Worried About Eating Gluten Free in Flagstaff?

Living a gluten free life doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your social life. Dining out with friends and family is a big part of being social, and eating challenges shouldn’t stop you from doing what everyone else is doing. It just means you need to be more aware and cautious about what you eat. If you’re looking for a delicious gluten free restaurant, Flagstaff is home to Pita Jungle, a Mediterranean eatery that understands that patrons come with various dietary needs and restrictions.

Flagstaff residents will find that Pita Jungle spells out all of our wheat-free menu items (as well as other allergens and dietary specifics) on a detailed, easy-to-read allergen chart. The Pita Jungle menu has plenty of appropriate choices for gluten free diners since we focus on using fresh, real ingredients including fruits, vegetables, red meat, chicken, fish, dairy products, beans, legumes and nuts, all of which are naturally gluten free!

It’s true that pita bread is a staple that goes along with many Middle Eastern dishes but even that problem is easily solved at Pita Jungle. Instead of dipping pita in hummus, simply ask your server for some corn tortilla chips instead! There are plenty of other delicious appetizers to try too, like our blue corn nachos with mixed beans, melted cheese and pico de gallo, or rice and tomato filled dolmades grape leaves. We’ve got many gluten free salads and entrees to choose from too, like our Yellowfin Tuna Salad, Caribbean Salad, Grilled Vegetable Salad, Broiled Chicken Salad, Wood Fired Salmon and Chicken Tikka Masala.

Visit Pita Jungle at our location on South Regent Street. We’re the restaurant, gluten free residents of Flagstaff come to for a healthy, hassle-free, feel good time!
