Anyone found a GOOD gluten-free pizza ?

So pizza was a huge staple in my life (healthy I know) and I’ve tried about 4 different gluten-free pizzas (UDI’S being one of them) and I honestly HATE IT. It’s like a thin crust pizza that’s over cooked on the bottom and gummy and chewy/undercooked on the top. But that’s just how it tastes ! It seems to me all gluten-free pizza is like this and I should just give up on the pizza quest ?. And please no suggesting cauliflower pizza ?

You can try making your own pizza. I have found out that to make a NY style pizza you need to start with

Grande 50/50 mozzarella cheese or whole milk mozzarella cheese

Escalon 6 in 1 ground tomatoes (do not cook before putting on pizza)

Pizza crust:

  Udis for thin and crispy

  Dr Schar for thick and chewy

  Etalia (Colorado) for  a NY style crust

 

You add a smidge of sugar to the sauce if it tastes bitter and then salt to taste then build the pizza. Even mistakes seem to taste good. :D

Grande and Escalon can be found in an Italian store. Pizza aficionados like those ingredients so it's just a matter of making some calls locally.

Against The Grain Pizza. Use a pizza pan -- not a cheap one but a good one that has holes in the bottom.

Real good foods makes a great one but it has dairy....My dad who is not a cealic eats it around me and says it taste great. You can find them in walmarts now or order by the case.....I have to go the califlour route with Califlour foods...like a hybrid flatbread new york style one...make it extra cripsy with a long prebake myself and use non dairy cheese on it but I have issues with gluten, dairy, peanuts, soy, and can not have carbs....other AI diseases from not taking care of my celiac early enough.....Cappllos makes a good one also just super expensive...BTW a pizza pan and or Pizza stone is a must. The stone keeps them soft chewy while a pan will make them crisper dryer.
Honestly just get a Real Good Foods one from walmart or order by the case. Found some companies that make hotpockets gluten free also lol if you want a list.

Cheerymarie,

I don't  eat pizza's in general much today because the carbs tend to raise my sugar too much but when I was eating pizza's more.  I swear by Matteo's Pizza.

they actually have a "negative gravity room" dedicated to a gluten free prep area.

They use Tom Sawyer flour as I remember and my gluten friends often didn't know it was gluten free unless I told them.

And here is the nice part.

They will ship nationwide.  I used to put an order in once a month and buy a dozen at a time for my freezer.

I hope this is helpful.

I found the Schar brand pizza crust.  It’s not bad at all.  A lot of other crusts I’ve tried are dry and crunch like I’m eating a cracker.  This has a bread feel and it’s egg free.  My kids love it.  I think it’s about $7 for 2 decent sized crusts.

Against the Grain is excellent, but very expensive.  We have found Freschetta to be consistently the best frozen gluten-free pizza out there. It's really surprisingly very good.   Open Original Shared Link

I agree with Andy, we've found that Freschetta is the best. California Pizza Kitchen margarita pizza isn't bad... but the Freschetta pepperoni one tastes the most like regular pizza. The crust is SUPER thin and you have to really check it to make sure it doesn't burn, but like I said - we think it's the best so far.

If you use the Ibotta Rebate app, they have almost the full $5.50 back on the Real Good Pizza for walmart right now, they also have several coupons for Canyon house bakery and Udis Loafs in several stores right now for a few bucks back. Smithfield meats (most are gluten free labled) and some others. >.> I have referral codes if anyone wants one in PM lol SO hard to get by on this diet money wise so figured I would share the savings.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
