Anyone found a GOOD gluten-free pizza ?

So pizza was a huge staple in my life (healthy I know) and I’ve tried about 4 different gluten-free pizzas (UDI’S being one of them) and I honestly HATE IT. It’s like a thin crust pizza that’s over cooked on the bottom and gummy and chewy/undercooked on the top. But that’s just how it tastes ! It seems to me all gluten-free pizza is like this and I should just give up on the pizza quest ?. And please no suggesting cauliflower pizza ?

You can try making your own pizza. I have found out that to make a NY style pizza you need to start with

Grande 50/50 mozzarella cheese or whole milk mozzarella cheese

Escalon 6 in 1 ground tomatoes (do not cook before putting on pizza)

Pizza crust:

  Udis for thin and crispy

  Dr Schar for thick and chewy

  Etalia (Colorado) for  a NY style crust

 

You add a smidge of sugar to the sauce if it tastes bitter and then salt to taste then build the pizza. Even mistakes seem to taste good. :D

Grande and Escalon can be found in an Italian store. Pizza aficionados like those ingredients so it's just a matter of making some calls locally.

Against The Grain Pizza. Use a pizza pan -- not a cheap one but a good one that has holes in the bottom.

Real good foods makes a great one but it has dairy....My dad who is not a cealic eats it around me and says it taste great. You can find them in walmarts now or order by the case.....I have to go the califlour route with Califlour foods...like a hybrid flatbread new york style one...make it extra cripsy with a long prebake myself and use non dairy cheese on it but I have issues with gluten, dairy, peanuts, soy, and can not have carbs....other AI diseases from not taking care of my celiac early enough.....Cappllos makes a good one also just super expensive...BTW a pizza pan and or Pizza stone is a must. The stone keeps them soft chewy while a pan will make them crisper dryer.
Honestly just get a Real Good Foods one from walmart or order by the case. Found some companies that make hotpockets gluten free also lol if you want a list.

Cheerymarie,

I don't  eat pizza's in general much today because the carbs tend to raise my sugar too much but when I was eating pizza's more.  I swear by Matteo's Pizza.

they actually have a "negative gravity room" dedicated to a gluten free prep area.

They use Tom Sawyer flour as I remember and my gluten friends often didn't know it was gluten free unless I told them.

And here is the nice part.

They will ship nationwide.  I used to put an order in once a month and buy a dozen at a time for my freezer.

I hope this is helpful.

I found the Schar brand pizza crust.  It’s not bad at all.  A lot of other crusts I’ve tried are dry and crunch like I’m eating a cracker.  This has a bread feel and it’s egg free.  My kids love it.  I think it’s about $7 for 2 decent sized crusts.

Against the Grain is excellent, but very expensive.  We have found Freschetta to be consistently the best frozen gluten-free pizza out there. It's really surprisingly very good.   Open Original Shared Link

I agree with Andy, we've found that Freschetta is the best. California Pizza Kitchen margarita pizza isn't bad... but the Freschetta pepperoni one tastes the most like regular pizza. The crust is SUPER thin and you have to really check it to make sure it doesn't burn, but like I said - we think it's the best so far.

If you use the Ibotta Rebate app, they have almost the full $5.50 back on the Real Good Pizza for walmart right now, they also have several coupons for Canyon house bakery and Udis Loafs in several stores right now for a few bucks back. Smithfield meats (most are gluten free labled) and some others. >.> I have referral codes if anyone wants one in PM lol SO hard to get by on this diet money wise so figured I would share the savings.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Levi · Posted

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.
