Celiac.com 04/12/2024 - In the heart of Wales, near the iconic Pembroke Castle, lies a notable pizzeria. Giovanni Recchia, the mastermind behind the acclaimed Gio Recchia Pizza Contemporania, has recently earned international recognition for his exceptional gluten-free pizza creation. Giovanni's journey to culinary stardom reached new heights when he participated in the prestigious Campionato del Mondo di Pizza, the renowned Pizza World Championships held in Rimini, Italy. Competing against hundreds of talented pizza makers from around the globe, Giovanni secured second place in the gluten-free category, a testament to his unparalleled skill and creativity. Imaginative Toppings and Meticulous Craftsmanship What sets Giovanni's prize-winning pizza apart is not only its gluten-free nature but also its imaginative toppings and meticulous craftsmanship. His winning creation boasted a symphony of flavors and textures, featuring an onion cream base, fior di latte mozzarella, crunchy onion, and red onion cooked in beer. Utilizing the leftover liquid from cooking the onions, Giovanni ingeniously crafted an onion beer gel to enhance the dish's complexity. To elevate the taste profile further, he added onion mayonnaise and burnt onion powder, resulting in a pizza masterpiece that tantalizes the taste buds. This isn't Giovanni's first taste of success at the Pizza World Championships. In the previous year, he clinched victory in the Mystery Box competition, showcasing his ability to create exceptional pizzas from surprise ingredients. Reflecting on his recent achievement, Giovanni expressed satisfaction with his performance, stating, "I'm happy with the pizza I produced in the championship. I couldn't have done better." Now, Giovanni's prizewinning creation will grace the launch menu at Gio Recchia Pizza Contemporania, where patrons can indulge in a gastronomic experience like no other. The restaurant offers a diverse array of pizzas, including the signature pizza on the paddle, a rectangular pizza with a satisfying crunch, and contemporary Neapolitan pizza. In addition, Giovanni takes pride in offering gluten-free options, ensuring that everyone can savor the delights of authentic Italian pizza. A firm advocate of using locally sourced ingredients, Giovanni emphasizes the importance of quality and freshness in his culinary creations. He meticulously selects meat and cheese from Pembrokeshire, even handcrafting his own sausage to ensure the highest standards of taste and authenticity. Employing techniques borrowed from traditional bread making, Giovanni's dough is not only gluten-free but also highly digestible, resulting in pizzas that are as delectable as they are nutritious. For Giovanni, crafting exceptional pizzas is not just a profession but a passion and a personal challenge. With each creation, he strives to push the boundaries of flavor and innovation, delighting customers and leaving a lasting impression. As he continues to test his culinary prowess, Giovanni's pizzeria remains a beacon of excellence in the world of gluten-free dining, inviting patrons to embark on a culinary journey like no other.

Little Caesars Tests New Gluten-Free Pizzas
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Additional Concerns
Celiac.com 03/06/2024 - Exciting news for our gluten-free community! Little Caesars is now testing a new Gluten-Free Pizza at select locations in the Denver, Colorado area. While this option is currently available for a limited time, it's a promising step towards inclusivity in the world of pizza. So, what can you expect from Little Caesars' Gluten-Free Pizza? Let's dive in. The Gluten-Free Pizza is offered in a convenient rectangular shape, perfectly portioned for one person. It's cut into four slices, resembling half the size of Little Caesars' signature Deep Dish Pizza. The crust of the Gluten-Free Pizza is thicker, with a delightful crispy edge that's caramelized and cheesy – a treat for your taste buds. For those who love classic flavors, you can choose between Pepperoni or Cheese toppings for your Gluten-Free Pizza, priced at $8.99. But if you're feeling adventurous, you also have the option to customize your pizza with your favorite toppings. Now, it's essential to address an important aspect of gluten-free dining – cross-contamination. While Little Caesars has introduced this Gluten-Free Pizza option, they acknowledge the risk of cross-contamination in a typical pizza environment. Flour particles can linger in the air, potentially contaminating gluten-free products. Due to this risk, Little Caesars does not recommend their Gluten-Free Pizza for customers with celiac disease. While it's disappointing that individuals with celiac disease may not be able to enjoy this new offering, it's still a positive step towards catering to diverse dietary needs. For those with gluten sensitivity or those simply looking to reduce their gluten intake, Little Caesars' Gluten-Free Pizza could be a delicious option. As the demand for gluten-free options continues to grow, we hope to see more efforts from restaurants and food chains to provide safe and enjoyable dining experiences for everyone. In the meantime, let's celebrate this small victory and savor every bite of our Gluten-Free Pizza from Little Caesars. Read more at brandeating.com -
