Anyone who has Pizza Fusion in their state, have you tried the gluten-free crust? We just had a restaurant move into HOuston, right in my area, and was wanting to know if you liked the pizzas.

I went there before I was diagnosed so I didn't try the gluten free crust. I had a regular crust pizza and I liked it. I hear they use Tom Sawyer flour for their pizza crusts. In Arizona there is 1 company that supplies gluten free crusts to a few different chains, they use the Tom Sawyer flour, I have had one of those from Barro's Pizza and it was good. I'm not sure it's the same crust Pizza Fusion in Houston would use, but they are the same supplier for our local Pizza Fusion.

I have had their pizza a few times....I think it is pretty good.

I have had their gluten free pizza and the brownie that they offer and I like them both pretty well. Since it is an hours drive to the nearest one where I am at here in Ca, and the cost, we don't go very often. B)

Thanks for the input. I couldn't believe it when I found out this is the first Pizza Fusion in Texas, let alone Houston, and here it is 2 miles away. I am supposing that they are a bit pricey. But I haven't had a pizza FOREVER !!!!!

The one I have here sells gluten free beer too. It is the more expensive Greene;s brand but it was good to have pizza and a cold beer together.

That sounds great! I have only tried Redbridge beer, so that would be something different for me!

I personally wouldn't go back to Pizza Fusion. I went to the San Diego location. The pizza was mediocre. It was made with Bob's Red Mill and you could tell it WAS gluten free - very bean tasting. The whole pizza was not tasty at all - it totally lacked flavor. It was also a $30 pizza - which is RIDICULOUS. I am not going back. I can seriously make a pizza 20X better at home.

I have been to the one on Biscayne in Miami and thought the Pizza was amazing, especially as I hadn't had any pizza for a few months BUT it is disgustingly expensive for the size of it. It comes in a large only, which is a good job because it's not a large you are used to. It really is a "restaurant" not a pizza joint like you would expect. It is fancy, nice furniture, nice wine list etc etc. I also had the brownies, the manager gave us extra too which was a bonus because they were yummy!

I have to admit, despite the great taste (crust tasted more like a regular flour crust) the nice setting and great brownies, I haven't been back. It's down to the cost and it's just too expensive. This is a case when I truly feel they are jacking up the price to take advantage for a limited market in a restaurant setting, not a pizza place setting. Much like Amy's and Glutino's frozen ones. I can buy the corn flour and make it myself for the SAME price as if I was to make it with regular flour.

I did however go to Slice in Ft Lauderdale this past weekend and spoke to the part owner, Aaron Carter (yes the dancing with the stars, backstreet boy baby brother and teen heartthrob) and asked him about a gluten free pizza... his words were "it's done" so watch this space!!! hopefully we will have a true pizza parlor that caters to gluten free slice lovers!!!

Same with the one by me. It's not my favorite, but better than nothing!

First time posting since they changed the site, so hope this works right.

I will never go back to that place, way over priced for what you get. And to be honest, when I ate there I had terrible terrible gas and I had my pizza made with soy cheese.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
