For most people with Celiac disease, finding safe restaurants is quite the process. In some areas, they are few and far between. However, throughout my time at Merrimack, I have been able to find many safe options in Andover and surrounding areas. Here are some of my go-to places for a delicious Celiac safe meal!
Crack’d Kitchen and Coffee – Andover, MAÂ
From breakfast sandwiches to chicken tenders, Crack’d has it all. With an expansive gluten free menu, there are many safe options here. The staff are knowledgeable about Celiac, and everything tastes amazing! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat.
It’s All Good in the Kitchen – North Andover, MA
This small cafe located in downtown North Andover makes it their mission to provide a dedicated gluten free kitchen. From baked goods to made-to-order meals, there are many options to choose from here.
Burton’s Grill – North Andover, MA
With an entirely separate gluten free menu and strict protocols in place, Burton’s is the perfect place for a classy sit-down lunch or dinner. Since they are a chain of restaurants, there are many other locations as well!
Danvers Pizza and Subs – Danvers, MA
With a wide variety of gluten free pizzas, calzones, and fried food, Danvers Pizza and Subs is a hidden gem for gluten free eats. With fried side dishes such as mozzarella sticks and onion rings, this place is top tier. The staff are kind and helpful, with extensive knowledge of Celiac disease. As they are trying to build their clientele, definitely give them a try!
Stachey’s Pizza- North Andover, MA
A small, neighborhood pizza place with many gluten free options available. From many types of pizza to chicken tenders and fried in a dedicated fryer, Stachey’s is a perfect lunch or dinner spot. They even have packaged gluten free brownies and cookies at the checkout counter!

Located in downtown Andover, 34 Park St is an elegant Italian eatery with gluten free options available. Many classic pasta dishes are available gluten free. The chicken parm is my personal favorite!
Northern Massachusetts has so many gluten free options, and these are just a few of them. As an out of state student, I am truly grateful to go to school in an area that is so accommodating of Celiac disease!