Celiac.com 11/03/2023 - The removal of a dad from a gluten-free pizza party after bringing cereal snacks for his toddler has sparked a debate about proper etiquette for a gluten-free birthday party. Feeding cereal to his toddler at a child's gluten-free pizza party led to a dad's removal from the event, and ignited a debate about proper party etiquette and dietary restrictions. This incident occurred during the birthday party of the man's godson, Tim, who has a severe food allergy that can result in hospitalization. The party invitation prominently stated "GLUTEN FREE PARTY," emphasizing the importance of a gluten-free environment. The dad, unaware of the gluten-free focus, had packed his two-year-old's favorite cereal snacks, which contained gluten. He had been excited to try the gluten-free pizza at the party, as it was something he rarely experienced. When they arrived at the event, they sat outside while the gluten-free pizza was being prepared. However, his toddler grew hungry and became fussy while waiting for food. Being an experienced parent, the dad had learned to carry snacks for his child. To appease his hungry toddler, he offered him a bag of Fruit Loops from his bag, not realizing that they contained gluten. As his toddler snacked on the cereal, Tim's parents noticed and began giving him disapproving looks. As time passed, Tim also started crying. It turned out that he had a meltdown whenever he saw food he couldn't eat, even though the Fruit Loops contained gluten. The distressed Tim ran to his parents and complained about the dad "bragging" that he could eat gluten-containing foods. In response, the parents became agitated and accused the dad of ruining Tim's birthday and being insensitive by flaunting his ability to consume gluten. They argued that he was showing off his lifestyle in front of Tim, who could never have gluten. Tim's parents even questioned their decision to make the dad Tim's godfather, a role he took over from a close friend who had originally been chosen but had passed away from cancer. They contended that they had very little connection with the dad and that his presence was primarily limited to Tim's birthday and some holidays. Due to this incident, Tim's parents requested the dad to leave the party, which he eventually did. He found the situation perplexing, particularly how a child's tantrum had led to such a significant conflict. As days passed, there was no contact between the dad and Tim's family, leaving him uncertain about whether he had acted inappropriately. One Reddit user offered insight into why Tim's parents reacted so strongly. They explained that as someone with celiac disease, even minimal cross-contamination from gluten could make them severely ill. The pain and inflammation from accidental gluten ingestion could be excruciating, requiring hospitalization. Therefore, Tim's parents' concern over gluten exposure was not unfounded. This story underscores the importance of being considerate of dietary restrictions and health conditions when attending social events. While the dad may not have been fully aware of the seriousness of Tim's condition, the incident serves as a reminder to be mindful and respectful of such constraints to ensure a positive and inclusive experience for everyone. What are your thoughts? Were the hosts right to ask dad to leave? Share your thoughts or stories below. Read more in themirror.co.uk

DiGiorno Debuts Gluten-Free Frozen Pizza
Scott Adams posted an article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
06/20/2024 - Update: DiGiorno Gluten Free Pizza was reformulated, and is now 100% gluten AND wheat-free. Gluten-free wheat starch is no longer used in the product, and I can say that the new forumula tastes outstanding! This excellent gluten-free pizza is widely available, and I get it at Target. Original Article: Celiac.com 04/19/2021 (Updated 05/08/2021) - Warning: DiGiorno "Gluten-Free" Pizza contains wheat starch that, according to the box: "...has been processed to allow this food to meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for gluten-free foods." Celiac.com is now looking into the possibility that the labeling regulations in the USA may have changed, as products that contain wheat, even if it has been rendered gluten-free to below 20ppm, have not been allowed to use "gluten-free" on their labels. We will post a follow up article shortly. Here are the ingredients: INGREDIENTS: Water, Wheat Starch*, low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (cultured part-skim milk, salt, enzymes), tomato paste, Parmesan, Asiago and Romano cheese blend (cultured part-skim cow's milk, salt, enzymes), 2% or less of vegetable oil (soybean oil and/or corn oil), modified rice starch, sugar, salt, psyllium fiber, spices, dried garlic. CONTAINS: WHEAT*, MILK. *The wheat starch has been processed to allow this food to meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for gluten-free foods. ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Great news for gluten-free pizza lovers, especially for any DiGiorno fans who miss their favorite frozen pizza since going gluten-free. DiGiorno is shaking up the frozen pizza game with their new Gluten Free Pizza. Available in Pepperoni and Four Cheese flavors, and certified gluten-free, both pizzas feature DiGiorno‘s thick, hand-tossed crust and 100 percent real cheese. The pepperoni is made with a blend of pork, chicken and beef, while the four cheese blend features mozzarella, parmesan, asiago and romano cheeses. Gluten Free DiGiorno Pizzas are currently available at select Target stores nationwide at a suggested retail price of $9.99 each. DiGiorno does plan to offer their gluten-free pizzas at a numerous other national retailers later this year. Do you have a favorite pizza you dream would offer a gluten-free version?

Celiac.com 05/03/2023 - During my teenage years in rural Nebraska, I thought nothing of driving ten miles to the next town for pizza. It wasn’t because this particular pizza was better; rather, it was the only pizza we could find! And, of course, with my teenage naiveté, I took it for granted. Decades later, I no longer take pizza for granted. Like you, it was one of the fi rst things I craved when I went gluten-free. After all, pizza holds a hallowed place in American culture—we eat it on the run, it’s perfect at parties, and even upscale, white tablecloth restaurants have it on their menus. Decades later, I no longer take pizza for granted. Like you, it was one of the first things I craved when I went gluten-free. After all, pizza holds a hallowed place in American culture—we eat it on the run, it’s perfect at parties, and even upscale, white tablecloth restaurants have it on their menus. I’ve also included the recipe for an extremely tasty pizza sauce. I recommend the sauce because it’s easy to make (start simmering it before you start making the crust so it reduces down a bit). You can use any pizza sauce, but this one works particularly well because it’s a little thicker and won’t soak into the crust. And, because you make it yourself, you know exactly what’s in it so there’s no concern about other food allergens. While you’re at it, make a bunch of pizza crusts and freeze them for later use. And, don’t limit yourself to the standard flavors. Try scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and a little cheese for a breakfast pizza that can be eaten as you run out the door. Or, try smoked turkey, olives, and feta cheese for a lunchbox treat that’s good hot or cold. Carol Fenster’s Gluten-Free Pizza Reprinted with permission from by Carol Fenster, Ph.D. of Savory Palate Press. Crust Ingredients: 1 tablespoon dry yeast 2/3 cup warm milk(110°) 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar 2/3 cup sorghum flour or brown rice flour 1⁄2 cup tapioca flour 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 teaspoon guar gum 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon gelatin powder 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 teaspoon cider vinegar Sauce Ingredients: 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil 1⁄2 teaspoon dried rosemary 1⁄2 teaspoon fennel seeds 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove 2 teaspoon sugar 1⁄2 teaspoon salt Sauce Directions: Combine ingredients in small saucepan. Simmer 15 minutes. It makes about one cup, which is enough for a 12-inch pizza that serves six people. Crust Directions: Preheat oven to 425ºF. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk 5 minutes. In food processor, blend all ingredients until ball forms. Dough will be soft. Put mixture into greased 12-inch nonstick pizza pan. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan with your hands, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking. Make edges thicker to contain toppings. Bake pizza crust 10 minutes. Remove from oven (at this point, you can cool, than wrap tightly. Freeze for baking another time.). Spread pizza crust with sauce and toppings. Bake another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned. This recipe serves six people with one slice each.

