Lobster pizza? GF, yes please!!!!
Super food, drinks are killer and waves crashing 5 feet from us.
We will be back!
Celiac here—I have safely eaten here twice. Seaside Cafe’ offers both sandwiches and pizza GF. They take extra precautions with cross contamination if you are celiac. The pizza was delicious! No reaction. Fun atmosphere overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. We will be back!
It was ok, difficult for dairy free though.

Excellent gluten free pizza. I am celiac and had no issue. Great view and atmosphere. Highly recommend.
I tried 2 of their gluten free pizzas, and they were both delicious!! The staff were helpful and knowledgable. There was only outside seating which was very pretty. The seagulls were all around, but luckily didn’t steal any of the food. I was really pleased with the pizza, and I didn’t have any reactions!!
Yummy. I had the GF cauliflower pizza crust with pepperoni and a tiny bit of cheese. It was probably one of my favorite GF pizza’s in the USA. And I was happy they actually listened to my request for super lite cheese too.
I had no reaction to it.
I had the Wood-Fired Prosciutto Caprese sandwich with side salad. We also ordered a traditional GF pizza with pepperoni. I was very impressed with the side salad- it had candied pecans in it. Everything was delicious!
Best GF pizza I have ever had. The bottom of the crust was actually crispy. My mom and I both have celiac and neither of us got sick. She and I both always feel like the GF crust just sucks up the sauce and they are usually on drier side, well Seaside actually puts the sauce neatly on top of cheese and between the crispy bottom crust and the pizza being saucy it was best ever.
Awesome! Pizza cooked in a separate pan, we split the lobster pizza and it was great. They also double checked everything in the froze key lime pie drink for me and it was all gluten free, very good
What a great experience we had at the bar! Ricky is a one man band at the bar, he kills it! His drinks are fantastic and he was great with Gluten Free! I am celiac and they can make any pizza Gluten Free! We had the cheese with pepperoni and it was amazing!!! They also have GF sandwiches as well! They are known for their Mojitos!! Seaside Cafe is a must if your Gluten Free!
Absolutely incredible!!! I am severely celiac and the waiter was so accommodating and knowledgeable! They let me know ahead of time that there is a chance for cross contamination but they take precautions. I have ate the lobster pizza twice since being in the keys!! Never had a reaction, the best pizza ever!!!!
The Duvall St corn pizza is fabulous! Crust was obviously gluten free, but decent. It doesn’t taste/have aftertaste of typical cauliflower crust. It’s cooked in its own pan, but in the same oven. Nice spot right on the beach.
Marked on the menu what I can have. Had the Duval Street Corn pizza (server said it was her favorite). It was delicious
I had a gluten free pizza and had a cross contamination reaction that night. Not safe for celiac, but they really did try to keep everything isolated for me... It tasted great but I won't be going back.
Server warned that there can be cross contamination as food is from a food truck, but said that they try to be careful. Separate tray used for GF pizza. Pizza was good!
Got a gluten free pizza, it was delicious! I hope to order another before I leave town.
Yessss. After many frustrating meals in Key West we finally landed at this place. Our waiter was a sweetheart, readily understood what we were talking about, assured us that the pizza could be prepped on a separate pan, and steered us away from the ice cream because of cross contamination. It's a win.
Amazing view and beautiful location, they are attentive, the wait staff is great and seems knowledgeable. My wife and I shared pepperoni pizza and prosciutto Caprese sandwich and I had a celiac reaction almost immediately. I’m sorry to say this place is not safe for celiacs.
My parents and I shared the gf caprese sandwich (with gf pizza crust used as sandwich bread) & the corn pizza. Both were delicious! The pizza was definitely the favorite but I’d order both again in a heartbeat. Also cool side note, our server Enrique makes the hot sauce (“Bones Guy" hot sauce) bottles at the tables! I found it awesome that the restaurant supports the locally-made business of one of its employees. Plus the hot sauce is delicious 👌🏻
Even my celiac daughter said the best pizza she has ever had! We definitely suggest this place!
My coeliac son says “Best pizza he’s ever had” and he’s had GF pizza in at least 10 different countries.
Loved the pizza so much we are definitely going back before we go home! Had the gf lobster pizza and the hot and honey gf pizza!
Food was so good. Not a huge menu selection overall, but great GF options. And again, so good. Awesome pizza and salads.
great gluten free pizza with a spectacular view
Asked waiter about cross contamination and he said it was contaminated. Host thought the cooks didn’t use separate pizza cutter. Left without eating. Also I asked to talk to chef but waiter didn’t offer to get him
We got here every time in Key West! Always good and always safe!
