Hooray For Waldo Pizza!

I first learned about Waldo Pizza (Kansas City) from this forum, not too long after my son was diagnosed with Celiac.

I was thrilled to find out they had a location in Lee's Summit, same town where my in-laws live.

We made it a point to eat there on the next trip to visit grandma. At that time, they did not have the gluten-free pizza on the menu - you had to ask for it and the server didn't seem to know what we were talking about, but he checked, and we got it and all was good. My son loved it, and loved being able to eat pizza at a restaurant.

Several trips later, gluten-free pizza was finally listed on the menu, along with Redbridge beer (but my son is not of age so that was no big deal to us).

Next time I noticed they had a gluten-free brownie on the menu.

The next couple of trips I did not go to KC, but the rest of the family did and of course ate there.

I was just there in May, and now the menu includes gluten-free cupcakes, brownies, and cookies.

Today I was checking their on-line menu, and in addition to all the above, they now have a gluten-free menu section that includes breadsticks, cheese crust, garlic bread, and all kinds of sandwiches on gluten free bun or roll, salad options, and lemonade cake.

Awesome!

Lemonade cake has a nice flavor, but was a little dry. The choc chip cookies are wonderful. they heat them up and my gluten eating cookie freaks love them.

There is now a great gluten-free bakery in Lees Summit, not far from Waldo Pizza. I think Waldo gets their buns & desserts there. The bakery is Kneaded Specialties. www.kneadedspecialties.com
