Jersey Mike’s is one of my favorite places for gluten-free fast food! Not only do they have gluten-free bread that’s baked offsite, then individually wrapped to prevent cross-contact, but also so many of their sandwich ingredients are gluten-free for plenty of options.
In my experience, Jersey Mike’s is great about using a dedicated knife, fresh gloves, and a new paper barrier to prepare gluten-free meals, if you ask. Still, there’s always room for some cross-contamination when eating out so those with Celiac or severe allergies always need to decide for themselves if they’re comfortable with the risk.
Jersey Mike’s allergen menu makes it easy to check each ingredient for wheat and other top allergens before ordering your sandwich!
My Go-To Gluten-Free Order at Jersey Mike’s
My go-to order is the #13 Original Italian, Mike’s Way, on gluten-free bread. I usually grab a bag of Baked Lays (the original flavor is my favorite, but BBQ is always a good choice!) and, when they’re available, an Udi’s gluten-free Snickerdoodle for dessert. I can’t resist a gluten-free dessert when I find one!
Does Jersey Mike’s Have Gluten-Free Bread?
Yes! Jersey Mike’s uses Udi’s gluten-free rolls, which are soft and slightly chewy. They hold up well compared to other gluten-free sandwich breads!
You can order most sandwiches with the gluten-free sub roll, but only as a regular or giant-sized sandwich. Gluten-free bread is not offered in the mini or kid’s sizes.
Skip the Bread and Try a Sub Bowl!
Besides ordering sandwiches on gluten-free bread, Jersey Mike’s also lets you turn any regular sandwich into a bowl for a breadless option.
I love the #5 Super Sub and #7 Turkey and Provolone as sub bowls!

Tips for Ordering Gluten-Free at Jersey Mike’s
- Tell the employee you need your order to be gluten-free and ask what precautions they can take to prevent cross-contact.
- Ask for fresh gloves and a clean preparation surface before they start making your sandwich.
- Ask them to use a clean or dedicated knife to prepare your sandwich.
- Check sauces, condiments and other toppings in Jersey Mike’s current allergen guide, since ingredients can change.
- Consider a Sub in a Bowl if you want to skip the bread.
- Go during a less busy time if possible. This gives employees more time to prepare your order carefully.
- If you have Celiac disease or a severe gluten allergy, call your location ahead of time and ask how they handle gluten-free orders. Preparation practices can vary by location since they’re franchises.
Which Sides Are Gluten-Free at Jersey Mike’s?
- Hot Chopped Pepper Relish
- Prepackaged Chips, like Lay’s Classic, BBQ, and Salt & Vinegar, Cheetos, Fritos, etc. (Some wheat-free options, like many Miss Vickie’s flavors, contain malted barley flour so they are not gluten-free. Always double-check which current offerings before ordering!)
Does Jersey Mike’s Have Any Gluten-Free Desserts?
Yes! Jersey Mike’s sells individually wrapped Udi’s gluten-free snickerdoodles!
All other desserts, like brownies, tastykakes, and all other cookies contain gluten.
Can Someone with Celiac Eat at Jersey Mike’s?
I have Celiac and often eat at Jersey Mike’s, but I definitely recognize each person needs to weigh the risks for themselves. Jersey Mike’s does a great job reducing cross-contact, but they don’t have a 100% gluten-free kitchen.
Here is the allergen statement on the Jersey Mike’s nutrition and allergens page:
“While a particular product may not contain a particular allergen, it may be prepared on the same equipment and in the same kitchen area as products that do contain that allergen. Cross-contact with allergens is possible and neither we nor our franchisees nor any employees assume responsibility for sensitivity or allergy to any food item.”

What are the ingredients of the gluten free sub?
Hi Connie, we recommend using Jersey Mike’s allergen menu to confirm ingredients in their gluten-free sub. Thank you for your question!
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.
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!
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?
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!
Thank you south for this article. I now know that I can actually eat here.
I’m so glad it’s helpful! Hopefully more sandwiches are in your future!
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.
Great question! I get nervous about shared spreaders too. Luckily they use squirt bottles for the condiments if you ask for gluten-free!
