Extreme Pizza - Gluten Free Pizza And Salads

www.extremepizza.com Extreme Pizza now offers a Gluten-Free Menu!

The crust is "Still Riding" crust, and is excellent. The typical "gluten-free taste" is not there and the crust NEVER overpowers the sauce or toppings.

The toppings are excellent and flavorful.

The sauce is very good, with a slight kick.

The closest chain I would compare it to is Round Table Pizza, but I like Extreme Pizza even more.

The pizzas are available in "Medium" 12" pizzas, which easily lasts two meals even if I'm real hungry. The cost is $16-20 depending on toppings. A BOGO 50% coupon is easy to find (there was one on the to-go menu at the location I was at), so buy a pizza with a friend a keep costs down.

They have a brochure that explains their "gluten-free" process.

I look forward to trying their gluten-free salads. Apparently, they have gluten-free crutons.

Wow! Which location did you go to? There is one by me that I went to about two years ago and I had a salad. :angry: I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Sorry, I went to the Newark, Ca location.

It looks like their gluten-free participation is spreading. If you choose "store locator" and "order online" the gluten free menu will appear if they have it available.

YAY!!! You just made my day! Thanks for posting this. We have an Extreme Pizza nearby, which I just called, and they DO have gluten-free pizza. It's prepped and cooked separately from the regular pizza. I told them to save me one for the weekend. It's been way too long... I love their Pandora's Box pizza. :D

I emailed them and asked them to add gluten free options in Issaquah.

If anyone else wants to email them, here's the address:

contactus@extremepizza.com

I'll have to keep them in mind when I vacation in California this summer.

So, I have gone three times now.

All three times have been consistent (very good).

Something to keep in mind though: Pick-up or Dine In may be the best option--when I picked up the pizza's yesterday, the guy running the register (pretty sure he was a manager) noticed that my pizza wasn't gluten free. He said it showed up on the screen, not on the receipt, but reviewed the info with what looked like a new employee.

They made me a gluten-free pizza, deducted $5 off the bill (in which I was already using one of their BOGO 50% coupons), and gave me the non-gluten-free pizza which I gave to a friend.

It's funny--can anyone else tell a wheat-flour pizza by the smell, because after almost three years now, I sure can... wheat-flour pizza crust smells a bit pungent to me..

Ooh.. there's one of these not too far from where I work! I'll call them later and see if they have a gluten-free option. If so, I'll try to go this week.

I've had the gluten-free pizza at Z Pizza and it's pretty awful. :(

We had pizza delivered from Extreme Pizza Saturday night. I enjoyed mine, first non-homemade pizza I've had in more than a year. However, they sent (and charged for) BOTH pizzas gluten free. My sweetie was not pleased, but ate hers anyway, said she didn't like the crust. We could've sent it back, but she decided not to. The biggest problem was the cost! We could've gone to Outback for the cost of the 2 medium gluten-free pizzas. I agree with Smeech, though, pick up or dine in is probably a better option than delivery, so you can check the order.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, @yellowstone, you are not alone.  I've experienced such treatment throughout my life.   Some people have the herd mentality, much like cattle, where the sick or lame are pushed to the fringes of the herd where wolves can pick them off easily, thus ensuring the health of the rest of the herd.   Some people fear what they don't understand.  They choose ignorance.  Rudeness, contempt, hostility, and belittling are all behaviors meant to ostracize and control others.  If you and your needs can be minimized or dismissed altogether, then they don't have to take on the responsibility of helping.  Some are just mean and petty.  They are so small, fearful, and insecure within themselves, they find some twisted satisfaction in putting you down so they can feel better about themselves.    People can't give what they don't have.  They have not developed the internal strengths, courage, and compassion required to help another person.  Some are fearful of losing what little they do have if they attempt to help.  Much like a drowning man may endanger a rescuer trying to pull them to shore, many choose to swim away instead of helping because they know they are not good enough swimmers.  Many don't take the time to practice swimming, or giving of their heart.  Many feel awkward and clumsy in their misguided helpful attempts, so they give up trying at all.   Other diseases have been "glamorized" to some degree.  Famous people have raised awareness of various diseases, resulting in greater social acceptance and monetary support, but this is superficial.  The daily struggles are left unexamined behind a curtain of privacy.   The crucible of Celiac Disease not only refines us and makes us stronger, it purges our lives of people who don't have the mettle required to positively contribute to and be included in our lives.  Let them go.  Their leaving will make room for more constructive relationships with people who are more enlightened and capable.  You've found your tribe here.  Be encouraged! Take care of yourself.  Taking a B Complex, like Life Extension's Bioactive B Complex, is beneficial in boosting the absorption and utilization of these essential life sustaining vitamins.  Benfotiamine helps heal the intestines along with Vitamin A, Theanine, and Tryptophan.  Thiamine TTFD helps immensely with the neurological symptoms along with Neuromag, a form of magnesium that helps the brain function.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and supports the thyroid and bone health.  https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item01945/bioactive-complete-b-complex?srsltid=AfmBOoqCnzmSXIlbatQqayiGmhTJUFm-XVjOeIMcjAmJJ7mqWWpBbnUc

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      My celiac symptoms are extra-digestive; if I had to classify them, I’d say they are predominantly neurological: extreme fatigue that prevents me from making physical or intellectual effort, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, clumsy movements, pain… When I’m at my worst, I notice that some people behave hostilely toward me: they speak to me rudely, become authoritarian, belittle me, look at me and treat me with contempt… This made me question many aspects of my life and how others perceived me: What was it about me that seemed to bother others so much? What could I do to fix it? Paying closer attention, when I was sicker, others saw me as cold, distant, as not talking too much, less engaged, apathetic, sad… All of this, far from being intentional, was just how my symptoms—and my attempt to cope with them—manifested to others. But objectively, was my behavior harmful or detrimental to anyone? Did I deserve the treatment some people were giving me? No, my behavior doesn’t harm anyone, and if someone feels uncomfortable, the solution would be to walk away, not to treat me like s$#&. And here are the unanswered questions: What leads a person to interpret illness symptoms as something offensive? What kind of issues do these people have? How are people with degenerative or other types of illnesses who are in a situation of dependency treated? Am I the only one these things happen to?

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      By knightayres · Posted

      I was wondering if your shakes and off balance went away after stopping gluten?

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By drjay · Posted

      Thanks, yall! The tough part now is figuring out if I’m actually feeling better or is it some form of placebo effect. I do actually feel better but I’m not positive if I may just be gaslighting myself lol

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      @drjay in addition to what @trents wrote, I wanted to comment on your statement, "Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02 but negative for DQ8" You don't need DQ2 >and< DQ8 in order to be susceptible to getting celiac. Either one is good enough. DQB1*02 is a specific genetic allele that encodes part of the DQ2 protein. "Homozygous" means two copies of the same allele (the opposite is "heterozygous", where the two copies are different alleles). If you are homozygous for DQB1*02, you couldn't have DQ8. In other words, your genetic test tells you that you definitely have the potential to get celiac.
