Living with a gluten allergy or intolerance means you have to say “no” to certain foods, but it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on fresh, delicious pizza. There are restaurants all over Edmonton that offer gluten-free pizzas that are every bit as delectable as their gluten-filled counterparts.
This popular Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurant has a classic, welcoming atmosphere. Their pizzas are fully customizable, so you’re not limited to whatever gluten-free choices they offer. Start with a 10” classic cheese pizza, gluten-free, and build your toppings at a $1.50 each. You can choose from a list of 28 toppings, including artichoke hearts, banana peppers, feta cheese and donair meat.
You won’t have to scour the menu to find something that might work for you here. The gluten-free options are clearly marked with a little “GF” stamp next to them. Try the Chicken Pesto Pizza, Hawaiian Delight or Chunky Vegetable Greek for a satisfying, gluten-free pizza experience. They’ve also got other great gluten-free items, such as salads, plus chicken and seafood dishes.
It can be difficult to find gluten-free alternatives that taste as good as the real thing. Instead of settling for a bland and tasteless version of gluten-heavy pizza, head to Urbano Pizza Co., where you can enjoy a delicious crust that has lots of flavour, but no gluten. The artfully crafted pizzas here include Garden Fire, Piri Squared and Bubby’s Fave. This micro-pizzeria makes your pizza in just two minutes, for both dine-in and take-out.
At Panago, you can build the gluten-free pizza of your dreams. Customize your pizza from scratch, starting with the gluten-smart crust, which is recommended for those with gluten-intolerance rather than Celiac disease because of potential cross-contamination. Once you select your sauce and cheese, you’ve got a lot of toppings to choose from: capicola, baby spinach, jalapeños, shrimp, oysters and Kalamata olives, to name a few.
Boston Pizza has a lot of great meal options for people with gluten sensitivities, including excellent pizzas. They’ve got GlutenWise crust and a culinary staff that does everything possible to minimize cross-contamination. Instead of worrying about what to order, you can pick your crust, add your toppings and enjoy. You can even get gluten-free pasta and lemon-baked salmon filet or striploin steak. It’s a safe choice for a night out with friends.
Most of their menu is not gluten-free, but the five gluten-free pizzas they do offer are absolutely delicious. Pizza 73’s pies will definitely become some of your favourites. They’ve got classic cheese, pepperoni and Hawaiian options, as well as vegetarian and a customizable pizza with your two favourite toppings. Their crust is made with rice instead of wheat and you can grab one until 2 a.m.
