Hey everyone!

I am 20 yrs old and was diagnosed with celiac disease last year. I am new to this site and it seems very confusing but i finally found out how to post and would like to share my experience with a gluten free pizzaria i went to yesterday!

The resturant is called majora trattoria in glen rock, NJ

The pizza was good. It was thin crust and and they have prettymuch any topping you want! I think many celiacs would agree that getting gluten free pizza at a resturant is amazing and an exciting experience! I also had the raviolis (shared with my mother and sister) and they were absolutly amazing! Tasted completley normal. I wouls definitely recommend this resturant and please let me know if anyone knows of more pizzarias that offer gluten-free pizza in or around the surrounding area!

Hi there!

My daughter, who is 11 years old and was diagnosed with celiac when she was seven years old.

First, I wanted to ask you if you know what they do about separating the pizza from the non-gluten pizza. Do they have a separate oven?

We had a bad experience with cross contamination at an Italian restaurant in Tarrytown advertising gluten free pasta. They had the gluten free pasta, but cooked it in the regular pasta water and she had a major reaction.

Next, we do know of two places that make gluten free pizza in the area. One is in NYC on Bleeker Street called Risottoria. We have eaten there many times and it is great. Fabulous pizza (thin crust, just like in Italy) and risotto with no reactions. They even have breadsticks, gluten free beer, chocolate chip cookies, Fudgies (their own invention of choco chip cookies wi. fudge filling) that are all gluten free.)

They also have regular pizza.

The second place is one we haven't tried yet and were just told about. It is in Livingston, NJ. Calabria Pizzeria & Restaurant at 588 South Livingston Avenue between Northfield & Hobart Gap Rd. Phone 9973) 992-8496. They say they also serve Pasta. It's on the way to the Short Hills Mall!

Please let me know if you have further info regarding Majora Trattoria's pizza. When I googled them there were some comments saying what a small brick oven they had and how busy they are. It just made me a little nervous about how careful they are about the CC.

hi!

What they do to separate the pizza from the oven is place it on a "pedastal"

type device sao it does not come in contact with the oven itself. However, as i am sure you know, there is always a risk of cross contamination when eating out but i believe this particular resturant partnered up with the Celiac Disease Awareness group which ensures there is no cross contamination if they can help it. The ravioli is outstanding! I have actually heard of the one in NYC and have not been there yet but i never knew about the one in livingston! My sister works in that town actually and i am so excited to try more!

At Majora Trattoria i know they serve other pasta such as rotini and linguini when we went on sunday. The crust of the pizza is actually not made there, it comes out of a package from a company. I forget the company but that might also help your daughter considering there is no spreading out of the dough or anything such as that.

Thank you so much for the information! I don't know if you also know of a place called Janice A. Bistro in HoHoKus off of Rt. 17 but they serve gluten free pasta as well and bread before the meal. Also there is a small chain called Maggianos (there is one on rt. 4 near/in the riverside square mall) which is very delicious and extremely accomodating! I hope this all helps!

i went to mangia trattoria for the first time tonight and it was AWESOME! first off it was so cool to just go into a local place (my mom lives less than 20 mins away) and grab some pizza. it came in real pizza boxes which was fun, i felt normal! the best part about the pizza is that isn't super small. it's not quite normal size but it's one of the largest sized gluten-free pizza's i've had. they were super nice and i got one pizza with pepperoni and the other veggies. very excellent! they also do pasta dishes (but i just got pizza).

Guest Jemenii36

that is great to hear! The pizza is good but half the fun of going is just getting something you cannot normally get when eating out...I am glad you enjoyed it! It is nice to have something around the north nj area, as there are not tons off option but definitely enough to keep me satisfied :)

There crusts are from a company called stillridingpizza.com. Check there website. They supply special equipment and instructions regarding CC. But ultimately, it's up to the restaurant to follow the instructions. I went to a pizzeria in Manhasset on Saturday that uses these crusts. It was pretty good and the leftovers reheated well in the toaste oven in my office. Call the restaurant to assure yourself that they follow the instructions.

Hi,

I just read about a place called Pizza Fusion that will be opening in Ridgewood, NJ. They have a website you can check out.

Just went to Joe's Pizza in Summit, NJ and had pizza. It was very good.

Little expensive at $19 for what I would call a medium pizza. It was not an individual but also not as large as a regular pizza. It was 6 slices which I could have eaten all in one sitting. I didn't - save some for dinner.

I was a little leary as I didn't know if they had great CC defenses but I didn't feel any issues after eating it.

In NYC, I really, really recommend Pala in the lower east side (I believe it is on Allen St, off Houston st)

Open Original Shared Link

Fantastic pizza, gluten free calamari and deserts. Pizza is based on chickpeas and actually better than most wheat based pizzas.

FYI: there is also a great gluten free bakery somewhat in the area. Tulu's. I believe it is on 11th st bet. 1st and 2nd ave.

I am not a paid spokesperson :)

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
