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.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
