I love pizza. I think I’m actually addicted to it. Recently a small pizza place has opened near our house and I have fallen in love with their pizzas. They are superb. But this addiction can only be indulged after the boys have gone to bed because of their dietary restrictions. Sometimes I feel so horrible hiding food from them, and I have tried to make GFCF pizza here at home. They seem to enjoy it but it really isn’t that wonderful.
Today, while we were shopping at our local mall, Larry asked what we would do for lunch. Unfortunately I knew we didn’t have a lot of options at home and Matthew began to ask if we could eat lunch at the mall. Larry and I discussed our choices – Chick-fil-a, or well, Chick-fil-a. As we were trying to decide if we were going to stay at the mall or pick up chicken on the way home, Larry mentions how he would like to try the gluten free pizza at Unos Pizzeria. I figued the boys would love to try that and there was an Unos right in the parking lot so we decided to try it.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Unos had a rather large gluten free menu with lots of options, but we were there for pizza! We ordered the gluten free pepperoni pizza with NO cheese. Needless to say it was a hit with our boys. Matthew ate 3.5 slices alone!
When we got home I gave him his afternoon medicines and I added a TriEnz digestive enzyme just to make sure he could handle any possible infraction, but I don’t think we had anything to worry about. I checked the nutritional information and we should have been fine. There is always a chance of cross contamination at a restaurant, so make your judgments based on your child, but now we have a new option for dining out!
