Pizza Fusion In Pittsburgh Pa

Hi,

My husband's birthday is this Saturday (Valentines Day) and we were thinking of going to Pizza Fushion in Pittsburgh PA. Their menu online tells of gluten free pizza, brownies and beer. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it and if so how was it ? We live about an hour and twenty minutes from Pittsburgh and just wanted to know if it was worth the drive.

Thanks

Sue

Hi Sue,

I will be very honest with you about this. We have a Pizza Fusion in So Cal and I ate there. I was disapointed, the pizza is ok but is not worth the money at all. I still think you should go just so you know for yourself, have to try it at least once. You do have a long drive to get there so this will give you something to think about.

The pizza is small, it has a very thin crust. I had pepperoni with soy cheese and cost me 34 dollars after a small tip.

Call some of your local eateries, I am going to a casino near me who has cooked everything gluten-free before. They are even making a flourless chocolate cake for my bf and I. There are places that will cater to you.

We like Uno's in Cranberry Twp much better. Pizza Fusion is in Gibsonia so actually you would be closer to Uno's.( coming up 79) And the price is so reasonable at Uno's - under $12.00. I know a family of four 2 adults.& 2 kids went to pizza fusion -the adults had a beer a piece plus a gluten-free pizza. the bill was $75.00

I can give you directions if you need them......

Hi Mamaw,

Thank you for letting me know about Uno's I would love directions. Is it anywhere near the mall at Robinson ? We go there a couple times a month. Is their pizza gluten free ?

Thank,

Sue

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for letting me know how it is at Pizza Fusion. We wanted to try it because we saw there is one in Orlando Fl and have reservations for Disney World in June. We are trying to find places that we can eat at while on vacation there. We live in a very small town in Ohio and the only place to go out to eat is either Outback or Red Lobster (if my husband orders crab legs or lobster from Red Lobster).

A lot of the resturants and caters here in the town we live in aren't aware of what celiac sprue is and what gluten free is. I wish we had more options like California. I am from California myself, I was born and rasied there. I have only lived here in Ohio for 12 years.

Thanks again

Sue

Last time I checked, Pizza Fusion uses crusts from Still Riding Pizza.

I thought Pizza Fusion was okay, but not fabulous. But back in my gluteny days, I thought that Domino's Pizza was also okay, but not fabulous. So maybe I'm not a good one to ask!

It IS nice to be able to go out for pizza (they also deliver, though not an hour and a half away!) and not have to make the crust myself. But I'm getting a lot better and faster at making crusts, so we haven't been back to Pizza Fusion (it was really expensive). I'd like to try the Uno's in Cranberry, though!

Hi Sue

I just found this message where you needed directions! I'm sorry I forgot to flag this message & then I missed your question....

If you get on 79 & follow to Cranberry exit , this will put you on Rt19, go to the intersection of 19&Rt 228, turn left, go down two or three lights & Uno's is on the left beside Quaker Steak & Lube.

It is probably about 20 minutes from Robinson. I'm terrible about distances. It would be closer than pizza fusion.from Rt79.

WE are in Robinson every two weeks & it takes us about an hour to get there from our house & we are 20-25 minutes from Cranberry Twp.

Sorry on the late reply..

I'm so glad you posted this -- we are at the Wexford office of Children's so often, and we get off in Cranberry and go right through Rt. 19, and I never thought to consider any of those restaurants. I'll keep Uno's in mind for our next trip!

Hi, I know its past Valentines by about a week. Sorry I missed your message. Happy belated B-day to your DH.

We loved Pizza Fusion. My DS13 said it was the best Pizza he ever had in his life.

I'm glad to know that the Uno's is gluten-free. Thanks Mamaw. I had written Uno's corporate and was sent a list of states that had gluten-free menus and only places like Vermont were on it. Glad to know there is another one close. :)

Thought you all might like to know that on Tuesdays they have a gluten free special pizza and ANY gluten-free drinks (including beer/wine) for a cheap price--I can't remember exactly what that cost was, but it makes me want to try to get there on Tuesdays. :rolleyes:

      Schar's products contain wheat!

      I have enjoyed Schar's gluten free products for years. However, some items Do contain Wheat and are not clearly labeled on the front. Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free...

      Thiamine Mononitrate is "shelf stable" and won't break down easily when exposed to heat, light and over time. This makes it very hard for the body to absorb and utilize it. Only thirty percent is absorbed, less is utilized because it takes additional thiamine to break it down. Thiamine Hydrochloride is great. Benfotiamine is wonderful, too. Retaining...

      @Known1, Search for "niacin flush fades the longer you use it" and "Niacin flush worse if deficient". It takes a couple to three weeks for the body to adjust and you're at that point now, so things should improve. Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light. If not absorbed, excreted. Absorption of riboflavin will improve...

Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free wheat', but not me. I strongly feel that the labeling for these wheat containing products should be clearly labeled on the front, with prehaps a different color and not using the 'no gluten symbol on the front. The products are not inexpensive, and also dangerous for my health!

      Thiamine Mononitrate is "shelf stable" and won't break down easily when exposed to heat, light and over time.  This makes it very hard for the body to absorb and utilize it.  Only thirty percent is absorbed, less is utilized because it takes additional thiamine to break it down.   Thiamine Hydrochloride is great.  Benfotiamine is wonderful, too.   Retaining water, edema, is a symptom of low thiamine.  I'd bloat up like a puffer fish.   The ingrown toenail problems I had that I attribute to Niacin deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency.  My toenails curled in and grew thick and yellow, thickened heels.  It was awful.   So glad you're going to give thiamine hydrochloride a try!   Let me know how it goes.  You may feel worse before you feel better, the thiamine paradox, but it does clear up.  It's like a car back firing if it hasn't been run for a while.   Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light.  If not absorbed, excreted.  Absorption of riboflavin will improve as the body starts healing the intestinal lining and villi grow back.   You could skip the multivitamin instead.

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units. In terms of how they compare in the past, the numbers today that I quoted are stricter than they used to be. Blood sugar numbers for +1 and +2 hour postprandial are measured from the beginning of a meal in these official numbers. In regards to the thiamin supplement I have: it says it is thiamine mononitrate. I had not until now been aware there were different types (it seems I find that is the case with everything, including the magnesium I take!) and this one I have is the only one available in my local stores. I know it makes my pee smell strong when I take it which would seem to indicate my body is absorbing enough that the remainder gets ejected, but I could be wrong. Of course, I'm willing to try anything reasonable to correct this long standing condition, whatever it might be so I will try and get thiamin hydrochloride. Back on the note of diabetes (potentially) I haven't had the blood test for a while and I did notice ingrown toenail type infections a few times in the last 3 years that kept coming back. I heard that diabetes caused high urination. But eating sugar and elevated blood sugar causes the opposite in me. If I eat a lot of sugar I retain water, like big time. If I ate a bunch o sugar in the afternoon say, I can produce little enough urine that I can go over 12 hours and have nowhere near enough urine to need to void in that time or longer which seems abnormal.
