Alamo Drafthouse

Eat here quite regularly when I attend movies. They have cauliflower-crust you can sub on the pizza and gluten-free bun for burgers. No dedicated fryer but chips & queso can be subbed for fries. Never gotten sick! Just let me know you are Celiac when you order. They have a separate prep area.

Have taken our Celiac daughter here many times. She likes the gluten free cheese pizza, no reactions. Also you know it’s a gluten free pizza by the shape of the pan—GF crust is always on a square plate, whereas the regular pizzas come on a round plate.

We also like bottomless popcorn with butter (real clarified butter). Always a win.

For anyone who’s had trouble with Alamo before—I recommend getting there at least 20 min before showtime so you have a chance to talk to your waiter.

A very limited number of options, but I’ve had fine experiences ordering the gf pizza and grilled chicken sandwich with gf bread. I never eat the fries though so either swap it for salad or let your companion eat the fries. With the pizza I had a very nice waiter once tell me the gluten free ones will always come in a square tin while the regular will be circular. This has made me feel much more at ease since both versions are thin and difficult to tell apart otherwise, especially in the dark. I also had herb parmesan popcorn many times without issues.

Whomp whomp. Asked the waiter if he gets people with GF allergies often and he confidently said ‘yes’! I asked if the popcorn was GF and he said he didn’t know but he probably should. Made no effort past that. Strike 1. Then I asked if the fryer was dedicated and if there was any reason to be concerned that the fryer was used for anything else. He said no and he would make sure to add lots of exclamation marks to the note for the kitchen. Then he asked how to spell gluten. Strike 2. Meal came out and my fries were on the same plate as the gluten bread burger that my boyfriend ordered. We had ordered separately. Strike 3. Did not eat and I fully have no confidence they know what is safe. Lucky for me, I know the red flags and simply enjoyed the movie.

Awful experience. I thought the pizza looked weird so I asked the waitress if she was sure it was gluten free and she said yes. I took a bite and immediately realized there was gluten in the crust and tried to spit it out but it was enough to trigger a reaction. She came back after I’d taken that bite to say no, there’d been a mistake and it wasn’t gf (yeah I know.) the kicker? They still charged me. Avoid eating here - there are restaurants right outside the theater that are much better at gluten safety if you’re hungry before a movie.
