So what’s gluten-free at Jersey Mike’s? Let’s check out your options!

SHORT ANSWER: Jersey Mike’s has certified gluten-free sub rolls. You can substitute a gluten-free roll for almost ANY sandwich on the menu! Just note that the Meatball and Cheese and Chicken Parm sandwiches are NOT gluten-free, even if you opt for a gluten-free roll.

Jersey Mike’s Gluten-Free Menu

Jersey Mike’s is one of the best places to get a gluten-free sandwich. Just remember: there’s still a risk of cross contamination, since all foods are made in a common area.

Even sandwiches made on gluten-free bread could technically contain trace amounts of gluten, but the workers usually do everything they can to eliminate risk. (You can review Jersey Mike’s allergen menu to double-check ingredients.)

Is It Safe to Eat at Jersey Mike’s If You Have Celiac Disease?

Yes, Jersey Mike’s is actually one of the safest fast food restaurants for people with Celiac disease.

As stated on the Jersey Mike’s website:

Jersey Mike’s team members wear new gloves when handling the rolls and use knives and other utensils that haven’t touched other bread products when slicing the gluten free rolls. They also prepare gluten-free subs on parchment paper to avoid contact with gluten.

The website also says they thoroughly train every team member on how to prepare gluten-free sandwiches. Clearly, they are serious about satisfying their gluten-free customers!

Both the meatballs and chicken parm are made with gluten-containing bread crumbs, so these aren’t part of Jersey Mike’s gluten-free options.

At Jersey Mike’s you can also turn any regular sandwich into a sub bowl, which is basically a bunless sandwich. This is a great gluten-free option! The Super Sub and Turkey and Provolone are especially delicious as a sub bowl!

Gluten-Free Chip Options

Jersey Mike’s also has some gluten-free chip options. To be safe, stick to Lay’s, Cheetos, and Doritos.

You can see here that some of the Miss Vickies chips contain malted barley extract. Barley is a gluten-containing grain so they’re not gluten-free.

This makes Jersey Mike’s a great fast food option for people on a gluten-free diet!

Did Jersey Mike’s get rid of gluten-free bread?

No, Jersey Mike’s gluten-free bread is still available at all locations. They introduced their gluten-free sub rolls in 2017 and currently offer them at all locations nationwide.

Can I trust Jersey Mike’s if I have severe gluten sensitivity?

How does Jersey Mike’s gluten-free bread taste?

Jersey Mike’s uses Udi’s gluten-free rolls, which are soft, slightly chewy, and taste great when toasted. They hold up well compared to other gluten-free sandwich breads!

The Bottom Line

If you have Celiac disease, gluten allergies, or prefer a gluten-free diet, Jersey Mike’s is an excellent sandwich chain option. The workers at all Jersey Mike’s locations are well-trained in preparing gluten-free foods and will go to great lengths to minimize the chances of cross-contamination with gluten.

You can order almost any Jersey Mike’s sandwich on a gluten-free roll, but should avoid #15 Meatball and Cheese and #18 Chicken Parmesan, which have breadcrumbs made from wheat flour.

Otherwise, you can order almost any delicious sub from a Jersey Mike’s local restaurant without worry!

Hi, I'm Erin!

I believe you can make amazing, gluten-free food with everyday ingredients that everyone will enjoy. I'm here to share my tried-and-true recipes with you!

Comments

  1. For chip options, you say: “To be safe, stick to lays, cheetos and doritos.”

    However, ALMOST ALL Doritos flavors are NOT gluten free. A quick online search will result in this finding.

    Otherwise, thank you for this helpful info about Jersey Mike’s.

    1. Hi Jamie, thank you for sharing your feedback. We have an article about if Doritos are gluten-free that goes into the details. Most Doritos don’t list gluten-containing ingredients in their ingredient lists, but there is a risk of cross-contamination that each person needs to consider for themselves since the company doesn’t test every flavor to ensure the 20 ppm of gluten or less needed to label them as GF. We appreciate your thoughts and will consider our wording in this article as we make updates in the future!

  2. Thank you for your blog regarding Jersey Mike’s non-gluten choices. I have a grandchild that is vegetarian and gluten free because she is allergic to multiple items. I believe I have negotiated the best options at my home, but when she is with me and we wish to go to a fast food place it is quite difficult to find a place that we feel is safe from gluten and caters to her needs for some vegetarian choices as well. Can you please tell me if you have addressed this at various other restaurants? Do you have any suggestions that will help us be able to discover what is actually available at restaurants without the worry that the location might not actually know and practice safety for gluten and other allergens?

    1. Hi Pam! I have many other restaurant guides on my website. You can see they linked in my post – I hope they’re helpful! It’s never a for sure guarantee they’ll know how to make things safe. Places like Jersey Mike’s with company-wide protocols make it easier. You always have to ask the actual people working there though. I hope this helps!

  3. I have never eaten at a Jersey mikes. Do they have condiments individually packaged for someone with allergies. As a celiac looking at the photo with the container of Mayo and a shared knife makes me rather nervous.
    Do t get me wrong I’d love to try a new place to eat but I also don’t want to risk getting sick.

    1. Great question! I get nervous about shared spreaders too. Luckily they use squirt bottles for the condiments if you ask for gluten-free!
