Gluten free Pizza is readily available to those who know where to look and what questions to ask. Hopefully, this article will enable you to enjoy gluten free pizza at home. Yesterday I wrote about gluten free pizza meals in restaurants.

An important reminder before I begin: a gluten free pizza crust does not guarantee a gluten free pizza. The sauces and toppings must be appropriate and cross-contamination issues must be addressed.

You have five options for enjoying gluten free pizza at home:

Make the pizza “from scratch”. I can personally vouch for this recipe from the blog “Gluten Free Mommy“.

Use a mix to prepare the pizza crust and add gluten free toppings. My favorite mix is manufactured by Bob’s Red Mill and available in many retail stores. This link will take you to a collection of pizza recipes from Bob’s Red Mill.

Buy a pre-made pizza crust and add gluten free toppings. Whole Foods stocks gluten free pizza crusts in its “gluten free bakehouse” freezer. Click here to read a review of these products. They are also available on-line from The Gluten Free Pantry which also sells pizza crust baking mixes

Buy a frozen gluten free pizza. I’ve found Glutino frozen pizzas at Whole Foods. I appreciate their good taste and relatively inexpensive price. Amy’s also makes frozen pizza that are for sale at Whole Foods, but keep in mind that only a few of Amy’s products are gluten free and they are not made in a gluten free facility.

Order take-out pizza from a celiac friendly restaurant. This relates back to yesterday’s article which dealt with finding gluten free pizza in restaurants.