Is DiGiorno Gluten Free Pizza Really Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams posted an article in Additional Concerns
06/20/2024 - Update: DiGiorno Gluten Free Pizza was reformulated, and is now 100% gluten AND wheat-free. Gluten-free wheat starch is no longer used in the product, and I can say that the new forumula tastes outstanding! This excellent gluten-free pizza is widely available, and I get it at Target. Original Article: 05/24/2021 - Shortly after DiGiorno released their gluten-free frozen pizza, the controversy began. Many people with celiac disease began to complain that the pizza caused celiac-like symptoms. Some pointed to wheat starch as a potential culprit. DiGiorno's frozen gluten-free pizza is made with "gluten-free" wheat starch. The FDA considers wheat starch to be “an ingredient processed to remove gluten.” DiGiorno Gluten-Free Pizzas contain the following ingredients: Water, Wheat Starch*, low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (cultured part-skim milk, salt, enzymes), tomato paste, Parmesan, Asiago and Romano cheese blend (cultured part-skim cow's milk, salt, enzymes), 2% or less of vegetable oil (soybean oil and/or corn oil), modified rice starch, sugar, salt, psyllium fiber, spices, dried garlic. CONTAINS: WHEAT*, MILK. *The wheat starch has been processed to allow this food to meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for gluten-free foods. Is DiGiorno's wheat starch gluten-free to FDA standards? Foods made with wheat starch may be labeled gluten-free as long as the final food contains below 20 parts per million gluten. Fermented foods and ingredients made with gluten-free wheat starch can be labeled gluten-free. So, wheat starch is not a problem by itself. Codex wheat starch, often referred to as “gluten-free wheat starch,” has had the gluten washed out to levels under 20 ppm, and has been considered safe for decades in Europe for people with celiac disease. The Codex quality wheat starch used by Schaer to make Schaer gluten-free croissants is gluten-free to below 5ppm, so high quality gluten-free wheat starch is commercially available. Also, wheat starch itself is not considered by FDA to be a fermented or hydrolyzed food. Although, products made with hydrolyzed wheat are subject to a different labeling rule for hydrolyzed foods. Basically, if the wheat starch used by DiGiorno contains hydrolyzed wheat, then it should not be labeled gluten-free. Nima Sensor Test Results Indicate DiGiorno May Not Always be Gluten-Free To get to the bottom of the problem, we went out and bought a few DiGiorno Gluten Free Four Cheese frozen pizzas at different times so that they came from different batches. We cooked the pizza according to directions, and tested two cooked pizzas using a Nima sensor, which has been shown to be accurate at detecting gluten in products down to 20ppm. For the test, we used only a fresh, spongy piece of crust from the center of a piece of curst, with no other ingredients on it. One of our tests registered positive for gluten, and the other test, which was on a different batch of pizza, tested negative. Possibility 1: Some or all of DiGiorno's gluten-free pizzas are not gluten-free. Perhaps DiGiorno is using wheat starch that does not meet Codex gluten-free standards, and some of their wheat starch contains gluten above 20 ppm. That means some of their wheat starch is not gluten-free below 20 ppm, and so the pizzas would reflect that. Possibility 2: Our Nima Sensor is wrong and gave a reading in error, and DiGiorno is gluten-free, but according to Nima the sensor is very accurate, and can detect gluten in such products without issues. Possibility 3: The wheat starch used by DiGiorno contains hydrolyzed wheat starch, and depending on the testing being done, it is creating misleading test results, for example, When testing starch for residual gluten, test-maker R-Biopharm recommends competitive R5 ELISA, which detects gluten that has been broken apart by processing procedures, such as hydrolysis, rather than sandwich R5 ELISA, which is used to quantify intact gluten protein. However, competitive R5 ELISA also has some limitations. It's doubtful that Nestle would use hydrolyzed wheat starch in this product because it could not legally be labelled gluten-free. Actions We reached out to DiGiorno to find out if they are using Codex wheat starch in their gluten-free pizza, and if they are regularly testing their ingredients and/or final product to ensure gluten-free status. We have yet to hear back from the company, but will update this article as information becomes available. At this time, we don't recommend DiGiorno's "gluten-free" frozen pizzas for people with celiac disease or serious gluten sensitivity.- 43 comments

