Best gluten-free restaurants in Auckland
3 venues in Auckland rated S to B for coeliac · gluten-free, every tier backed by cited sources.
100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen: owner states 'our kitchen is only prepare, cook and serve gluten free goodies' and that 'we also built our own kitchen with brand new cooking equipment, utensils, plates, cutlery and cook ware. ' A dedicated fryer is confirmed by a reviewer. Chef Vivi trains staff in gluten allergy knowledge. Dozens of symptomatic and asymptomatic coeliac reviewers report zero reactions across many visits and multiple years. One reviewer (2 years ago) noted oat milk used in coffee on a separate frother; a second reviewer (9 months ago) flagged a since-deleted Instagram post in which the venue labelled oats as 'GF' — a designation not permitted under Coeliac NZ's position statement. Neither concern produced a documented glutening incident, but particularly sensitive coeliacs should ask directly about current oat practices.
Giapo's own website repeatedly states it operates a '100 percent gluten free kitchen,' producing gelato, ice cream, pizza, sandwiches, lasagne, meatballs, bakery items and desserts onsite. Multiple travel blogs corroborate that gluten-free options are available, though none independently verify the fully-dedicated kitchen claim.
Insider-led: multiple verified-coeliac reviewers report the chef/owner Rocco has direct personal experience with coeliac disease (a coeliac partner, ex-girlfriend, and family member), and one of the owners is reportedly coeliac. Kitchen uses a separate stand mixer, Caputo flour, dedicated prep areas, and 'other dedicated equipment' with glove changes. Menu is allergen-marked and most dishes can be made GF (pizza, pasta, bread/buns, tiramisu, gelato). However, the kitchen is not dedicated: GF pizzas share the wood-fired oven with gluten pizzas (cooked on a tray) and there is no dedicated fryer.
Honest caveat, GF pizzas are baked in the same oven as gluten pizzas (cooked on a tray), and one coeliac diner reported being sick after eating here.
