The Pie

So we finally went to The Pie today. The Pie is a local pizza chain in the Salt Lake City area. Three of their restaurants have separate gluten free kitchens with specific practices in place to nearly eliminate the possibility of cross contamination. We went to the South Jordan location.

 

I did something I've never done before. After reading everything I had about them on their website, I simply went to the counter and ordered my pizza. I didn't quiz them or grill them, she wasn't going to tell me anything I didn't already read online about their practices. Besides, if everything was truly true, this place would be truly safe and there would be no need to turn ordering a pizza into the Spanish Inquisition. So we each ordered a pizza, I ordered a gluten free veggie pizza ($18.99 for a 14" which seems fair) and my husband ordered a regular pepperoni pizza.

 

They didn't get done at the same time. They called our name to let us know a pizza was ready, the first one was his. It was ooey gooey with cheese covering the pepperoni. He said it was a good pizza and enjoyed it. So check, our gluten eaters will enjoy their pizza there.

 

Then they called again and my pizza was ready. The gluten free pizza is a thin crust, which I expected before I even made plans to go there. It only comes in a 14" which is fine, I didn't expect a size choice. (I suppose we never can.) At least it isn't a personal size for the first time ever in a year and a half of ordering pizzas. It had fresh Spinach, artichoke hearts, sicilian spiced tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese, and mozzarella cheese and it was piled on. I could barely figure out how to pick up a slice, instead of the barely there topping I've gotten used to. The crust was crispy and delicious with no weird texture or taste. The toppings were perfect and ridiculously plentiful, in fact when I saw them it made the $20 sticker shock go away. It was so amazingly delicious I nearly wept with joy.

 

Enough time has passed that if I was going to get sick, I would have by now. Which means that without nonsense, grilling or the Spanish Inquisition, I walked into a pizza place, ordered a pizza, and got one safely made. That's it. Just like it used to be. Not every topping is available, but enough are that I was more than satisfied with my choices. I can not recommend this place enough for people visiting the Salt Lake area. There are locations in Salt Lake, South Jordan and Ogden that have gluten free kitchens.

There are reasons I'll never leave this area. I know there are other gluten free havens. I just have no intentions of ever starting over learning. Hopefully if anyone ever visits here this will help point them to some safe and amazingly delicious pizza. There is a huge gluten-free expo in October so maybe this is just in time to help someone.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