Freschetta Gluten Free Signature Pepperoni Pizza
Celiac.com Sponsor: Review posted an article in Product Reviews
Celiac.com 07/15/2015 - The other day I was thinking about some of the things that I miss most since going gluten-free. Most of them involve the loss of the sense of freedom that I remember having while eating out or shopping. For many years after my diagnosis something as simple as being able to buy a frozen pizza at a supermarket was just not possible. My how things have changed over the last few years! Now it is not only possible to buy frozen pizzas again, but it is also possible to buy truly outstanding frozen gluten-free pizzas, like Freschetta's new Gluten Free Signature Pepperoni Pizza. Preparation of the Freschetta Gluten Free Signature Pepperoni Pizza is simple, just remove the packaging and bake it on a pan in a pre-heated oven at 450F for 12-16 minutes. I baked mine on the longer side, as I like the mozzarella cheese to be light brown and bubbling. The first thing I noticed about this pizza is that the crust is thin, which I like, and it gets brown easily, which is not always the case with gluten-free pizzas. The second thing I noticed was the wonderful smell coming from the oven—it smelled like I was at a pizzeria. After removing it from the oven and letting it cool for a couple of minutes, I cut it and noticed that my family could not wait to try it. The taste was amazing! This pizza offers a generous amount of mozzarella cheese and perfectly flavored sauce—and I love the light, crispy and chewy crust (yes, to me great pizza is all about the consistency of the crust!). My whole family really loved this pizza, and it should be noted that neither of my kids nor my wife need to be gluten-free, yet each of them thought that this pizza was great!

Trader Joe's Updates its Gluten-Free Pizza
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Celiac.com 09/06/2022 - After taking some hard knocks on quality from its customers, Trader Joe's is back in the frozen gluten-free pizza game with a reformulated version of its original private label gluten-free pizza. According to a July 16 Instagram post, Trader Joe's, the new pie features an updated crust recipe that blends cauliflower with chickpea and rice flours. Trader Joe's frozen gluten-free pizza is available with uncured in pepperoni, bell peppers, black olives, and red onions. Above all, good frozen pizza means good crust flavor and texture. After taking some quality knocks on their original version, the jury is still out on the new improved version. So far, reviews are few, but early quality reactions to the company's Instagram announcement seem positive. Comments include numerous one-liners, such as: "This pizza is really good. The topping combo is perfect!" and "This pizza is GOOOD!!! and perfect size for single consumption." As one of the many who tried Trader Joe's original gluten-free frozen pizza and was underwhelmed. I wanted it to be better, especially the crust. If Trader Joe's has worked out the crust the pizza should gain a much more appreciative audience. Having a good, reliable gluten-free frozen pizza on hand is part of a sensible snacking strategy for many people with celiac disease. Here's hoping Trader Joe's has created a winner with this one.

Savory Foods has really hit a home run with their frozen Gluten-Free Licious Gourmet Herb Pizza Crust. Many pre-made gluten-free pizza crusts tend to lack flavor, and more importantly, they lack the correct texture and "mouth feel." Savory Foods’ pizza crust offers everything you want in an outstanding pizza crust—great texture with just the right chewiness, a perfect blend of spices and seasonings, and most importantly, you can cook it just the way you want—if you like it crispy, just cook it a little longer, if you like it more chewy, just cook it for less time. In my case I followed directions and let it thaw for 30 minutes, then cooked it at 425F for three minutes, then removed it from the oven and added my favorite tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni, and finished it off in the oven for another 8 minutes—yes, I like my pizza on the chewy side! I love being able to add my favorite toppings to my pizzas, but don't like having to prepare a mix, so this crust offers me the perfect solution for my gluten-free pizza cravings! For more information visit their site.

