Not to fear — below are some restaurants in Jersey City that have gluten-free options — both super accommodating for your dietary needs and amazing food, minus the gluten…from breakfast all the way to happy hour.

John’s Pizzeria {87 Sussex Street}

Located in the Paulus Hook section of town on Sussex Street, John’s has awesome gluten-free personal pizzas that are big enough {and then some} for 1 person, made using John’s own dough — so no frozen stuff that’s just been re-heated {note: the pizzas are cooked in the same oven as regular pizza, but can be cooked on a separate pan at your request}. So pile on the yummy toppings and relish in the true pizza experience you’ve been dreaming about since you cut gluten out of your diet.

Two Boots {133 Newark Avenue}

A great place for a night out, the numerous gluten-free options off Amelia’s extensive menu are particularly on-point. The very helpful wait staff will identify all gluten-free items on their menu {as well as items that can be made GF}, including their delectable selection of GF crostinis and the chicken tikka masala meatballs, which you must try. Amelia’s also has a large selection of entrees for your dietary needs and, if you are still hungry for dessert, they’ll make you a pretty rad ice cream sundae if you ask.

Roman Nose {125 Newark Avenue}

Arguably one of the best places to get Italian in downtown Jersey City, Roman Nose also offers gluten-free pasta, which can be ordered for any one of their enjoyable dishes {just double check that the other ingredients in the dish are also gluten-free}. The servers here will make sure to ask if there is a gluten allergy present and cook all pasta in separate, gluten-free cookware.
