Kinda Unknown G/f Restaurants California

I had to let everyone know about some awesome restaurants I have found that have gluten free choices. I always love finding places to eat! Ok, here goes, I'm gonna play food critic :rolleyes:

Ciao Bella in Riverside - Open Original Shared Link

They have gluten free woodfired pizza (good but not the best I've had) and gluten free pastas. I had the Chicken Farfalle and it was the best pasta dish I have ever had! Its a pretty cool little restaurant too. Kinda romantic.

ZPizza - Everywhere! They have 51 locations in California alone and most have gluten free pizza! ZPizza.com

The pizza was about an 8 out of 10 as far as gluten free pizza's go. I would go back for sure. They also have soy cheese but its not dairy free.

Doughboys Pizza in Grover Beach (near Pismo) 1800 E Grand Ave, #N, Grover Beach, CA 93433

This was the best gluten free pizza I have ever had and probably right up there with the best all around pizza I have had! The woman who owns it is a retired dietician who spent months trying different crust recipes until she got it PERFECT! I just wish I lived closer, we went there while on vacation in central California.

Brick Oven Pizza in Poway - Open Original Shared Link

Really good pizza! Been there a few times.

Wow, can you tell I really miss pizza?!?

I would love anyone else's "hidden" gluten free dining places!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a ZPizza 1 mile away. I just called them and they will start carrying the gluten-free pizza in about a week. She said they all have to be "certified" and watch a video first. Up until now we would drive down to San Diego...a couple hours away...buy several and freeze them....now I can have it fresh again....I am sooooooo excited.

If you call the chef at the Pechanga Cafe a few days in advance they will make you a 3 course gluten-free meal for about $25.00 a person depending on what you order. I went there on Satruday and it was soooo good, the chef cooks in another kitchen separate from everything else and actaully read on celiac. He also said if you didnt want to eat there other places will cook for us. Dont let cafe fool you lol, the chef there is awesome.

I will second your endorsement of Doughboys Pizza in Pismo!!!! It is the single best gluten free pizza crust I've ever had. Its a great crust among gluten contenders, but THE BEST among the gluten free!! Whenever we're in the area (we live hours south in LA), we make a detour to Doughboys --its worth the time. And they sell Gluten Free BEER!

gluten-free Pizza and beer, what more could you ask for. I LOVE DOUGHBOYS.

Hello, Thank you for letting us know about these choices! I had just found out about ZPizza in Upland, CA. (and Redlands too, although I haven't looked into it and it sounds as if not all the branches have gluten-free pizza. ). I didn't know about Ciao Bella, sounds good! Have you been to Pizza Fusion in Temecula?

Thanks,

Patty

I'm a bit wary of the restaurant thing. Only been doing this a bit over a month. How careful are the pizza places about cross contamination? It seems to be that a pizza place would have flour everywhere....

Have you had any good conversations with managers?

Thanks. =)

I'll join you in getting out the great restaurant info. Just came back from Philadelphia and ate at Davio's downtown. EXCELLENT gluten free seperate menu. I had the Penne with smoked chicken and walnut cream sauce. TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!

Check out the gluten-free menu :

Garlic Jim's uses a special gluten-free flour on all their pizzas. They say it's the only flour being tossed around.

I've successfully eaten at both ZPizza and Pizza Fusion. They both have Daiya cheese, which is tapioca based (and casein-free), so that's great for those of us who are gluten-free/CF. The crust at ZPizza is sweeter - I think perhaps b/c of sugar?

I've asked at both places regarding CC, and it seems very safe. I seem to remember ZPizza telling me the gluten-free crusts are made in a separate facility, and are already rolled-out when they arrive at the store, so they don't get processed with/near the gluten crusts.

P.S. Don't forget P.F. Chang's!! They've got a great gluten-free menu!

Carino's restaurants have a gluten free menu. I've not eaten there, but I get their email ads, so checked it out online.

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
