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'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!

      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 🤍

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
