Call Between 2-4 pm

This list is not exhaustive, and at the same time is not meant to exhaust you! I received my Celiac Disease diagnosus almost 20 years, and I still realize questions I need to ask. Hopefully this list of questions can help guide you into having a safe and delicious dining experience.

In addition, I always suggest calling a restaurant prior to dining out. Ask staff how they accommodate those dining out gluten free, and use these questions as a guide. Restaurants generally experience a lull between 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock. Therefore, I suggest calling then.

Why does Republica choose to offer gluten free items? 

We are a family operated business, open since 2013. My mom and business partner lives with Celiac Disease. When we opened 11 years ago, there were very few restaurants offering gluten free options. (Other than a salad) We decided to be intentional in offering a wider selection of gluten free options on our made from scratch menu.

We maintain a peanut free kitchen. Many of our menu items can be made free from other allergens, by request. However, please understand that we do stock dairy, eggs, fish, etc in our kitchen.

We are not a certified gluten free kitchen. However, we have a dedicated gluten free fryer as well as a dedicated area to toast gluten free buns. All of our items cooked on the flat top are gluten free until they hit the bread, leaving little opportunity for cross contact.

Dedicated toaster/ waffle maker?

Are orders cooked in a clean pan vs shared griddle top? 

We prepare all gluten free orders in clean pans and/ or on a dedicated gluten free flat top.

We require all staff to be Serve Safe Trained. “The ServSafe Food Handler program is comprehensive and provides training on the following Intended Learning Outcomes: Basic Food Safety, Personal Hygiene, Cross-Contamination and Allergens, Time & Temperature, & Cleaning and Sanitation”

Do you have picks or special plates that denote a GF meal?

We do not serve gluten free meals on special plates, nor we use use allergen picks.

Who Owns Tru Pizza?

Many Michiganders know that Tru Pizza originally started in 2014 as Renee’s Gourmet Pizzeria. Opened in Troy by Gabe Hertz, he started the restaurant due to his daughter’s Eosinophilic Esophagitis, which prevented her from eating gluten and nuts.

In May 2019, Achille (Ace) DiNello purchased the business. He changed the name to Tru Pizza, but maintained the dedicated gluten free kitchen and menu. Since taking over the business, he has offered franchising options to independent owners to expand the brand.

Achille DiNello owns quite an impressive business portfolio. Aside from Tru Pizza, he also owns Melting Moments, New York Pizza Pie, and recently acquired Halo Burger in Flint and Cops & Donuts in 2026.

What’s On The Menu at Tru Pizza?

Despite the name, Tru Pizza serves more than just pizza. They also offer calzones, wraps, pasta, salad and even soups! Their menu also includes appetizers such as chicken wings and fries. Oh, and they offer both New York Thin Crust and Detroit Deep Dish pizzas.

Tru Pizza Locations

Troy – 1937 W Maple Rd Troy, MI 48084

The original restaurant is still owned by Achille. However, general manager Jake DeFisher runs the day to day operations. It’s located in the Cambridge Crossings Shops plaza.

You’ll find it on Maple Rd between Crooks Rd and Coolidge Hwy. It offers a dining room that seats up to 50 people. The original Troy location is open 7 days a week, and they offer delivery. Open Monday – Thursday 11 to 8:30 pm, Friday & Saturday 11 -9 pm , Sun 11 – 8 pm

Plymouth – 41116 Five Mile Rd Plymouth, MI 48170

This franchise location is owned and operated by the same family who owns and operates Rumi’s Passion. In fact, there is a walkway between the two locations so you can shop at the bakery while you wait for your order to be prepared!

This Plymouth Tru Pizza location operates mainly as a take out pizza business. The shop includes 3 tables for seating, and guests are welcome to sit at one of the tables at Rumi’s Passion during normal business hours. Open Tuesday through Saturday 11 am – 8 pm.

Wyandotte – 3144 Biddle Avenue Wyandotte, MI 48192

Anthony Cipolla opened the Tru Pizza Wyandotte franchise location in January 2026. For those familiar with the area, the business operates in the former Frank’s Family Pizzeria storefront.

Anthony is closing this location as of August 30th, 2026. It will transition into a different pizza place. While it will have gluten free options, it will not be a 100% dedicated gluten free business.

