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:

      Did they ever tell you specifically which vitamins would interfere with which tests? Fermented pickles source of thiamine  and other B-vitamins, The fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria increases the nutrient value.   Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus?  Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis.  dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service.  I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease.  Whatever keeps me alive in this world.

      You are correct.  Same place.  I have used their site for so long and have it bookmarked.  Still living in past.  Our support group was affiliated with them.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®?  Their website is not gig.net.  Maybe it was at one point?  I am new to all of this, but did find their website here:  https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten.  Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8.  Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification.  Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/
    • Scott Adams
      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the vast majority of people with celiac. Celiac disease specifically involves an immune reaction to gluten peptides found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn is classified as gluten-free because its proteins do not activate that same immune pathway in most individuals. Although corn intolerance is very real, the explanation about the proteins being the same is oversimplified to the point where it's not accurate.
