Great gluten-free Pizza Place In Arizona

This chain is mostly in Phoenix, AZ and surrounding areas, one in Tucson, as well, I believe.

Picazzo's is a really great gluten-free pizza place. They have a dedicated gluten-free area, dedicated equipment, and dedicated toppings for their gluten-free foods. They have gluten-free versions of almost all their menu offerings, including appetizers. And all of their ingredients, except for the wheat pasta, are gluten-free for the whole menu - their sausage, pepperoni, cheeses, etc...

I also liked that they try to use local vendors for their food, and they use organic products as much as possible (although the price reflects that, sigh).

When I was talking to them about what ingredients they used in their gluten-free flour mixture (we have other allergies, so we gotta check), the first person I got on the phone knew all the vendors right off the bat and was happy to give me their names - and phone number if she had them - so I could call them up and see if they contained any of my allergens. Asking about the mints up at the front, they also could tell you right away whether they were gluten-free or not, in more than one of the restaurants.

All in all, they were very friendly and seemed very allergen aware and careful with the food. :D

Hi. Thanks for posting this. I will be traveling to Arizona - Phoenix and Tucson - in a few weeks. I would love to go.

How did the pizza taste?

Do you know any other gluten free restaurants in the area?

They also have one in Flagstaff. I have eaten there as well as the one in Tempe. Most of the menu is gluten free and it is AWESOME!

Ok, it's been a while since I have posted, but here goes.

Restaurants in the Phoenix area that I frequent. I think most have gluten-free menus:

Tonto Bar and Grill - in Carefree. Really good and pretty view of golf course. Love this place. Pricey.

Pizza Picazzo's - I usually go to the one on Frank Lloyd Wright in Scottsdale. Also have great salads and gluten-free pasta dishes

Indulge Burger - On Scottsdale Road and Shea (SWC) Has gluten-free buns. Unfortunately, on 2 times since I have been there they were out of the buns and substituted a gluten-free english muffin. Too small for the burger. I get the turkey burger. I think the burgers are around $10 give or take. They have gluten-free fries that are baked.

Havana Cafe - Have been to the one on Bell Road. I've always had a good meal. The gluten-free menu warns you of the cc if you get something fried. Hubby, not gluten-free, did have a bad meal once. It was the Paella (sp?). I've always had a good meal there. Ambiance is so so.

Fogo de Chao - Yum. Just the best experience. Ask for the manager. He will go over everything that is gluten-free and most everything is. It's a Brazilian meat place. Close to $50/meal including huge salad bar. They have great little Brazilian cheese rolls, polenta and fried bananas - all come with the meal.

White Chocolate Grill - Located in North Scottsdale @ Mayo Blvd near the 101. Has good gluten-free menu. I would say it is similar to a Houston's.

PF Changs - I go to the one on Scottsdale Road in Kierland Commons

Outback - I don't go there much, but there are a few

Flemings Steak - Has a gluten-free menu

True Foods - I have been to 2 locations. I think the one on Camelback is the best. They have a gluten-free menu and healthy options.

Nourish - Have gluten-free menu. I have not been there yet.

Fry's at Tatum and Shea. They have a nice gluten-free section. If you like sweets, look in the freezer section near the gluten-free section and try Julia's cupcakes. Local baker and the best I have tried.

That's all I can think of for now.

I used to go to Cantina Laredo, but learned recently that their chips are not made in a dedicated fryer and the corn tortillas are pressed or in come contact with the flour tortillas. There is not warning on the menu. Not worth the risk to me, but for someone else may be fine.

Thank you so much!!! I'll be sending the list to my sister who is living in Arizona. She is not gluten-free and it will be great to know our options.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
