Pizza Fusion In Pittsburgh Pa

Hi,

My husband's birthday is this Saturday (Valentines Day) and we were thinking of going to Pizza Fushion in Pittsburgh PA. Their menu online tells of gluten free pizza, brownies and beer. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it and if so how was it ? We live about an hour and twenty minutes from Pittsburgh and just wanted to know if it was worth the drive.

Thanks

Sue

Hi Sue,

I will be very honest with you about this. We have a Pizza Fusion in So Cal and I ate there. I was disapointed, the pizza is ok but is not worth the money at all. I still think you should go just so you know for yourself, have to try it at least once. You do have a long drive to get there so this will give you something to think about.

The pizza is small, it has a very thin crust. I had pepperoni with soy cheese and cost me 34 dollars after a small tip.

Call some of your local eateries, I am going to a casino near me who has cooked everything gluten-free before. They are even making a flourless chocolate cake for my bf and I. There are places that will cater to you.

We like Uno's in Cranberry Twp much better. Pizza Fusion is in Gibsonia so actually you would be closer to Uno's.( coming up 79) And the price is so reasonable at Uno's - under $12.00. I know a family of four 2 adults.& 2 kids went to pizza fusion -the adults had a beer a piece plus a gluten-free pizza. the bill was $75.00

I can give you directions if you need them......

Hi Mamaw,

Thank you for letting me know about Uno's I would love directions. Is it anywhere near the mall at Robinson ? We go there a couple times a month. Is their pizza gluten free ?

Thank,

Sue

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for letting me know how it is at Pizza Fusion. We wanted to try it because we saw there is one in Orlando Fl and have reservations for Disney World in June. We are trying to find places that we can eat at while on vacation there. We live in a very small town in Ohio and the only place to go out to eat is either Outback or Red Lobster (if my husband orders crab legs or lobster from Red Lobster).

A lot of the resturants and caters here in the town we live in aren't aware of what celiac sprue is and what gluten free is. I wish we had more options like California. I am from California myself, I was born and rasied there. I have only lived here in Ohio for 12 years.

Thanks again

Sue

Last time I checked, Pizza Fusion uses crusts from Still Riding Pizza.

I thought Pizza Fusion was okay, but not fabulous. But back in my gluteny days, I thought that Domino's Pizza was also okay, but not fabulous. So maybe I'm not a good one to ask!

It IS nice to be able to go out for pizza (they also deliver, though not an hour and a half away!) and not have to make the crust myself. But I'm getting a lot better and faster at making crusts, so we haven't been back to Pizza Fusion (it was really expensive). I'd like to try the Uno's in Cranberry, though!

Hi Sue

I just found this message where you needed directions! I'm sorry I forgot to flag this message & then I missed your question....

If you get on 79 & follow to Cranberry exit , this will put you on Rt19, go to the intersection of 19&Rt 228, turn left, go down two or three lights & Uno's is on the left beside Quaker Steak & Lube.

It is probably about 20 minutes from Robinson. I'm terrible about distances. It would be closer than pizza fusion.from Rt79.

WE are in Robinson every two weeks & it takes us about an hour to get there from our house & we are 20-25 minutes from Cranberry Twp.

Sorry on the late reply..

I'm so glad you posted this -- we are at the Wexford office of Children's so often, and we get off in Cranberry and go right through Rt. 19, and I never thought to consider any of those restaurants. I'll keep Uno's in mind for our next trip!

Hi, I know its past Valentines by about a week. Sorry I missed your message. Happy belated B-day to your DH.

We loved Pizza Fusion. My DS13 said it was the best Pizza he ever had in his life.

I'm glad to know that the Uno's is gluten-free. Thanks Mamaw. I had written Uno's corporate and was sent a list of states that had gluten-free menus and only places like Vermont were on it. Glad to know there is another one close. :)

Thought you all might like to know that on Tuesdays they have a gluten free special pizza and ANY gluten-free drinks (including beer/wine) for a cheap price--I can't remember exactly what that cost was, but it makes me want to try to get there on Tuesdays. :rolleyes:

      @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 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.):
