This is America. The self-proclaimed land of the gluten free and home of the gluten brave, and as such we must honor those gluten free folks by giving them a list of literally all of the excellent gluten free products we’ve ever tried. 

This list is exhaustive, with everything from gluten free pasta and pizza to gluten free tortillas, cookies, rolls, frozen appetizers, and more. If you’re feeling kind of stuck and looking for new gluten free offerings to try, this list is a great place to start.

Best Gluten Free Pizza

Mama Cozzi’s Cauliflower Pizza Pepperoni

Instacart

We loved this gluten free frozen pizza. Were we surprised by how much we loved this gluten free frozen pizza? Absolutely. But Aldi’s Mama Cozzi brand really nails it sometimes! The gluten free crust is chewy and crispy in all the right places, the cheese is gooey and decadent, and the pepperoni cuts through it all with some umami and spice. If you are looking for a gluten free pizza that will get even the gluten lovers excited, this is your guy. —Jessica Block

Best GF Pizza Rolls

Feel Good Foods Uncured Pepperoni Pizza Snacks

Whole Foods

If you’ve been craving the nostalgic experience of burning your mouth on a lava-hot Totino’s Pizza Roll, then Feel Good is here to help. These gluten free frozen pizza bites have a pleasantly chewy crust thanks to tapioca flour—they’re almost like Brazilian cheese bread but, you know, pizza. They are absolutely stuffed with filling: bright tomato sauce, little bits of pepperoni, and cheese. Honestly, we might just switch to these instead of Totino’s. — Justine Sterling

Best GF Dumplings

Feel Good Foods Chicken Soup Dumplings

Walmart

While these gluten free soup dumplings aren’t quite as good as the gluten-full products in our best frozen soup dumplings ranking, they’re certainly worth buying if you’re living that gluten free life. The broth is tasty and gingery. The meat is rich and tasty. The skin can get a bit gluey. But just eat them fresh from the microwave and you’ll be super satisfied. — Justine Sterling

Best Hot Pocket Dupe

Fueled by Choice Pizza Pockets

Sprouts

It’s not exactly a one-to-one dupe for a Hot Pocket, but it comes damn close. The filling tastes a bit like chopped up Slim Jims—in a good way. But the crust actually gets crisp in the microwave (seriously impressive). Just imagine what might happen if you air fried this sucker! This is one of the best gluten-free foods to stock up on for late afternoon or late night snacking. — Justine Sterling

Best Frozen Tacos

These are so good. I don’t care whether you avoid gluten or not, you’ll want to snag a box of these ASAP. We cooked these up in our counter top oven on the air fryer mode, and in just six minutes were reward with crisp-but-tender half moons filled with juicy meat. So good! — Justine Sterling

Best Easy Lunch

Del Real Pupusas Birria & Cheese

Costco

If you’re a regular Costco shopper, add these gluten free pupusas to your list. They’re some of the best gluten free foods to have in the fridge for fast, shockingly filling lunches. The masa is tender and the meat is savory and tomatoey and just a little bit spicy. If you topped these with some crema and pickled jalapenos and onions, you’d really be in business. — Justine Sterling

Best Waffle (Not Frozen)

Lopaus Point Waffles

Good Eggs

Good gluten free waffles are hard to find. Sure, we managed to track down one brand that we felt was good enough to feature as our pick for the best gluten free frozen waffles, but most of them are crumbly trash. These shelf-stable gluten free waffles, on the other hand, are really good. They have a gently sweet flavor and they’re tender—not crumbly—on the inside with a crisp outside. They’d really shine with some good maple syrup. — Justine Sterling

Best Tortillas

We tried cooking these according to the directions and they neither rose nor puffed. But they still managed to taste good enough to add to this list of the best gluten free foods. They have really great stretch and chew—especially for a gluten free product—and a pleasant, fresh flavor. Even though they didn’t follow through on their promise (for us) they’re still some of the best gluten free tortillas—especially if you’ve been craving classically stretchy flour tortillas. — Justine Sterling

The extra-crispy coating on these gluten free frozen mozzarella sticks is better than most of the gluten-full versions we tried in our frozen mozzarella taste test (especially when we recently cooked them in our new counter top oven). And the cheese actually tastes good! It’s not just a flavorless cheese stick—it’s rich and super gooey. Add these to your gluten free appetizer sampler, along with the pizza bites and the crispy tacos. — Justine Sterling

Best Gluten Free Pasta

Giadzy Taccole Corte Pasta

Giadzy

Gluten free pasta gets a bad rap, frankly, because a lot of it is bad. Typically, it’s a mushy, off-tasting, or bland mess, and nobody deserves that. People who don’t eat gluten need a pasta that they can trust to taste like…well…pasta. And who came to the rescue but Food Network’s very own Giada De Laurentiis? Giadzy, De Laurentiis’s pasta brand, sells both gluten free pasta and pasta made with traditional wheat flour, and we think you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two. We tried her GF pasta in several shapes (you can’t go wrong with any of them), but this Taccole Corte was our favorite. They’re kind of like mini lasagna noodles, complete with the little ruffles that grab up all the sauce. The chew and flavor are fantastic. If you’ve been searching for the be-all end-all of gluten free pasta, look no further. —Jessica Block

