Pizzacato Gourmet Pizza offers mouth-watering thin-crust pizzas in Washington, Oregon, and California. The restaurants in Portland, and Vancouver, offer pizza with a gluten free crust. I heartily recommend it!

Pizzacato’s offers a gluten free crust, not a gluten free pizza! Normally, that discourages me, since a gluten free pizza needs more than a “safe” crust — the toppings must be celiac-friendly and everything must be baked appropriately.

I make an exception in this case because of the way their disclaimer is written. Virtually every restaurant has a disclaimer, but normally they are written by lawyers, not dietitians or food lovers. This one seems to have been written by a well-informed person who understands the needs of America’ celiac community and truly cares about the food being served: “Please note that, although we offer a gluten free crust, our establishments are not gluten free. We will do our best to keep your pizza gluten free but there will always be the possibility that it can become cross-contaminated if, from nothing else, the wheat flour dust that is in the air of the restaurant.”
