Embracing a gluten-free lifestyle, whether by necessity or choice, can be a transformative journey. As we step into the New Year, the resolution to nourish our bodies with gluten-free options is met with enthusiasm. In Bell County, we are fortunate to have a myriad of locally owned restaurants that not only cater to gluten-free needs but also elevate the dining experience.
Embarking on a gluten-free journey can be daunting, but Bell County's culinary landscape provides a welcoming start. As individuals with Celiac Disease understand, it's crucial to communicate your needs clearly and triple-check with the restaurant and server about potential cross-contamination risks.
Here's our favs that have gluten-free items or serve foods that are naturally gluten free:
Arepitas (try the Parrillita Bowl)
Bobby Lupo's NY Style Pizzeria Harker Heights and Belton (Gluten free crust available)
Early Light Creperie (Available for any crepes for a $2 upcharge. Call ahead as gluten free batter is made to order. If cross contamination is an issue, they have a separate crepe maker that takes 20-30 minutes to warm up.)
Fire Street Pizza (Gluten free crust is cauliflower crust and it is gluten reduced due to the flour in the kitchen)
Giovanni's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria (Gluten free pasta available)
Gogo's Treatery (Surprise Baker's Whim gluten free flavors available Tuesdays and Fridays)
