Pizza - Gluten Free

Hey All, I was wondering if anyone has tried gluten free pizza? I'm specifically talking about the store bought kind. I'm looking for a cheat meal - I've been eating mainly non processed fresh food but I need a little something to stay sane every now and then. I'm from New York so i'd say I have a pretty high standard of pizza lol. Are there any good frozen ones that are worth eating? I don't think i've ever eaten a frozen pizza in my life but I don't particularly have the time right now to make my own. 

Also while I'm posting I figure i'll ask. I'm going to this event with my friend at her work. It's like a dinner party. How do I navigate this situation food wise? Should I just eat at home and get drinks there or plan to eat there but take snacks just in case nothing seems safe? 

Thanks guys!

If you are able to eat dairy,  Against the Grain is hands down the best gluten-free pizza (and I'm from N.Y. coincidentally:-))

Regarding parties, or any social gathering for that matter,  I always eat before hand and get a glass of wine or cider when I'm there.

We are major pizza lovers, so the struggle has been real trying to find good gluten free pizza. We have tried any brand we've come across in many different stores. The best we have found is Sabatasso's from Costco. They might sell it other places as well. We buy our own toppings and make variations other than cheese. Our household has thick and thin crust lovers and this brand manages to satisfy us all.

Blaze Pizza is great for gluten free, they will change their gloves, a sort of mat under the pizza in the oven, use a separate cutter to slice it, plus it's great pizza! Enjoy!

I recently covered some pizzas when adding some grain free options to the gluten alternative list....I actually found a company that makes gluten-free hot pockets also sorta made me laugh. There are some unique ones out there now days even found one that made low carb crust out of chicken breast and cheese. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/117090-gluten-free-food-alternatives-list/

KathleenH,

I swear by MatteosPizza and they make National Delivery.

I have been known to buy them by the dozen.

BellaMonica's is not a bad corn based crust.  By not bad I mean "suprisingly good" that can be bought at most grocery stores.

Here is there ZIP locator page to see if they are carried in your local area.

I hope this is helpful.

Pizza is one of the hardest ones to do. This is something where it is wise to lower your expectations and to consider making it yourself (because if you find a crust you like, there is a god chance the cheese or sauce might not be to your taste). I have yet to find a pizza brand that gets everything right. But don't despair, there are some tasty options provided you modify your expectations a bit. Udis used to make a great gluten free pizza, but they changed it so it went from being something like a north eastern style thin crust italian pizza to an awful pizza that tastes like it was made at the same place Henry Hill got his egg noodles and ketchup from. Some people do like the new taste, so I would say it is still worth trying. But I really can't get into the change. Against the Grain isn't too bad. They kind of cheat a bit the way they use this gelatinous goo in the center of the crust to create the illusion of chew (at first you won't notice but after a few you'll catch on). Unfortunately their cheese blend leaves something to be desired (tastes nothing like the classic three cheese italian blend). But their pesto pizza is wonderful. Again, gelatinous goo in the crust, but it is pretty good. Three Bakers actually makes a pretty good pizza. Haven't had it in years though. Fraschetta isn't bad either (though just be careful as the box for the gluten free one looks pretty similar to the regular pizza). Better Bread Company makes a very good gluten free pizza but is hard to find around here. I love their pepperoni pizza. I think of all of them, Better Bread company probably comes the closest to a real pizza for me. But it isn't perfect (and I think Against the Grain Pesto is probably my favorite out of everything I've mentioned).

Thanks for the tips. I miss pizza soooo much. There is a local place that makes gluten-free pizza but after a reaction I don't trust them anymore. Searching for a gluten-free frozen is so hard for me as I can't justify the cost. It's very expensive. If it was for one of my kids I would do it, but it's just for me and I can eat something else, lol.

When in a hurry and on the cheap, I use a upside down portabello cap topped with pizza sauce vegan cheese. Bake 400 for 20 mins then broil a bit. Check my links if you get a chance for other options, Oh just found a. Seasoning from flavor god that taste like pizza. Bit expensive but putting it on a vegan cheese coated paleo bread slice smashed my craving last night.

I love mushrooms. I'll give this a shot! Thanks! Now I just have to keep it away from one of my cats who adores mushrooms too.

Oh man, we all need cheat days! I can't handle dairy either, so finding decent safe gluten-free pizza has been hard. Only one place in the city that does it right, and it's $$$ so a treat 2-3 times a year.

Anyway, Daiya (who make vegan cheese substitutes) have started making all kinds of new stuff including a gluten/dairy/soy free vegan frozen pizza!  They're not amazing but pretty decent, reasonably priced for the size, and becoming available lots of places near me at least (not sure if Daiya is a big thing in the US or not), so if I see them on sale I pick up 2 or 3 for "I really don't want to cook right now" cheat nights.

Of course, if dairy isn't an issue, I'm sure there are others a million times better.

For frozen, my favorite is freschetta gluten free pizza. I prefer to get the cheese one and do my own topping. For homemade, I like the King Arthur gluten free pizza crust recipe best. Whole family eats it. For sauce I mix I 15 ounce can tomato sauce with one can paste. Add spices and a touch of sugar. Tastes a lot like Pizza Hut sauce

Sonomas Flatbread pizzas are good, if you can find them.  But I prefer making my crust since I am now DF too.  Schar has a premade crust that I top with sauce and veggies.  Doesn't take much time to put a pizza together with it.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      IMO, the information contained in this article is extremely important. Several medical science articles I have run across lately indicate that researchers are just beginning to uncover connections between gut health and diseases we would never have imagined as having a link. One example is Parkinson's. But this sentence caught my eye from this article...

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      @Dorothy O. Your story is incredibly powerful, and it highlights something that still happens far too often—family members of people with celiac disease aren’t always told that they should be tested, even though first-degree relatives have up to a 1 in 10 chance of having it. It’s heartbreaking that you went so many decades without a diagnosis, especially given...

      CT with contrast.

      It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Say what you will about Peter Osborne, but he gave me back my life. Back in 2007 he was not promoting grain free, but came to that conclusion a few years later. While I did OK on gluten free, I really saw the greatest recovery when I went grain free. I notice a huge difference if I eat a gluten free food that contains any sort of grain. I ache all over...

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t diagnose celiac disease but can help rule out other causes of abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, or inflammation. Your doctor may be looking for complications, structural issues, or conditions that can mimic celiac symptoms. So while the CT isn’t part of routine celiac testing for everyone, it is normal if your doctor wants a more complete picture of what’s going on.

I ache all over, have digestive issues and my rash comes roaring back.  I think it is probably, because grains are sprayed with Glyphosate in the drying process before being shipped.  Thanks, but I will stick to my organic, grain free diet and continue to feel well at 73.  Not missing out on nutrients as I follow a strict supplement plan based on testing.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Anne G · Posted

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By trents · Posted

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.
