Amy's Gluten-free Pizza

I was so excited when I saw a frozen Amy's rice-crust pizza--until I turned it over and found the price--$8.99 (and an 8- 10-inch pizza would only serve one real person--my 5year-old and 7-year-old could easily split it with no leftovers).

Holy Toledo. I've always loved Amy's products, but the price tag on this is ridiculous. A rice crust is NOT expensive to make, or for that matter, difficult to make. I'll keep making my own.

This is SO disappointing! :(

I can get it at Kroger and Target for 5.99. I think that is what it costs. Check some other places if they are available to you. Having said that a homemade pizza on chebe pizza crust is not as conveinent as Amy's frozen but it tastes ALOT better. Check out some other spots for Amy's though. I know I don't pay more than 6 dollars.

I get the Amy's pizza at my local mom n pop grocery store. I think I normally pay about $6.29 for it. It's well worth it though. Convenience with a gluten free diet is not always easy. For me it's worth the extra few bucks. Anyway, I totally love the pizza. It's my absolute favorite (though it did take a while to get used to). Now I think I'd stick with that pizza even if I found out I didn't have celiac disease.

That is definately a treat I like and appreciate!!! I pay about $6 for it. Then I buy leeks, s$#&ake mushrooms, more white cheddar, and aparagus to add to it!! I used to be able to eat the whole thing even with the additional toppings ... but now that I'm absorbing more I can only eat about half of it (in one sitting anyway!).

I've had some of the other Amy's pizzas and they are really good. Does the rice crust taste good?

IMHO it's the best gluten free pizza out there, but I know others say it's not that great. I think it's awesome! My whole family enjoys it.

We did one of the Amy's and it was from Target, so not so pricey. After that one, thought I decided I'd much rather have Chebe. You can even make the Chebe ones ahead and freeze them before the final baking. For a quick fix, we keep the Kinniknik??? crusts and just add toppings. These are sooooo good and easy.

If you log on to Frankferd Farms website they have sales each month and at times have some gluten-free stuff on special. They are in Saxonburg. I order by the case when they have things on special like the pizzas as I will not go the price of $ 8.99 .I get the large bags of Nature Path corn flakes, rice krispie bars and etc. from there when a sale comes out. They also carry cinnamon rolls and millet frozen bread dough from Traci's treats. They are a tad pricey .

I also think Amy's is cheaper at whole foods, I know the frozen mac & cheese is $2.49 at Whole foods and $ 2.99 at our Giant Eagle.......

I'm going to Philly in a couple of weeks so I hope to find some things I can't get back here . I can't wait to go to the JULES Pizza Place for gluten-free pizza and be able to sit down outside of my home to eat it!!!!!

If you want me to look for anything for you let me know, just pm me..

I really like the rice crusts. They are a different texture completely from regular crust, so if you're looking for a nice doughy pizza, this isn't it. I like them better than regular pizza.

It is good and worth it to have on hand in a pinch. I have gotten it at Target for cheaper. But they are the same price you paid at my co-ops.

Not that I have tried the pizza's myself but I think its worth considering pricewise that its not just the cost of the rice flour etc.

From what everyone is saying it sounds like the toppings are good quality and I think you have to consider the scale of the operation. First off they must be paying over the odds for their supplies both to make sure they are gluten-free and because they are just buying small amounts... then the cost of a gluten-free kitchen and redistribution.

I have to say at that price it is something to treat as a luxury but if you treat it as such then the price ins't too far out. At the end of the day you are paying for convenience, you can make your own pizza dough for cents and excluding leaving it to prove half an hours time investment so if you look on it as a little treat for yourself in terms of lazyness once in a while its not a bad price for a treat.

I do the same thing with gluten-free bread etc., well mainly I just don't make/use it but when I do I remind myself its a luxury not an everyday thing.

One hopes that Amy's will take into account the growing market and not see this as an excuse not to drop the price as sales increase. passing on benefits to their (customers) but otherise it looks to me (as an outsider like a catch-22).

I used to buuy Amy's at Fox's, health food store and sometimes I got it at Wegmans, never paid more than $6 for it. I was always happy with it. Now Grainless baker makes a pre-made pizza and I buy that for $5 and it is so yummy!!!!

You could try joining a co-op, www.unitedbuyingclubs.com their price is in the latest catalouge has Amy's rice crust pizza at $6.18 each and you buy by the case of 8 for $49.44. Glutino has a pretty good single serve pizza 6.2 oz. $4.53 each $27.18 a case of 6. There are monthly sales. I feel that it saves money and hassle in the long run because I'm not driving all over the place trying to save a few dollars on this product here and that product there. Buying in bulk has been easier because I live further out in the country.

I've made rice crust pizzas from scratch--they're ridiculously easy and not even time consuming if you already have cooked rice hanging around. Considering that I don't eat wheat anything and my husband is Asian, it's not surprising ALWAYS have rice hanging around!

That's why I'm so ticked off--wheat/yeast crusts are much more difficult and time-consuming to make than rice crusts!

This is weird--I could have sworn I answered this post!

RICE CRUST

3 cups cooked, cooled rice, 1 cup shredded cheddar, 1 or 2 eggs

Mix, pat out onto greased pan with well-greased hands, make a rim so that tomato sauce doesn't leak, bake 18 minutes at 375, top, and rebake or broil until cheese melts and bubbles.

I like to add garlic and dried Italian seasoning.

You can cook up a whole pot of rice and freeze it in 3 cup batches--thaw in microwave as needed.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
