Boston's Gourmet Pizza - Mckinney, Tx

I wanted to relay my experience with Boston's Gourmet Pizza in McKinney, Texas - it was truly awesome!

After reading a post on another message board that mentioned they had a gluten free pizza crust, I was dying to try it but was super worried about CC.

I called and talk to a gal that knew they offered gluten-free crusts, but didn't really know much more; like is it prepared away from the regular crust? is it baked on a dedicated pan? in the same oven as the regular pizzas? I asked for a manager and was put on hold for about 5 min. When she came back she said the manager was busy (boo!) but that she had gone and talked to the cook (yay! for taking initiative!). He said the gluten-free pizzas were baked on dedicated pans. No info about prep, so I was a little scared but was really craving pizza. So we placed a GOOD TO GO order (curbside pickup).

Probably not the smartest move on my part, but hey, I did it.

Five minutes after I got off the phone with this gal, she called me back to tell me she was misinformed about the sizes, and that the gluten-free only came in the small. She just wanted to make sure my order was right, and she didn't want to make me sick, she said. :) Sweet girl. So we fixed the order (hubby had regular pizza) and headed that way for pickup.

When we got there, she brought the pizzas out and said "The gluten one is on top." I said, "so mine is the bottom one then?" and she said "No, look, I labeled it gluten free for you." Bless her heart. Her terminology was wrong but her heart was in the right place!

I'm happy to report that I came home, ate over half of my gluten-free pizza (got the Sicilian - YUM) and DID NOT get sick!!!

Hooray for gluten-free pizza that I don't have to make myself! :)

My husband & I went to Boston's last night.

I had a veggie pizza with the gluten free crust. I agree, it was delicious!

I went to the one in Fort Worth a couple of weeks ago. Was really happy. They didn't make a production out of my order, and when it came out, the person who cooked it brought it out and told me that he used a clean pan and fresh utensils, so there would be no concern of cross contamination. The important thing to me is that the kitchen staff understands, which they did.

I had the hawaiian, and it was super yummy!

Ack! I'm in Mckinney! We are casein free, but the kids tolerate a little cheese here and there as long as it's not a daily thing. They have never had gluten free pizza out, what a treat this will be! Thanks, I had no idea there was gluten-free pizza right in my neighborhood!

I am so excited to hear about this! I am in McKinney also. Cannot wait to go and try a pizza!

I've read several good things about Boston's in McKinney. I'm glad to hear about them catering to special dietary needs as well.

(I was doing a search for McKinney and this came up and peaked my interest and I just thought I'd keep myself posted by signing up. plus I think my dad is doing gluten free)

Just in case anyone else searches for McKinney (or Frisco or Plano or Allen) and wants someone local to talk to....

There's a new informal support group that has started up called "Gluten Free Frisco".

Hopefully we'll get enough local members to start having meet-ups and maybe a dinner group too!

The link is in my signature. Please come join us!

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
