being born and raised in nj meant one thing to all of us northern nj brats - you cut your baby teeth on a pizza crust :)  so, for the past few years i have been suffering through visits up there and watching everybody inhale their yummy pizza.  or travel over an hour to have gluten free pizza by myself.  recently, my girlfriend told me about a new place that serves gluten free pizza right near her house in oak ridge, nj (jefferson twp) - after the whole domino's (we can't guarantee that it's celiac safe) dealio, i was pretty skeptical.  then she told me she went and talked to the owners and the wife is celiac - well, that made my ears perk up.  so, we ordered and i quizzed the girl on the phone.  she was very knowledgeable and said they had a separate area where the pizzas are made.  they don't make their own gluten-free crust, but the toppings and whatnot are kept separate from 'regular' ones, so no cc :)  also, they have stuffed shells and ravioli, etc..   so, not just a 'trendy diet' offering.  you can actually eat here safely.  oh, and they give you your own (adorable) pizza cutter and you cut it yourself.  it was pretty yummy - yay!!  and everybody who ordered 'regular' pizza also said it was delicious.  so go eat pizza, lolz  ;)

It was pretty damn good. :D And I was very happy that she found this place. Now, if they would only deliver 750 miles.

I'm jealous! Every eating-out experience I've had to date has meant getting glutened! 

You should post the restaurant's name and address.

i hardly ever eat out because of that - i think i order out/eat out only 4 times per year and it makes me nervous.  a few times i just order the (dinner or whatever) and take it home 'just in case'  - i had luck with jason's deli down here in knoxville  :) 

 

that's the name of it:  pinto's - are you familiar with oak ridge nj?  it's right on bvr on the jefferson side of milton.

      Fighting for a name

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
