Gluten-free Pizza In Orlando?

I actually live in Orlando (have been here 8 months now) and here's what else I have found:

If you're going to Celebration, the Columbia Restaurant has some choices. No separate menu, but I have the black bean soup, Columbia 1905 salad, and yellow rice with no problems at all. Most of the menu is "use your common sense" - I've had grilled steak and chicken there with no problems, but I always ask to make sure the grill is clean. It's a bit pricier than some of the places on here, but it's really good.

Pizza Fusion is finally open on Sand Lake Road in Orlando. It's in the heart of the tourist area, and as previously said, kind of expensive, but it IS good.

In Downtown Disney, the Rainforest Cafe is a great place to eat. When I explained to my waiter about my issues, he had one of the chefs come to my table to discuss my meal. I didn't know we were going beforehand so I didn't call ahead or anything, but the entire Disney corporation is great about food allergies.

Any of our well-know food chains with gluten-free menus, of course (Outback, Chili's, etc).

My personal favorite is a local Mexican place, located just off 417, on Orange Blossom Trail, called Azteca D'Oro. I've eaten there many times with no issues. They fry the chips in separate oil, the salsa is great, the food is yummy and filling, and the margaritas are amazing. This is a little farther from the touristy areas, but it's safe Mexican and very affordable.

Maybe I just went on a bad day, but I was not impressed with the pizza at Pizza Fusion at all. It wasn't yucky or anything, it just wasn't good, either. There's a restaurant in Sarasota that makes awesome pizza called Vertoris that I suppose has spoiled me with really great pizza (and a huge gluten-free menu: Open Original Shared Link. I had tried to go to Scalini's that day, but when we got there, they said they were out of the gluten free crust. In the future I'll call first, since it is a bit of a ways away from the parks.

Really looking forward to trying Azteca D'Oro now!

Pizza Fusion should be a good choice. They have great food and really good pizza. I would check them out or just see if any of the other restaurants have a gluten free entree.

There are a few gluten free restaurants with gluten free pizza in the Orlando area. To me, there are really only two good ones though. They are BJs Brewery and Red Brick Pizza. Both are found in multiple locations. Bjs Brewery has some of the best pizza i have ever had!

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
