Food Finders: Portland’s go-to gluten-free pizzerias
For Portlanders, the pizzerias have the fix for your fancy when it comes to gluten-free pies. Some well-known stops like Sizzle Pie and Pizzicato offer gluten-free crust options; here are six more stellar shops that cater to the art of gluten-free pizza making.
Warning: Unless otherwise noted, these pizzas may not be prepared in 100% gluten-free kitchens, so do call ahead if you’re unsure.
HOTLIPS Pizza
The Portland family-owned business has six locations across the metro area that offer a 12” inch pie made with gluten-free crust. They have an open kitchen, so cross-contamination is a risk; however, the freshness of heir locally-farmed toppings are much too difficult to pass on. hotlipspizza.com
Mississippi Pizza Pub
A one-of-a-kind aura and a perfect pie spot with family friendly live music, patio seating and, you guessed it: gluten-free crust! It is not a strictly gluten-free environment, but they prepare their g-free crust first thing in the morning before preparing anything containing wheat. mississippipizza.com
Blind Onion Pizza and Pub
Offering juicy, decadent toppings and gluten-free upgrades on their 12” and 16” inch pizzas, the dive-like atmosphere of the Blind Onion puts the “pizza” in pizzazz.

Bellagios Pizza
The Bellagio’s chain can be found all across the Portland metro area — from Tigard and Beaverton, to Oregon City and even Vancouver, Washington. They offer a can’t beat deal when you order multiple gluten-free pizzas, as you’ll get a notable discount on the second.
