Gluten free pizza is now available in restaurants nationwide. There are at least four restaurant chains that serve celiac-friendly pizza and two firms that provide gluten free crusts that enable local restaurants to serve gluten free pizzas.
I recently updated my article on gluten free restaurant pizza. Here is the article in its entirety:
Garlic Jim’s, whose pizzas have been certified “safe” by The Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG). The locations page gives you the option of limiting your search to places that serve gluten free pizza. Click here to read the gluten free menu.
Uno Chicago Grill offers three types of gluten free pizza at each of its locations nation-wide.Click here for nutrition information and then click on the button in the middle of the second column.
Pizza Fusion provides gluten free pizza at all its outlets. Click on the restaurant name for locations and/or click here for information about their gluten free offerings.
Z Pizza. Click to find a location and then click on that location and hope to find “Gluten Free Crust Available” in the box at the upper-right corner of the page. Keep in mind that the term “gluten free crust” may or may not mean that the entire pizza is gluten free and has not exposed to cross contamination. Defensive dining is definitely required when you are eating here.
Still Riding Pizza. This is not actually a restaurant chain but a company that sells gluten free pizza crusts to restaurants. They also provide guidance to those restaurants but can’t guarantee anything other than a gluten free crust. Click on the name to read their list of 100+ restaurants that they supply.
Gluten Free Bistro. This company provides gluten free pizza crusts to restaurants in Colorado. Here again, be aware that a pizza is not gluten free simply because it has a gluten free crust.
Boston’s also has a gluten free pizza.

Great gluten-free pizza is available at Grande Ranch in Wooster, Ohio. It is not a chain, but has really good GF pizza.
I was diagnosed celiac 3 months ago. I have yet to find a restaurant where gluten-free was understood. Even after talking to the staff, managers, chefs, I have still suffered a reaction every time. Cross contamination and undereducation are a challenge. I would like to hear from others who have had good experiences at pizza or other restaurants. Nick’s, a pizza place in Crystal Lake, IL, advertises gf pizza crust, but I had a reaction after eating there.
Buddy’s Pizza, a pizza place in Michigan, offers gluten free pizza at all of its restaurants.
