Pigeon Forge Deli

Super happy to stumble on this place. It's literally moms making great sandwiches. They noted allergy straight on my order and have a dedicated space. I wish they were opened Sundays so we could have went back before our trip ended

Loved Pigeon Forge Deli! We tried the club sandwich. The deli has delicious GF buns and prepares GF sandwiches in a dedicated area.

I found this Deli on this GF site. The customer service is amazing! The servers know and understand GF and have a dedicated area for food prep. I had the roast beef sandwich and it was just like you made it at home. I will definitely make the 45 min drive to be back. ✨ Thank you Pigeon Forge Deli!! ✨

The bread was delicious! It was so soft! But it does come unfortunately at the high price of gluten free. You have to add $4 to make it gluten free. I would come again. Even on the menu it tells you they will make it in a separate area for you.

I have celiac disease and was looking for a good place to eat on vacation that my family and I would enjoy. This was the perfect place! I’ve tried a lot of gluten free bread and the bread here was by far the best I’ve ever had. They prepare the gluten free food in a separate area so there’s so chance of cross contamination. All you have to do is ask for gluten free bread and they’ll ask you if you have an allergy or not. I would definitely recommend coming here to eat!

Didn't react to gluten, but that was the only pro. Limited options unless you like deli meat such as ham and salami. Chicken salad was dry and unpleasant. The "gluten free option" is a bad gf bun half the size of their regular sandwich, with a $4 upcharge!

The pot roast sandwich was wonderful. It’s served on an Udi’s burger bun. The ladies were knowledgeable and took the time to show me the individually wrapped buns. The place is tucked away in an alley in the shopping center so definitely take the time to find it.

Wow - these sandwiches are good. I’ve had many of their options, my favorite is the Chub. Loaded with meat, on an Udi’s or similar style bun. On the expensive side - $21 for a combo, but worth it due to the quality ingredients.

Enjoyed a wonderful soup and sandwich lunch. The half sandwich on a gluten-free bun was loaded with fresh deli meat, cheese, etc. The tomato soup was the best. Spoke personally with the owner. She was very aware of my concerns with ingredients and food preparation to provide a gluten-free meal. Will certainly visit this deli on my next trip to Pigeon Forge.

I never leave reviews, in fact this may be my first time. This place is so yummy. They have a ton of GF options and are very careful to avoid cross contamination. I had a cheesesteak sandwich (it’s been 20+ years since I had one) and I am telling you… I still dream about it. These little old ladies are adorable which is just an added bonus. Definitely worth it. If you are celiac, this is a true gem!

This place was delicious! I have celiac and didn't have a reaction. This lady only focused on my sandwich while another lady did my husband and son's order (whom aren't GF) they use Udi white Bread (very soft) I Had the turkey pastrami with coleslaw and it was so so good.

I have celiac and this place was amazing. When we walked in, the woman behind the counter asked if there were any allergies. I told her I have celiac and she listed the very few items I wouldn’t be able to have (which were only three items). The gluten free bun was AMAZING! Highly recommend!!

Awesome experience at this deli! Person taking the order asks if you have an allergy or sensitivity. I spoke with the ladies behind the counter about preparation, and one lady was making the GF sandwiches in a dedicated area, grabbing sandwich fixings straight from the fridge. I felt very safe here as a sensitive celiac. I got the Chub which was outstanding. They do not toast the bread but warm it up. Five stars for this deli!

I got an Italian sub on a gluten free bun. When I ordered she made sure she did my order specifically and did it in a clean area. They were very knowledgeable and also so sweet. The nice young man checking us out didn’t even want to touch the pen that I had to use to sign the check because he had just had a “gluten sandwich”. Such a great place!

I enjoyed a fabulous sandwich at this restaurant today! Hot turkey and cheese on a warm, soft GF bun. You can watch the staff prepare your meal. They immediately changed gloves and utensils when I went in, and I had no belly trouble later! I would highly recommend! 4 star rating due to lack of size items. Try it out! You won't regret it! Look for alternate reviews on Trip Advisor.

Update - we’ve went several more times and it’s always delicious!! Never makes me sick!! Expensive, but worth it!

My husband and I are always on the hunt for a delicious sandwich that the bread doesn’t crumble in your hand. The sandwich bread is so delicious we actually ordered two extra sandwiches for dinner and then went back the next day to get more. I highly recommend making a special trip if you’re in the area.

Great sandwich place. They took care and caution to change their gloves when preparing my sandwich.

I saw all the reviews and wanted to give it a try. It was just ok, not a very clean or nice place to eat in. I think you could do better at another place.....

Excellent! They have a separate area for gf prep and they understand cross-contamination. Almost anything on the menu can be prepared GF. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is a place where we could relax and feel comfortable that our meal was gf. Highly recommend!

BEST GF SANDWICH EVER! These folks are welcoming and accommodating, they made my sandwich on a GF bun and everything was grilled on a separate grill. Such nice people and such great food!
