gluten-free Pizza In Fremont, Ca (sf Bay Area)

I searched quite a few times and couldn't find anything, so I hope this isn't a repost.

It just so happens that my gluten-free wanted pizza tonight. I got a little depressed, but told her I'd pick up pizza for her.

Then, I go flipping through the Pennysaver and find a coupon page for ZPizza in Fremont. It say, "Gluten-Free crusts available".

I call ahead, and sure enough they have some!

I picked it up tonight, the guy at the restaurant and I spoke for a few minutes and he requested that I let him know what I thought about the crust. Out of all the things we spoke about, the actual KIND of crust used wasn't discussed.. sorry, I'll update this as soon as I find out. He did say I was the first person to order the crust, they recently added it to their menu.

But I feel fine :)

The pizza was GREAT. Hands-down the BEST gluten-free crust I've had (even better than corn tortillas lol). It was thin, and didn't break up in my mouth like other crusts do. The toppings and sauce made it a quite tasty feast. I'm definitely returning.

One of the best parts: PRICE

From receipt:

Z10 Create your own Pizza $6.95

Pepperoni $1.25

Salami $1.25

Italian Sausage $1.25

They're extra toppings are a bit pricey, but the base pizza DOESN'T COST ANY MORE THAN REGULAR CRUST!!!

I got this 10" 3-topping gluten-free pizza and a 14" Half Cheese Half Pepperoni, used the $5 coupon and paid $21.24 after tax.

The gluten-free option does not seem to be on their menu, and I'm not sure if it's chainwide.

Woohoo that's awesome!! :):D

I used to live in Fremont.

Went to the website & saw the pic of the place. Isn't that where Zorba's Deli used to be? Loved that place pre-gluten-free.

Haha actually same shopping center, but it's next to supercuts, where the old C.D. (EDIT: I didnt' realize it would change the abbreviation to CELIAC DISEASE... I was really confused when I re-read my post LOL) store was. Zorbas is still there, and yeah it was good...sigh...

Another chain that offers gluten free pizza is Pizza Fusion. I've had it once; it was a little pricey but quite good. Fresh out of the oven, it is indistinguishable from regular wheat dough based crust. It gets a little less stable as it cools, but still is quite good overall. I recommend it.

They have a fair number of locations in several states.

This is so COOL! There's a ZPizza close to me (actually there are a lot of them in SoCal) and I called them and they DO have gluten free pizza crust! They said that they just started carrying it and that currently they only have it in the smallest size (personal pizza), but they may get larger crusts in the future.

Thanks for posting!

Cool, that's great to hear it's chain-wide!! If anyone would do it, it'd be Z-Wave with their "health-concious menu".

The pizza is fantastic the second day around (reheated). Better than some pizza joints I visited pre-gluten-free.

This is so funny, i was just going to ask about this place. They are opening one in Burbank in a few weeks and had the menu on the door. I didnt think anything of it until in the tiny print i saw "gluten free crust available at some locations"

I hope the Burbank one is one of them.

      Gluten food test strips

      I just recently saw something on this. Has anyone tried test strips? Which brand is better? Not sure how they really work and if they really do work. Thank you, Nancy (aka Borky)

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive. The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine. I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      At 41 years old I have been fighting fatigue and joint pain for a couple months. My family doctor kept saying nothing was wrong but I was insistent that I just didn’t feel right. Finally after running several blood labs, one came back showing inflammation in my body and I was referred to a rheumatologist. He was extremely thorough and sat with me and m...

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive.  The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine.  I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy results.  The endoscopy has been the Gold Standard diagnostic, and most healthcare providers won't diagnose celiac disease until your intestinal lining Marsh Score reaches stage 3. You don't really want to wait for the damage to get worse, especially since only five days mostly gluten free gave you relief.  Yes, migranes is one of the 200 symptoms that may be caused by Celiac Disease. Malabsorption Syndrome is often comorbid with celiac disease.  The western diet is deficient in many vitamins and minerals.  That's why gluten processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free processed foods are not; Vitamin D deficiency is a virtual given.  40 to 60% of the industrial population is deficient in vitamin D, Damage to the intestinal lining from celiac disease can decrease the number of vitamin D receptors.  So now you get no vitamin D from the sun (skin cancer scare) the major source of vitamin D, plus absorbtion from food is poor because of intestinal damage.   Low iodine intake is getting more of a concern because the major source of iodine used to be bread (dough conditioner with iodine was stopped in the US in the 1970s), dairy (lactose intolerance from eating quick pickles with vinegar instead of fermented pickles which supply lactase excreting lactobacillus to improve Lactose intolerance. Commercial Dairies have wheat, barley and rye added to the cow feed. Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein causing the problem.  And people use less iodized salt.  In the US intake of iodine dropped 50% from 1970 to 1984. Switch to Grass fed only milk and consider supplementing Liquid Iodine drops to your diet.  The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of commercial milk is 5:1; Organic milk is 3:1 and grass fed milk is 1:1. The typical western diet is around 14:1, optimum for humans is 1:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1 omega 6:3.  Choose vegetables lower in omega 6, it is inflammatory. Eat fermented foods and switch to Grass fed only milk.  Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein.

      At 41 years old I have been fighting fatigue and joint pain for a couple months.  My family doctor kept saying nothing was wrong but I was insistent that I just didn’t feel right.  Finally after running several blood labs, one came back showing inflammation in my body and I was referred to a rheumatologist.  He was extremely thorough and sat with me and my family for a good hour asking questions and listening. He ordered X-rays of all my joints and more bloodwork.  He suspected some sort of reactive inflammatory arthritis.  My TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) came back at 34. he told me to try going gluten free and out me on Salfasalzin to help the join inflammation.  Over the next couple days going gluten free and doing a lot of research and talking to people with celiacs,  we found that I should have an upper endoscopy for insurance purposes in the future.  I reached back out to my rheumatologist and expressed this concern and he got back to me stating I was correct and resume regular gluten diet and stop the medication until after that scope.     They were able to schedule me in for 2 days later.  I had been gluten free, or as close to it as I could be for about 5 days.  I know I ate some brats with it but wanted to use them up.  My symptoms had gotten slightly better in those 5 days.  I felt less fatigue and joint pain was slightly better(it had gotten really bad) so for these last 2 days I’ve gone crazy with wheat bread, pasta and such.  I’m hoping those 5 days didn’t screw this endoscopy up.  I can’t imagine after a life of gluten, my intestines healed in 5 days and after eating gluten again for these couple days,  my stomach hurts, joint pain is coming back up so I know the inflammation is there.   Hinesight after this diagnosis, I have had chronic migraines since my late teens.  Has that been a lingering symptom of celiacs all these years?  I’ve never really had the stomach issues, for me it came in heavy these last couple months as the fatigue, just always feeling tired and exhausted.  And the joint pain.     So getting in the car for the 2 hour drive to the hospital for this scope now.     Wish me luck!

      To play it safe, use Vasoline Lip Therapy. No questions as to it containing gluten.