Best Ravioli

Cappello’s Almond Flour Pasta Five Cheese Ravioli

Instacart

It’s been a minute since our cheese ravioli taste test, but we still talk about these gluten free ravs around the Sporked offices. The almond flour pasta in thin and pliable, almost like freshly made pasta from a restaurant. There’s no weird aftertaste (let’s face it, some gluten free products made with alternative flours have a weird aftertaste), and there’s just so, so much filling in these bad boys. It’s rich and cheesy with notes of cracked black pepper and garlic. Cappello’s has become one of our favorite GF brands. Tip of the top hat to them! —Gwynedd Stuart

Best Gnocchi

Cappello’s Gnocchi

Instacart

Store bought gnocchi—even the kind that isn’t gluten free—is very hit-or-miss. A lot of it is gummy and flavorless. That’s why Cappello’s grain free gnocchi was such a pleasant surprise. It’s made with a potato base, along with almond flour. Cook it according to the instructions—boil and then pan sear the little morsels—and you have a delicious dinner on your hands. All this GF gnocchi needs is some butter and sage to really sing. —Gwynedd Stuart

Ah yes, gluten free boxed mac and cheese. The white whale of celiacs and gluten intolerant people everywhere. Well, fret no longer because we believe we have found a solution for you—and it comes from the brand you’ve turned to for boxed mac and cheese since childhood. The noodles have bite and the sauce tastes exactly like the Kraft mac and cheese sauce you know and love. It’s a pretty perfect gluten free dupe.

Best Gluten Free Frozen Mac and Cheese

Beecher’s Gluten Free “World’s Best” Mac & Cheese

Ralphs

A couple things make this the best gluten free mac and cheese. The first is that the cheese sauce is so good and sharp and cheddar cheesy that it distracts from any textural or flavor differences the gluten free pasta might bring. The second is that even when we actively tried to detect any gluten free weirdness in the pasta, we really couldn’t. This just tastes like excellent mac and cheese, and if you have any gluten free people at your next big dinner gathering, we highly recommend heating up a tray of Beecher’s and watching everyone come back for seconds. In fact, you should probably heat up a couple of trays. —Jessica Block

Best Gluten Free Pot Pie

Blake’s Gluten-Free Chicken Pot Pie

Instacart

Frozen pot pie is all about the crust, so we were dubious that a gluten free pot pie would be a winner, but this one is. The crust is made with white rice, brown rice, potato starch, tapioca starch, and some other ingredients and binders, and it comes out of the oven super crispy and tender. The filling is nice, too—very fresh tasting, with hunks of white meat chicken and plenty of vegetables. This is the perfect gluten free frozen meal for a cold, crummy winter day.—Gwynedd Stuart

Best Gluten Free Frozen Meal

I have literally bought this frozen meal multiple times in my life and never realized it was gluten free. That’s how delicious this thing is. If you are a fan of broccoli cheddar soup and mac and cheese with a crispy breadcrumb topping, imagine if those two things had a child and that’s this bake. This may not be the healthiest gluten free frozen food, but hey. There are plenty of healthy gluten free foods out there already. Even gluten free people need junk food sometimes.

Best Gluten Free Bread

Schar Gluten Free Artisan White Bread

Amazon

Of all the gluten free products you might want to buy, gluten free bread is the most crucial. For one thing, there’s a lot of crumbly, flavorless, disappointing gluten free bread at the grocery store. For another thing, gluten free bread is pricey. No one wants to spend money on bad bread! If you’re looking for something neutral and convincing on which to build your next gluten free sandwich, check out Schär’s artisan white bread. It has chew. It’s satisfying. It might not please everyone in your family, but if you’re GF and you’ve been through the ringer trying to find the best gluten free bread, you’re going to appreciate this stuff. —Gwynedd Stuart

Best Gluten Free Rolls

Against the Grain Gourmet Original Rolls Cheese Baked Recipe

Ralphs

When we warmed up these gluten free dinner rolls, we were stunned that they were somehow stretchy and chewy despite the lack of gluten. And as if that wasn’t enough of a feat of science, they also taste like those Brazilian pão de queijo rolls or like a cheesy gugére. And if neither of those things gives you any frame of reference, these taste like chewy rolls with little tangy and umami pockets of cheese. We didn’t love these as much cold but also that’s a non-issue. Put these in a bread basket, and they’ll be absolutely demolished before they have cooled down in the slightest. —Jessica Block

They’re a little chewy, and much sofer and fluffier than other gluten free English muffins we tried in our taste test.

Best Gluten Free Frozen Waffles

Full Circle Market Gluten Free Blueberry Waffles

Hy-Vee

One of the most important things about a blueberry waffle is that it has that tell-tale “blueberry” smell and taste that store-bought blueberry waffles, muffins, and bagels all share. Never fear, these gluten free waffles taste like blueberries! So much so, that it became really hard to detect any hint of gluten free flour alternative flavors, which is exactly what you want in a waffle. These toasted up nice and crisp and were amazing with some syrup. If you are just a gluten free so-and-so who’s jonesing for a bloob-infused waffle, we say give these a go. —Jessica Block

Glutenberg’s beers are gluten free because they’re brewed with alternative grains like corn, millet, and buckwheat—and they’re all good.

But if you see their Belgian white or IPA, don’t hesitate to pick those up, too. —Gwynedd Stuart
