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:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
