Gluten-Free Dining Done Right

Our pizzas are made on our signature gluten-free crust baked in a dedicated GF pizza oven — and GF options appear throughout the menu. Items marked GF are prepared with gluten-free ingredients. Not sure about a specific dish? Ask your server. There’s almost always a GF option.

Our Local Partners

We’re proud to source locally. Our beef comes from Michigan Craft Beef at Moraine Park Farms, just seven miles down the road, and our microgreens are grown by Green Village Farm right here in the community. Meet all of our local partners on The Derby Tavern Partners page.
