Pizza Reviews

I absolutely adore pizza. I crave pizza. All the time. I'm always willing to go out to the few places here in Spokane that have GF crust. And I will always drive over to Coeur D'Alene, ID to go to the Northwest Pizza Company (formerly Garlic Jim's).

The pizza at Northwest Pizza is great! They have kept all of the same standards as far as ensuring there is no cross contamination from the gluten containing pizza. There is also GF beer and Coca-Cola products, so I'm in heaven. The owner, Jeff, had to change a few things when becoming his own pizza joint and breaking free of the Garlic Jim's Franchise. Most of those were good changes, like improving products used so that he could use items he feels are superior in taste and ingredients. One thing I wish he would improve on, is the pizza sauce, it's a little bland. The overall pizza is great, the sauce just seems to be lacking in flavor a little.

Another place that we go to on occasion is Bennidito's here in Spokane. They are hit or miss. Sometimes, they are completely sold out of GF crust, so I'm just out of luck, which is super annoying. It happens pretty frequently. Other times, I almost wonder if they just gave me regular crust because I get sick. I feel like I can't depend on them to have my crust and I'm risking getting sick whenever I go there, so it's low on my list of places to go.

South Perry Pizza is another option in Spokane. My husband says the regular pizza is mediocre and I think the GF pizza is ok, it's just kind of a sweet tasting crust.

The Flying Goat is hands down my favorite pizza place in Spokane! They have gluten free beer choices as well. (currently New Planet and Dogfish Head) My husband loves the regular pizza and the extensive regular beer list. Our 2 year old loves it too and requests going there often.

Another newer option here is Five Mile Heights Pizza. Very good gluten free pizza and GF beer. Regular pizza is pretty good too. It's a very family friendly place, reminding me of a lower scale "Chucky Cheese" type of place, with video games and lots of long tables for large groups. I do think it's a bit expensive though.

I always check the freezer case for new frozen pizzas. It's not my favorite solution, and most of the options aren't great and are very expensive, but it will do in a pinch.
A favorite, if I have time, is to make my dough from the pizza crust mix by Gluten Free Mama. It's pretty easy and good.
I just tried a new frozen pizza. Its called Bella Monica Flatbread company's Gluten Free All-Natural Pizza. It is a 10" personal pizza with pepperoni and was about $9. It's not good. Way overpriced and tasted like a glorified cracker. If there hadn't been cheese and sauce to give it flavor, it would have been a dry, flavorless crispy cracker. I'm not impressed.