Celiac.com 05/26/2022 - Don't you hate it when you buy a frozen pizza and discover that it looks nothing like the picture on the box? You will not have this issue with Oggi Foods Supreme Gluten-Free Pizzas. I made three of them the other night for my gluten-eating friends, and each one of them came out looking just like the lovely picture on their box. Another thing that blew my mind about these pizzas was how perfectly they've been able to capture the taste of a pizza that has been baked in a traditional, charcoal-fired stone pizza oven. The pizzas taste exactly as if they were “fired” in the traditional way in an Italian pizza oven, and the cauliflower crust is just incredible—my friends and I were unable to tell that there wasn't any wheat in it. In fact, I found myself scrambling to find the box I'd thrown away just to verify that a mistake hadn't been made, and the pizza I was eating was indeed gluten-free—it was! The next thing that blew my mind was just how much the Beyond Meat sausage tasted like real Italian sausage—I honestly could not tell the difference—even when taking individual pieces off of my slice and eating them alone. Both the texture and flavor of the Beyond Meat sausage are outstanding, so much so that there may not be a good reason left to continue eating real sausage. Besides the Supreme, Oggi Foods makes the following varieties of pizzas: California, Texan, Americana, Siciliana, Quattro Formaggi, Veggitaly, Margherita, and the Caprese. Visit their site to find out where to buy them.

I was wondering if anyone else has had a reaction to Udi's gluten-free Pizza or other Udi's products. I tried their pizza twice, this one: http://www.glutenfreemall.com/catalog/udis-glutenfree-three-cheese-pizza-frozen-unit-p-2489.html And I've had a particular reaction I have to gluten- racing heart/heart beating too hard/general feelings of anxiety- right after eating it that lasts for about two hours. I don't see anything else on the ingredient list I've had a problem with so I am wondering if the <20 ppm testing simply doesn't cut it for me? I'm a relatively new diagnosed person, about 6 months. I do cook most of my food from scratch and haven't had much trouble. Have avoided eating out for the most part. And this is the only food I have had a reaction to lately. Kind of stinks because it tasted great! Just curious if anyone else noticed anything after eating this pizza. Oh, and I cooked it in my oven, which I use for cooking all my food so I don't think it's that. I use a cookie sheet and parchment paper just to be on the safe side.

Celiac.com 12/16/2020 - If you're like me, you care a great deal about the quality of ingredients that are used in everything you eat. Did you ever wonder about the quality of ingredients in some of the commercially prepared frozen pizzas that are on the market? Do you think they use the freshest, best quality mozzarella? How about fresh basil or homemade garlic-tomato sauce? I am very picky about ingredients, for example the type of pepperoni I like, so for me Little Northern Bakehouse's new Original and Thin Artisan Style Gluten-Free Pizza Crusts are the perfect solution. Although I may be picky about my pizza ingredients, I'm not necessarily into making gluten-free pizza dough from scratch every time I want a pizza—like most people I do appreciate convenience. Little Northern Bakehouse's prepared regular and thin pizza crusts are like a convenient “canvas” that allows me to become a “pizza artist,” and use whatever quality ingredients I feel like at the time to make a wonderful pizza in only minutes. I also love that they offer both regular style crust and thin crust, and I found both to be amazing! In addition to their pizza crusts being certified gluten-free, they are also vegan, non-GMO, allergen-friendly, and are made using only the finest ingredients available, like chick pea flour, ground and whole flax seed, rice flour, and tapioca starch. A single slice offers 4% of your daily recommended fiber, which can't be said for many other gluten-free pizza crusts. To give you a better idea of Little Northern Bakehouse's quality and product range, be sure to check out some of the other product reviews we've done: Gluten-Free Classic Dinner Rolls, 4 Varieties of Certified Gluten-Free Bagels, Sprouted Honey Oat & 7 Grain Gluten-Free Breads, and their Millet & Chia Hot Dog & Hamburger Buns.

