Restaurant Inquiry For AZ gluten-free'ers

I came across a restaurant in my online scouring that seems to be run by people that are close to the gluten-free issue.

I have been wanting to go do a test run, but they are a little out of my general neighborhood so I haven't made it there yet.

Their menu is both loaded with items, and well identified on the menu. And Italian, to boot.

I'd love any feedback, positive or negative.

I highly recommend. I've been to their Scottsdale & Chandler locations & have only heard good things about the other locations. Separate prep areas, separate ovens.

Enjoy!

I was at their Sedona location a week ago and had a great experience.

Great to hear. I plan to try them out in the next week.

I'm also thinking about going to Flagstaff for Labor Day weekend and noticed they also have an address right on the main street there, Milton.

I have missed Italian food. A day of hiking followed by a good Italian meal, which isn't followed by bloating/constipation/cramps/joint pain, would be an epic day at this juncture of life.

Thanks for the feedback.

Tom - Chandler wasn't on their website or I would have went there last night. What are the cross streets?

We have eaten at Picazzos several times. We were visiting the one in Tempe/Chandler, ( 440 west warner road) but it has now changed hands is no longer a Picazzos.I've heard the new restaurant still has a gluten free menu, but we have not been there since it changed hands. I was sad they changed hands since that is the one that was fairly close to us. I love their salads and pizza and pastas. And they have deserts! They do a great job of keeping things seperate in the back do help prevent cross contact.

Try it out! We enjoy it.

I called them.(same phone number) It is the same manager there that was with Picazzos. Not sure what happened. The menu looks very similar. I just hope they keep the same good practices of keeping things seperate in the kitchen. We haven't tried it yet, but sure we will soon. Not sure why it all changed hands.

I loved Picazzos. I dont *remember* the one in Casa Grande having gluten-free-but that was Pre-gluten-free for me. It was independently owned (are they all?).

I believe the one in Tucson has closed. I looked at it online the other day and there were postings that it had closed.

I found the restaurant that used to be at Picazzos on Warner Road. It looks like the menu is very similar. The only downside is that Picazzo's had gone to all gluten free pasta to decrease risk of cross contact, but this new restaurant offers wheat pasta. Not sure how well they do of keeping things seperate in the back since Picazzos was so good at it.

Here is their website; We have not tried the new restaurant yet.

I love Picazzo's and visit them often.......usually the Tatum/Cactus location. The Diavolo pizza is my fav! YUM. I did recently go to the "old" one in Tempe. It was very good. They said that they just didn't want to pay the fee for the franchise so I guess they are mostly the same. I was able to get an open face sandwich there which was quite good. I didn't get sick afterward and they gave my Mom a free dessert when I mentioned it was her birthday so I hope they stay good!

Thanks for the info on the old Picazzos on Warner Road. I wonder why it was the same chef, pretty much the same menu, but a different name.

I called them, wanting desert. They no longer have the gluten free cheesecake or the gluten free apple crisp. I was alitte sad about that, as we loved their deserts. They still have their hot chocolate chip cookie with icecream though.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
