I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated but there really hasn’t been
much to update. We have been in a rut as
of late. A friend recently told us he
found gluten free pizza on the West side and so we bit. On the drive we saw a sign at a Mexican
cantina for “glutin free Pizza” (SIC) but we decided to continue on to our
destination.
The atmosphere was fun with TV’s in every direction and the menu was plentiful with curious ideas for pizzas, which all seemed fun to me. My biggest hang up was the lack of knowledge from the waitress.
We asked what was gluten free on the pizzas and they said pretty much everything. We told them we were concerned about the alfredo and the BBQ sauce. They returned saying those had gluten. The waitress then said all the meats were gluten free. I said I doubted the meatballs were. She checked and they were not okay. So at that point we had a decision to make. Should we leave and cut our losses or should we risk it so I had something to blog about. We risked it.
I got a Philly Cheesesteak pizza and substituted marinara for the alfredo sauce. It was tasty. The thinly sliced steak was a sensation I had yet to taste on a pizza. The onions were a bit undercooked for my liking but they were sweet and scrumptious.
They had a few gluten free ciders. I enjoyed an Ace’s Pear Cider that was wonderful. Very fruity. Smelled like skittles!
All in all, we enjoyed our visit but if you are going we recommend you come prepared. If you are new to gluten intolerance, this is not a place I would try first. Learn your stuff and then come ready to ask lots of questions and make sure you are confident you are getting what you ordered.
Because it wasn’t super cheap per person (about $12 per pie) I am not sure I would risk going back. I still prefer, Mulligans, Wheat State and Wichita Pizza Company. If I found a groupon, we might consider going back. Either way it’s still fun to experience new gluten free food.
