Just found out that several of the zpizzas near me (South Riding and Haymarket) offer gluten-free pizza!!! :D I am so excited - cannot wait to try it! I used to love their pizza before going gluten-free. I'm sure some of the other locations also offer it -- those are the only two that I checked on though.

They started serving gluten-free pizza down here in Raleigh about a month or so ago. I thought it was great!!! And they are VERY careful about contamination. Hope you get to give it a try soon!

I had it at the Duke Street location in Alexandria! To me, it's much better than the gluten-free pizza at Uno, which I did not care for at all. The only thing that could use some help is their sauce, which I find to be a bit bland. I like a nice zesty sauce. Several of the salad dressings are gluten-free as well so I will definitely be going back!

We just tried the Raleigh location tonight. It was pretty good, okay, I lied, it was damn good for not having to make pizza! I was a little bummed because they burnt the crust on mine and while trying to figure out why the online ordering didn't charge my card correctly (the additional $3 for each gluten-free crust) the pizza sat for ten minutes getting cold. Then I had another ten minute drive back to my house. The kids didn't care though, they devoured it! We're definitely going to try it again.

That sucks they burned your crust! But, I felt the same way when I had it. I loved their pizza before gluten-free, so I was really excited when I found out they were doing gluten-free. The crust is the best that I've had of the others I've tried (Uno's, Lily's, and I've only had Bella Monica frozen, but thought it was better than that too) so far.

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Not to be a downer :( but my partner and I tried the gluten free pizza at Zpizza in Foothill Ranch, CA and were sorely disappointed. I tried the mozarella with sausage and he had the soy cheese with pepperoni. Not very good, expensive, small. (Only available personal size.) I rather preferred the frozen Glutino brand spinach/feta (I believe) - cheaper, better tasting, and just about the same size. I'd say everyone should at least try as it's probably a matter of taste but this did not work for us at all.

It was very expensive - but I thought well worth it! I had the Provence -- was very tasty!! My daughter had the sausage and cheese and she loved it. My non-Celiac husband and non-Celiac oldest daughter split a large (half ZBQ/half pepperoni). Our bill was almost $40!! No drinks or anything else -- 40 bucks!!! :o Yikes! For that reason alone, we won't be doing this very often - but loved the taste. We picked it up and brought it home -- and was much better reheated, than just straight out of the pizza box.

We had never been there before, but I can see how it would have been a popular choice. We still haven't tried Lily's since it's downtown and we're just not in that area very often. Uno's is good, but I wish they'd offer more toppings. We'll definitely go back to Zpizza! It's also closer to our house than any of the other options. Thanks for the recommendation!

Oh, we did try Bella Monica's frozen pizza recently. I'd have to say it's the best of any frozen I've had. Thanks for that recommendation too!

Ours was very expensive too. I was kind of shocked by the price! I believe it's $10 for each 10" pizza and then an additional $3 for the gluten-free crust. Our whole family is gluten-free so that adds up!

While I was thrilled to discover ZPizza offers a gluten free crust, the price is RIDICULOUS in Southern California. I got a personal 10 inch pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms with an iced tea and it was SEVENTEEN DOLLARS!!! Seventeen dollars for a personal pizza and a tea. That's worse than buying in an airport. They have a $4.25 surcharge for gluten free crust here in So Cal and it's not posted anywhere in the place. A TOTAL RIP OFF. A for effort, F for price.

It's $3 bucks here in NC, I was surprised too. Everywhere else has the same pricing across the board. I think it's probably because they don't make it there, as opposed to the other places (I'm speaking locally based on my experience), and it is ordered from Domata Living Flour. Having said that, I do wonder sometimes if companies do stuff like that because they know we'll pay for it.

Maybe if enough of us band together and complain about the price, they'll do something.

Oh this is awesome! There's one right down the street. I've never tried them, but you can bet I will!!!

[update] And I see we are in their delivery radius!!!!

[update] I just called and they are OUT of gluten-free crust until sometime next week. That's less than useful.

Yeah, the pizza is kinda pricey. I can't remember how much my total was, but I know once I added the price for the topping, gluten-free crust, delivery, AND salad, my bill was pretty high.

Restaurants.com has gift certificates on sale pretty often (usually a $25 gift certificates cost $10.). I got a few $10 gift certificates yesterday for 90 cents each. That will definitely help with my zPizza bill!

I sent them an email thanking them profusely for their considerations for us, blah blah blah. And put in there that the price was a bit steep, especially when you take into account that many families are gluten free and it would thus be cost prohibitive for them to eat out.

They did respond and say that they valued customer feedback and would pass it along, and all that fun stuff. Maybe it will help, I don't know. But, I did also mention that it wasn't advertised at being $3 extra, so it maybe wouldn't be so bad if they would let people know in advance before getting to the register and finding a pizza of that size to be upwards of $15 was a little steep. Things like are always taken better if they're not hidden.

Anyway, thought I'd let you know it'd be worth a shot emailing them.

Good thinking! I will do the same! If we all did -- maybe they'd rethink the prices just a bit! Wishful thinking I know -- but it's worth a shot!

There is also a survey you can fill out for a $5 coupon. However, it doesn't have a place for customer comments (I was planning on saying something about the price and how it wasn't advertised). I think I will try to email them as well. I do appreciate their effort, and I know I will go back, but for the same price I could go to Uno's and get three adult meals, all gluten-free, including one personal pizza, which is much larger.

I tried out Z Pizza and I have to say I was disappointed. It was quite pricey, rather small, and too thin. It couldn't hold it's toppings. I've found several other places around me to serve better gluten-free pizza. I did see however their is a Pizza Fusion in Glen Allen, VA. You should check them out; their pizza is better.

Thanks for the tip! I looked at Pizza Fusion's website (great sounding company!) but the only location they have in VA right now is in Richmond, which is unfortunately about 3 hours away. :( Hopefully they'll be opening more closer to me!

I finally got to try ZPizza last night. I got home late so I had to warm up the pizza (probably not a fair comparison). I liked it at least as well as the Uno's gluten-free pizza. The nice thing about ZPizza is that they do multiple toppings on the pizza. At Uno's, it's either pepperoni or cheese. No black olives or any *FRESH* ingredients like green peppers or onions.

A tip on reheating -- everyone probably already knows this but anyway -- I like to reheat pizza in a frying pan, especially Zpizza pizza because their crust is so nice and thin. It comes out so light and crispy, better I think even than fresh out of their oven, since they use a special gluten-free pan and the pizza doesn't get to actually touch the pizza oven to get nice and crispy!

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!
