Rice flour crust · 10″ and 14″
Our closest match to the thin, crisp, square-cut pizza J. Burns’ has been known for since 1965. It holds its structure under a full load of toppings and crisps at the edge the way a good thin crust should.
Celiac-friendly every day
Gluten-free pizza in Lakeland and Winter Haven
Finding a gluten-free pizza that is actually worth ordering is harder than it should be. Most places treat it as a box to tick. We treat it as a pizza. J. Burns’ bakes two real gluten-free crusts every day at all three shops, prepared at their own dedicated station.
Two real crusts
Rice flour or cauliflower?
The rice flour crust comes in 10″ and 14″; the cauliflower crust is 10″. Nearly any topping works on either one, including all nine specialty pies on the square-cut pizza menu and any build-your-own combination you want.
Cauliflower crust · 10″
Lighter, with a little more give and a savory edge from the vegetable base. It is the one to pick if you want the pizza to feel less like bread and more like the toppings.
The part most places gloss over
A dedicated gluten-free prep station
Our gluten-free crusts are prepared at their own dedicated station, separate from the regular dough. That is what lets us serve guests with celiac disease rather than only guests avoiding gluten by choice.
It also means the gluten-free menu is not a short list. Just about anything we make can be converted to gluten-free. If you do not see what you want, ask, because the answer is usually yes.
If you have questions about your own situation, call the shop before you order. Our crews would rather take the call than have you guess.

Beyond the pizza
Gluten-free subs and salads too
Every sub except the Mamma Mia can be made gluten-free on gluten-free bread. Our salads work too, including the Greek and the Caesar, though it is worth asking about dressings when you order. Garlic knots and the fried sides are the usual exceptions. Browse the fresh subs and salads.
The short version: start with what you actually want to eat, then ask us to make it gluten-free.

Good to know
Gluten-free questions, answered
Is J. Burns' safe for someone with celiac disease?
Yes. Our gluten-free crusts are prepared at their own dedicated prep station, kept separate from the regular dough. That separation is what allows us to serve guests with celiac disease and not just guests avoiding gluten by preference. If you want to talk through your own situation before ordering, call the shop and ask.
Which gluten-free crust should I get?
Get the rice flour crust if you want something close to our classic thin, crisp, square-cut pizza. Get the cauliflower crust if you want something lighter that lets the toppings lead.
Can I put any topping on a gluten-free crust?
Nearly all of them. The full topping list is open to you, including all nine specialty combinations.
What size are the gluten-free pizzas?
The rice flour crust comes in 10″ and 14″. The cauliflower crust is 10″. The 10″ is roughly a personal to small shareable size, between our 7 inch and 12 inch regular pies; the 14″ rice flour feeds a small group.
Do you have gluten-free options that are not pizza?
Plenty. Just about anything on our menu can be converted to gluten-free, including every sub except the Mamma Mia, plus our salads. Ask for what you want rather than picking from a short list.
Do I need to order gluten-free ahead of time?
No. Both crusts are stocked daily at all three shops. Walk in, call, or order online.
