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!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