I recently tried Amy's new Gluten Free Rice Crust Margherita Pizza. The picture on the box was enticing, and I was impressed with the list of natural and organic ingredients, so I just had to give it a try. Upon opening the box I noticed chunks of real mozzarella cheese sprinkled with basil. It was the perfect size for my toaster oven, but I have a pizza stone so I decided to prepare it in the oven. The aroma was very promising, and it even caught the attention of my kids. The pizza was done in about 12 minutes, and it looked just like the picture on the box. The mozzarella melted beautifully and I couldn't wait to dig in. The crust had a nice crunch to it and a chewy texture...combine that with the blend of the mozzarella and basil and a hint of garlic and it was delicious! My only complaint would be that I would have like to have a bit more sauce (I like saucy pizzas). I loved that it was made as a single-serve pizza, since most gluten-free pizzas never taste the same the next day. I wish I could have enjoyed the entire pizza myself, but my non-celiac kids ended up liking it as much as me! For more info visit their site: www.amys.com.

Celiac.com 11/04/2011 - I had to do a double take when I saw a that JD's Best made a gluten-free microwave or oven baked personal sized pizza! How in the world can they make a gluten-free microwavable pizza? I was a bit skeptical since it is hard enough to find a gluten-free pizza that I can pop in the oven and fully enjoy, let a lone one that I could microwave. I decided to give JD's Best Microwave/Ovenbake Personal Gluten-Free Pizza a try – one from the microwave and one from the oven. Included in their packaging was a silver disk that is used to crisp the crust for those who choose the microwave method. After 15 minutes the oven pizza was ready, compared to only 2.5 minutes for the microwave version. Both pizzas had ample sauce (which is usually one of my biggest complaints about packaged pizzas), and the cheese was bubbling, hot and flavorful. Both pizzas had a crispy crust on the bottom, and the only real difference I noticed was that the one from the oven was a bit more crispy on the top compared with the microwave version. What a great option for anyone on a gluten free diet!

Dad's Gluten-free Pizza Crust is sure to Please
Celiac.com Sponsor: Review posted an article in Product Reviews
Celiac.com 07/30/2007 - I love pizza, and being gluten-free put a pretty serious crimp in my ability to enjoy a fresh, custom-made pizza. Also, I've never been particularly fond of frozen pizzas of any kind, but I don't exactly have time to make my own crusts from scratch. Even when I could eat pizza from my favorite local pizzeria, I loved to make my own pizza from fresh pizza crust, and to add my own toppings and pull it piping hot and bubbling fresh from my own oven. Since I went on a gluten-free diet, I've pretty much given up on ever again really enjoying pizza piled high with my favorite things like pepperoni and mushrooms. But Dad's has come to my rescue and returned pizza to it's proper place of honor I my life. Dad's make a gluten-free pizza crust that fits the bill perfectly. Recently, I rushed home from a long day at work with pizza firmly on my mind. Now, Dad's gluten-free pizza crust come frozen and I deviated a bit fro the general instructions by putting it in my fridge to defrost before I left for work. When I got home, I spread the crust with my favorite pizza sauce, sprinkled on a generous helping of mozzarella, some pepperoni, mushrooms, threw on a few sweet red peppers, added a dash of oregano, and popped it in the oven. I find letting the crust defrost first makes for more even cooking, and a crisper, yet chewier crust. When I pulled it from the oven, I was far from disappointed, I was overjoyed. What a delight to have tasty, crunchy, chewy, delicious pizza crust back in my life! Dad's gluten-free pizza is crunchy and perfectly chewy with excellent flavor, and a great pizza aroma. Once you add some sauce and cheese and whatever toppings you like, you're ready to bake a great tasting, hot, bubbly pizza your family is sure to love. -
