Hey Celiac Warriors!
A few weeks ago, I saw a commercial for Freschetta pizza. I was laying on my couch and playing a game on my phone while the commercial aired. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw "Gluten Free" on one of the pizzas advertised. I decided to make a note of the new item and look for it when I go food shopping.
During my grocery shopping trip, I saw the gluten free Freschetta pizza. They had two kinds of pizza: Four Cheese Medley and Pepperoni. I picked up the Four Cheese Medley and finished up my shopping trip.
Tonight, I decided to try out this pizza.
For a gluten free frozen pizza, it was pretty good! It was crispy, cheesy, and the sauce was very good.
Usually, frozen pizzas end up tasting rather tasteless, but this one had really nice flavors. You could taste (and smell) all the various cheeses that were on the pizza.
The pizza is a small/medium size. It has four servings and it's less than 400 calories a serving. You have to cook it in the oven at 450 degrees. It only takes 12-16 minutes to cook.
If you like crispy pizza crust, I highly recommend you bake your pizza on a pizza/bread stone.
For those of you worried about whether or not it is safe for us Celiacs, let me put your worries to rest: it is perfectly safe for us. The Celiac Sprue Association gives this new gem its seal of approval...and so do I.
If you're looking to have a pizza night, and you want something new, you HAVE to grab the new GF Freschetta pizza. The price isn't bad. You can find this frozen pizza at most grocery stores. It will be with all the non-GF pizzas, but you will be able to find it pretty easily. It says 'Gluten Free' in big bold letters.
Allergy Warning: This pizza does contain dairy. If you're a Celiac who is sensitive to dairy, I highly recommend taking a lactaid before enjoying this pizza.
Anyways, thank you Freschetta for making a gluten free option for us Celiacs! We appreciate it! Much love!
