Ahh gluten free pizza…the first option many restaurants add to their menu, but usually the worst culprit for 1) cross-contamination and 2) everyone’s favorite “cardboard” texture. Don’t get me wrong, I love that restaurants have the option, but it’s rare to find places with pizza that I actually WANT to eat.
Recently, I’ve been testing a lot of the different crust options at home to see which ones cook up the best. There are some nice mixes that you can buy, but in this post I’m just picking my favorite pre-mixed, ready to bake doughs!
Without further ado, here are my two favorite brands…and both happen to be located in Connecticut!
1. Make It GF Pizza Dough
Lori Cornett, the owner of Make It GF in Canton, CT is actually a scientist by trade…and I think that’s how she was able to formulate such an impressive dough! It comes as a ball of dough and you spread it out and bake it yourself. Lori was nice enough to add a video on her website about how to do it! You can check it out here. It also happens to be nut free, soy free, grain free, egg free, dairy free, and GMO free!
How it’s packaged
Once it’s cooked, it comes out looking like this (or at least mine did):
Look at that crust…
I have to say, for people used to New York or CT style pizza, this is the most authentically similar kind of crust I’ve ever tried! Even my husband said it was delicious and it tasted pretty much like “regular” pizza. It gets a nice crispy outside while maintaining that bite and chew of a traditional gluteny pizza inside. If you can get your hands on this crust (or any of their products), I highly recommend it!! You can order it online and have it shipped right to you if you’re living in the Northeast Region of the US!
2. Still Riding Foods Gluten Free Pizza Crust
Still Riding Foods is another brand located in Connecticut. They’ve worked hard to formulate a pizza crust that is also similar to that New York style of pizza. However, it doesn’t come as a ball of dough. Instead, it comes vacuum sealed, pre-cooked, and never frozen. So all you have to do is pop it out of the package, top it with your favorite toppings, and stick it in the oven. It’s great! Plus it’s free of the top 8 allergens and is also kosher, vegan, and non-GMO.
This crust is crispy and chewy as well and my gluten-pizza-loving-husband approved! It’s a great go-to for a quick and delicious dinner. Plus they sell various crust sizes and will ship to anywhere in the country!