Food Truck – Pops Up at Various Locations

Anthony Cipolla opened the food truck in the summer of 2025. Someone within the Tru Pizza chain is looking to take over the food truck, as Anthony is leaving the Tru Pizza franchise.

Follow them on their Facebook and Instagram to see where they will be next. They often pop up for Detroit Street Eats and at the Eastern Market.

They maintain a smaller menu than the restaurants due to limited space. They offer breadsticks, 3 grilled wraps, 5 flavors of calzones and pizzas, and their popular cinnamon sticks and elephant ears.

Is the Menu the Same at all Locations?

As mentioned above, each location offers a version of the original menu. Each location uses the same Tru Dough recipe. However not all options are available at each location.

The Plymouth location offers pizza, fries, pasta, salads, wraps and elephant ears & cinnamon sticks for dessert. They are experimenting with wings & chicken strips, but they are not available just yet. They do not offer soup because Rumi’s Passion makes it next door.

Is their Menu Free from Other Food Allergens?

Tru Pizza uses no peanuts, sesame, or fish in any of their menu items. You can see their complete allergen list on the original Troy website. The allergen list discloses menu items that contain eggs, dairy, soy and corn.

A disclaimer on the Troy website states “*Vegan cheese uses coconut oil. Cake rolls and cookies are produced in another facility that may contain tree nuts and peanuts.”

What Type of Oil Do They Use for Cooking?

The Troy location and Plymouth location both use canola oil. The website for the Wyandotte locations claims they use “use 100% canola oil in all fryers. Chicken and dairy products are cooked in dedicated fryers separate from vegan items.”

Do They Have Vegetarian or Vegan Options?

The dough for their pizza and calzones contain no animal products. They offer vegan cheese for pizzas, calzones and pasta dishes.

Do They Have Dessert Options?

Yes! Tru Pizza is famous for their gluten free elephant ears and cinnamon sticks with frosting. The original location in Troy also offers a S’mores Pizza.

Do They Serve Alcohol?

No.

The Wyandotte locations offer a lunch combo from 11 am – 2 pm. Combo options include Two Slices of Pizza + Drink for $9.99 or a Chicken Wrap + Fries + Drink for $15.99.

Where is Ann Arbor?

Ann Arbor is a huge tourist destination in Michigan. Being the home of one of Michigan’s two Big Ten athletic teams, that brings a lot of visitors. In fact, the Ann Arbor Convention and Visitor’s Bureau estimates 5.6 million people visited there in 2014.

If we figure that 1% of the population has Celiac Disease, we could estimate that 50,000 people are in need of gluten-free dining options while in the area. So to help make your trip a little bit easier, here are my list of top Ann Arbor gluten-free restaurant suggestions. (Plus two dedicated gluten free bakeries!)

Zingerman’s Roadhouse

My first mention in my Ann Arbor gluten-free restaurant suggestions is Zingerman’s Roadhouse. Why? Because Zingerman’s is synonymous with the name Ann Arbor. The level of care that they take with their food prep is PHENOMENAL.

With dedicated fryers, toasters and waffle irons, it gives peace of mind while you’re enjoying your meal. I mean, look at those Bits & Grits Waffles?! I wish I had a plate of them right now. Or their a gluten-free fried chicken. Fried Chicken folks! While you’re in the area, make a pit stop at Plum Market across the street for Ethel’s Baking Company treats and other gluten-free goods.

Frita Batidos

I think I’m in love with Frita Batidos. Even though their “fritas” are served bunless for us gluten-free eaters, it may be the most delicious beef patty I’ve ever tasted. Did I mention that their beef is locally sourced?  Their signature fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. That’s a huge thing for those of us with Celiac Disease.

Their batido milkshakes are wonderful. I could eat my weight in their cajeta, which is made-in-house salted goat’s milk caramel. Cover one of their sweet deep-fried plantains in the stuff and you’ll never want to leave. Add rum to their batidos and it truly is a happy hour. 

Condado Tacos

I’ve visited three different Condado Taco locations, and have had amazing meals every time. The majority of their menu is gluten free, and they have great protocols in place for dietary restrictions. Plus they’re a peanut free and nut free restaurant. Read my review. 

Juicy Kitchen

Ann Arbor is a place with many eclectic flavors and attention to healthy eats. Juicy Kitchen focuses fresh, local food with options for all kinds of eaters. Gluten-free? Check. Vegetarian? Check. Vegan? Yep, that’s covered too.