Celiac.com 08/08/2012 - In the UK, people with celiac disease get their gluten-free food subsidized by the government as part of their national health care. This includes items like gluten-free pizzas. This practice works in much the same way that insurance companies in America cover drug prescriptions for their members. Those members with a doctor's prescription pay a reduced cost or no cost at all on certain items. In the UK, everyone is insured by the National Health Service (NHS). There, people with celiac disease and certain other conditions get prescriptions that allow them to obtain gluten-free food at a reduced cost. In a recent story, BBC news claims that, as part of this service, the NHS is spending £17 (about $26) on each gluten-free pizza it supplies. That amount would equal four times the original base price of the pizza, since they originally cost less than £4.50 (about $6) each. According to the BBC, once manufacturing, handling and delivery fees were added, the bill for the NHS had risen to £34 (over fifty bucks) for two pizzas. Without acknowledging the actual cost per pizza, Stuart Lakin, head of medicines management at NHS Rotherham, said that the NHS was making efforts to minimize wholesaler delivery charges on the pizzas by switching patients from brands that attract additional charges. He added that costs for all gluten-free products was down from £274,611 in 2009/10 to just £177,153 in 2011/12. Moreover, he noted, only patients with clinically diagnosed celiac disease are eligible for prescriptions for gluten-free products. Health Secretary Andrew Lansley pointed out that prescriptions encouraged celiac sufferers to more strictly follow gluten-free diets, but admitted that the practice is ‘under ongoing review.' What do you think? Should gluten-free food be treated like medicine for people with celiac disease, and be covered under insurance plans like prescription drugs? Is $26 dollars too much to pay for a gluten-free pizza? Source: BBC News

Flourless and Paleo Fat Head Pizza
Ennis-TX posted a blog entry in Gluten Free and Specialty Diet Recipes
So I took the original idea of the fat head pizza (will include original recipe at bottom), I replaced the cheese with Miyoko's Vegan versions to make it dairy free, then used what I learned earlier and replaced the flour with Pork Panko from BaconsHeir to make this. Heck you can go carnivore with it and just sub the pork panko as I use the same grams of cheese vs Vegan Cheese. OH if you want double the recipe and use the extra dough to make it a deep dish then have some extras for other fun projects or to use it in a bigger pan. This makes one medium 8" crust 170g Mozzarella (I used Miyoko's Vegan Mozz) 28g (2tbsp) Cream Cheese (I used Miyoko Vegan Cream Cheese) 42g (3/4 cup) BaconsHeir Pork Panko 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder Pinch of salt 20 oooflavors Pizza Drops (Optional) 1 Large Egg Whisked Choice of sauce and toppings 1. Preheat Oven to 425F, Grease a Pizza Pan or a 8" pie pan 2. In a bowl mix pork panko, garlic, and salt set aside 3. In a measuring cup put your mozz and cream cheese, microwave 1 min, stir then microwave 30 sec and mix well. 4. Mix your Melted cheese into your panko mix, add in your flavor drops and whisked egg and form into a dough (NOTE if your going to roll it out and put on a pizza pan fridge for 10mins to set up before rolling out between 2 sheets of parchment paper) 5. Press dough into Pie Pan in the shape of your crust with a slight ridge around the outside, now use a fork to poke holes through the dough to help in even cooking. 6. Bake 20-25mins til browned then remove, add toppings and bake or broil another 5-10mins to melt toppings. 7. Let cool a bit before removing or serving For my toppings in the picture I put my own sauce, bits of Miyoko Mozz, Kite Hill Ricotta, Turkey Bacon Crumbles, and Parma Vegan Parmesan. Pork Panko https://baconsheir.com/collections https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/8402394011?_encoding=UTF8&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Bacon's Heir&ref_=bl_dp_s_web_8402394011 ORIGINAL RECIPE 170g Mozzarella 28g (2tbsp) Cream Cheese 85g (3/4 Cup) Almond Flour (or 28g (4tbsp) Coconut Flour) Pinch of Salt 1/2 tsp rosemary/garlic Choice of toppings 1. Preheat Oven to 425F with a baking sheet or pizza stone in it 2. In a Large bowl mix the flours, salt, and seasonings. 3. Put the mozzarella and cream cheese in a measuring cup and microwave for 1min, stir then stir and microwave another 30 sec 4. Mix the melted cheese mixture into the flour mixture til well combined, add in the egg and combine well 5. Place your dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll into a circular pizza shape. Remove the top parchment paper (if it becomes difficult to work with pop back in the microwave for 10-20 sec to soften but not too long or you will cook the egg) 6. Make holes using a fork to ensure it will cook evenly and place slice the parchment paper with pizza base onto the baking tray/pizza stone in the oven and bake 12-15mins til brown 7. For a crispy crust, flip over once the top has browned 8. Once cooked, remove from oven and add the other toppings you like, Make sure any meat is already cooked, put back in oven for 5mins til heat up and melt cheese.-
