TripSavvy's fact-checking Share Pin Email Walter Bibikow Collection:The Image Bank / Getty Images Being gluten-free used to mean missing out on most foods. You couldn't go with your friends to eat pizza or Italian food, and when you said "gluten-free" people just stared at you like you were from Mars. Today, celiac disease has gotten more attention, and people with gluten sensitivities have more options. You can have a burger, pizza and even dessert in Little Rock and still be gluten-free. If you are extremely sensitive to gluten, you should call the restaurant before you visit to see how strict their control is. Some of them prepare traditional, gluten-filled foods in the same area they are preparing the gluten-free foods. It's always best to ask. 01 of 09 Izzy's Amanda Galiano View Map Address 5601 Ranch Dr #4496, Little Rock, AR 72223, USA Get directions Phone +1 501-868-4311 Web Visit website Izzy's has been catering to the gluten-free crowd since before it was cool.
