We are taking a vacation to Scottsdale Arizona this summer. I am trying to get a head start on planning all of this. Does anyone know of some good places to eat? I am told there are some resturaunts in the mall accrossed from our hotel but I don't know what resturaunts they have or if they have anything gluten-free? Thanks for your help!

Picazzo's Pizza

The BEST gluten free pizzeria in the West. They have tons of gluten free appetizers salads and desserts as well - its a Celiac paradise!

www.picazzos.com

Enjoy it like the rest of us out here!

Also, make sure you try In N Out Burger (order your double double burgers as "protein style with no sauce" and "cheesy fries well done" - this will direct them to make your double cheesburger in a lettuce wrap and to melt cheese over crispy fries - they have dedicated fryers)

The chef at the Sanctuary on Camelback mountain took very good care of me. It's a high end place, but it was great. You can Google them, they have a website.

When I was there, I ordered a second one to go, for later! LOL It was sssooooo good! We were leaving town after eating there, I didn't want to leave! Oh what i would give to be able to have a picazzos near by. Or even better just move to AZ, I love it there.

Picazzo's is definitely the best restaurant for Celiacs!! However, there are a lot of places in Scottsdale and the surrounding area that have great gluten free options. I have lived here for almost 4 years now and I have tried almost everywhere here is a list of my favorites:

Chevy's Mexican Restaurant: LARGE gluten free menu

Postinos Wine Cafe: No gluten free menu, but all ingredients are made from scratch...the salads are to die for

Bonefish Grill- in Mesa but worth the drive

Havana Cafe - Cuban food and the chef is very helpful

The Fish Market - Lots of options

AZ88 - no gluten free menu, but I have eaten there a ton of times with no problems...just talk to the server. The Salmon Chips are SOO good

PieZanos - gluten free pizza, deserts and salads

Caffe Boa: GREAT PLACE!!! It is on Mill Avenue in Tempe and they have amazing escargot, mozz/tom salad, lemon creamed artichokes..OH MY Goodness! You have to try

Gordon Biersch: also on Mill, has a great gluten free menu. The garlic fries and wedge salad are my favs!

I also work at The Seafood Market and Restaurant in Gilbert and if you ask for me I will make sure you have a great experience ( I have tons of Celiac regulars).

Plus there are Outbacks, PF Changs and PeiWei's all over the valley.

I hope this helps!

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?
    • Jmartes71
      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
