I had to run a bunch of errands today and we went to a place called Red Brick Pizza in Kissimmee (there are a bunch in Orlando - tip for those who Vacation to Disney World)

WOW - just WOW - it did not taste like it was gluten free at all! I had a garlic white sauce on it (also gluten free) they have a whole menu that shows gluten free items! They also have Gluten free Gelato! And gluten free salad dressings! - The pizza is only personal sized but it is HUGE! my husband tried a bite of mine and he liked MINE better than his!!

We will go back!!

Johnny Brusco's has a gluten-free pizza and I want to try it, but I haven't been out in a while... Unfortunately I checked and there are no Red Brick's in my area. I've been really wanting some pizza but the frozen gluten-free ones are so expensive!

I have not found any frozen ones that don't have a bunch of junk on them (onions, peppers) I HATE those ok I'm also allergic to onions so LOL

I need to figure out a way to make my own pizza!

Yes, you do need to start making your own pizza! It's not at all difficult and you can put your favorite toppings on it and skip those you don't like.

You might want the check out The Pizza Crust Thread, which could keep you busy for a long while as you experiment to develop your perfect pizza.

Pizza is not really bad for you because it has grain,cheese and tomato sauce. these are normal healthy things but depends what kind of pizza it is. I like Pizza Fulham

Sylvia what do you put on yours and how do you make your crust?

I use the recipe on Jules Shepard's blog, which is Open Original Shared Link. There's a video you can watch, too. I do use her gluten-free flour, which I have to order direct, but here's a recipe for Open Original Shared Link, which I think hers is based on. When it's just me, I divide the dough/batter and make two smaller pizza crusts so put one pre-baked crust in the freezer for future use.

I use wet fingers to spread the dough in the pan. I have Fox Run Pizza Crisper pans with holes in them and even though you might not, line the pan with foil that's either been brushed with olive oil or sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray. I found spreading the dough with olive oil didn't work well for me at least. I do spray the dough again after it's spread out. Since I prefer a thinner crust, I make a 14" pizza instead of 12" that the recipe suggests.

As for toppings...what do you like on your pizza? What I put on mine varies as to what I'm hungry for...or how lazy I might feel at that particular time. laugh.gif My all-time favorite toppings are green pepper, onions and mushrooms sauteed in olive oil (as she suggests in the recipe). I also add crumbled sausage (I like Jimmy Dean's Sausage Crumbles as I don't have to fry it first) and Hormel Pepperoni as well as ripe olive slices. And I use both Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. I've been too lazy to make my own sauce so use either Classico or Ragu Pizza Sauce (read the labels to be sure they're gluten-free). I really do need to start making my own sauce, which I could freeze in containers.

Other times I've only used sausage and pepperoni...that's for when I'm lazy. Or you could do just veggies. It's all personal taste. My favorite is a loaded pizza with all of the above toppings. biggrin.gif

My 13-year old granddaughter will be spending the weekend with me and pizza is on the agenda for Sat. night. She loves to make it. I've ordered a pizza stone so I'm not sure we'll have it in time for this weekend.

Hope this helps...let me know if you have any more questions.

Edit: I've also used this recipe for foccacia and topped it with olive oil, sea salt and fresh rosemary. Yum!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
