The team at Square Pie Guys knows how to provide a gluten-free undercarriage that even evil pizza villain Dave Portnoy would give a gold star. Head here for a wide array of options, rotating partnerships, and a not-too-crazy price point. The restaurant makes it easy: when ordering online, punch the gluten-free button for $3 and, for the dairy-free, $2.10 for that button, too.

Delarosa (which holds two SF locations, in the Marina at 2175 Chestnut Street and at 37 Yerba Buena Lane downtown), offers a gluten-free crust for any of its Roman-style pizzas for an extra $3. Those who aren’t in a pizza mood can also dine from their gluten-free pasta menu, which includes items made with GF pappardelle, paccheri, or casareccia.

In summer 2024, one year after  Flour + Water Pizzeria set up shop in a huge Columbus Avenue location, chef Ryan Pollnow and chef de cuisine Elliott Armstrong rolled out a Sicilian-style pie as good as any with wheat in the crust. This is a smart option for those with highly sensitive celiac diners in the group; Pollnow set up the backend with his sister and mom, who have celiac disease, in mind.

Presidio’s gluten-free crusts come from Mariposa Baking Company, an Oakland bakeshop that’s attracted a loyal following for its GF goods. Presidio’s gluten-free pizzas clock in at 12 inches, making them the smallest pies on the menu. (Better order two just to be safe.) The move here is likely to prioritize it for its late-night options: on Friday and Saturday, the kitchen is open until 2 in the morning.

A hit with the post-kids-athletic-event crowd, Giorgio’s offers a host of pizza styles, including a 9- or 13-inch Udi’s gluten-free option that can be topped with a panoply of fixings, including — for the dairy avoiders in the group — Daiya vegan cheese.

The remaining Little Star location in San Francisco offers 12-inch gluten-free thin crusts, courtesy of Mariposa Baking Company. One can go full vegan here, too, with lots of veggie options and toppings. It’ll cost an extra $5 for this one.

A Cole Valley landmark, Bambino’s senza glutine pizza (that’s just “gluten free” in Italian) is a personal-sized pie that comes with pizza sauce and mozzarella. The restaurant has over 30 toppings that can be added to that creation, but be warned: Some of those fixings might have come in contact with flour as they make their way through the kitchen, so those with strict dietary needs should stick with cheese.

This could be San Francisco’s only dedicated Indian pizza places with gluten-free options. That’s a stat likely to change any day, but when the business opened in early 2024 it was a little revolution for allergen-friendly eaters curious to try achari chicken pies. The crusts come thin, cauliflower, or classic, $4 or $3 extra respectively, and both are 12-inch only.

At all three of Goat Hill’s SF locations (300 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill, 171 Stillman Street in SoMa, and 170 West Portal Avenue), those who eschew gluten can order any of their classic pies with a thin, gluten-free crust. Hungry diners might want to grab two, though, as the GF option (an additional $5) is only available for medium-size pizzas.

Gialina offers a gluten-free crust for any of its Neapolitan-style, thin-crust pizzas for an additional $2. The pies here are no slouching affair, not that any of the options on this list are. Lamb pizza is one of the house favorites, a sultry affair with sumac-spiced meat and tahini yogurt. You can purchase a gluten-free crust to bake your own at home, too, for $10.