My daughter has celiac and we can never find a good pizza place! But this was the best pizza she has ever had. We will definitely come back! The owner was great and very accommodating!
Excellent gf pizza! Met owner and son. Very awesome people! Best dinner on the key. Highly recommend
Dedicated GF
Is there a gluten-free menu?
- — Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
Wow! The waitress was very knowledgeable and made me feel very safe! The Lobster pizza is a must try!
They were knowledgeable, warning of cross contamination for the fries, and friendly. They pizzas were surprisingly delicious. The drinks were good.
Actually delicious pizza!!! And it's the same size as the "normal" pizza!!! 6 slices!!! You never get that when you're gf. The waitress was great at answering my questions and the seaside dining can't be beat. We watched pelicans diving for their own dinner while we are ours.
Go here for pizza :)
This was our first stop upon arriving from the airport. The lobster pizza was awesome! I’d go again. The staff took care to make sure we were happy. Upon leaving, the owner thanked us for coming. It was a perfect meal with the ocean/bay right there. We were on the water’s edge. Highly recommended.
-Beach Side tables and a lovely experience-
We stopped by after reading reviews in this app that they had gluten free pizzas and sandwiches. We met the restaurant manager/owner who was so attentive and kind. We had a lovely lunch overlooking the water (outside but all shaded with fans) and cocktails. We had the GF lobster pizza which was tasty - had a buttery thin crust with garlic and cheese. We enjoyed the pizza a lot and it was SAFE.
My daughter (not GF) enjoyed her shrimp and had a great time too.
Would recommend! They do use a shared kitchen space, but they take extensive precautions to keep things safe and separate. I felt comfortable eating here. Sensitive Celiac - no reaction - hope to visit again soon! ❤
The view was amazing and the food delicious. They have gluten free options marked in the menu. I recommend ordering the pizza. Sandwiches come in a pizza crust.
Best GF pizza I’ve ever had paired with great service for a 10 out of 10 experience. Lots of gf options on the menu.
Gluten free lobster pizza was amazing; however, there was a ton of garlic. I had awful heartburn (which I rarely get)
Had the lobster pizza and a mojito without the rock candy bc I wasn’t sure about it. It was incredible and I did not get sick. Sensitive Celiac My order took a little longer bc the kitchen remade my pizza 3 times because they cross contaminated it the first 2 times. Appreciated the dedication to keeping me safe. Our waitress dad had celiac so she was awesome!
Get the lobster pizza with gf crust. It is so good!!! And you can’t beat the view.
The GF lobster pizza was amazing. Staff went over precautions and we had a great experience.
Please note: this is not a dedicated gluten free restaurant.
This is the most delicious gluten free pizza in Key West! I was so happy to find such a place in Key West! Highly recommended! Even my friends who didn’t require gluten free tasted the pizza and they loved it!. The truffle fries were awesome too and the views from the Southern Most Point in the USA are stunning! We will be back for sure ❤❤❤
Great gluten free optics for our daughter!!! She was in heaven!!
Dedicated GF
I ordered a pizza paid the 4$ up charge to make it gluten free and I’m pretty sure it was cross contaminated. My server was great but the manager was aggressive with getting my order in; and I think the whole thing was rushed. Now I’m buckled in pain — good times!
Went there today. Staff was nice but got told cross contamination would be a problem for everything but for salads so I didn’t take a chance. I’m surprised by the previous reviews as we went there because people said it was very safe. It’s basically a food truck. My family had the 4 cheese and prosciutto pizza and said it was good. I enjoyed a mojito and the key lime cider (called a beer by the waitress). The views is nice.
Best gluten free pizza we have ever had! Great view, great food!
I stayed at the southernmost guest house for a week and man… was this an amazing option to have by the pool! The pizza was pretty solid, sandwiches were a gf pizza crust being used for a panini. They also had the local key lime cider to drink which I was surprised not many places in Key West carry. Would definitely recommend.
Michael the owner is amazing! Food and service was fabulous and quick. They have the best GF pizza. Our 1st time in Key West and was looking for key lime pie and conch fritters and they got both. The mansion tour was incredible and priceless!
Dedicated GF
Oh.my.goodness! The food is soooo good. Had the caprese panini and it was delish! Daughter had a GF pizza and it was equally as good. The staff is very knowledgeable on GF for celiac versus preference. Will definitely be back! Oh and ask for Charles…he was “in charge” and an excellent server.
