So we eat gluten free and I have found that I am totally fine with no gluten. I have found great substitutes and recipes for cookies, cakes and pasta but I NEED PIZZA!!!! Anybody out there know a great recipe or a premade yummy pizza. I have already tried udi's and it was horrible.  Thanks everyone!

I buy the Udi's gluten free pizza crusts and make 'homemade' pizza. My son also loves the Udi's spinach and feta cheese frozen pizza. He is also allergic to tomatoes, so that fits the bill.

I get the Donato's  pepperoni at the grocery store. they are certified, and doctor it up at home.  Even my gluten eating Hubs loves it.  I put sauce on again, double the cheese and any other fixings you want.

I bought a box of pizza crust mix a while back and that wasn't bad. I think it was Glutino brand??  It's a little hard to work with because it's so sticky but if you use wax paper or plastic wrap when handling it's fine.  We made this Open Original Shared Link the other night.  It wasn't bad.  It gets a bit salty though.  One change we will try next time is after the crust is pre-baked is to put it on a pizza pan for the final cooking.  I think it would crisp up the crust more but you have to use a glass pan to start.

We have used the Udi's gluten free crust and made our own pizza.  You can find Papa John's pizza sauce recipe on the web and add your own toppings.  We really enjoy that.  My son also tried the Freschetta gluten free pizza and said it was good.

We love Schar shelf-stable crusts. I've only ever seen them in one store, but you can buy them online. They are individually wrapped and come two per box, pre-cooked. You add sauce, cheese, and other toppings and bake just long enough to cook the toppings. If you bake them on one of those metal pizza trays with little holes in it, the bottom stays firm and does not get mushy.

Against the Grain, hands down

Even my wife who is not gluten-free likes it

It depends on where you live. If you're a New Englander you're probably out of luck. If you live elsewhere in the country you can probably find a frozen gluten-free pizza that tastes better than most pizzarias in your area.

 

I have been all over the country and long before I went gluten-free, I could never find a decent pizza outside of New England. There WAS one place in San Diego that was pretty good, and there is a place here in western South Dakota that's pretty good. But in other places usually you can't get a decent crust and they don't use the right cheeses, sometimes they put the toppings UNDER the cheese so it traps the grease, the sauce is either flavorless or they paint it on with a brush so it's too dry.

 

I worked in several pizzarias in Connecticut so I KNOW how it should be done. Here in my town people think Pizza Hut is good. In Connecticut no one but tourists would step foot into a Pizza Hut when the knew they could get a truly GOOD pizza just about anywhere else.

 

(Yes, I'm having a bad day - threw my back out. So I'm grumpy. But everything I said is true!)

If you want to order some frozen from a great gluten-free restaurant, try this: Open Original Shared Link. I ate there last weekend while in the area and it was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had. 

 

Otherwise, if you cook, here are some links to recipes:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      Outgrow celiac?

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