This delicious gluten-free stuffed French toast is cooked on a dedicated griddle with clean utensils and bowls. Cooks never share the egg wash from the regular French Toast. I highly suggest taking a bite with a bit of strawberry. 

Core Life Eatery

The Core Life Eatery chain recently opened a new location in Ann Arbor. Apart from the bread made off site, everything at Core Life contains no gluten ingredients. You can create your own bowl, or order one of their popular entrees. They also feature some pretty amazing beverages, including hot bone broth.

Anna’s House

This chain of restaurants originally started in Grand Rapids, and opened the Ann Arbor Anna’s House location in 2019. Gluten free meals are prepared in a dedicated prep space with dedicated utensils. While any meal here is stellar, their gluten free breakfast options are phenomenal. Pictured above is their breakfast lasagna.

Buddy’s Pizza

Buddy’s Pizza has many locations across Michigan, including one on Ann Arbor- Saline Rd. Read more about this business in my review.

Tasty Bakery

This 100% gluten free bakery serves up treats at their storefront, and at the Kerrytown Market. Customers also enjoy their treats at local Sweetwater coffee shop locations. To learn more about this unique confectionery, read my interview with Tasty Bakery.

Nirit’s Bakery

This Cottage Law business, Nirit’s Bakery, sells at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market. Everything they make is gluten, dairy, soy and nut free. 

Blank Slate Creamery

Blank Slate Creamery is an ice cream icon in Ann Arbor. They make all of their own ice cream, and many flavors are gluten free. Gluten Free flavors are clearly labeled. 

Blom Meadworks

Blom Meadworks sells naturally gluten free, alcoholic mead. They often have gluten free snack options, too. 

Other Ann Arbor Gluten-Free Restaurant Suggestions

1. Paesano’s
I’ve heard lots of great things about Paesano’s over the years. A friend recently had dinner there, and enjoyed gluten free pasta and even tiramisu! They even serve gluten free bread. I need to return to Ann Arbor just to visit this restaurant. 

2. Pilar’s Tamales
Pilar’s Tamales is a small Salvadoran restaurant on Liberty St. Corn flour comprises the base of almost every item on the menu. They do make a few non gluten-free desserts. I highly suggest the pupusas stuffed with cheese and loroco flower.

3.  Miki Japanese Restaurant
My friend Jen Burch, from Blue Bear Aware, highly recommended this Ann Arbor gluten-free restaurant option to me. The biggest issue for any Asian restaurant is the presence of wheat in soy sauce. She reports that Miki offers gluten-free soy sauce for their dishes. If you get a chance to eat there safely, report back so I know!

4. Totoro

If you’re in the mood for sushi, Totoro has many gluten free sushi options. Gluten free options notated on menu.

5. Stadium Market
Stadium Market isn’t really a restaurant. It’s a party store with a functional kitchen, selling gluten-free pizza and breakfast sandwiches Again, Find Me Gluten-Free has many reviews about this place. I sought the advice of Valarie Mates, the moderator of the online Gluten-Free Ann Arbor Yahoo Group.

She said that it’s “awesome.” Stadium Market reportedly has many gluten-free beers, and sells a selection of Udi’s products. If you can attest to their steps for preventing cross-contact, please let me know!

6. Salt Springs Brewery

Salt Springs Brewery is located in Saline, which is just outside of Ann Arbor. While I have not personally eaten there, I’ve been told they have a dedicated gluten free fryer for fried fish. However, I would check with wait staff before ordering, just to make sure. 

Final Reminders about Eating Gluten Free in Ann Arbor

As always, I suggest calling restaurants prior to dining to ask about gluten free food preparation practices. This allows you to get the best information without staff being distracted during a food rush. Luckily, Ann Arbor is a forward thinking city and there are plenty of options. You can even eat safely at University of Michigan dining commons! And last I knew, there’s a gluten free stand at the football field. 

Where do you look to eat in Ann Arbor? Leave me a note and I’ll be sure to check them out!

**In full disclosure, I was provided free meals at some of these establishments, but that does change my views or my comments.**

Brinstar – Video Game Arcade + Bar and Grill

I had the pleasure of chatting with Brinstar’s owner, Belle Fawcett. I asked her why she chose to open a restaurant with arcade games. She replied “My boyfriend liked beer and video games. And thought other people do too.” She was right, because they keep pretty busy. Read my blog post to learn more about what this unique eatery has to offer.

