealous. This location is across the street from Millennium Park, but there are other downtown locations including at Navy Pier and the Gold Coast.
Price: $15-$17.50 for a small

By the way, in the video above, I showcase five gluten-free pizzas in Chicago. However, since recording the video, Osteria La Madia in River North closed its doors --  after a decade of serving delicious gluten-free pizzas! Still, there are plenty of places for a great gluten-free pie in Chicago, so I hope you find something to satisfy your craving.

Chicago museums are starting to reopen as we enter Chicago museums are starting to reopen as we enter stage four! 🙌 This photo was taken at @msichicago not long before lockdown. I was so happy to show Theo some of Chicago’s gems! 💎 Personally, I won’t be rushing back to anything indoors, but I’m glad to see things reopening and hope it can be done safely. By the way, @msichicago is expected to reopen this summer and you can get tickets now for @shedd_aquarium and @lincolnparkzoo. 🦥 What will you do now that we’re in stage four?

Millennium Park is open again and today I stopped Millennium Park is open again and today I stopped by between doctor appointments (which I had been putting off!).You are supposed to wear masks in the park but there’s basically no one here so I found this spot to enjoy a quick lunch by myself. Today is the first time I left my baby with a sitter and the longest time I have been away from him. 😭 He is in good hands though. Poor guy hardly knows anyone but Kam and me. We kept him to ourselves the first 8 weeks of his life because we were scared of the flu. Then as soon as we felt ready to share him, Coronavirus hit! 🤦‍♀️

The case involved Mildred and Richard Loving who were arrested in Virginia for their interracial marriage. This case is a reason so many mixed-race families exist today. 💙 #lovingday #lovingday2020 📸: @fabiolacaravaphotography