Why do you choose to offer gluten free options at Brinstar? 

I dined with friends and family who have dietary restrictions. I noticed how often gluten free and vegan options simply didn’t exist for them. At our restaurant, I wanted to make sure customers didn’t feel left out.

In addition, I realize that offering safe gluten free options isn’t just a “trend.” People rarely eat out by themselves. By offering gluten free options, we allow families and friends to enjoy each other in community, like everyone else. We’ve even been asked to provide food for local conferences, when their kitchen staff didn’t have options for guests.

Is your menu also free from any other allergens?

We offer Impossible meat for burgers and dairy free cheese for our vegan customers.

What kind of oil do you use for frying/ cooking?

We cook all our gluten free fried foods in soybean oil.

Do you have a separate gluten free menu? 

All gluten free menu items are noted on our main menu. We offer Udi’s buns for gluten free burgers. Out kitchen maintains a dedicated fryer for fresh cut french fries, chicken strips and our homemade falafel. We offer gluten free gravy for our poutine. Most days we prepare at least one gluten free soup.

What steps do you take to prevent cross contact in the kitchen?

While we don’t have a separate gluten free prep space, we take pretty strict precautions. We cook gluten free orders in a separate pan instead of using the flat top. Staff know to change gloves, use separate cutting boards, and grab different utensils. We store all gluten free stuff ingredients on top shelves, to prevent cross contact with gluten from other items

What training do your staff receive on preparing GF meals safely? 

Not only do I train my staff on all the steps to safely prepare a gluten free order, I also train them on WHY it’s important. Again, we know this is not just a fad. The staff here really take it to heart, and are proud of the gluten free food we serve. You can often hear them shout out allergy orders in the kitchen, and they know the steps to take.

I also maintain separate “cheat sheets” near the kitchen. One list includes all of our gluten free options. Staff know to double check that list if they’re unsure or have questions.

Do you have picks or special plates that denote a GF meal?

We don’t currently use special plates or picks for gluten free meals. The gluten free buns look very different than standard buns.

What’s your most popular gluten free menu item?

Our gluten free chicken tenders are pretty popular with our gluten free clients. We offer some great burgers too.

Do you offer gluten free beer or hard cider?

We maintain a full bar, and offer many gluten free alcohol options. We serve Neff gluten free beer, Unity Vibration Hard Kombucha, B. Nectar Mead and Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

Do you have patio seating? Are dogs allowed outside? 

While we do have some seating outside where you can dine, we don’t take orders or serve guests outside. (It’s a licensing issue.)

In the summer, Downtown Midland blocks off a section of Main St, from Ashman to Rodd street. The Commons Pedestrian Plaza offers tables and even outdoor games for the whole family. Customers often order their meal to go and enjoy the outdoors with their family. During the summer months, one can attend many free concerns in that area.

What unique events do you have at your restaurant?

We offer Pinball tournaments on Mondays, and Trivia on Wednesdays. Brinstar offers Bingo as well. As we share on our Facebook page, “escape the insanity of the “real world” and enjoy quality time with family and friends in a fun and entertaining atmosphere.” We suggest calling to reserving a table on Trivia nights, because it’s really popular.

What add’l things would you like my followers to know about your Brinstar?

We offer what I proudly call “Kids Happy Hour.” During Spring Break and all Summer long, we offer $5 kids meals from 11 am to 4 pm. Kids meals options include your choice of choose chicken strips (gluten free), grilled cheese* or hot dog* with fries and hot chocolate, Sprite, Barq’s root beer or Coke. (*not gluten free). We sometimes offer it during other holidays as well.

Do you have parking on premises? Any tips on traveling to your Brinstar? 

While customer parking is available along Main St, we suggest using public parking lots. You can find parking lots near us on the Downtown Midland Parking article. As far as traveling to our restaurant, we’re about 4 miles from US-10, and less than a mile from the Midland Loons Dow Stadium.

Other Places to Visit in Midland, Michigan

As mentioned above, we’re close to the Midland Loons Minor League Baseball Stadium. We highly recommend visiting the Midland Center of the Arts, and the canopy walk at Dow Gardens. Make sure to visit Off the Wheaten Path, Midland’s own dedicated gluten free bakery!
